When most women are searching for gifts for their husbands for special occasions, the idea of cologne generally comes up. Cologne can be a good gift, but can be somewhat difficult to pick out. Here are some general tips that can be helpful in finding the perfect cologne for your husband.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Browse through his current cologne collection. This will help you get an idea of some of the scents he generally wears and may give you a clue as to what smells he prefers.
Step2
Check out different colognes at the store. Test each out fragrance and find the ones you’d like to smell on him. Price each of them as well so you can get an idea of what you need to spend.
Step3
Test each fragrance while in the store. This will give you a good idea of what each smells like and which would be best.
Step4
Purchase the cologne. Be sure to get a gift receipt in case he would like to return it or purchase a different fragrance.

Tips & Warnings

  • Looking through his collection may also help you decide whether he likes cologne or aftershave best.
  • You may want to stick to the same scent he already has or something close to what he likes.
  • Be sure to check the return policy on the cologne, just in case he doesn’t like it.
