How to Choose Cologne

A great cologne can give you a distinctive smell that women will love. Read on to learn how to choose the right cologne.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Go to a department store or specialty store that has a wide selection of quality colognes.

2. When testing a cologne, spray it on your wrist instead of the sample cards they offer. Colognes will smell differently on human skin than they do on paper.

3. Always get the opinion of more than one person. In addition to smelling it yourself, bring along some trusted female friends to judge whether a certain cologne is right for you.

4. Dare to be different - don't immediately go for a popular cologne or a recognizable name brand. Define your own style by choosing a cologne that's unheard of and smells good.

5. Buy a small bottle. A little bit of cologne goes a long way. A small bottle of cologne can last for a few years if you apply it sparingly. This will give you the option of selecting a new scent in a couple of years.

6. Buy online. If you already know which scent you want, shop online to find the best prices on colognes.
