It is true that first impressions are the most lasting impressions and how a man smells is something that can mean a lot. Women have known this fact for thousands of years and it is only in the past couple of hundred years that men have been taking notice and using fragrances to their benefit. However; over the course of the past decade the science of mens fragrances has advanced by leaps and bounds and now more than ever a man has so much more to chose from in the way of colognes.
The Differences Between Mens and Womans Fragrances
The first mens colognes were developed in Europe, hundreds of years ago. In fact, the actual name, "cologne", was given to distinguish mens fragrances from womens, which were then and still are referred to as perfumes. Also, French made mens fragrances are commonly referred to as Eau de Toilette and in general they tend to be stronger and more longer lasting then colognes.
New Fragrances Being Developed
The people who develop mens fragrances are continually at work to develop new products that will entice people to buy them. How they go about this process is completely unscientific in the end it is the test of the nose that determines which products finally make it to market. Men all know what they like to smell like and this can vary from man to man. However; there are colognes that have been developed over the years that have proven to be very popular with men in general.
Sex Pheromones and Mens Fragrances
One new and intriguing area of research in the mens fragrance is in the science of sex pheromones and how they can be used in mens fragrances. Imagine, if you will for a moment, if there was a mens cologne that contained a substance that worked on a females baser senses to make her sexually attracted to a man. Who ever comes up with this as of yet unsynthesized substance will be recognized as a hero to all men.
