Men: Take The Proper Scent For The Precise Time
Basically it is their signature scent. The fragrance you wear to the club generally is stronger than the fragrance you wear at work or around the house (or at least it should be). This article is designed to help men understand the four different types of men’s fragrance and determine what type is right to wear in what circumstances.
Selecting the proper fragrance for the right occasion can make or break your impression. A strong overpowering fragrance will overwhelm and leave a negative impression. Each fragrance has primary notes. The Primary notes are what the fragrance is principally composed of. There are four basic classes of notes Oriental, Floral, Fresh, and Woody notes. Each has unique scent, duration and strength of scent that will contribute to the overall fragrance.
Oriental Fragrances
Oriental notes are generally considered to be the heaviest of notes, offering a stronger longer lasting fragrance. Recommended Application: evening, romance
Examples of Oriental Fragrances: Obsession by Calvin Klein, Armani Black Code by Giorgio Armani, Egoiste by Chanel.
Floral Fragrances
Today, floral fragrances are slightly less popular as a men's fragrance. Floral scents vary in that they are composed of a primary flower or a bouquet of different flowers.
Recommended Application: day, casual, casual evening
Examples of Floral Fragrances: Bvlgari BLV by Bvlgari, Insensé by Givenchy, Burberry Touch by Burberry.
Fresh Fragrances Fresh notes are what I would classify as the clean scents. They are light and offer a fresh, airy fragrance. These scents are composed of light outdoor scents, and citrus. Examples of these notes include: fresh cut grass, lemon, orange, grapefruit, mandarin, and bergamot.
Examples of Fresh Fragrances: Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren, Aqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani, Apparition by Emanuel Ungaro, Drakkar Noir by Guy La Roche.
Woody Fragrances
Woody notes offer a moderate to strong scent. Woody fragrances are often time considered a little exotic. Woody notes are composed of scents from Sandalwood, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Patchouli Bergamot, burnt wood, and tobacco.
Recommended Application: Casual, Romantic, Evening
To make it easier for you to find new fragrances you'll love to wear, we have done the research and have determined the simplest way to explain the different types of fragrances is to use the help of fragrance expert Michael Edwards Fragrance Wheel ©. His Fragrance Wheel©, an internationally recognized classification system breaks fragrance scents down into major four fragrance groups – Floral, Oriental, Woody and Fresh notes – from there the groups are broken down into 12 distinct families. The fragrance families hold the key to your likes and dislikes. To give yourself a better understanding of what fragrances you prefer all one needs to do is understand which fragrance family the scent belongs too.
The citrus oils give these fragrances their unique, tangy, flavorful aroma.

Soft Oriental: Incense adds sensual overtones to fragrant flowers, spices, and amber to create a milder style of Oriental. Fragrance: Soft, Flowers & Spices

Woody Oriental: Composed of Oriental notes and the potent scents of patchouli and sandalwood. Fragrance: Woody, Floral
Mossy Woods: Composed of oakmoss, woods and citrus Chypre fragrances.

Dry Woods: Mossy-woody fragrance takes on a drier personality with the addition of cedar, tobacco and burnt wood notes. Fresh citrus notes play an important role in most Dry Woods fragrances, lightening the deep, almost animalistic base notes.
Fragrance: Leather, Tobacco
Aromatic: This is the universal fragrance family, with sexy cool-warm notes of citrus and lavender, sweet spices and oriental woods. Fragrance: Zesty, Fresh Woody, Floral oriental Combination Woods: Woody scents are dominated by combinations of cedar, patchouli, pine, sandalwood and vetiver.
