However, if you are a single man than I would suggest you do your market research. Either approach girl friends of yours about which colognes they like on guys, or when you go shopping for cologne do not hesitate to ask the women near by which scent they prefer. Make it a point to ask the counter girl who is trying to sell you the cologne which one she prefers.

Are you buying cologne for everyday use at your office or after the gym, or after a shower? Or is this cologne meant to entice your female friend as you take her on your first date or is it meant for those nights when you are taking your special lady out for dinner? This would mean selecting completely different types of colognes and it is important to know what you will be using this cologne for. The clerk at the store can recommend you to some scents that might match the various occasions. Your cologne is a part of your style. It leaves an immediate impression on people that you meet. It acts just like the clothes and the shoes that you wear.
