I almost never use that perfume? I, who prefer the smell of male and wearing enough? I was convinced. In fact, the CK One fragrance is fresh shock, the bottle has a design all its own and relies on the desire of putting his own staff, as I try to leave me on my travels.

Ck One for Men opens with shock the genuine freshness of cucumber juice and sparkling clementine, while the heart vibrates with black pepper and cardamom flavored with basil black.

The fragrance reveals a creamy layer of moss and patchouli for cashmeran lingering impression. And it is really so. Ck One shock you have left him, with his intensity deceives you "manly" leaving a trail behind you of youth, freedom, and freshness.

Choose a fragrance for men - NOTES IN PERFUMERY

A fragrance designed according to the rules of perfumery is expressed in three successive times that the three perfumers call "notes. “  The "top notes,” the "heart notes" ...

... and "base notes.”  This is called the notes in perfumery.  They also important to characterize a masculine fragrance as women's fragrance too.

 TOP OF THE NOTES - First impressions!

The first time is the moment you smell the perfume for the first time.  What one feels immediately, it is the "top notes"?  They needed and then disappear.

What are the top notes?

To create a first impression, they are not intended to persist only if one compares a fragrance in a conversation, and then the top notes are the presentations and introduction.

Composition of top notes

when you want to literally burst the top notes, they are made ​​with combinations of vivid 

fragrances, often citrus: lemon, mandarin, grapefruit ..., or herbs: rosemary, thyme ...

A fragrance with an emphasis on such top notes seized in the man expresses his energy.  Example: Eau Sauvage from Christian Dior.

The top notes can be softened by the influence of a more subtle citrus: Bergamot, where other elements, such as apple or mango, for example.

NOTES FROM the significant part!

The second time reveals other facets of the fragrance, usually more complex than the top notes.  These are the "heart notes.”

What are the notes of heart?
To make over top notes expressing the "deep character" of the fragrance.  Comparing another fragrance in a conversation, while the heart notes form the significant part!

Composition of heart notes

The heart notes of men's fragrances are often based on combinations of herbs and / or flowers, often focusing on fragrance "savages. “  Many men's fragrances very contemporary use too, likes the female, with fruity scents: black currant, raspberry...

The middle notes then gradually combine with the base notes; they enrich or diminish depending on the character of the perfume.  A fragrance with an emphasis on heart notes often expresses masculinity refined, friendly orempathetic.  Example: The Male by Jean Paul Gaultier.

BACKGROUND NOTES - They want an unforgettable...

The third time finally, expressing the presence of perfume over time.  These are the "base notes,” less intense than the notes that precede them, but more persistent.

What are the base notes?

For inclusion in the fragrance in our memories ...

Composition of base notes

The combination of base notes often use tree species, very varied: Myrrh, birch, sandalwood, oak, cinnamon ... Depending on the species, different parts of the tree are used: foam, bark, sap, wood itself ...

 The combinations are also from the substantive products of animal origin (natural or reproduced synthetically): musk, ambergris ... A scent emphasizing the base notes expresses masculinity sensual, captivating ... Example: Obsession Night by Calvin Klein. A men's fragrance "as enveloping as the night ..."

Board fragrance for men - How to take the time to choose!  "My advice to avoid impulsive choices.  I advise to look for fragrances.  My advice is to take samples.They're made ​​for!  I advise to smell, to think quietly and then decide.  I think that choosing a new fragrance-justified at least two successive passages on the place of sale: A first passage to "pick up the info, and a second passage to acquire the fragrance you chose.”

Board perfume for women - Do not project your personality on man!  "For women planning to deliver a scent to a man I always advise that: - Think about the personality of the man to whom you plan to offer a particular perfume, and give him sweet talking about his personality to him ...”
