The Design

How do you create a perfume when you have no idea I hear you ask. Well the Waft website gives you the clear options which guides you through the full process. Rather than simply add flavours and smells which are hard to imagine the design process allows you to select the moods that you want.

With this we chose a Feminine selection with a Social flavour. Options include Sexy, Fresh and Elegant, all of which produce different combinations.

Waft enables you to capture the essence of your favourite moods and emotions in a bottle.

The ability to add the potency of the perfume is a great feature allowing you to make it either a strong, personal or balanced smell.

Another feature that we found useful was the ability to chose which perfumes we like so that we can craft the perfect scent. With this we chose our mother’s favourite perfumes, we are on to a winner with this one.

Two issues with regards to applying perfume:

1. How can we make it last longer?
2. How can we make the smell stronger (while still using the same quantity)?

Chances are you’re already doing this right but, just in case you’re wondering, here’s the 101 on applying perfume or cologne.

The key is to apply the perfume to the so-called pressure points. These are points on your body where the temperature is higher (because they are close to a vein).

Here’s where the magic happens: if you apply perfume on those “hot-spots”, the smell will be a lot stronger.

Here are some common places where us men can apply perfume:

• our necks
• our wrists
• behind the ear

There is one small catch with these pulse points: if they’re not covered by clothing, the smell is quickly lost. If you want the smell to be felt for more than a couple of hours without reapplying, you need to do something.

And the solution is… to cover the pulse points with clothing. That works great for your wrists. Just wear a sleeved dress shirt. But it’s a little hard to cover your ears right?

The key is to also put on some cologne on your chest. The chest is always covered.

In a nutshell

Target your wrists, neck and behind the ears for a stronger scent.

Apply on your chest and cover your wrist with clothing for longer scent.

Question

Do you wear perfume? At all? If you don’t, let me tell you: you’re missing out on some fabulous feminine reactions. People always associate wearing perfume with being wealthy so this is something you may want to think about.

Needless to say a great perfume will set you apart from other guys. You’ll not only show more class but it’s a chance to make an impression other than through your clothes.

It’s worth noting that all of them were launched in 2010, so you’re guaranteed for something fresh for 2011.
Let’s start with number one.

1. The One Gentleman by D&G

This fragrance was launched in September 2010 and it quickly became very popular. It’s no wonder because its oriental notes are very seductive.
Fragrances:

• vanilla
• pepper
• grapefruit
• patchouli
• cedarwood

If you like to dress formally, you’ll find this fragrance very elegant, perfect for your formal dinners.

2. Bleu de Chanel for Men

Bleu de Chanel is considered one of the best men perfumes launched by Chanel in a long time. Its fresh notes are perfect for the young man, looking for something new:

• bergamont
• lemon

3. Mark Birley For Men Charles Street

Looking for something classy? Look no further than Mark Birley For Men Charles Street. Notes include coffee, rose, raspberry, jasmine, amber, patchouli and vanilla.
It doesn’t have a lot in common with the original Mark Birley For Men but many say it’s better.

4. Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris Pour Homme

This perfume is considered to be “floral-leather”, which is kind of strange for a Men’s perfume. Floral perfumes are almost exclusively for women.
However, don’t let that discourage you from sampling it or buying. You’ll feel sparks of citrus, wood and green tea right from the get go. It’s one of those perfumes that you will either love it or hate it (as there is a lot of controversy around it). So feel free to try it out.

5. True Religion Drifter for Men

This perfume is a follow-up after True Religion, launched in 2009. If you were a fan of that, you’ll definitely like this one. Among the notes:

• rosemary
• apricot
• guaiac
• sandalwood
• amber
• ginger
• pear
• blackberry
• grapefruit

2. Davidoff Adventure

“I think that the most important thing in life is to go out and discover what an amazing world we have , what wonderful people live out there, to enlarge our horizon, not narrow it…The secret to a real journey is  that you must abandon yourself.You must accept any experience that comes your way.And you never know how it might be.” – Ewan McGregor, actor

Let me ask you this: what is an adventure to you?

• A far away place where you have never been
• An emotion rush that you have never felt
• Discovering new values, new sensations
• A challenge into reaching your limits and pushing them further
• Following your path, wherever it may lead you
