Sweet Smelling Success in the Board Room & the Bed Room

1. Easy Does It - Use sparingly. A man's scent should be subtle and only noticeable up-close and personal. If they can smell you when you enter a room or they cough when you get in a car, you've put on too much.
   
   
2. Where to Apply Cologne? - A couple of squirts on the wrists, or behind the ears, or on the neck are usually enough. Don't put any on your face or clothes. If you expect to be having a beautiful woman whispering in your ear tonight at a party, put the cologne behind your ears. She won't be able to resist.
   
   
3. Use Different Colognes - A good rule of thumb is to have at least three different scents: one for work, one for casual events, and one for romantic occasions.
   
   
4. Spice Up Your Life - If you have been using the same cologne for years, it's time for a change. If your sex life is boring and not much is happening, try to shake it up and use some different fragrances. Rotate among two to four and don't be predictable.
   
   
5. Shelf Life - Colognes usually last about a year after opening. Toss out the ones you got as presents 10 years ago.
   
   
6. Differences Between Perfume, Cologne, Eau De Cologne and Aftershave - Women wear perfume. Men use aftershave, colognes or eau de colognes. The key difference is the amount of oils in the product. Perfume has a concentration of 20-50% oils, eau de colognes have 5% or more, colognes have about 2-5%, and aftershaves have about 1-3%. Most men wear either an aftershave or cologne. Many use an aftershave during the day and a cologne in the evening.
   
   
7. Types of Scents - Colognes come in an almost endless variety of scents. Pick the ones you think smell good. Here are some guidelines to consider:
   
   
   • Office Colognes - usually have light, fresh citrus, and/or spice scents
     
   • Casual Event Colognes - usually have vanilla, lavender and/or woody scents
     
   • Romance & Evening Colognes - usually have spicy, fruity, floral, woody and musk scents. Sophisticated, exotic and enticing to women. Musk or spice colognes usually get the best reaction between the sheets. Experiment!
