Types of Cologne

Understanding Fragrance

Your scent or range of colognes you use says a lot about you and what you want people to know about you. Your signature scent needs to be able to be associated with you. There is much information on fragrances and colognes, but we’ve broken it down into two easy pointers.

Successful Notes
When people talk about colognes, they will always start with notes. What are these? These notes are the layers of the cologne; there are top, heart and base notes. The top notes are the first you smell or the strongest, which then fade and allow the heart notes to equalise and combined the top and base notes. The base notes are the longest lasting and become the most noticeable; these are the lingering perfumes.

All In The Family
The family of scents cover the basic fresh, floral, oriental and woody. In the colder months, oriental or woody scents work well. In the warmer months fresh and floral work with the Sun. We’ve broken the top fragrances from each family into these categories for you below.
Your signature scent can be used year-round but sometimes utilise a colder/warmer months sub-scent to ensure your signature fragrance is continually associated with you.
