Its being a while after the first Blog post I did. I was actually thinking of the next topic on which to write on. So many kept popping up and I couldn't decide, finally while going to work early some morning ago, on the Bus, a colleague of mine who was seating just ahead of me was wearing this nice armless dress; but no that was not what caught my attention it was the murk beneath her armpits, it was her deodorant. It kept foaming and releasing some white gooey stuff all over, it was a mess. The terrible thing about it was she was oblivious of the whole scene she was producing.
When it comes to women beauty tips, am no expert, but no expert is required to identify wrong stuffs when you see one. This blog though is created to give great Tips on Beauty, Health and Style, all for Men.
I'll be discussing Top Tips to identify the Best Fragrance, here goes.
There is no confident booster better than knowing you well dressed, smell good and look good in general; its an Ego bump.
The 21st century Man should be keen about his looks, how he smells and the perception of the opposite sex of him. How "soft" you look can often have an impact -desired or not -on social stand.
Fragrance is an invisible part of our personality and style, it has a powerful effect on how people view and remember you. A perfume or cologne should offer attractiveness, confidence and much more.
As strange as this might sound an European study showed that in choosing a mate, while Men are often attracted by their eyes, women are attracted by what they smell. Smell is said to be the most powerful sense. It has the ability to form a stronger, deeper emotional connection. The sense of smell is 150,000 million times more sensitive than our vision. A particular scent can trigger memories long lost and has the effect to change our mood Powerful and Unique scents equal deep emotional connection. How true this is; the scent of my mother is something I'll probably die with, you don't forget such stuff- the smell of your home, wife, son or daughter, its engraved up there, its the connection.
