While some may think floral fragrances are solely for women, this is simply not the case. Floral fragrances, when blended with traditionally masculine scents, can be refreshing and clean.
Plus, women love the scent of floral fragrances, so when you spritz yourself with a manly floral cologne, you may just find yourself irresistible to the ladies.
How to properly apply cologne
You don’t want to spray cologne all over you, as a quality strong fragrance will intensify over time. You just want a light spray on your neck and wrists; however, don’t spray one wrist and then rub your wrists together, as this will lessen the longevity of your cologne. Spray your neck and each wrist, extremely lightly.
If you really want to enhance your fragrance in warmer weather and you’re wearing shorts, try a light spray behind each knee too.
