There’s something undeniably masculine about leather. The smell of a leather fragrance instantly paints a picture of a darkly lit room with leather furniture and sophisticated men smoking cigars and sipping on fine whiskey.
If you want to give the impression that you’re a refined man with impeccable taste with a hint of ruggedness, you need a leather fragrance. Warm and slightly spicy in scent, leather fragrances are perfect for when you want to impress.
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.
If you’re looking for a leather fragrance, these are the best ones to try as they are all high-quality and smell simply luxurious.
