When selecting the best perfume for a gentleman, don’t just consider how nice it smells. The type of perfume, how long it lasts, and alcohol content are also important.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we review the best perfumes for men available on the UK market, and give you tips on how to choose the best one for yourself.<\/p>\n

What To Consider When Choosing Perfume For A Gentleman<\/h2>\n

A. Type of Perfume<\/h3>\n

There are several types of perfumes, but only three of them are most common. The main differences among the different types of perfumes is the amount of perfume oils and alcohol percentage.<\/p>\n

These two factors determine how powerful the perfume is and how long its scent lasts.<\/p>\n

Eau de Parfum (EDP)<\/h4>\n

Eau de Parfum is one of the most powerful types of perfumes with perfume oils making up 15-20%<\/a> of the bottle\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

It delivers a full range of top, middle, and low notes and retains its scent for up to 8 hours. It\u2019s perfect if you want a perfume that will keep you smelling good the entire day.<\/p>\n

Be careful though if you work in a small closed space with other people. It might be too overpowering for others. Try Eau de Toilette instead.<\/p>\n

EDP has low alcohol content, making it a good choice if you have sensitive skin.<\/p>\n

Eau de Toilette (EDT)<\/h4>\n

This is the most popular type of perfume mostly because it\u2019s cheaper.<\/p>\n

It contains 5-15% in aromatic oils, which gives it a lighter profile compared to EDP. It\u2019s perfect if you want a light scent that will not be too much for other people.<\/p>\n

Depending on the percentage of oils, EDT can retain its scent on you for 4-6 hours.<\/p>\n

Eau de Cologne (EDC)<\/h4>\n

Cologne has the lowest amount of aromatic compounds – typically in the range of 2-6%. This makes it one of the lightest and cheapest perfumes.<\/p>\n

EDC lasts for around 2 hours, so you may need to reapply it several times throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Be careful if you have sensitive skin. Eau de Cologne contains the most alcohol.<\/p>\n

B. Scent (top, middle and base notes)<\/h3>\n

Once you decide what kind of perfume you want, pick your preferred scent profile.<\/p>\n

Most men\u2019s perfumes are a mixture of citrus notes plus traditionally masculine notes like leather, sandalwood, tobacco and cedar.<\/p>\n

These perfumes have a woody, smoky, herbal, earthy or spicy scent.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t focus so much on the top notes especially if you are buying Eau de Toilette or cologne. These are usually citrus or fruity notes that fade away quickly.<\/p>\n

The main scent will be from the middle and base notes. Some of the most common are cedar, leather, tobacco, bergamot, musk, and sandalwood.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a more unisex scent, look for a perfume with fruity, floral, and sweet notes.<\/p>\n

C. Authenticity<\/h3>\n

Fake perfumes are common when shopping online. Be extra careful that what you are buying is the genuine original perfume.<\/p>\n

The best way to be sure is buying from Amazon, the original brand itself, or an authorised third party seller (check the \u2018Sold by\u2019 label when ordering on Amazon to see who is selling the perfume).<\/p>\n
