Factors to consider when choosing a perfume for men

There are many factors to consider when a man decides on perfume for himself or another man. We arrange everything in a list as a top-to-bottom priority.

1. Style is the most critical factor every man must consider before choosing, but most ignore it. Style is how you wish to express and show yourself to all others through scent. A scent can enhance your confidence and make your mood pleasant. Your fragrance will express your personality; if you want to look bold and daring, you must prefer a subtle and sophisticated scent. Understanding your style will guide you to your reflected scent.
2. The occasion is the second factor to consider. Before wearing perfume, you must select the perfume that fits the occasion you are attending because different scents suit different settings. For example, you can wear Breeze, Elegance, and Seduction notes for casual outings, formal events, and romantic dinners. Light and fresh fragrances are likely recommended for daytime, while deeper, intense scents are recommended for evening events in Pakistan.
3. The season also plays a considerable part in choosing a fragrance. In our country, lighter fragrances are generally favoured in summer, while more affluent and warmer scents are suggested in winter.
4. Longevity is the most critical factor for Pakistanis. Before buying perfume, you must know its longevity. A perfume that lasts all day without reapplication is ideal, especially for men who do jobs. THE HIGHER THE FRAGRANCE OIL CONCENTRATION, THE LONGER IT LAST. To buy long-lasting perfume, remember the below terms.

• Perfumes labelled as “Parfum” or “Extrait de Parfum” (highest concentration, lasting up to 8-12 hours or more)
• Eau de Parfum (EDP): Slightly lower concentration than Parfum but still offers good longevity, usually lasting 4-8 hours.
• Eau de Toilette (EDT): Lighter fragrance, usually lasting 3-5 hours.
• Eau de Cologne (EDC): Very light fragrance, lasting 2-3 hours.
• Fragrance notes also contribute to perfume longevity. Base notes like amber, must, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli, and oud last longer because they evaporate slower.
• Something like perfume lasts longer on one person than another; oily skin tends to hold fragrance longer than dry skin because oil helps to lock the scent.
• Also, applying perfume to pulse points like the wrists, neck, behind ears, and elbows can help increase the lasting time as these points diffuse the fragrance.

Popular perfume brands for men in Pakistan

Almost all the popular perfume brands are available in Pakistan, but some are well-known by Pakistani people.

Dior Perfumes

Made in Paris, Dior is the most famous perfume among Pakistani men. This perfume was founded in 1947 (Pakistan’s independence year) by Christian Dior, a French fashion designer. They launched “Miss Dior” as their first perfume, which became an instant success. They produce their perfume under the LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) umbrella, the world’s largest luxury goods conglomerate.

In Pakistan, Sauvage by Dior is the most famous perfume for men; every man in Pakistan wants to have it.

Chanel Perfumes

Chanel is also from the home of perfumes (Paris) and became the second most popular brand among Pakistani men. It was founded in 1910 by Gabrielle Chanel, known as Coco Chanel. She introduced Chanel No. 5, her first perfume, in 1921, which became the most luxurious and iconic fragrance in history.

Jacques Polge designed Bleu de Chanel in 2010 for Chanel, which became Pakistani men’s second most demanding fragrance.

Creed Perfumes

This brand was founded in 1760 in London by James Henry Creed. Aventus, launched in 2010, is a dream perfume for Pakistani men. It is a bold and masculine scent with pineapple, birch, and musk notes.

Afnan Perfumes:

Imran Fazlani established the Afnan perfume brand in the 2000s in the United Arab Emirates. They manufacture a mix of Oriental and Western scents with strong projection and longevity. 9PM by Afnan is one of the most famous perfumes for Pakistani men.

Janan is Pakistan’s most famous male performer, including Gold, Janan Sport, Janan Intense, and Janan Oud.

How to use perfume:

Learning how to use perfume is essential because proper application can enhance longevity, prevent wastage, and ensure the scent is neither weak nor firm. Knowing how much where to apply perfume helps its longevity.

1. Don’t shake the bottle before use. Doing so can introduce air bubbles and alter the perfume’s composition.
2. Don’t store in bathrooms; moisture can affect the fragrance.
3. Store in a cool, dark place to prevent scent degradation.
4. Spray after a shower for better absorption.
5. Spray on wrists, neck, behind ears, and chest for lasting effect.
6. Let it dry naturally, and don’t rub it to maintain scent integrity. 
7. 2-4 sprays are enough to avoid over-applying.
8. While spraying, hold the bottle 5-7 inches from the skin.
9. Lightly spray on fabric for extra-lasting power.
10. Use matching body wash or lotion for better longevity.
