Men's Grooming Tips And Advice

I got myself another new fragrance…Well, a fragrance which I’ve just bought, but it’s not so new. This is Gucci Pour Homme, and the bottle might look familiar if you’ve been a fan of the Gucci cologne line for years.

It’s the same as one of my favourite aftershaves, Gucci By Gucci Pour Homme. Is this the same scent in a new bottle? Is it a completely different scent?

Here’s what you need to know.

Leaves are falling, it’s starting to get cold, it must be Autumn! But what fragrances should you be wearing this season?

We’ve just left the Summer behind, and now you’ll be thinking about what are the best Autumn fragrances to wear. There’s so many scents which can work for this season, but I’ve picked out those which are specially suited to this time of year.

The colour most associated with Autumn is brown, we think of leaves falling and so woody scents are the perfect choice. We don’t need the heavy hitters of super warming scents more suited to Winter, but something to warm you up nonetheless.

Notes to look out for when choosing a fragrance are:

• woody
• masculine
• musky
• spicy
• aromatic
• floral

Best avoided are the citrus heavy, sweet, aquatic or fresh scents which are better suited to the Spring or Summer.

These are the best autumn fragrances you can wear in 2020

It’s no secret that Summer is my favourite season, I love it for so many reasons, and having that perfect summer fragrance is a must.

There’s so much fashion out there for the Summer which I love, you can be as bright and colourful as you like with your clothing and style options, there’s the weather, which is sometimes sunny and at least a bit warmer.

And of course Summer football with the Euros or World Cup at least every other year.

Men’s fragrances are hugely popular right now, and we’re all spending lots of money on them. There’s a large range, not only designers, but specialised perfume houses, along with different strengths such as eau de parfum.

But if you’re on a budget or don’t want to spend a whole lot of cash, there’s plenty of bargains to be had.

One reason why they’re cheap can be because they’re now old. This doesn’t mean they smell bad, it just means that in terms of marketing, they’ve reached their peak, and are now being discounted.

There’s also plenty of newer budget friendly scents you can get, it’s all about getting a scent you like, and not being a perfume snob when you’re looking for cheaper fragrances.

Here’s the best cheap aftershaves you can get right now. You should be able to pick these up for well under £20.
