Most women will tell you, a guy that smells good instantly grabs your attention. There are more mens cologne varieties and womens perfume today than at any other time in history. Your grandpa came home from WWII wearing "Old Spice", and Dad turned Mom's head with scents like "Brut" and "Chaps". Far beyond "Old Spice," in todays times, a mans perfume or cologne now has with it smells of citrus and surprisingly some flowers in the mix too.

Citrus scents carry a deceptive name. They may use oil of lemon or orange, but perfumes or colognes like the Tommy Hilfiger discount fragrance "Tommy" are far from smelling like a slice from an orange. Their fresh sporty scent is great for an active guy. Splashed on as an aftershave or applied as a cologne, the fragrance extends that clean just out of the shower feel.

Fougere is a more robust, classic perfume family. Lavender & Oak moss bring their rich roots to this robust family, which are often usually blended with spicy, woody, and even leather scents. "Brut" in its trademark green bottle, is a fougere, classic leather scent. Ask Mom about this one.

Leather? You ...
... ask. Yes, leather is one of the most popular men's scents to date. Birch tar and cade oil give fragrances like "English Leather" by Dana Perfumes a smoky or musky scent, in tune with a more "macho" man or a man willing to take on the hands-on out of door labor.

The family of chypre has patchouli, sage, and some other woody resins all custom made for the outdoor type of man.. fishin, hunting, or the camp'in man. One of the perfume bases from the last century, you no longer hear of it very often. That doesn't mean that these discount fragrances are no longer in use. The marketing descriptions have merely shifted. Think north woods, plaid wool jackets and crisp, cold, cutty, fresh air.

The "weight" of oriental perfume and cologne allow them not to be worn often throughout the day, for instance at work or the office. Its when the sun goes down these scents come to life. At night, their "weight" with oil based perfume scents.. they are dark & heavy featuring resins and amber. They will bring alot of unpredictableness and mystery to your evening.

Woody scents tend to be more dry and 'softer' not having the demanding presence of many other fragrance family. The lack of stridency does not mean easily forgotten. Perfumes and colognes of sandalwood epitomize the meditative warmth of this family. "Safari" (for men) by Ralph Lauren and "Cool Water" by Davidoff Colognes are both considered great discount woody scents for perfume and cologne.

Last but not least, spicy fragrances round out the perfume families for men. Pepper, cloves, basil, cinnamon and other oils from India typify this family. "Joop!" is probably the most famous of these. It is also suited for evening and winter wear. But, if you are prone to sweating, remember to go sparing with these stronger smells. A good discount perfume or cologne is attractive by itself, it should not drive people away.

Please keep in mind that a good discount fragrance with a nice scent will attract anyone's attention as long as it does not drive them away. {{{Alot of people remember things through their sense of smell. The way one smells something is strongly related to memory.|The sense of smell is that sense most strongly associated with memory. How do you want to be remembered? Woodsy, spicy, mysterious and dark? With the right perfume or cologne a man or a women for that matter will make the impression that lingers on.
