How to choose the perfect fragrance for you

Choosing a fragrance is a very personal decision that goes beyond simply smelling good. It's a way to express your personality, your mood, and your style. Here are some tips to help you find your ideal fragrance:

By olfactory family

Do you prefer fresh and energizing scents, warm and enveloping, or mysterious and seductive? Knowing the olfactory families is the first step to narrow your search. Discover our selection of citrus fragrances, woody and oriental.

By occasion

A fragrance for going to the office is not the same as for a romantic date or a wedding. Each occasion requires a different type of scent.

By age

Although there are no written rules, certain fragrances tend to fit better with different stages of life. Fresher and lighter scents are usually ideal for younger people, while more complex and woody ones can be perfect for more mature men. 

Frequently asked questions about fragrances for men

What is the best fragrance for men in 2025?

According to our analysis, divain-228 stands out as one of the best due to its popularity, versatility, and the quality of its scent. However, the best fragrance will always be the one that best suits your style, personality, and skin chemistry.

How to correctly apply a fragrance so it lasts longer?

Apply the fragrance on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) and avoid rubbing to not alter the fragrance's composition. Hydrated skin retains the scent better, so consider using an unscented lotion before applying it. Discover more in our guide to application of fragrances.

What is the difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum?

The main difference is the essence concentration. An Eau de Parfum (EDP) has a higher concentration (15-20%) and therefore usually lasts longer on the skin (6-8 hours). An Eau de Toilette (EDT) has a lower concentration (5-15%) and a shorter duration (3-5 hours).
