Fragrance Bottles

In this article we’ll be looking at my review of the Michael Kors mens cologne fragrance.

Man’s behavior and feelings are significantly affected by his body odor even if nobody is near enough to smell him.

In 2009, a research was conducted among students from Liverpool University by the International Journal of Cosmetic Science.

The study examined the relationship of body odor on one’s self-confidence, ego-rated attractiveness, and male-female attractiveness.

The result showed that fragrance does not only make a man smell good. It boosters his self-confidence, improves over-all concentration and increases his sex drive.

Capitalizing on the importance of scent, Michael Kors Cologne for Men was created.

Product Description

Michael Kors Cologne for Men is a blend of natural or synthetic fragrant oil extracts diluted in water or high-grade alcohol.

In 2014, Michael Kors Cologne was launched as the second fragrance exclusively for the male following the first Michael released in 2001.

A perfect scent for men on the go, the new fragrance was the wedding of urban sophistication and masculine rugged style.

Michael is characteristically an innovation of the woody and oriental blending of the dry fragrant woods and patchouli.

Add an undertone of leather with hybrid spray of citrus bomb or patchouli. The effect is “sexy, but unexpected.”

Michael Kors is a creation of Harry Fremont. A Master cologner at Firmenich, he developed the composition.

It was a heavenly blend of Bergamot, black pepper, coriander, elemi open to the heart of sage, incense, star anise and thyme.

Bergamot essential oil is produced by cells inside the rind of a bergamot orange fruit.

In the middle note is Black Pepper Oil for it contributes crisp and fresh smell, almost like a woodsy peppercorn added to the blend.

Coriander exudes sweet and fresh herbaceous aroma. Elemi oil has a light woody, slightly citrusy feel to it.

Incense Oil adds to its aroma. Star anise has a beautiful, fresh, sweet, spicy, liquorice-like aroma. Thyme is a potent, warm essential oil that holds powerful cleansing and purifying properties.

Most popularly associated with its woodsy, sweet smell, sandalwood oil is commonly used as the base aftershave cream, cosmetics, incense and colognes.

Musk is a class of aromatic substances commonly used as base notes in colognery. Sleek Woods describes the dry down and brings the polished combination to a velvety finish.

Fragrance scents

Michael Kors Cologne has several wonderful scents. They are given the name -fragrance notes.

The perfect blend of the different elements completes the quality of this scent.

True to its word that it is name, the Paco Rabanne 1 Million is a great choice.

The moment the fragrance opens up it give you that woodsy notes followed by the notes of amber, cinnamon, patchouli, citrus and floral.

Some say that the cologne appears to be slightly feminine and I also kind of noticed that in the scent.

In fact, I know a few women who say that they also wear Paco Rabanne 1 Million.

But between masculinity and the softness side of this fragrance, there is no doubt that it still gives you that nice masculine scent.

The very first notes can be quite too strong but it gets softer as the other components of the fragrance come in.

When to Wear It: Paco Rabanne unlike other colognes can be worn for both casual and formal events.

You can wear it during the day time or night time depending on your preference.

But in my view, its best use is for evening wear or if you are going out for a casual event. It has that really woodsy and striking scent that really that is appealing.

Longevity: In terms of longevity, it is not bad but it is not so great either.

A few sprays can already give you that scent you desire. But its longevity will not last the distance.

It wouldn’t last for the whole day and night especially if you are outside.

Nonetheless, it can still give you that lasting fragrance which is not so bad for the quality of scent that you can get for such price.

Conclusion

My thoughts on Paco Rabanne are based on my personal opinion.

So far after using it several times, I can say that this cologne is worth the purchase.

Is it the best that I’ve ever had? No. But then I like the composition of this scent.

It is a good blend and combination of masculinity and a touch of softness in it which is very seductive and appealing.

This cologne is a good choice for evening wear and for casual occasions with its very striking and woodsy scent with citrus and floral notes.

With just a few sprays, I can already have the fragrance I desire. The only setback is that it is not as long lasting as what I expected it to be.

Over-all, it is still worth a try. If given the choice as to whether I would repurchase or not, I would of course still buy it.
