And now, take a look at the Best Choices of Wedding Fragrances for Men, leafing through the slides.
For the Laid Back Groom
Terre d'Hermes
Citrusy but tenacious with its woody notes, this best-selling cologne is a modern classic adored by almost everyone. It's practically a no-brainer. The fact that it has a modern molecule that tends to create an "aura" of attraction, making its presence known at intervals, is another bonus.
For the Elegant Groom
Sycomore (Chanel)
A supremely elegant and beautiful choice thanks to its lightly smoky note of vetiver, an exotic grass that feels cooling and mysterious. Sold at Chanel boutiques and online exclusively (you will find it under the auspices of Les Exclusifs de Chanel) this is a special scent that you will get you noticed, but its pedigree and chic "sillage" (find out what this beautiful term means here) ensure a subtle and graceful presence.
Whether you've opted for a city wedding or an outdoors one, it should fit both. (And wives can later snatch it too!)
For the Unconventional Groom
Santal Blanc (Serge Lutens)
Based on sandalwood, a beloved and sacred perfume "note" for centuries, and on cedarwood, this reliable choice is uncommon yet still feels proper for a special wedding day. Sandalwood is tied to religious ceremonies throughout the East, so it has a spiritual vibe. Cedarwood is an austere wood "note" that renders an impression of seriousness yet also serene acceptance. These are things I associate with marriage, don't you?
Eau de Guerlain (Guerlain)
A unisex fragrance that hover between citrus essences and a light smattering of musk, it's joyful, debonair and totally addictive. It's also based on a "recipe" that goes back centuries, yet given that sophisticated European spin that Guerlain gives to their classic fragrances.
Bergamot and lemon sing harmoniously while an aromatic touch of mint and basil gives freshness.
The cologne really does gain momentum when the sensuous musk and amber note emerge and leave a warm skin effect. Overall cool, but in a sensual way too.
