More than just a scent, your fragrance is like your signature, a momentary aura that you leave behind you.

Are expeditions, encounters and discoveries everything to you? If you’re solitary but sociable, a bit of a vagabond, but one that knows how to keep his feet on the ground; rarely a tourist, always a nomad… Bleu by Chanel will be your faithful companion while you mind wanders towards thoughts of open skies and the unexpected. Part of the woody family, the floral notes will carry you away!

You’re liberated and fun-loving… you’ll love Dior’s Eau Sauvage

    Take the man's personality and habits into consideration. All of the above are most excellent choices that would please both men. I would by them all for my man. He has moods as well. I do believe each is categorized correctly. I want a man who has all these qualities. If I was allowed just one choice, I would select Bleue de Chanel.

    Je suis d'accord avec Clair de Jour. Je trouve que cet article est finalement assez réducteur et il est dommage d'entrer dans ce genre de stéréotypes. En plus, les parfums présentés, bien que ce soit des best-sellers, ne sont pas forcément tous des réussites et certaines créations moins "marketées" seraient bien plus attrayantes pour nos nez.
