Introduce to Cologne for Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A well-made suit, a posh silk tie, and well-groomed hair are definitely essentials for office attire. However, what most men neglect when getting dressed for the office is the perfect cologne. Trust us, you\u2019re not ready to tackle your to-do list until you wear a great cologne<\/a> that matches your personality and style. This is very different than picking a cologne for your dates<\/a>. However, this begs the question: What are the best cologne for work? Admittedly, there is no one-bottle-fits-all answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, there are so many different types of work environments and situations to account for. Something a little more citrusy and invigorating may be suitable for the man who\u2019s often outdoors, but not the banker heading to CBD in a dark suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule of thumb for choosing colognes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule of thumb, you want to select a fragrance that isn\u2019t too loud. It should blend in well with your office environment, your client\u2019s d\u00e9cor, and your own personal workspace. You should also choose something more discreet that isn\u2019t going to assault your colleague\u2019s nostrils. Remember, less is more when you want to make a good impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the best office cologne is an important decision, since it\u2019ll be what your co-workers know as your \u201csignature scent\u201d. Here are a couple of pointers that can help you get started on identifying some of the best office colognes for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 Sillage \/ Projection: Medium to Low<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In fragrance terms, sillage basically refers to the trail of scent left behind from a perfume. Ever smelt someone before you\u2019ve even realised he or she was in the room? Yep, that \u201cprojection\u201d is is sillage, and you don\u2019t want to be in that aforementioned situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, in a professional work environment, especially if you\u2019re always in close proximity of others, you\u2019ll want a fragrance with low sillage, so people don\u2019t have to feel overwhelmed by your scent, however charming it is. Keep the heady ones for the after-work drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re always on the go, however, you can get away with a medium sillage perfume — it should work fine in an outdoor setting or open space. Just avoid perfumes with high sillage at all cost — unless you hate your co-workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Longevity \/ Duration: High to Medium  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those with full-time jobs, you\u2019re probably going to be out for the most part of your day. Hence, another factor to keep in mind when selecting a work-appropriate fragrance is how long is it going to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, a few extra squirts in the morning isn\u2019t going to make your fragrance last longer. If anything, it may just end up overwhelming people around you or stain your white shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the concentration of essential oils, different colognes possess different longevity, or duration. Most fragrances for men are sold as Eau de Toilette (EDT), which lasts for about 4-5 hours. If you don\u2019t have the luxury of time to reapply your fragrance every now and then, go for something stronger like Parfum or true Perfumes, which last the longest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Seasons and Fragrance Family matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect to take into consideration is the season and type of fragrance. If you\u2019re travelling to a winter country for a work trip, stronger colognes will work better. In humid, tropical climates, however, lighter and fresher scents are more suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s refer to the fragrance wheel as a guide.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oriental or amber<\/strong> fragrances are stronger, spicier and bolder — great scents for the evening, romantic dates out and cool weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Fresh<\/strong> scents tend to be lighter and most suitable for daytime use and summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woody scents <\/strong>are easy to wear, and also more versatile. Hence, most colognes tend fall into the fresh or woody categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fougere<\/strong> [Pronounced: foozh-air], characterised by its sharp herbaceous and woody scent, is also extremely popular for men’s wear-to-work colognes. The search for the best office colognes for men doesn\u2019t have to be hard. You can ask the woman in your life to pick one out for you and see how you feel wearing it around the workplace. You can even ask a close colleague for comments. More importantly, it\u2019s about how you feel when wearing a certain cologne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with the knowledge above, here are some of the best colognes for work<\/p>\n\n\n\n
