Cologne and perfume are often incorrectly regarded as interchangeable words, synonyms, but that is simply not the case. They are different. Cologne is a weak sister of perfume. Cologne is comprised of 5% to 8% essential oils compared to perfume, which is 25% to 30% essential oils with the remaining volume composed of ethyl alcohol and water. Cologne’s scent will not endure as long as the scent of perfume because of the lower concentration of essential oils. Think of perfumes and colognes as music for the olfactory system.

Perhaps this exercise gives us some insight into why there are more than 30,000 fragrances on the market today. Individual taste varies widely, but it is fascinating to me that in the world of music, a generally agreed upon top 10 list can be achieved! Also amazing, at least to me, are the complete absence of certain fragrances. Who would h...

The most common description when we talk of men’s driving gloves is an accessory used to keep the driver’s hand comfortable and safe during the driving experience. It is somewhat a fashion statement also nowadays especially the leather ones which are used by most men nowadays. The main function of it was never neglected also since they are still the best tool when it comes to protect you from heat or cold. This is very important since you need to keep the balance and the grip all throughout while you drive.  This is the best accessory also for maintaining your focus while you drive since they are the ones who will give you a better grip from the handle bar and from this sweating are compensated ones you have this one. Leather for example also has a great sex appeal to person who wears it because of its unique look. This is the reason why most men both normal and in the driving groups are so fond of having one of this these days. The function was maintained where at the same time th...
