5 Best Fall Colognes for Men



With the change in weather and cooler temperatures, he's going to want to transition from his fresh summer scents to colognes that evoke the aroma of autumn. A few of the colognes on this list have cardamom as a scent note which is a spice frequently used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. I love cardamom and use it in any pumpkin recipe, desserts, oatmeal, Indian curry and chai. It's also an ingredient in Trader Joe's pumpkin pie spice mix. It's hard to describe what it tastes like but it's in the same spice family as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, turmeric and cloves; its a warm spice with a vibrant, rich aromatic flavor. Here's your fall fragrance lineup.


Top Summer Fragrances for Men

Since my 10 Best Colognes for Men post went viral, I wanted to make a separate list of top summer fragrances for men. In the summertime when you're sweating and it's very hot outside  you want a fragrance that's a little bit more on the fresher side. I included a few aquatic scents which are fragrances with an aquatic vibe coming from sea salt notes and greenery.  Wearing a fragrance is always a finishing touch for a lasting impression, which is harder to make with your casual clothes in the summer. Not so if you have a great scent that is lighter, brighter and fresher. When purchasing cologne know the difference in concentrations; the eau de toilette may be cheaper but doesn't last long. Always store your fragrance bottles in a cool dry place, not in your bathroom.  To make your fragrance last longer, apply unscented lotion to your skin before applying your cologne.

Consider this your Father's Day Gift Guide - Fragrance Edition. I divided this list up by season. In the winter time is when he will wear his powerhouse fragrances that smell woody, smoky and spicy. But in the heat of the summer, he's going to want to wear a lighter citrus or aquatic scent.  Wearing a fragrance in the wrong season could have disappointing performance as some perfumes work better with certain temperatures. Winter make perfumes softer so that's when you can wear bold scents.  It's good to have a broad range of fragrances for different occasions just like you have different types of outfits for casual, sexy and professional occasions.  All of these sophisticated fragrances will definitely boost the swag of your man. Having a signature scent helps one to feel more put together, it's the whole package and has a big impact on one's overall look and style.

Men - meet your new shirt

I got a comment that my blog is just for women so I wanted to post a couple items that make men look incredible at the gym. The thing you should know about lululemon is that they basically keep the same model style but release new colors every few months, so just remember the name of the product you like and keep checking back for new colors. Lululemon is a bit pricey, but the quality of their fabrics really makes it worth it! Sure these items come in basic black and blue, but pick some fun spring/summery colors!

I think this is a great style shirt to train in and looks sexy on men! The Metal Vent Tech is made with moisture-wicking, anti-stink material. The reviews affirm that by saying, "this is a superior product that lives up to all expectations." It comes in 20 colors so it should definitely become a staple in your wardrobe! Definitely try the shirt on first as it seems to run large in sizing. For best care, hang it to dry in the shower, don't put it in the dryer, it shouldn't take more than 20 min for it to air dry.

The Pace Breaker Short is one of their best selling models. It comes in 4 colors. They're a lightweight stretchy fabric with an athletic fit. It features built in boxer brief liner to keep everything in place. It also has a drawstring waist, 2 deep side pockets, and one zippered pocket at the bottom of the shorts - how awesome is that! The 9" length is so perfect for a sporty and functional look. 

Always check out their sale section which has very limited inventory and everything does not end up there, but sometimes you can get a nice treat.
