How To Choose A Perfume That Enhances Your Personality

Updated: Jun 28, 2021

You might be wearing the most stylish clothes, keep a well-groomed beard, have your hair done right, and even harbor a chiseled body – but oftentimes, the most underrated element of a man‘s ensemble is the fragrance he is wearing. A good perfume can, more often than not, make all the difference in creating a lasting and impressive impression.


Fragrances & Perfumes

IIf you‘ve ever enjoyed a particular perfume on someone else and then tried it on yourself, only to be confused when it didn‘t smell the same on you, you‘re not alone. There‘s a scientific basis for the perfume‘s perplexing behavior. While a certain perfume may have the same fragrant notes in it, wearers‘ individual body chemistries can heavily influence how it reacts on the skin. In fact, perfume may smell different on the same person at two different times during the month. Diets can even dictate how perfumes smell and how strongly they linger after initial application. Individuals who favor savory or flavourful dishes may find that their perfume picks up wisps of these scents as they seep through their pores.


Hormones may also have a say in how any perfume behaves. Researchers have found that the usage of perfume that suits your skin and personality often helps in the secretion of hormones that are good for our health and promotes inner self-confidence.


But isn‘t it tiresome work to choose the best men perfume for yourself out of the wide pool of perfumes for men available in the market right now. Don‘t worry we have got you covered here is the list of carefully hand-picked Best Perfume for Men you can pick from as per personalities and style statements.


1. The Playboy


Matt Blanc and Ranveer Singh

This isn't really about the play. It's about power, social status, and using them to generate attraction. So for the playboy, when he walks into any situation, he wants to come off as the alpha – as the man that's in charge. If you come off as in charge, if people are calling you sir, you look like you're in a position of power even if you're not. You have high social status – which means you'll be perceived as more attractive, both to men and especially to women.


Want to feel like the confident Casanova Ricky Bhel or ask anyone ― “How You Doin'?” like Joey Tribbiani from our favorite sitcom 'FRIENDS', then the perfume will help you get popular among the ladies. Fragrances like rosemary, musk, lavender, cardamom, sandalwood, and amber are perfect for a playboy.

But at the end of the day, you not only dress for pleasure, you dress for results.


Adar Poonawala and Ranveer Allahbadia lead this personality in real life like no other. Even if you aspire to be one of them, signature cologne must be your top priority.

3. The Adventure Junkie


Rannvijay Singh and Ranbhir Kapoor

Your streetwear style is perfect — 100% of the time. The layered parkas, distressed denim, jogger pants, snapbacks, and high-tops speak volumes. But you aren't necessarily following trends. You, want an audience and realizes that the street is the modern-day runway. You actually have a separate closet for that embarrassment of sneakers. So it goes without saying that fashion collaborations always catch your attention. Canvas jackets, twill, plaid flannel, and corduroy in natural tones also make regular appearances on your frame, even further weaving the story behind your adventurous treks around town. Musky-wood-based colognes must be your favorite.


Rannvijay Singh‘s real life is that of an adventurer. The street style guy is a risk-taker who pushes the envelope and goes bold with color and casual style. I want to wander the world tirelessly like Bunny from 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' then adding the right perfume can help you get rid of the tiredness. Add few fragrances like – lemon caviar, black pepper, rosewood, leather accord, and mint – to be more impactful.

5. The Passionate Professional


Aamir Khan in Taare Zameen Par

The Ivy League has nothing on you and your double-breasted blazers, precision-pressed khakis, and bucks. However, your waspy sartorial ways aren‘t completely stuck on the collegiate track. You know the ways of the world, and there‘s an inner hipster in you that rears its head in the smallest of details. So, yes, maybe sometimes you are unapologetically wearing an edgy printed T-shirt under that formal jacket — or skipping the polished formal shoes for the trendy sneakers. But your look is all the better for it.


Service personals like teachers, coders, software developers, graphic designers, writers, tutors, and corporate trainers all come under this category. Aamir Khan‘s character Ram Shankar Nikumbh from 'Taare Zameen Par' gives us the perfect example of this personality.


Fresh fragrances with a tinge of exotic spices are a combination to own for this type of personality trait. The powerful notes include oud, patchouli, coriander, cardamom, star fruit, ginger, cedar, and vanilla.

6. The Gentleman


Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor

Here we have a strategic dresser who's clear with his message and very calculated. He's spent a lot of time upfront developing his uniform, crafting his look, and then he's set it on cruise control. A uniform doesn't have to be a suit or a sports jacket. It could be very casual clothing. This gentle soul guy doesn't want to think when he puts his clothing on. He's often very driven and wants to focus on other things, like building a business or growing a non-profit organization.


Saif Ali Khan's character as Rohit in 'Kal Ho Na Ho' or Shahid as Aditya in 'Jab We Met' is a perfect example of this gentle soul personality. Perfumes with notes of pepper, lavender, black vanilla, patchouli, and honey-amber; suits your personality the most.

7. The Jock

Virat Kohli and K.L. Rahul

A sports man's clothing is practical, hardwearing, and masculine. It's made to be functional – to actually stand up to manual labor. - 'Just do it' has always been your mantra — on and off the field. When it comes to your style scoreboard, your sartorial winning streak is going strong when it comes to athleisure and functional fitness wear. So, yes, you‘re a player, but not in the same sense as your Flirt counterparts. Even if you‘re not upping your game by pounding the pavement in tracksuits as your alter-ego running man — you still put on the high-performance gear. Technical sportswear, such as nylon vests, jerseys, and joggers, get mixed with denim and button-downs — and maybe even a blazer on occasion for the ultimate work-play combination.


Being a sporty spunk Virat Kohli and KL Rahul must be your ideal in all terms. Looking at your personality, the cologne that you choose for yourself should be powering, without being overpowering. It must bring about a sense of freshness and rejuvenation. Citrus notes such as lemon and bergamot along with floral scents of violet leaves and tonka bean are a must-have for you.
