Building a Perfume Collection for the Modern Man: A Scent-sational Journey

In this modern-day era, perfumes for men have become more than just a scent. It is the very extension of the person who wears it. Any self-respecting, perfume-wearing gentleman knows they have to have a collection of scents that can take them through every occasion and every season.

But how do you build a sensational perfume collection? Here is a guide to building the perfect scent collection.

Uncovering Your Preferences

This is a good place to start. What do you like? And by that, we mean what smells do you love experiencing during the day. Do you like cigar smoke? Does the smell of leather tickle your fancy? Do you like to lie down in a pile of freshly laundered clothes, or are freshly baked goods more your thing? 

Perfumes can bottle up your favorite scent, add some extra magic to it, and give you the ability to walk around smelling like what you love.

Lifestyle and Scent Projection

Besides loving how you smell, what do you want your scent to say about you to the outside world? If you are a power player then maybe choose a scent that says you are in charge and powerful. Are you an on-the-go artist? Choose something energetic and refreshing. Scent speaks for you before you even open your mouth, so consider what you want the world to know about you!

Introducing Dossier: A Legacy of Excellence

In the perfume world, one of the most exciting, diverse and innovative industries is a perfume brand named Dossier. There is no brand quite like Dossier on the market today, with a laundry list of scents inspired by high-end luxury fragrances and their unbeatable price point! Let us look at why this is the place to go to build a men’s perfume collection!

• Budget-friendly: Building an entire perfume collection from scratch can come at one heck of a cost. This is where Dossier comes in clutch. Between their super reasonable prices and corresponding quality, it is easy to build a respectable scent collection. They take some popular scents from well-known luxury brands, research the ingredients, and give you a similar product that smells just as great while giving you more bang for your buck! They are all about the quality. Just because these scents have a cheaper price point does not mean they skimp out on quality. 
• Versatile: Also, Dossier’s collection is super versatile, with a large scent collection that covers every scent family, every note combination, and perfume for any season and occasion. Imagine dupes of every powerhouse luxury perfume brand thrown under one umbrella and ready for you to pick from!
• Innovative: Dossier has undoubtedly been a boon to perfume-loving men seeking out great scents on a budget; the brand has made an even larger impact on the fragrance scene as a whole. Dossier is blowing up the fragrance game! The brand is paving the way for guys looking to break into the notoriously snobby and expensive world of perfumery.

In a day and age where personal style and individuality take precedence, Dossier has become man’s go-to wingman in creating a fragrance collection all his own; one that speaks to who he is and expresses his own distinctiveness. 

Navigating the Scent Families

Any self-respecting perfume collector knows that building a scent collection is about knowing what is in said perfume. This helps give direction to the scent collection building process and plays to what you actually like. Thus, if you are getting into your very own fragrance collecting, here is a rundown of scent families and a Dossier example that encapsulates that scent family!

• Floral Fragrances: This scent is all about capturing the scent of flowers and putting them in a bottle. It is to make you feel like you are walking in a field of roses all day long. Now, this may not be seen as the more typical choice for a man. But this could not be further from the truth. It is a delicate, soft, and romantic scent that is gentle on the nose but still powerful enough to draw people in. Example: Aromatic Star Anise.
• Woody Fragrances: This scent family perfectly matches the rugged rough and tumble man who loves adventure! If you were to picture what, say, Bear Grylls smells like, this would probably be it. This scent is all about adventure and the great outdoors. For instance, the Woody Ginger.
• Amber Fragrances: This scent is a spicy scent that is both seductive and deliciously warm. This is certainly a scent that will announce a man’s arrival even before they steps into a room and linger on long after they are gone. Want to make an impression? Then go for something in the amber family. Take the Golden Rum & Amber fragrance, for example.
• Fresh Fragrances: If you are the kind of man who is or wants to seem more breezy and easygoing, then this is the scent family that you must take home.  It is the kind of scent family that brings the refreshing qualities of citrus and the ocean, making the wearer a fresh and enticing magnet. Example: Aquatic Lime.

Perfume Tips and Tricks for the Discerning Gentleman

While you pick a scent to elevate your collection, there are a few tips and tricks you need to know. Master these, and people will swarm you like ants on honey:

• Wear Testing is Key: Always go for a day-long trial run before you spend money on a fragrance. The way a fragrance straight from the bottle smells is different from when it has been on the body for a whole day. 
• Applying on Clean Skin: Here is the thing: dirty skin and scent do not match. For a fragrance to do its best work, it must be unencumbered by dirt, sweat, and debris. So lather on some shower gel and throw in some exfoliation to give your scent its best chance.
• Layering for Depth: Layering is a time-honored tradition in the scent world, and for good reason. Start with a softly scented body wash or body polish. Then slather on a softly scented lotion, and finally, put on your perfume. Your perfume will stick with you all day with this nifty trick!
• Exploring Musk and Oud: There is just something about oud and musk that has kept them a staple in the perfume-making world. They have the magical ability to deepen every scent and can be just as great on their own. You can use either one of these scents after your lotion and before your perfume.
• Embrace Experimentation: Discovering what you like perfume-wise is all about experimenting and trying out everything the scent world has to offer! So try out as many scents as you would like, and take this opportunity to mix and match stuff from different scent families. And you just might find a scent combination that will distinguish you from the rest!
