Men's Cosmetics - Popular and Best
It was not so long ago that men would not admit to wearing cosmetics. They might wear a little deodorant or cologne, even eau de toilette, but not cosmetics. However, the rise of the metrosexual has made the term "mens cosmetics" quite acceptable.

In fact, some men cosmetics are for both men and women, such as the very popular Tend Skin for Men and Women. But most are intended for men only.

Which mens cosmetics are the best? Of course, it is all a matter of personal preference. There is no definitive answer.

But Giorgio Armani's Acqua Di Gio men cologne is certainly one of the most popular. Check out the Amazon.com page for this product and you will find, as of this writing, more than 85 customer reviews, most of them favorable.

Many of these reviews are rather gushing tributes that talk about how sexy the product is. But some make quite a good effort to explain its appeal.

Here are some examples:

* The scent is light and pleasant but still smells like a man should smell.

* Its the kind of fragrance that subtly exudes masculinity rather than clubs people over the head with it.

* A mysterious, tantalizing aroma. Faint notes of citrus blended with a masculine "woodsy" scent create a fragrance of which I never tire.

* Overall the scent is mild, masculine, and draws on Asian and Middle Eastern inspiration (citrus, jasmine, sandalwood-ish, and aquatics).

* It's just the right blend of floral, fruity and musky notes to create an aroma that is pleasing for men to wear. And as a woman, I can vouch for its pleasant effect on my olfactory senses.

Here is the composition:

Top Notes : Florals/ Citrus - Jasmine, Rosemary, Hespiridic (citrusy)
Middle Notes: Fruity, fresh - Persimmon Fruits, Marine Notes
Base Notes: Woodsy, Musky - Cedar, Patchouli, White Musk, Rock Rose

The overall effect is not too overpowering, and the transition between notes is subtle. It's a fragrance that lends itself well to daytime wear as well as evening wear. I find it a very well balanced perfume that hits just the right notes and works very nicely for the "metro" man.


Other popular men cosmetics include Eternity for Men and Cool Water from Davidoff.    

Check out Amazon.com for men's cosmetics discount prices, sometimes more than 60 per cent below the retail price.
