Recommended for perfume beginners! A beginner's guide to men's perfume

Entering the world of perfume may seem a little intimidating at first. In particular, when it comes to choosing men's perfume, there are many options depending on the occasion and personality, so many people may not know where to start. However, perfume is an item that subtly adds elegance to your daily life. Here, we will introduce carefully selected scents from brands other than Show Layered that are easy to use even for perfume beginners and have a high level of appeal.


1. Bulgari Pour Homme

If you are picking up a perfume for the first time, a simple and refreshing scent is a safe choice. Bvlgari Pour Homme is a well-balanced fragrance that combines a fresh citrus scent with a woody depth. It gives a light and refreshing impression and is easy to use in any situation. It is versatile and can be used in both business and private situations.


I think the scent that is relatively close to Show Layered is Olive Vodka.




2. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Pour Homme

In the world of perfume, it is impossible to leave out the masterpieces that have been loved for many years. Acqua di Gio is characterized by a fresh scent that makes you feel like you are in the Mediterranean sea breeze. Citrus top notes such as bergamot and neroli are accented with herbal rosemary, achieving both a clean and refreshing feeling. It has a relaxing feeling and is easy to use in the office or in casual situations.

Although the scents are different, the vibe is relatively similar to fresh pear and hibiscus.



3. Dior Sauvage

Dior Sauvage is recommended for beginners who are looking for a "masculine" look. The fresh top note of bergamot is combined with the slightly smoky and mineral scent of ambroxan, creating an exquisite match of strength and freshness. Although it has a slightly edgy scent, it is easy to use and is perfect for both daily use and formal occasions.

I think the scent that's relatively similar to Show Layered is Mysterious Mix.



4. Chanel Bleu de Chanel

For perfume beginners, a perfume that can be used anywhere is a very welcome thing. Chanel's Bleu de Chanel is characterized by its refreshing citrus notes and calming woody notes. It can be used in a wide range of situations, from casual to formal, and also gives a slightly sexy impression. It is a perfume that you can choose with confidence as your first one.

Although the scents are different, the atmosphere is relatively similar to 1945 Black.





5. Ralph Lauren Polo Blue

If you want to give a sporty and refreshing impression, we recommend Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren. The fresh scent of melon and basil spreads first, giving you an immediate feeling of coolness. Although it has a refreshing impression, the base notes have a deep woody flavor and a strong presence. This is a product that is particularly useful in casual situations.

Although the scents are different, the atmosphere is relatively similar to 1945 Light Orange.





Conclusion

Using perfume is one way to subtly emphasize your own style and impression. If you are a beginner, it is best to start with a light, refreshing scent and gradually find a scent that suits your taste and the occasion. Once you take that first step, you will surely be captivated by the profound world of perfume.
