Humans has been using fragrance since the early years to mask the bad smell emanating from their body. They have been using perfume made of natural and man made materials on their clothes or their bodies. When someone criticizes your body odor, there can be no greater insult than this. But there is no better compliment than being told that you smell good. These are the reasons that inspired me to write this post for you. This post will specifically talk about perfumes and the best perfume for men in India.
Liquid perfume is a combination of water, alcohol, and molecules that evaporate at room temperature. What you smell are floating molecules that have scent. There is a special type of cell (sensory cell) in your nose that identifies floating aromatic molecules and sends electrical messages to the brain only when you are really able to enjoy the scent.
Perfumes come in different strengths and different aroma. It is the strength of perfume that determines how long your body will smell. And, it is the aroma of the perfume that decides whether you will find special attraction among friends or not. Choosing the best perfume for you is like walking on a narrow wall.I have prepared a list of the best perfume for men in India to ease your stress, which you will definitely like.

Perfume Type
Perfume comes in different strengths, this means that how long the perfume will last will depend on its strength.The most important part of the perfume is its oil or fragrance concentration. Perfume oil is extracted by pressing or steaming a fruit or plant or flower. The concentration of fragrance refers to the strength of the perfume. On the basis of strength, we classify perfumes into five groups. They are parfum, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de cologne, and eau fraiche.
Fragrance Strength (Perfume Intensity)
- Parfum (Perfume) (last 6-8 hrs)
- Eau de Parfum (EDP) (last 4-5 hrs)
- Eau de Toilette (EDT)( last 2-3 hrs)
- Eau de Cologne (EDC) (last upto 2 hrs)
- Eau Fraiche (EF) (last 1-2 hrs)
Parfum(Perfume)
Parfum is a pure form of perfume that has the highest fragrance concentration. Parfum has fragrance of up to 40% and most perfumes have a concentration between 20–30%. The Parfum lasts for 6 to 8 hours, it is the longest lasting scent of all. Parfum comes at the highest price due to the highest concentration of fragrance than all other types of fragrance. People with sensitive skin are less likely to dry out the skin after using parfum because it contains very little alcohol
Eau de Parfum (EDP)
Eau de Parfum has the highest concentration of fragrance after Parfum. It has an aromatic content anywhere between 15-20%. EDP maintains its fragrance for 5 hours. EDP is cheaper than the Parfum because it has higher alcohol content than the Parfum.You can use it with sensitive skin. EDP is better than other fragrance types except the parfum.
Eau de Toilette (EDT)
Another most well-known type of fragrance available worldwide is EDT which has an fragrance concentration anywhere from 5–15%. EDT scent usually lasts for two to three hours. Some consider the EDT suitable for daytime wear while some consider EDP as suitable for night wear.
Eau de Cologne (EDC)
The concentration of fragrance in EDC is lower than all types of scent mentioned so far. Because of lower fragrance concentration. Clogan is one of the diluted scent as it has concentrations of 2–5%. Cologne has been brought in the market for male use exclusively. But, for some days now some cologne perfume has been brought for the female as well. Since it has low concentrations which not only makes them a very light product but also cheaper. But its smell can last up to 2 hours.
Eau Fraiche (EF)
The last category of fragrance type is Eau Fraiche(EF) which is the cheapest. It is cheaper than all fragrances because EF has less oil concentration. EF barely contains essential oil between 1-3%. So its smell lasts for hardly 1-2 hours.

If you do not know the different types of fragrance notes, then it becomes very difficult for you to choose a good scent.It is very helpful for you to know the fragrance family before deciding to buy a good perfume that suits your personality, and to be able to make an impression in public.The Fragrance family (Scent family) is mainly classified into four groups.
