Okay, let’s talk about the “expensive men cologne” thing. I’ve been trying to figure out what makes a cologne smell, you know, “rich.” It’s a weird thing because everyone’s got their own idea of what smells good, right?
So, I started by just looking around online. I saw some articles that were listing the most expensive colognes and all that, but they were not really helpful. Like, okay, they’re expensive, but does that really mean they smell like money? I don’t know.
Then I started to notice some names kept popping up, like Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Amouage. People were saying these brands just have this fancy vibe, like they smell sophisticated. I guess that makes sense. I mean, if a brand has a reputation for being high-end, maybe their colognes are gonna smell high-end too?
- Started by searching online for expensive colognes.
- Noticed names like Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Amouage being called “sophisticated.”
- Thought about trying Dior Sauvage because it’s popular and has a unique, peppery smell.
And then there’s Dior Sauvage. That one’s been huge for a while now. I remember when it first came out in 2015. It’s got this spicy, fresh smell. I think it’s the pepper notes. It’s the kind of smell that you recognize right away.
I decided to get some samples. It’s a good idea to do that, just in case. You don’t wanna spend all that money and then realize you hate it.
First, I tried some of the pricier ones, the ones that people always say smell like a million bucks. I sprayed a bit on my wrist, let it settle, then took a whiff. Honestly, some of them were pretty nice. They had this complex smell, like there were a bunch of different things going on at once. Not bad, not bad at all.
Then I got to the Dior Sauvage. Now, I’ve smelled this on other people before, but it’s different when it’s on your own skin. The peppery notes really stood out to me. I tried to pay attention to how the smell changed over time, it did. From the initial fresh scent to a more smooth smell later on.
After trying a bunch, I had a few favorites. A couple of those expensive ones did smell really good, I can’t lie. But you know what? Dior Sauvage, that one really stuck with me. It’s not just the smell, but the whole feeling it gives off. It’s confident, you know? Like you can take on the world. For the price, I don’t think you can beat it.
So, what’s the conclusion here? Is there a cologne that makes you smell “rich”? Maybe. But I think it’s more about finding something that makes you feel good, something that fits your personality. For me, that might just be Dior Sauvage, even if it’s not the most expensive one out there.
My Final Thoughts
I’ve learned a few things from this whole experiment. First, expensive doesn’t always mean better. Second, it’s worth it to try a bunch of different colognes before you commit to one. And third, the best cologne is the one that makes you feel like your best self. It might take some time and a few sniffs, but it’s worth it in the end. For me, that’s something like Dior Sauvage.
