Having discussed some of the best men’s perfumes for workplace, let’s have a look at a few common queries by buyers regarding fragrances.
IS IT APPROPRIATE TO WEAR PERFUME AT WORK?
Although many offices are now having protocols for wearing fragrances to work due to medical conditions of employees. So, if your office has a clear cut policy of no-perfume-at-work, then you have to make the best use of your body lotions and body mists.
A safe bet is to avoid overpowering, strong and pungent scents during office hours. Not only for the sake of people around you with any medical conditions, but also to keep yourself looking professional. Moreover, it is pretty understandable that a mysterious, flirty scent with strong notes is more suitable for after-work hours.
WHAT KIND OF FRAGRANCES INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK?
Normally, juicy and citrusy fragrances are said to be uplifting your mood and boost productivity at work. Fragrances with notes of Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, Jasmine are said to elevate your mood and mind alertness.
Indeed, a clean and fresh scent will work as energy booster, while being pleasant to your co-workers (or people around you) as well.
WHAT ARE EAU DE PARFUM (EDP) AND EAU DE TOILETTE (EDT) ?
Eau de Parfum (EDP) is more concentrated than Eau de toilette (EDT), hence lasts longer than that. It is generally considered to be used for ‘night wear’. However, there is no hard and fast rule. You can easily use the EDP for day time, keeping in mind that the scent is not too prominent that it makes it feel ‘out of the place’. I usually use my favorite EDPs in day time because of the benefit of not having to re-apply them often. You can easily get a 4-5 hours of wear time with an EDP.
Eau de toilette (EDT), which is literally translated as toilet water, is lightly scented and used as a skin freshener. It is usually applied directly to the skin. It contains a lower percentage of fragrant essential oils than eau de parfum, hence is generally considered to be used for ‘day wear’. EDTs usually last for a good 3 hours. The price point of EDTs is usually lower than EDPs.
