Modern men’s aromas often play in another’s territory. Women actively use man’s flower colognes. Adhering to the position that “smells do not have sexual accessory”, we all the same recommend men to use “men’s” aromas.
So, what aromas did our fathers and grand fathers prefer? Of course, these were Pour Monsieur (Chanel, 1955), leather cologne Aramis (Aramis, 1965), green cologn Polo (Ralph Lauren, 1978), wooden-leather Yatagan (Caron, 1976), wood balafre (Lancome). The classics can justify it without the massed advertising - in fact at that time creation of each aroma took 3-5 years! And there were fewer restrictions on use of components - both ecological, and financial. Therefore the aromas were quite strong and rather courageous. Fashion has significantly changed since those times, but classics Antaeus (Chanel, 1981) or Quorum (Puig, 1982) and even One Man Show (Bogart, 1980) is still popular.
Honey Paco Rabanne pour homme (1973), lavender-anisic Azzaro pour homme (1978), hairy and brawny Jules and Kouros (Yves Saint-Laurent, 1980-1981) - any of them as is difficult for mixing with female aroma, as a unshaven cheek of the man with a gentle neck of the girl. Herbal Tuscany (Aramis, 1985) and Ungaro pour homme (1991) are aromas with the character. Not a tie, not a fresh-washed shirt and cuff links from Cartier - and secondary sexual attributes and skill to hold the shot. The only requirement is to be a man.
Armani pour homme (1984) or Eau Sauvage (Dior, 1966) is less requiring to the character of the owner. Sports and fresh character of colognes will approach not only to boxers and fighters of fights without rules, but also to chess players. Classics Signoricci 2 (Ricci, 1976) or Eau de Guerlain (1974), as well as Trophee (Lancome) is a universal aroma for any occasion.

It is amazing, but it is not always necessary to follow the standard fashionable canons in order to be fashionable. Sometimes it is enough to have own unique style, even if it revolts and shocks others. British star Amy Winehouse, who will soon become the face of the well-known mark Roberto Cavalli proves this theory.
As it became known from official sources, 24-year-old singer Amy Winehouse, who has become triumpher at fifty years’ ceremony, having received 5 Grammy awards, will soon go to the Tuscan castle of the guru of Italian fashion Roberto Cavalli to sign the contract which assumes rather favorable conditions for the British star.
Under the agreement, Amy Winehouse will be given free of charge clothes from the well-known designer and the singer should appear in the given clothes on public, showing love to ingenious designer.
It is surprising, that Cavalli is ready to conclude the contract with singer for all life that once again proves draft of the designer to unusual and scandalous people. It is necessary to note, that the Italian maestro became far not to the first one, who has been charmed by non-standard singer, whose artistic glory is often eclipsed with glory of her drug-alcoholic adventures.

You will try many different cocktails and you will be surprised with new aromatic combinations. In aroma the same fresh vegetative greens, with addition of typical Indian spices, are felt. Citron start is replaced by uncertain sweet and ginger water.
This aroma cannot make dizzy. After visiting cocktail-bar Un Jardin apres la Mousson would be desirable to add impression with easy dizziness. And here we should get a fair bottle of red Barolo or white Albarino, or to take some Laphroaig.
The bottle is, as always, smart and asks. The characteristic form for a series with the rounded sides is painted with transition from deep dark blue in light green - reminding about a sea theme.

New addition family Allure Homme Chanel (Eau de Toilette Concentree) - is a white and concentrated variant. The fourth variation on theme Allure Homme has recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. The newborn edition - is a compliment parents: brand Chanel, aroma Allure Homme and the genius of perfumer Jacque Polge. Any imitation or reminiscence - is barefaced flattery to vital force and potentiality of the original.
Jacques Polge is a regular perfumer of Chanel Homme.
This aroma is an independent perfumery work of art. Allure Homme Edition Blanche - is not a “fresh sea breeze above uninhabited atolls of Fiji”, but it is a fresh cologne, which has kept the main traditions of the French perfumery.
In the description of aromas Allure Jacque Polge uses four sides instead of more habitual three layers: fresh, wood, spicy and east notes. Aroma shows provisional stability, office character and the constrained loop. It is like an analogue of a fresh white shirt. For Chanel white color is a color of the blinding sun and real simplicity.
Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche Eau de Toilette Concentree (Jacques Polge, 2008). Bergamot, lemon, zinziber, cedar, sandal tree, pink pepper, musk, vanilla.

Ancient Romans knew how to receive oil of citrus, how to tincture fragrant plants on vine and olive oil. And well-known Roman baths offered tens aromas for body care: a citrus, marjoram, musk, citronella, laurels, cassia, rose and cinnamon.

Long time to the Roja Dove was the person, who terrorized great perfumery houses with requests to revive their legendary aromas of the past. Especially for him and his perfumery boutique Urban Retreats (the fifth floor of department store Harrods in London) aromas Le Dix and Quadrille (Balenciaga), Coeur-Joie (Nina Ricci) is being once again let out.
Dove has achieved exclusive contracts on deliveries of Diorling and Diorama from Dior, En Avion, Coup de Fouet and other aromas from Caron, Ombre Rose from Jean-Charles Brosseau, which can be found only under the order in flagman boutiques in Paris. He has even managed to order the limited series of crystal bottles from Lalique. Last year Dove realized his knowledge, received during his work at Guerlain, in four own aromas.
Aroma Unspoken - is one of these four aromas. Flower aromas, protecting positions of elegance before the person of the fruit-flower epidemic, which have amazed the perfumery industry last years. In one of the interviews the designer has explained that he considers that east aromas are created for temptation. They tease, as decollete, color of lipstick and high heels, giving no promises -you feel just confidence and definiteness.
The green and is bitter-sweet beginning reminds a smell in flower shop. Just imagine thick stalks of white chrysanthemums. We go further - the flower smell becomes more sweet, fruit and sharp: dark rose seems more vigorous and sharp because of zinziber, and jasmine, on the contrary, ordinary fruit. It looks like flower shop passes into apartment of the mistress, who has both charm, and elegance.
Unspoken Roja Dove (Roja Dove, 2007). Bergamot, neroli oil, rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, zinziber, an oak moss, sandal tree, patchouli plant, vanilla, citrus, balsam notes.
