Choosing the Right Woody or Earthy Scent

Selecting a cologne is a personal journey, and it's important to choose a fragrance that aligns with your taste. Woody and earthy colognes can range from warm and spicy to fresh and robust. Consider the following factors when making your choice:

• Fragrance Notes: Woody and earthy colognes often feature a combination of base notes such as sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver, and musk. These notes are typically complemented by middle notes like spices, leather, and amber. Top notes can include citrus, herbs, or peppery scents.
• Occasion: Think about the occasions when you'll be wearing the cologne. For a versatile option, choose a cologne with a balanced blend of woody and fresh notes. If you're looking for something more distinctive, you can opt for a spicier or muskier scent.
• Personal Preference: Ultimately, choose a cologne that you personally enjoy. Fragrance is subjective, so trust your instincts and select a scent that resonates with you.

• Hold the bottle 3-6 inches away from your body when spraying to avoid over or under-application.
• Target warmer areas of the body, such as pulse points, the inner elbows, and the neck. These areas help project the scent and allow it to blend with your body's natural chemistry.

With Ulta Beauty's wide range of woody and earthy colognes, you're sure to find a scent that suits your personality and leaves a lasting impression. Remember to choose a fragrance that resonates with you and apply it correctly to make the most of your chosen scent.

It contains a mixture of citrus oils, including lemon, orange, tangerine, clementine, bergamot, lime, grapefruit, blood orange, bitter orange, and neroli. It can also contain oils of lavender, rosemary, thyme, oregano, petitgrain (orange leaf), jasmine, olive, oleaster, and tobacco.

How to apply

Applying cologne is an art, and when done right, it can make your fragrance last longer and smell better. Here's how to apply cologne the right way:

Timing is Everything

Apply cologne immediately after showering. Your pores are more open after a shower, which helps the scent absorb deeper into your skin.

Distance is Key

Hold the bottle 3-6 inches away from your skin. Spraying too close may lead to over-application, and spraying from too far may result in under-application.

Target the Right Areas

Apply cologne to your pulse points, which are the warmer areas of your body, such as the inner elbows, neck, chest, wrist, lower jaw, forearm, and shoulder. These areas help project the scent and allow it to blend with your body's unique chemistry.

Re-apply Strategically

Re-spray only when needed. You can add more sprays to your wrists or adjust the number of sprays depending on how long the scent lasts.

Avoid Common Mistakes

• Do not rub your wrists together after applying cologne, as this can damage the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
• Do not spray cologne into the air and walk through it, as most of the fragrance will be wasted.
• Avoid spraying cologne on your clothes, as it may stain them and prevent the fragrance from mixing with your natural body oils.

Enhance with Moisturizer

Applying cologne to moisturized skin can help lock in the scent, making it last longer. Use an unscented moisturizer to avoid interfering with the cologne's fragrance.

Be Mindful of Quantity

Remember, less is more. Fragrance should be discovered, not announced. People should be able to smell your cologne without being overpowered by it.

Store it Right

To extend the lifespan of your cologne, store it in a cool, dark, and dry place, like your bedroom. Rapid heat fluctuations and sunlight can cause the fragrance molecules to break apart. Ensure the bottle is securely capped to prevent evaporation.
