For a safe choice, you can consider choosing the scent that men like the most. In general, men like the fragrance of fresh perfume, citrusy, or woody.

2. Select the aroma of your favorite or adjust it to your personality

Anotherfumer, Clement Lavary, said that if you are a woman who already knows the couple's favorite scents, it can be easier to choose the perfume that will be given.

"If you already know a little of his preferences, whether he likes the scent of woody, spicy, or fresh, it will help make the perfume gift feel more personal and meaningful," said Clement.

Another thing that is no less important is to recognize his personality. It is better to choose a perfume that suits his personal style.

When choosing perfume, start from the scent that you think reflects the most about his personality. Also choose a brand that he feels is related or suitable for himself," he added.

3. Pay attention to the quality of the composition

Choosing a perfume is actually to make a person feel confident and increase the impression of his appearance. Thus, the aroma you choose must be what makes him feel comfortable when wearing it.

Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the quality of the composition of the perfume that will be given. For men, they usually like perfumes with wooddy, ambery, leathery, or other warm scents that feel strong and luxurious.

4. Pay attention to your partner's appetite

Another tip that can be tried is to pay attention to the partner's favorite food. This is because a favorite food can affect the aroma that comes out of the body.

"Does he prefer sweet or salty? It affects his body chemistry. Does he drink beer or wine? It also has an effect," said Ben.

If a male couple likes to eat healthy foods, Ben suggests trying perfume with citrusy and fresh characters. If your partner is prone to sweating easily, then choose a deeper aroma like woody or spicy, compared to being too citrusy and fresh.
