The sense of smell can also stir up strong feelings. One researcher found that people’s opinions of a scent can change based on where it is worn.

This means that if you associate a scent with a good memory, it will make you feel better whenever you wear it and make you think good thoughts.

But what about delving into the realms of the senses and emotions? It’s the same as changing your clothes. So, here are some of the greatest scents for men for various occasions.

When the air is cooler, gourmand and sensuous scents like honey, vanilla, or chocolate perform better.

Depending on the occasion, your scent choice may alter. If you’re heading out with pals after a long day at work, choose a nostalgic scent like vanilla, coffee, or chocolate.
