Topman Grooming Range - How to Wear Fragrance

Topman is set to launch a grooming range scheduled for release on the 22nd September. The initial launch will see 2 fragrances debut numbered 16 & 27, taking on a day and night feel to keep you fresh throughout the day. With this The Grooming Guide have put together some tips on how to wear fragrance and the DO's and DONT's when doing so. Check them out below...

DON’T apply fragrance to the face, particularly if it’s an Eau de Toilette as its high oil content will cause irritation.

DON’T ever apply a fragrance directly onto your clothing because not only will it not develop properly, you also risk damaging your favourite shirt, tie etc.

DON’T overload yourself. Your nose will adapt to your chosen smell and make it seem less potent. Also be aware of the words ‘intense’ and ’concentrate’ when connected with a fragrance, and approach these with caution.

DO layer up. If you have a favourite fragrance invest in the multiple products from the same range (shave foam, balm, deodorant etc). Many body products are over fragranced, and sticking to one fragrance will prevent you from wearing a heady cocktail of competing smells.

DO spray onto a freshly bathed (and dried) body.

DO apply in the right areas. Get to know your pulse points (wrists and neck). It is these places where the blood flows closer to the surface that will unlock the power of your fragrance.

Xbox Competition Winner Gaming Night

Last night we headed for the Personal Shopping space in our Oxford Circus store, where we had our ultimate gaming night take place for our Xbox competition winner. The winner of the competition was James Daly who best described why him and his friends are brothers to the end. Here is his entry:

'My friends Marcus, Joe and Mason are the best friends a guy could ever hope for. We have been through thick and thin together, never doubting one another. We've survived long journeys, going to separate universities, interfering girlfriend's, and so much more. They show exemplary character in many situations, always doing the right thing. We helped Marcus get a job when he was low on money. We consoled Joe when he lost someone special. We were there for Mason when a girl broke his heart, and they rescued me when I was stranded in another country. We will stand together until the end, no matter how bitter that may be. We are, and will always be, brothers in arms.'

With this excellent answer James won a £250 shopping spree, whilst him and his friends won the opportunity to play Gears of War 3 over a month before release and an Xbox each! Quite the prize.
