I'm suppose to do a blog entry on how to choose cologne but i think i'll skip all the details and go straight to the point... Most important rule:
- Spray ONE on yourself and walk around for at least half hour and smell it every 5 min. If you like it after that long, it's probably something you can consider getting.
Things to take note:
- Strength of the cologne
- Longevity
- Changes in the smell from top, middle and bass note.
Here is the REAL reason why i have this entry.. My mom paid for a new cologne for my birthday!! So breathe it all in you lucky people when i start to use it next sem. Here are the reviews of all the colognes I have so far.
Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine. Rating: 7.5/10
-Smells fantastically heavenly great

-New birthday present
-Hope my skin will adapt to it and make it last longer and smell stronger
Hugo Boss Pure. Rating: 9/10
-Best Woody and executive smell
-Used to its longevity sucks until i got the Bvlgari

Features an abstract- floral digital artwork drawn by me in photoshop. This layout is appropriate for all genders. The grandiose design is laid freely on a simple canvas and they complement each other pretty well. The sudden gradient change is applied to create one contrasting element. I created a 3D effect on the vines and they seem to jut out of the yellow canvas.
Why the name? The design, as you can see, is abstract and it gives a double-vision feel, therefore, Esophoria, a tendency to squint your eyes inward to create a double vision.
