How to Choose a Perfume Gift for Him
- Not sure what he likes? Go fresh. Fresh, citrusy or aquatic scents like Acqua Di Gio, Y, or Bleu de Chanel are the safest picks and work well in Philippine weather.
- Check what he already wears. Peek at his dresser. If he wears something fresh, stay fresh. If he likes sweet or spicy, try 1 Million or Eros.
- EDT vs EDP: Eau de Parfum (EDP) is usually more concentrated and lasts longer than Eau de Toilette (EDT). EDTs feel lighter, which many people prefer in hot weather.
- Think about where he'll wear it. Office and daytime call for lighter scents; parties and dates can handle something warmer and sweeter.
