The perfume company behind these Design Your Own Fragrance For Men kits has many years' experience in designing scents and fragrances.

Let us explain a little bit more about blends.

When it comes to the best perfumes for men, it's all about three layers of 'notes'. The most popular base notes for a masculine scent are wood, moss and amber. Then the top notes preferred by men include citrusy aromas with geranium, bergamot and violet leaf all featuring. But the key to a bespoke men's fragrance is the middle note, referred to as the heart of the scent. This gives longevity and balance to your male cologne and includes fresh, cool seashore-inspired tones such as neroli and tonic sport.

Your male perfume kit includes six carefully chosen blends to reflect all these notes. Then, it's up to you just how you mix the blends and what quantities - and it's this process that creates your very own bespoke fragrance for men. A perfumer's role is a bit like a mixologist of the aromas, as you trial and test your combinations, until you get arrive at the one that's just right for you.
