How to choose a men's perfume

EDP vs EDT: eau de parfum (EDP) has a higher concentration and lasts longer than eau de toilette (EDT) — most picks above are EDPs. Notes: fresh/citrus and aquatic scents suit India's heat and daytime; woody, oud and spicy scents shine in the evening and winter. Longevity: apply on pulse points (neck, wrists) and on clothing for staying power. When in doubt, a versatile fresh-woody scent like the Bella Vita CEO Man is the safest crowd-pleaser.
