What's with Celebrity endorsed cologne ?

This is one way to cash in on one's notoriety if your are a athlete or and entertainer endorsement are a way to make money while your hot and a little after your fire has burned out. One of the first to the embark on the cologne flavor that i know of is Joe Namath "Broadway Joe" New York Jets quarterback of the 1970's . Brut cologne was his pic and later Old spice now Joe was a pic man he didn't involve himself with any designer scents he just read what was on the script and was done with it. But times have changed most that pic these products today want more name recognition and ownership there are two entertainers that have caught my nose.
The new cologne by Sean John which is name I AM KING is for men who care about themselves and believe in themselves is sold exclusively a Macy's this cologne
is a positive affirmation for all men who view themselves as a king even if it only in there own house and while feeding the ego of men who
buy it this is a petty good marketing strategy. But is this cologne and good?
Well this is Sean "Puffy" John second Cologne in three (3) years the first was
called Unforgivable which made a reasonable impact. However this time Sean
"Puffy" John had collaborated with Estee Lauder Cosmetic and the International
Flavours and Fragrances (IFF) some of the ingredients look like stuff you drink and some are not digestible the true test can only be with your own body chemistry. But with Estee Lauder at the helm i really don't believe you can go wrong with this cologne .

Curtis Jackson known as 50 Cent the Brooklyn rap artist will present his first cologne created in cooperation with Lighthouse Beauty. The name of the cologne is called Power by 50 Cent, and 50 Cent himself participated in it's design. The cologne will arrive on sale exclusively at Macy's in autumn 50 Cent Cologne title Power by 50

He has also put together another sponsorship deal with Right Guard for a new body spray called “Pure 50" version of RGX Body spray. This advertising will be sponsor by the The Dial Corp., owners of Right Guard.

Jermaine Dupri is another hip-hop artist has enter the field with a body spray
called TAG Body Spray which is also the same name as his newly
formed record company TAG Records . Pure 50 is expected to be
on the market in the coming months.

Marketing is the key if i became famous for any reason i probably could design a cologne but will it sell just because of my fame or be cause you were sold on it. This is a double edge sword but only you and i Joe public has the last word on that .

Same cologne two different people

Here's one thing worth while knowing and that is every cologne smells different on different men. The way a scent reacts to your body and your skin is a question of chemistry, and has to do with the chemical reaction between you and the particular fragrance. While your friend smells great in the latest Armani men's cologne, it could make you smell more or less flattering depending on what you eat or drink will create your own personal aroma that's why many men's cologne have such of a robust aroma to counter every man's own body chemistry.

There are many men's colognes on the market today what makes one better than
the other. All are marketed with style and grace in an attempt to make the so
called common man feel that everyone can walk tall and smell great if he user's
there Cologne.

Most men wear cologne for one reason you know what that is
....women yes the
lady's that's why i wear it. When a women ask a man what's
that he's wearing
that means one thing she's tracking his scent and that's a
good thing. I
guess that's why Cologne has been the man's first line of attack
when
seeking out the opposite sex.

How some cologne's are made ?

Step 1 Add perfumer's alcohol to a mixing bottle about 5 teaspoons use a eyedropper to place the oils in the following amounts one drop at a time into the bottle containing the alcohol. Begin by adding 9 drops of grape seed oil to the bottle. Add six drops of sandalwood . Place 5 drops of patchouli oil and 3 drops of allspice oil to the bottle. Mix the essential oils and the alcohol until they have been evenly fused together.
Step 2 Allow the mixture of the bottle to sit for 48 hours in a location away out of direct lighting at room temperature

Step 3 Add 1 cup of distilled water to the bottle. Stir slowly for up to two minutes to completely infuse the water. Place the bottle in a dark cool area for a minimum of 23 days and wait for the cologne to develop.
Step 4. Line a strainer to filter out any particles than pour it into a colored glass bottle. Slowly pour the cologne into the bottle allowing the cologne to flow through the filter freely. Any sediment that may have been formed in the bottle will gather at the bottom and will be filter out leaving you with pure cologne. Presto you have just made your first bottle of cologne. The over all aroma of a cologne is dependent on the amount of fragrant oils, alcohol and water combined in the blend. Each blend will smell different and the amount of essential oil is critical. A single drop too much, or too little, will change the characteristic of the cologne entirely.
