It is a very common gift for men, especially fathers who enjoy wearing cologne or aftershave. Due to personal preference and powerful or varying scents, picking the right cologne can be tricky. Not to mention, most commercial <strong>colognes<\/strong> contain synthetic fragrances, which can include carcinogens, respiratory irritants, environmental toxins, and more harmful substances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making your own cologne with all-natural essential oils ensures a product that you can use safely and confidently. Don\u2019t worry, because essential oil colognes will not make you smell awful, or like you just stepped out of a wild animal\u2019s cave. In fact, the cologne recipes in this article may help you smell like freedom, the wild, and volcanos. Well, to each their own regarding the scents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Cologne Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is helpful to understand a few notes before you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-best-essential-oil-blends-for-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mix up your essential oil blends<\/a>. You need to understand fragrance notes, which are divided into three classes: top, middle, and base. The top note is the first scent you notice after application, but it is also the quickest to fade. That leaves you with the next lasting scent, the middle class. Finally, the bass class is the scent that lasts the longest. A general formula is 10-15% for the top note, 25-30% for the middle note, and 55-65% for the base note. You can adjust the ratios any way you please, but that is simply a suggested starting place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nightlife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting ready to have a night on the town?
