Is your male perfume not giving that punch you’re looking for in a fragrance? There may be a reason for that. 

Often, it comes down to the concentration of the fragrance oils. Eau de toilette, for example, often has a lighter scent than eau de parfum because of the difference in their fragrance concentration. How you apply your fragrance matters, too – spraying or dabbing your fragrance on the right pulse points can make all the difference.

These are just a few examples of why your fragrance isn’t hitting the way you prefer, no matter if you’re wearing a men’s niche perfume or a more unisex fragrance. That gets in the way of your personal expression, and at WHO IS ELIJAH, we believe you deserve better than that.

Each of our signature fragrances is designed so you can curate your narrative without rules, all through the power of a men’s perfume that matches your personality. Here are some reasons why your fragrance isn’t matching your vibe and why it might be time to make the switch to a WHO IS ELIJAH fragrance.

Reason #1: Some male perfume formulas have lower fragrance oil concentrations.

Some male fragrances have lower fragrance oil concentrations, resulting in a lighter scent when worn. Because of this, they’re less overwhelming and more versatile for daily wear.

For instance, eau de toilettes (colognes) and body spray fragrances are typically less concentrated than eau de parfums (perfumes), giving them lighter or more subtle scent profiles in comparison. However, many top masculine colognes today are bucking this trend to deliver premium quality and long-lasting men’s perfume experiences.

At WHO IS ELIJAH, our fragrances are made to stick with you from your first morning coffee to your late-night plans. Each signature scent is formulated to hold onto special moments without needing a re-spray every hour. With WHO IS ELIJAH, one spray is all it takes to leave a lasting impression.

Reason #2: You’re choosing a scent that’s fresh and subtle – and that’s not always a bad thing.

Overpowering scents have a time and place, especially when you want to make a truly striking first impression. While most men’s scents, such as options from a perfume winter collection, can grab immediate attention, sometimes the choice of a more dominant scent might not be the right call across the board. 

A strong men’s cologne with woody notes is great for a significant event where you want all eyes – and noses – on you. 

But in everyday settings? A gentler or more subtle men’s cologne may feel more approachable and less intrusive. A lighter men’s fragrance lets you signal a quiet confidence that draws people in, lending to a more personal interaction in intimate settings.

At WHO IS ELIJAH, we craft each genderless and minimalist scent to evoke intimate and personal moments with every spritz. With 15 unique signature scents to choose from, including musky fragrances and breezy citrus-fresh notes, we have something for every occasion – whether it’s a night out with your sweetheart or a whirlwind holiday with your squad.

Reason #3: How you apply fragrances and your skin chemistry could be affecting its strength.

How you apply your male perfume can change how strong it smells and how long it lasts. This is true for even the best perfume for women, too.

Spraying male perfume on your clothes or into the air might seem easy, but it doesn’t let the scent get in touch with your skin’s warmth, so it might not diffuse as well. 

If you ask us, the best way is to spritz your male perfume right onto your pulse points, like your wrists or neck. These spots give off heat, which helps the fragrance come to life and stick with you longer. It blends with your natural scent and makes it feel more personal.

Things like weather and humidity can also change the way your scent smells. If you’re wondering why your earthy fragrances seem lighter during cold weather, this would be why.

In warm weather, your body heat boosts the scent and could strengthen it since the fragrance evaporates faster. But in colder months, it may fade quicker and might not stand out as much because there’s not as much heat to diffuse it. Knowing how the seasons affect your perfume helps you wear it more cleverly throughout the year.

Some male perfume scents are best for play, and some are better suited for work – but at WHO IS ELIJAH, you don’t have to worry about clashing fragrances as you move throughout your day. You can effortlessly mix and match our fragrances to create your own men’s fragrance sampler sets, all the better to suit different times of the year or even the day. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the different types of men’s fragrances, and how do they differ?

Men’s fragrances are typically categorised based on scent notes. 

These include citrusy, woody, floral, musky, and earthy fragrances, each setting the tone with dominant characteristics. WHO IS ELIJAH offers these fragrance notes along with more, with our DISCOVERY SET allowing exploration of 13 unique fragrances.

What are the key fragrance notes in men’s colognes?

Men’s colognes and male perfume scents feature a rich tapestry of fragrance notes. 

Woody scents like sandalwood and cedar evoke warmth and elegance, while spicy notes such as cinnamon and cardamom offer a dynamic blend of heat and aroma. Don’t discount floral notes, either; scents like lavender or rose can add intimate layers to your style.

At WHO IS ELIJAH, our 15 signature unisex scents cater to anyone eager to express themselves uniquely, regardless of traditional gender roles.

How do I choose the right men’s fragrance for my lifestyle?

Choosing the right male perfume scent involves considering scent longevity and strength. 

Lighter scents are great for casual settings because they’re refreshing and won’t overpower, while stronger scents are more appropriate for formal events or cold climates where there needs to be more presence.
