When I first smelt Ungaro pour L’Homme III on one of my friends, I knew this is a perfume for a man with a loud and heavy profession.

And what other profession could it be rather than a bartender!

Ungaro pour L’Homme III has a complex composition, however, it is a crowd pleaser. As it was released in1993, it gives you an old school vibe.

Zino Davidoff by Davidoff is the first cologne that came into my mind when I was researching for Ungaro pour L’Homme III.

As you can see, the first note is an alcohol, the cologne starts with a bold opening with some floral touch. The darkness of the rose comes later in the dry down and makes the cologne extremely manly. It is heavy on wood as well.

Ungaro pour L’Homme III is a mysterious yet appealing cologne. It lasts for at least 7 to 8 hours.

Bleu de Chanel is among the most popular colognes worldwide. Is there anything else you require to think that a cologne is a must buy for a bartender?

Still, Let me give you a little brief about the cologne for an in depth idea.

Bleu de Chanel begins its trip with a delicious grapefruit punch. This is a mouth-watering start. The lemon subsequently provides the perfect amount of tanginess to the grapefruit.

The pink pepper and ginger give the perfume its spiciness, which is enhanced by the bottle’s blackness.

Santal 33 is a niche fragrance which I fell in love with after I got to try a decant from one of my perfume collector friends. And since that day I started saving money to purchase this gem.

Yes, it is a bit expensive but it is totally worth the money you are paying for owning such a beautiful scent.

Le Labo makes pretty simple but unique bottles with a recite-looking name tag around them.

The fragrance’s most dominating note is sandalwood as the name suggests. With that I get a lot of spice from the papyrus. It is a daring scent.

The florals are creating their magic in the background without coming into the scene. And, in the dry down, it has strong leather.

Wearing Santal 33 is going to give you an outgoing and bold personality that’ll attract the buyers.
