In today's modern world true essences of plants have been replaced with synthetics and chemicals in men's cologne, shaving, and skin care products. These synthetic fragrances are found to cause, trigger, and exacerbate health conditions. Read more about the effects of synthetic fragrances here and the effects of pthalates here. And while these fragrances are affecting you directly they are also affecting those around you, the very ones you are trying to attract. All the more reason why you should make the switch to natural fragrances to enhance your manly magnetism.
In my previous post Beat the Blues and Smell Great Too I wrote about using essential oils as a perfume and the added benefits of these aromatics helping to beat the blues. The combination of essential oils that I offered are somewhat feminine and I thought that maybe some of my male readers would like some suggestions for replacing their current men's cologne to a natural fragrance - essential oils.
Keep in mind guys that just because they are essential oils doesn't mean they can't be manly - The added benefits to using essential oils as a cologne or after shave is that these oils are good for your health and good for your skin.
Here are some suggestions, in no particular order, that I have gathered from other Young Living distributors:
To use these oils as a cologne or after shave you can either use a couple of drops of oil straight or add them to a few drops of carrier oil such as V-6 Oil or Sweet Almond Oil

Order Essential Oils to Use as Natural Men's Colognes Here....
Maybe you are looking to replace your shaving cream. Here is a recipe from a distributor using a foam dispenser:
Take an empty foamy bottle (a used Thieves Foaming Hand Soap Dispenser works great), add Young Living Bath and Shower Gel Base to about ¼ of the bottle, stir in desired amount (10-20 drops should do) of masculine, skin loving, essential oils such as Sandalwood, Frankincense or Helichrysum. You can use a bamboo skewer to gently stir in the oils (it takes a few minutes to incorporate them)
Fill the rest of the bottle about ¾ full with distilled water. Replace the cap and shake hard several times until water and bath gel base incorporate. Allow to settle for an hour or so, then add the rest of the distilled water and stir gently. This lasts a long time and the scented foam is very gentle and soothing for the skin.
If you need any help ordering these oils or if you have any questions please let me know. Contact me and I'd be happy to help you!
Yours in Scentsible Wellness,
