Why Essential Oils for Men?
Before we get into our top picks, let’s answer why Essential Oils are a good choice for men’s fragrances. While synthetic scents are made artificially, essential oils derive from natural aromatics that provide a natural, healthier, and more versatile aromatic experience. They smell good, yes, but they offer a range of therapeutic benefits: stress relief, and different levels of energy boosting depending on what you’re smoking. Plus, you can wear essential oils by themselves or blended to create your signature scent that changes throughout your day.
Personal Insight: I remember that my friend was introduced to the fragrances of essential oil. In all his 20 years of wearing cologne, he had always stayed on mainstream sights until I gave him an HBNO Cedarwood Essential Oil. The woodsy natural aroma sold him on the scent instantly, and now it’s his daily go-to scent.
The Adventurer: Bold and Earthy
If you are a thrill seeker or outdoor enthusiast, bold, earthy scents like cedarwood, pine, and sandalwood essential oils will be a perfect match! This strength and grounded energy gives these fragrances exudes of strength and energy of nature.
