Colognes are made up of alcohol, water, and perfume oil. Each cologne has a varying level of each component. This is what determines a cologne’s strength.

The intermediate strengths are eau de toilette, which has 4%-15% perfume oil, and eau de parfum, which has 10%-20% perfume oil. Vera Wang Men is 4% to 15% of perfume oil.

In 1983, Michael Edwards created a system for classifying fragrances called the Fragrance Wheel. According to this classification system, there are fourteen different Families. Vera Wang Fragrance is part of the Woody Oriental Family. The foremost notes of sandalwood and patchouli are characteristic of fragrances classified as Woody Oriental.

Each Family defined in the Fragrance Wheel is divided into four more subcategories identified as Fresh, Crisp, Classical, and Rich. These divisions relate to different intensities of the dominant fragrance notes associated with each Family. These intensities are like the differences between Soprano (Fresh), Alto (Crisp), Tenor (Classical), and Bass (Rich). Vera Wang Cologne belongs to the Fresh interpretation of the Woody Oriental Family.

Each fragrance goes through three different stages which are called Top, Middle, and Base Notes. These stages are due to the different fading rates of all the Fragrance Notes within a fragrance’s composition. Therefore, during the length of Vera Wang for Men’s life, certain phases will have a slightly different smell depending on which fragrance notes are still present, and which ones have already faded.

Top Notes is the first smell a perfume gives off when put to the skin. Top Notes last around 10 to 20 minutes. The Top Notes for Vera Wang for Men consist of Mandarin Leaf and Yuzu.

Middle Notes are the most prevalent, and last for almost the entirety of the fragrance’s life. The Middle Notes for Vera Wang Fragrance consist of Nutmeg, Leather, and Anise.

The Base Notes for Vera Wang Cologne are Sandalwood and Tobacco. They consist of the longest lasting qualities of a perfume and help to slow down the evaporation of the lighter notes.

If you like the smell of Vera Wang, you would possibly like other fragrances that belong to the Woody Oriental Family. A few suggestions are Lacoste Elegance for Men, H.M. by Hanae Mori, Stetson for Men, Herrera for Men by Carolina Herrera, and Lagerfeld Classic by Lagerfeld.

All perfumes and colognes can be classified into one of fourteen different Families according to the Fragrance Wheel. The Fragrance Wheel is a classification system, which was created by Michael Edwards in 1983. Paco XS is a member of the Aromatic Family. What separates this Family from the others is its more distinctive use of lavender and aromatic herbs.

There are four more subdivisions within each Fragrance Family. These subdivisions are called Fresh, Crisp, Classical, and Rich. Fresh is the brightest and highest interpretation of the Family, and Rich is the deepest and richest interpretation. Paco Rabbane XS is part of the Fresh interpretation of the Aromatic Family.

The life of every fragrance progresses through three stages. They are referred to as Top Notes, Middle Notes, and Base Notes. These stages are a result of the varying levels of volatility of the Fragrance Notes that make up a fragrance. In other words, some fragrance ingredients in XS Pour Homme will evaporate faster than others, therefore producing different impressions at certain stages of its life on the skin.

Top Notes are the initial impact a perfume gives when applied to the skin, and lasts about 10 to 20 minutes. The Top Notes for XS Paco are Rosemary, Mandarin Orange, Tarragon, Mint, Bergamot and Lemon.

Middle Notes are the most dominant, and usually last for the majority of the perfume’s life. The Middle Notes for Paco XS are Coriander, Juniper, Sage, Bourbon Geranium, and Brazilian Rosewood.

The Base Notes for Paco Rabbane XS include Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, Musk, and Sandalwood. They are the longest lasting qualities of a fragrance and help to slow down the evaporation of the lighter notes.
