***MEN'S MONDAY*** IRONMAN GLORY COLOGNE FROM AVON

HI GUYS,

Here we are back with another edition of MEN'S MONDAY, hope all you men out there are starting your week off right and enjoying the kick off of summer. HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL YOU CANADIAN FELLA'S EVERYWHERE.

Today we are going to be talking about the cologne brought out by Avon called IRONMAN GLORY. This scent comes on strong with that big hit of citrus, then as it warms to the skin you will get that beautiful essence of the icy bergamot and then as it dries down you start to notice the subtle notes of cedarwood playing gently in the background and marrying beautifully with the citrus and bergamot notes.

 
I find this a nice clean scent and it certainly is a great summer active scent. For me this evokes thoughts of the outdoors, pine trees, camping, swimming, warming up by a nighttime camp fire. The only issue I have with this cologne is that you may have to reapply throughout the day, as I personally feel it fades, but for the price you can reapply without worry.
 
To me there is nothing more sexy then a warm summer night and a delicious smelling man to spend it with. Scent plays such a big part in how we ultimately feel around someone. If the person is wearing something irritating you may find yourself wanting to run away or punch them in the face LOL, the last part was a joke.....kind of. However if a man is wearing a cologne that suits him just right that can be a huge turn on and will be sure to score points with the ladies in your company, or men if that's what you prefer;)
 
I am going out on a limb here and being a bit brash. I don't mind a guy who can't wear cologne if he is sensitive to fragrance, that's fine as long as you smell fresh and clean from soap and water. A little bit of manly sweat is ok, but if you have a full on B.O funk, that is so not cool in my books and I think I could comfortably speak for many. On the other hand there is nothing worse then a dirty body wearing cologne, if I smell that I will surely gag. So don't bother wearing cologne if your doing it to mask odor, it's just going to make matters worse.
 
So if your looking for an inexpensive summer time scent then grab yourself a bottle of this lovely amber coloured cologne it's worth the purchase.
 
IF YOU HAVE USED IRONMAN GLORY PLEASE LEAVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS AND TELL ME WHY YOU LOVE IT OR HATE IT
 
I got this for my husband for around $14 CAD
 
The one thing I find is Avon cologne is far better then the ladies perfumes which really struggle in my eyes. Also there is always some excellent offer to be had. So find a rep in your area or you can order on line at

Thanks to those who have embraced my new "MEN'S MONDAY" segment and till next time
 
STAY CLEAN AND FRESH MEN XO

****SPECIAL EDITION MEN'S MONDAY******* AVON BLACK SUEDE ESSENTIAL

 For those of you that don't know I have decided to start a new segment on MakeUp'Asylum called "MEN'S MONDAY."

So for all you gals and guys out there that have a spouse or partner that loves facial care, shaving products and cologne then continue reading because that's what this is all about.

Now a days more and more men are starting to take much better care of their skin and making that a big part of their everyday routines. Also we as spouses and partners appreciate our men smelling just as good as we do, but on a masculine note.
That being said that's why I decided to start touching base on this end of the cosmetic world.

The item I would like to talk about on this very first "Men's Monday" is Avon's BLACK SUEDE ESSENTIAL. There are some names of cologne or perfume that are from Avon the minute you hear it you associate it with old or outdated. However rest assured this new take on an old favorite is sure to please a new audience of consumers.

 
So according to my husband he says he likes this cologne and has no complaints. He feels it has good staying power and the bottle is a nice simple yet masculine design that fits well in the medicine cabinet, which is his preferred place to keep his toiletries. The bottle is quite nice and is a deep rich plum purple glass with a thick plastic cap, but doesn't look cheap.
 
In terms of smell both my husband and I really like this. We have read other reviews about this cologne on "FRAGRANTICA" and totally disagree with people saying that its a weak cologne.
I smell rich tones throughout that is warm, but not to overly spicy which can be choky and irritating. I also smell the blend of lavender and faintly citrus. The scents I notice most is a rich musky leather, which I for one am a big fan of, but I understand that's not for everyone. I find this is a mature scent, but not mature as in old, mature as in just age appropriate for those in their 30's perhaps.
My husband said that he would buy this again because its a practical cologne and you get a lot for how much you pay.
So we got a bogo deal on this, I got my perfume free and this cologne is 100ml and was $20 at the time we purchased it.
 
Just remember when purchasing perfume or cologne when you have sprayed it on to make sure to do so on your pulse points and you don't have to drown yourself in it. We tend to think that because our nose has adjusted and we can't smell it that it means its weak, not true. People around you, standing beside you or in passing can indeed smell what your wearing. I like when I pass someone and catch a whisper of what they are wearing, not being hit by a wall of fragrance which in some cases can be horrible and stomach turning.
 
So in closing we will be using different ratings based on what we are speaking about that day. Today on the SMELL OR METER my husband and I give this a 4 outta 5.
 
So if this cologne sounds good to you contact your local Avon rep today. The reps can sometimes hook you up with a sample to try or look out for great offers and buy yourself a bottle.
 
HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THIS NEW SEGMENT AND FOR ALL YOU MEN OUT THERE STAY TUNED AND...........
 
 
STAY GROOMED
 
AND FOR YOU MARRIED FELLAS REMEMBER "HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE";)
