Kenneth Cole Makes Perfume For Women

I have a small collection of Kenneth Cole shoes and absolutely love them. They are high quality, well made shoes, and I just learned that Kenneth Cole also makes a perfume for women called Kenneth Cole Perfume. I am ordering it. Unlike the shoes, it is priced within my budget. Kenneth Cole shoes are so expensive but this perfume is moderately priced. The description of it sounds like I would like it. The scent of this perfume for women is a combination of fruity smells and spices along with a whiff of leather. It sounds like an interesting perfume for women, so I look forward to getting it and trying it out. I found it online and did some research on forums and blogs, and the users of this perfume for women all seem to like it. It's not a big investment on my part, so I feel good about ordering it online where I will get a decent discount. Shopping online is my favorite way to buy things, because of the convenience and the good prices

Men's Cologne For The Working Man

I believe a men's cologne is the signature of the user.
My husband works out in the heat of the Arizona sun. He does not let the nature of his work reflect in his clothing or upkeep. Every morning, though he is dressed in jeans, his appearance is fresh and crisp. He usually chooses a button down shirt. When my husband kisses me good-bye I taste a clean mouth and smell his men's cologne.
My father worked in an office. He too, took great care in his appearance. I remember my Dad would polish his work shoes the old fashioned way, with the tin of polish and a brush to buff them and make 'em shine. As a little girl I would enjoy watching the process and spending time with my father. A big part of my memory includes his men's cologne. To this day when I smell that scent I smile and think fondly of my Dad.
My brother is an accountant. There are times when he meets with a particular client that he must put on a full suit and tie. I must say he cleans up well and makes a suit look pretty darn good. The subtle aroma of his men's cologne is the finishing touch
