The Dos & Don'ts of Guy Scents
Tips for buying a fragrance he - and you - will love. Originally from the Valentine Day February guide provided by Sephora's Jessica Hanson.

DO snoop around. Find out what kind of scent he already has (woodsy, fresh or spicy) and stick with that category when you go shopping.
DON'T get celeb-happy... unless you're sure he's a fan. Words of wisdom from a real guy: "We don't want a cologne with a picture of some famous guy we can't stand."
DO match scents. If there's a certain perfume he loves on you, he'll probably like the male version, too.
DON'T hesitate to try it. Wear his fragrance alone or layer it over your lightweight floral.
