Cologne topic

I didn't like Pi... the smell just wasn't appealing.

Personally, I wear Black by Kenneth Cole. AMAZING scent. I might buy Reaction by Kenneth Cole as well, once summer comes around... but to be honest, the fruity undertones are... meh.

Versace The Dreamer
Gucci for men in the blue packaging smells like Luzianne Iced Tea
Estee Lauder Pleasures
Versace Blue Jeans
Dolce & Gabbana, lol it smells like a lime slush from Sonic

i've been using Drakkar Noir for as long as I can remember. Good stuff and fairly priced compared to some of the other more expensive colognes.

[Intense]

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy for Men #1.

And yes, axe is lame!

Ok good, I'm not the only one who wears this, lol.

My sister got me the box set one year for christmas that also came with aftershave and deodorant. I used everything but the deodorant. I rather liked it when I had it. :]

I forgot to add that for a long time I also wore Chrome by Azzaro. Im not sure if anyone else had mentioned it, but it smells GREAT.

I have always been partial to Polo Sport. When I was in HS however, I wore Tommy because that's what all the cool kids wore. I also had a bottle of Eddie Bauer Adventurer, which is a nice change up from the Polo Sport.

Pi by Givenchy

This is an excellent scent. Good friend wears it and "You smell so good!" is the first thing women say to him. Solid, masculine undertones, but crisp and clean top notes.

It's called pi, so I like it already. The physicist in me likes pi mesons, and the mathematician (well that part's self explanatory) :D

Seriously, women absolutely love it. Hell it makes me want to sit there and smell myself all day.

Also before that I used curve some which is meh, and abercrombie&fitch woods, which is another one the women love.

I've never bought a bottle of anything else since I first smelled pi like 6 years ago tho.

If you like a particular smell, ask the salesperson what's in it, and start to keep it in mind. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to shop the next time when you can walk up and say "I'd like something with a sandlewood/bergamont/whatever base scent to it" instead of "lol how i shot smelling". If you can't tell I get dragged along whenever any of my guy friends are scent-shopping. Or any of my girlfriends.

OH MY GOD, I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. I don't know why, but that's so goddamned funny right now. fjdksaljf;kdl

I've never understood the use of cologne to attract the opposite sex. You're really just drowning out your own natural scent.

I remember reading in one of my science journals about a mid-sized sample test that concluded using your own urine as a cologne induced the highest amount of attraction.

Weird but apparently effective.

Arousal, or attraction, maybe, scientifically.

"Mmm that guy smells good I think I'll stand here," not so much.

No cologne or sprays for me, I just bathe on a regular basis and use Old Spice Red Zone High Endurance Deodorant in the Fresh, Sport, or in this case Swagger scents. Only way you can smell it is if you are up close, but when you do smell it, its nice. Not too musky, not too light.

Has a very relaxed scent while still retaining a "manliness" about it. Too many colognes for men smell like absolute shit, or that the guy has been walking through flowers all day. If gasoline didn't irritate the skin, I'd wear that as a cologne. :D

Prada Amber
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

I want to get some Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey next.

I remember LoML#1 wearing a cologne that had, I shit you not, tire rubber in it. You know, the kind you drive on. I can't remember what it was called, but it smelled like fresh rubber and baby powder. Weird, but very distinctive.

Also, I heart this thread.

You should try it yourself and tell me how that goes.

(To be fair, I do remember seeing something on TV before about how athletes in the Roman empire sold their sweat as fragrances or aphrodisiacs.)

I always use Fresh or Sport. I've never heard of Swagger x.x

I wear Aqua di Gio and Polo Blue when I want to smell nice, and I have a huge bottle of Polo Sport I wear otherwise that has lasted me for 7 years now. I have to admit that I want to try Abercrombie just because it smells so goddamn good every time I walk by their store, but I've got a personal vendetta against them so I refuse to. Makes me swoon when guys wear it though.

This probably sounds like a silly thing to be picky about, I mean this isn't purchasing a car, but your olfactory system is the MOST powerful in your repertoire. Remember what colour your gran's eyes are? No? I bet you know exactly how she smells. Having a personal, appropriate 'signature' scent is more important than I have words.

This is truth incarnate, and proven by science. The right scent will move a guy at least 2 points higher on the 1-10 scale, in my opinion. Conversely, if you look like an 8 but you smell like rotting sweat, you're not really an 8 anymore.

My fiance wears Issey Miaki, its his favorite. He always smells so nice. I got him some Usher for Christmas, but he can't get away from the Issey Miaki.

My favorite perfume for me is Heavenly by Victoria Secret. I also like Cool Water for women.

I don't want my fiance wearing Drakkar. Its the only cologne that my father will wear.

Ugh, the smell of burnt rubber, while completely manly, would make me beyond nauseous. I used to like Paul Sebastian cologne as it was very oils-based, but then they watered it down. I also like the Dior Fahrenheit 32, and the Gucci Envy is rather nice as well.

Oh, and have you heard about the new perfume/cologne that is being made from human sperm? Eau de Jizz...

[Serif]

Burberry

[Soprano]

Aqua di Gio
Farenheit
Hugo

3 of my fav's out of like the 15 bottles that I have.

Farenheit drives the ladies crazy in clubs, or so I've been told, cuz it can't be my horrid dancing while drunk.
