I'm a Aqua Velva man. I have been for many years, and I got lots of women.

I think most men know what the bottle looks like, so I won't post a picture.

She's a smoker and ex-smoker of the wacky tobbacy, among other things, so I suspect her olfactory senses are just shot.

...if someone sparked up a doobie, she could smell it in nanoseconds. It's all relative.:)

...can't you smell that smell...oak tree your in my way...one helluva a price to get your kicks...

A few of my favorites: Dracar, Brooks Brothers, British Sterling, Paco Raban, and my all time favorite Gray Flannel by Geoffrey Beene. If cost is a factor use E-bay I have been known to save close to 100.00 on a bottle real perfume using e-bay.

I might have to rethink my aversion to the stuff. ;)

Sometimes I can walk outside on a spring day and the air will have this certain smell to it. Brings back the memory of a day when I was only about four years old. Nothing else can do that for me.

I think cologne and stuff like that jus hast a clean smell about it. Besides, my lady likes it. Nuff said.

I have mixed feelings about Patchouli oil. Most of the hippies I ran into that used it went overboard -- same ol', same ol'. Still, it does evoke memories. Moderation is the key in that stuff maybe more than anything else.

OK, here's a blast from the past...

What cologne do you wear?

BENZ-LGB 07-15-2006 11:05 AM

I have strong allergies. I am especially vulnerable to strong, chemical odors...call it my kryptonite :eek:

I wouldn't mind it people wore discreet perfumes and only enough of it for themselves (and close, intimate friends) to enjoy. I just hate the yahoos and olfactorily deprived morons (men or women) who splash enough cologne and/or perfume to be detected a mile away. They are like walking stink bombs. I would almost prefer bad b.o. over loud perfumes.

It is like playing music so loud that it can be heard miles away. What the hell makes some people think that the rest of us want to smell their their cheap, slutty-floozy-whorish colognes and/or perfumes.

Other than that, I have no problem with perfumes and/or colognes.

Generally speaking women have a better sense of smell than we guys do. That is why they do not tend to splash it on as much as guys do.

Also, women have been taught (???) to dab a little on wrists, maybe on a couple of other places.

We guys seem to operate on the principle that if one (of anything) is good, then 2 or 3 is even better...hence the overspray syndrome

Whoeee!
 
How I love it when I discover those sweet smells in some of those "other" places on a woman. It reminds me of when I used to think that girls sweated perfume. I still love it when my woman indulges that fantasy.

Hippies have given patchouli oil a bad rep.

Patchouli itself smells kind of nice... It's the mixture of patchouli oil with armpits and sweaty Deadhead-a$$ that ruins it for everyone.

Patchouli doesn't stink. Hippies do.

:eek:

I used to work at a indy euro repair shop years ago, and they let me keep my old '72 VW Westfalia camper in the back lot. Every couple of weeks a hippie dude or dudette would wander into the office and ask me if I wanted to sell the camper, and more than one mentioned they were living in the woods behind the shop. They all looked well fed, slightly baked, and very smelly. :D

When I bought the bus, I had to de-roach it, if you know what I mean.

Someday, I'm going to weld some 55 gallon drums together into pontons, and mount the bus on two of them. I think it will make a cool houseboat, painted olive drab green.
