Cologne: which do you prefer or use
 

ill start off.. currently in my bathroom resides a half full bottle of Ferrari Black.. it has a very casual scent to it, not attacking the senses but slowly emerging and letting the one smelling enjoy it.. i paid 90$ for the bottle.. i use it sparingly. i really like Ferrari Red.. it has like a well aged wood smell to it and is more of a business colgne rather than a casual like Black.. i need to get a new colgne..

My mom sells mary kay, so I use the domain stuff

I like it, my ex liked it... yeah

does your mom drive a light pink automobile

I like and Currently use Davidoff Cool Water. Its in a blue bottle.

I also really like Burberry for men and Polo blue for men. Give them all a try if they suite your senses

I'm not a cologne user. In fact I bathe with unscented soap. I do use deodorant, usually Old Spice.

When I fuel up my diesels and spill a little on my hand, I kind of like the residual odor. This may help explain why I'm perpetually single.

Browsing an automotive forum and seeing a thread asking for cologne preferences: PRICELESS

Escada Sentiment.

Subtle, unique, a little spicy, and very cool and refreshing.

"a fresh sensual fragrance with a lush blend of jackfruit, green lime, juniper, spices and warm woods."

I also use it in my cars after I have cleaned out the interior. :)

Just remember, the olfactory sense fatigues more quickly than the other senses -- meaning you get used to smells and don't notice them as much as at first. That's why people who really stink don't seem to mind it.

I'm always running into people who use way, way, too much cologne or perfume. Guys less often, but it happens. A couple of times while driving cab, I'd pick up a lady who had so much perfume on, I had to struggle not to put my head out the window to breathe. Them windows were open, I'll tell you what.

Check out some essential oils. I like lavender oil. Just the barest dab and you're there. Good price too.

Hey, we're modern men here, secure in our manhood. :builder2: :ladysman:

old spice...occasionally. i like the smell and the little jingle.

i once tried to buy some at l s ayres. the lady kindof turned up her nose and suggested i check at k mart.

i thought all right, it will be inexpensive! guess i am a low brow.

Money. I rub it all over my nekkid body.

Okay, I'm dreaming. I'm married, I have no money.

That's why I use gin!

I don't use it.

Smellin' clean is all you need.

Damn!

Only occasionally though

I hardly believe that, you have the most expensive gin around...now get in there and make me a martini honey.. swirled not shaken. just a splash of vermouth..

Gentlemen: I have been known to speed up my walk to work just to keep up with the man in front of me cause he smells so good. The lingering after affects of a cologne are known as "silage." 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.

They have "Red" and "Black?"
 

That's wild. Like Johnny Walker, huh? I like Brooks Brothers cologne pretty well. Also Bobby Jones. Paco Rabanne.

I do get alot of girls so my two cologne choices are: Liz Claiborne SPORT and Salvatore Ferragamo (sp.). :D

how about a little more Sportscenter
and a little less Will and Grace

Exactly.

Envy by Gucci

Well I guess i won't start the "Mistress Heather's Pleasure Thread" then...

I smell so damned good naturally, I don't need the stuff! It's amazing what a daily shower can do! ;)

But seriously... I just can't stand the smell of most colognes and perfumes.... Gives me a headache. Especially the cheap stuff. Almost all of it smells like isopropyl alcohol to me... Perhaps my nose is just really sensitive to that particular odor for some reason, but it makes me unable to tolerate cologne and perfume most of the time.

The only exceptions are some of the REALLY expensive scents... The ones that actually have enough potent flower/herbal/musk/whatever ingredients to overcome the smell of the alcohol base....

But since I think it is completely ridiculous to pay such an absurd price for such a small quantity of product... I remain cologne-free.

Additionally, many folks who wear cologne or perfume tend to use FAR too much! You can smell them coming form 50 yards away! So annoying. A LITTLE goes a long way, people!... I disagree with cmac's earlier post... I find that men, rather than women, seem to be particularly likely to pour it on excessively. Dunno why... Insecurity, maybe?...

Mike -- you been sneaking into my cubicle at work? :grin: The lady next to me wears FAR too much cheap perfume. She'll saunter in for the day and I swear to God I can smell her within ten seconds (over a 6' cubicle wall, no less). NASTY. She's a smoker and ex-smoker of the wacky tobbacy, among other things, so I suspect her olfactory senses are just shot.

Me too. Just pull my finger and I can parfum a whole boudoir.

Remember Patchouli oil?
 

I loved the smell of Patchouli oil. The sense of smell is actually one of the most powerful when it comes to evoking certain moods. It's also pretty good for bringing back memories.

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.

Ah, smells we like!

I like the smell of a woman's hair, she held close and warm.

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.

...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...

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

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?

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:

mike

Yep...can you imagine a rest home for aging, smelly, dirty hippies? Oy vey!!!

Take a cold shower....

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.
