What is your favorite mens cologne?

My present location in S.E.Asia has presented me with some challenges in the body odor area. Due to me being close to the equator, and living in a tropical climate, coupled with the New diet of spicey asian food, namely Brianni rice which is made with lots of Ghee oil, I find that while my body becomes acclimated to the changes, i am in need of auxillary Aromas to be applied to my body , so as to make me socially acceptable. Back in the day, I bought "Givenchy-Gentleman" cologne- which is not available now. I prefer an oil base as opposed to a flowery smell, and recently purchased a "White Musk" that is working out fairly well. it is subtle in its delivery..burns clean, and doesnt leave a nasty after effect. Open to suggestion.. whats your favorite??

Diesel fuel, burnt gunpowder, gin and scotch all smell good to me.

Who or what is you audience you plan to appeal to? Get their opinion. Each fragrance smells different. In my case, women loved KC Obsession on me. Hence, I wear it.

I second the Diesel (bioD preferably) and gunpowder! My 10/22 always make me smell GOOD!

Seriously, my girl likes me to have something 'sandalwoody' I am still looking for what SHE likes best.

Classic!

Whatever the Mrs. buys me, I really couldn't tell you. And even though I'm older and she is less drunker, she did get me a couple cans of Axe for every day use. I think one is green and one is blue.

I like Speed Stick regular. If I'm feeling frisky, I put some Speed Stick Sport. I can really tear it up then.
