Cologne recommendations

[stephfromMIT]

I've always worn Old Spice. Getting kinda sick of it, any suggestions?

[~ocean]

look into all CK's for men .. if u wear mens cologns

[CharmingButch25]

Davidof ecko, avatar, Adidas, nautica, aeropostale store brand

[stephfromMIT]

look into all CK's for men .. if u wear mens cologns

Thanks. I'm an exclusively men's cologne kind of butch.

[clay]

Diesel....(I wear it when it is given to me...:)...)

[tara_kerrie]

Axe has some body spray that smells good. I like Polo and Adidas also.

[stephfromMIT]

2 votes for adidas so far. keep it coming!

[stonebutchinpa]

CK1, Axe, Tim McGraw cologne, Adidas. I like a clean sporty smell. Good luck with your search

[SleepyButch]

I recently purchased Calvin Klein Euphoria and I really like the smell on me more than from the bottle. Go try on a variety and see what smells best on you. Have your gal help you as well.. they are always the best when it comes to making that decision.

[stephfromMIT]

I think adidas or CK sound great. Thanks all.

[Corkey]

Older guy here who likes a citrus scent
Here is a site that has something for every gender bender on the spectrum.

Enjoy! BTW welcome to the Planet.:hangloose:

[Teddybear]

Well I have so many DIFFERENT cologones its hard to really hard to pick just 1. I think variety is better then sticking to just 1. I pick depending upon the occasion

[stephfromMIT]

Corkey-Newport looks up my alley.

[Nerdboi]

I really like Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme or Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Fragrance Notes: lemon, orange, lavender, sage, cedar and tobacco.

This cologne is classy and has been used by a few of my gay male friends and has been femme approved :).

[Corkey]

Corkey-Newport looks up my alley.

Newport is a fresh scent light and not in ones face. Good choice.
I personally use Number Six. Washington used this.
Here's a hint, get the sampler box it has several scents and you can pick n choose which is right for your body chemistry.
There is plenty in the samplers to get a good read.

[Toph]

i might suggest one of the following
Preferred Stock by Coty
Swiss Army by Victorinox

i've had 'good luck' with both of those products

[LaneyDoll]

I am soooooo picky when it comes to men's fragrance; but here are my suggestions...

~Image By Cerruti (you cannot go wrong with this, I recommended it a lot & have NEVER been wrong on it)
~Set Sail St. Barts for Men Tommy Bahama (in the blue bottle)
~Tommy Bahama Classic (the brown bottle)

Riley wears something that is so freakin' yummy but I cannot remember the name of it though.

:sparklyheart:

[Blaze]

Hmmm, this is how I shop, I have my favorites... But I usually take a stroll around the men's Cologne counter, I will walk and do the test sample papers, but it's usually just walk through, and a certain scent will stop me dead in my track. I stop, spray it on or splash it on. I take a little walk around looking at other things and if it still smells as good as it did when it stopped me in my tracks, it's mine! And the even better hint is if it stops others in their track when you walk by...
I tend to like the Oriental spicy, Musks, Neroli, Bergamot. Cleaner fresh scents.
So I love Lucky Number 6, I also love Fahrenheit and it's always has been one that I go back to.

[-Red-Flag-]

Right now for me CK Euphoria ..

also, cool waters as well..

[Toughy]

make sure you do not wear competing scents.........soap, deodorant. lotion, cologne...........

never ever should your scent enter the room before you...the idea is for her to get a 'whiff' of you and for that whiff to entice her to come closer

[stephfromMIT]

I recently purchased Calvin Klein Euphoria and I really like the smell on me more than from the bottle. Go try on a variety and see what smells best on you. Have your gal help you as well.. they are always the best when it comes to making that decision.

Sleepy-You're right that Amanda should come help me.

[ruffryder]

I' get Axe. Just try a variety, see what appeals to you.

I Also have a few colognes from Avon - Wild Country, Urban Edge which is McDreamys, Derek Jeters Driven BlACK, RPM Intense, and Iron Man

Avon runs specials all the time and can get B1G1 or Buy One Get One Half. They also have bodywash, soaps, and aftershave.

Fierce by Abercrombie and Fitch

[DapperButch]

Versace (for men)

One spray, walk through it.

I have never tried Cool Waters (Red Falg's choice), but have a friend who wears it and I really like the scent.

[Electrocell]

Versace (for men)

One spray, walk through it.

I have never tried Cool Waters (Red Falg's choice), but have a friend who wears it and I really like the scent.

Cool Water smells pretty good at least on me. Course so does musk. Someone gave me Tim Mcgraw not sure I like that smell on me.

[DapperButch]

Also, go into a store, spray one cologne on one wrist, one on the other. Walk around store. Check scents 20 minutes later. That will tell you what both will end up smelling like on you.

[Corkey]

What smells great on me may smell atrocious on another. Do your homework, Toughys right don't mix to match, it usually ends up a hot mess.

Perfumers have for hundreds if not a few thousand years lived with the scents, the process hasn't changed much in all this time. Skin chemistry plays an important part in what will be pleasant as opposed to smelling like a wet dog. Take your time, and experience them til you find your olfactory match.
Have fun and definitely get your S/O involved.

[RockOn]

I use Davidoff's Cool Water.

I have recently become acquainted with getting whiffs of women's LAMB cologne on a certain femme.
O-h y-e-a.
O-h y-e-a.

And her LAMB cologne is great too!

... just walking the dawg ... ;)

Fierce by Abercrombie and Fitch

cK1

Those are the only 2 I ever use..Fierce even gets the guys attention when they ask me what cologne I am wearing.I figure its a compliment

[RockOn]

*laughing*
I see I double posted. This cell phone is a real kick in the pants. This blooper is minor when comparing with some others.
:)

[The Oopster]

I like the scented lotions of bath and body works signature collection. They still sometimes make me sneezy but they aren't as strong as a spray on cologne

[ruffryder]

yeah twilight woods for men is a good one from B&BW.

[Glenn]

I'm an Armani maniac. Been wearing it for years. I also have Cartier and Polo Sport. Coolwater smells pretty good too. Don't ever buy cologne at Walmart. 95% is crap or cheap-ass knockoffs...ewww... I also heard EbAy dilutes. I agree, take someone with you to a store, and walk around. Old Spice deoderant with Head and Shoulders shampoo smells good coming out of the shower too. I think Axe is awful. With colognes, you get what you pay for. And yeah..keep them out of the light, they come in those boxes for a reason.

[AlexHunter]

I wear (and therefore highly recommend) Armani Mania, Obsession, and Burberry.

Fierce by A&F is also pretty nice, though I prefer the others I just mentioned.

[ruffryder]

L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE (http://www.loccitane.com/a-true-story,29,1,2270,106327.htm) has some great fragrances for guys too made from natural ingredients of wood, juniper, extracts, spices and essential oils. I enjoy Verbena and the soaps.

[tonaderspeisung]

polo explorer
dirty english
hugo

for the warm season i like
adidas team force
john varvatos vintage

i keep
avon's tai winds (mallard decanter only)
in reserve for all my special occasions

[Mrs Arcstriker]

Here are my favorites...

Versace (men's), Acqua Di Gio, Tuscany Per Uomo (my favorite!), Eternity For Men, Ralph Lauren Silver, Euphoria Men (Calvin Klein), Calvin Klein MAN, Leau D'Issey Pour Homme, Soul (by Curve), Halston

[macele]

i like Axe shampoo. it seems to stay around longer.

and Happy by Clinique.

and to love for, High Maintenance laundry detergent. you don't need cologne/perfume when you use this. promise to goodness. great stuff! you'll never be the same lol.

[Dyke619]

Acqua Di Gio

[Medusa]

IMO Acqua Di Gio is by far the BEST scent out there!

I fell in love with it so much that I made it my primary scent about 10 years ago. YES, I wear Men's cologne. YES, I love it. YES, I love to smell it on other people of any gender.

People are routinely shocked when they go on and on about how I smell so wonderful when I tell them I wear men's cologne. Whatever. I like the clean freshly-showered smell with a hint of citrus.

FAVE!

[Medusa]

And Jackhammer wears Everlast or Givenchy Pi and both are wonderful!

[apretty]

now I know why you give me a boner.

[femmennoir]

Eau Sauvage, Dior...my favourite!

Elle*

[spiritfemme7]

omg, anything by armani (really hot!), burberry, dolce and gabbana, ralph rauren! a butch wearing that, i am putty in their hands lmao!!!!

[stephfromMIT]

Guess I need to get myself some Armani.

[Medusa]

now I know why you give me a boner.

Lies! It's my Daddy-glare and hand-written porn!!

[deathbypoem]

Im such a cologne whore its ridiculous. I really enjoy the woodsy, musky and spicy scents in cologne like veviter, bergamot, citrus, lavender, black suede,



Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male-Kenneth Cole Black, Dolce and Gabanna light blue- Curve in the Green Bottle-

[lilapache]

Drakkar... cool waters... black suede... english leather... i have many that i think smell so good on guys

[EnderD_503]

I wear cologne like twice a year, but when I do it's Adidas Deep Energy. It's really cheap too if you're also not into buying expensive shit, lol. I think it cost like 15 bucks or something like that. And...well...I think it smells good! Basically, if you've ever smelled the deodorant or body wash it's the same thing but a bit more subtle.

Otherwise I wear Axe Phoenix body spray everyday as a deodorant. I just like the smell and its pretty much the same thing as cologne, imo, except its more useful and doubles as deo :D

[Scuba]

Abercrombie/Fitch Fierce...I get a lot of compliments when I have that on :)

[butchjules]

I've worn Polo for years and it drives the girls nuts!

[Leigh]

Drakkar Noir - love that stuff :)

[PapiChino]

My favorites are Kenneth Cole Black, Armani Code, and Gucci Guilty for Men.

mmmmmm they make me want to spend a little time alone with myself.

(f)

[Gráinne]

I'll second Kenneth Cole Black and Armani Code-for me! Another men's cologne wearer here.

[Toughy]

you should be in the room at least one minute before your cologne arrives......\

less is better in ALL cases...........

[Toughy]

[Jesse]

I like Acqua Di Gio too. Some other colognes I like are, Armani Attitude, and Halston Z-14

[MsTinkerbelly]

less is better in ALL cases...........

AMEN!!!:hangloose:

[Tony]

Well, I admit to being a cologne whore. I'd leave the house without my pants before going without cologne. Lol. My mood, where I'm going, what I'm doing dictates the scent of the day.

Dolce Gabanna
Gucci
Armani
Aramis
Opium for Men
Obsession for Men
Kenneth Cole
Realm
Jovan Aex Appeal
Halston
(to name a few. Lol)

And of course if a lady has a certain request, I'm more than happy to oblige.

[Blaze]

Let's see, I usually wear Lucky number 6, but at the reunion, I dug out my stuff I usually use only on special occasions and this year, Kenneth Cole R.S.V.P. seemed to do me some justice. So it's time to start investing in Mr. K. Cole's colognes again, and cut down on only buying his clothing line...

[ruffryder]

What scent are you? Take the quiz!

http://www.menshealth.com/grooming/personality-quiz



I am Outdoor Adventure

You’re not the type to enjoy wearing a tie to an office job. You might not even own a tie. A brisk scent smells even better with grass under your feet and sun on your shoulders.


Time for me to change my scent. I'm gonna have to read this thread see what is suggested. I need something that smells real good and is a little pricey. I enjoy going into Macys, Nordstroms and trying on new scents. haha.

[TheMerryFairy]

I have worn Armani and David Beckham once or twice. Beckham was a hit for New years. I usually wear perfume but it was a nice change to go with my tie.

[SleepyButch]

The two that I've been wearing lately are Both Calvin Klein... Aqua and Euphoria... I love them both.

Mine is:

Fresh Green


You’re more apt to enjoy a sunny stroll in the park than a fast-paced night out in the city. Your scent is equally down to earth.

[JustBeingMe]

Be aware that when you are looking for a new cologne, that not everyone smells the same when wearing the same cologne. So always try it on yourself before purchasing.

Me, I love wearing CK1 and the women I've been around love how it smells on me. I love the way it smells on me as well.

[JinxieB]

Polo, Axe, Cool Waters, I also like Happy by Clinique... B&BW have some really good smells...their Oak is pretty good

[KCBUTCH]

MY DAILY SCENT- CLEAN AND CONFIDENT

[MsM]

My boy wears different ones depending on the season.

Right now:

Very Sexy for Him by VS
Polo Sport

Summer:
Cool water
tommy something

I don't mind which she wears but she always sprays the blanket she gave me with the Very Sexy before she leaves after a trip. I *love* the smell of it when I'm sleeping and it surrounds me.

[oksoftbutch]

I like Curve for men. :thumbsup:

[Duchess]

Issey Miyake Pour Homme....It's not brand new or trendy, but the ultimate in SEXY!!!:awww:

[jcisbutch]

i wear Ralph Lauren Polo Sport or Clinique Happy for Men...both clean scents

[DapperButch]

Versace for men

[PaPa]

I recently splurged BIG time and bought myself some Creed Silver Mountain Water. I really like it and am glad I bought it. A little dab'll do ya though trust me.

[Scuba]

The better half has me hooked on Bleu de Chanel. Great, subtle cologne that hangs in there all day. :) She wears Chanel as well and this makes for the perfect mix of scents.

[Sun]

Still my standard "Vintage" by John Varvatos.

I am super selective about scent and being original. If I get a whiff of Abercrombie Fierce one more time, some one is gonna get hurt. Overplayed and overworked cologne. Cant wait till it vanishes from the market.

Lucky me...all out of Fierce **chuckling**

[clay]

Diesel...for Men...for me. 2 years ago, I was gifted a 50 oz. bottle with a really hawt, canvas top and leather bottom travel bag with it..with the Diesel logo on it...

[Toughy]

Truth be told..........I live in the scent free Bay Area. If it's a lesbian/dyke event, it is scent free. The famous friday night dances are scent free and don't go in there will smelly hair shampoo either.....lots and lots of chemically sensitive people in the bay area.......

So I smell like me most of the time with a faint whiff of a very lightly scented soap that is about gone an hour after the shower. My shampoo and clothes do not have a scent nor does my lotion. Besides, all those competing scents rarely work well together.......

Dapper said a long time ago about cologne..........one spray and walk though it.........yep that would be the amount to wear.

[asphaltcowboi]

i get most complements on my tiffiny for men(tiffinays NY) and my vintage black (kennith cole)

[KCBUTCH]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SCENT ON FEMMES- IT DRIVES ME CRAZY- I CAN FIND IT IN A CROWD...
ORIGINS GINGER ESSENCE
http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/nd.12309.jpg

[TheMerryFairy]

I really like the Nautica "competition" in the yellow bottle. I cringe at the name, but the smell is great. I know it might be "common" but honestly I don't spend enough time around people wearing cologne to know what's what.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Less is more...I've said before I'm sure.

In fact don't wear any and I'll be a happy woman.

[sis]

I have to agree with less is more .... even then, if my nose starts to tickle, I'll probably be sneezing soon after (allergies). Having said that, though it's been awhile, I do like the scent of cologne on my my date/partner.

- Deb

[kannon]

I bought some david yurman for a close friend. (just friends) It smells great.

[Cole610]

Back in the day CK Obsession for men. Currently, Swiss Army Classic, Diesel, AXE
Dark Temptations shower gel and pit stick.
After reading all these great posts I think Im going to check out, Acqua DiGio, Cool Water, Kenneth Cole Black and D&G

[JDeere]

CK Euphoria Intense, Cool Water or Any of the Stetson's but I am just partial!

[Okiebug61]

I wear only essential oils that are 100% natural. Our skin is a sponge and all manufactured fragrances have ingredients that can cause side effects.

Peace

[Red-Dragon]

i started using cologne after talking to my friend about axe products. i actualy talked to my co-worker and she gave me books of cologne there are a few i wear that smell great
-crest by i think shirley may
-perfect strength
-urban edge
-gender one ck
- black suede essential

[Femmadian]

I'm a
http://media2.onsugar.com/files/2010/07/27/4/192/1922153/6cda72f66ee2029a_Chanel-No.-5.jpg femme myself. Love how versatile and sweet it is and it really does go with everything. I always get compliments on how I smell so I guess it must work for me. :eyebat:

On a butch, I'm not terribly picky as long as they're:
a) clean
b) don't smell like my grandfather (Old Spice... do I have to say it?)
c) aren't doused in Axe like a teenage boy

That being said, my favourite cologne scent of all time has to be Armani Mania for Men:
http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/53/0b/cc/530bcce2e940d4f28437b83b56ec6beb.jpg
:cheer:
If there is one scent guaranteed to knock me off my feet, this is the one. I can always pick it out in a crowd and it makes my knees weak. It's kind of dark and musky, with an urban night time feel to it, but elegant and strong (in a good way). It's described on Amazon as "cedar, mandarin and amber, a mossy, masculine scent" and I'd have to agree.

I've recommended it to a number of friends, both men and butch, and they've all had success with it (however you define that...). Just sayin'. :p

I think if I saw even just an average looking butch (not that you aren't all handsome... :) ) walking down the street and caught a whiff of this when she walked by... said butch would have to beat me off with a bat. It's just... intoxicating. :heartbeat: Highly recommended!
:thud:

[This concludes the end of my PSA for the butches on the Planet. ;)]

[Cole610]

I just picked up Jean Paul Gaultier "Le Male"
I love it, no feed back from anyone else yet . lol
It smells a little musky/vanilla and flowers. I would say its more unisex than just
for guys

[CowboyInFlorida]

I am very fond of the scent of zest soap... I don't require more

[randrum]

My "go-to" cologne is usually Acqua di Parma Essenza. But I've had a tough time finding it lately. So I switched to Bvlgari Pour Homme. It's nice, but I don't get as many comments on the scent as I did with the Essenza.

[Shystonefem]

I do not, normally, notice cologne unless it stinks.... BUT, a few weeks ago there was a cologne I loved souch, I asked the guy what it was... lol... Never did that before but I was thinking about presents for my sons. Armani...

[Daniela]

Armani Mania!!! I love it. I think I swooned the first time I smelled it. :)

[Daktari]

My cheapy go-to for the last decade has been Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male. (came out in '95).
Because it reminded ex-mrs.d of her ex fella I stopped using it for a wee while and then because she said Dior Homme smelled spectacular on me that's what I changed over to. I always get 'you smell good' comments when wearing it. It's not half as common as JPG. Not surprising, it's twice the price too.

Now I'm back to JPG for daily squirts and Dior Homme for special squirts.

I can't smell, am totally anosmic, so I wear this stuff for other people and for the knowledge that I smell delicious.
I'm just as happy to not wear smelly stuff, I'm told I have a really good personal smell anyway...the universe making up for me not having a sense of smell mebbe?

[Shystonefem]

Armani Mania!!! I love it. I think I swooned the first time I smelled it. :)


I have to admit, it is the best cologne

[Cailin]

i like some weird smells...

i like drakkar noir, and yes, old spice...


but one that usually turns my head is polo sport type of scents. i can't handle anything too sweet or strong.

currently i have my significant other wear Kenneth Cole's "black"



for me, i'm more of a "halloween" person. i haven't found another perfume that i've stuck with.

I've been informed, on numerous occasions, that 'smellies' smell different on each person due to their personal chemical thang and that something which smells good on one can smell rank on another. Is this not true?

[PatrickIver]

I am a fan of anything (pretty much) Armani.

I currently wear Armani Code or Aqua di Gio. But, have switched to others in the Armani area. I like something that is earthy with a citrus smell. Kind of an odd mix, so it takes me a bit to settle on something that mixes good with my body chemistry.

I have also used D&G - The One all the way down to Joe Boxer. Just depends in the end on how it mixes with my skin.

I love JPG Le Male.

I'm not very fond of many scents but the ones I like, I really like. I especially like it if it's done very lightly, so that I only smell it if they lean in to me to talk, or if they hug me. That's lovely. And that would be the middle and base notes because the top notes fade in 15 minutes.

And it is very true that personal scent completely affects the cologne. What smells great on one person, will not be such a good match on another.

I wish I could smell 'em...but even more I wish I could smell unadulterated girl!

I've been told that JPG LM lasts well and it's sillage is moderate on me....sillage is the 'wake' of scent that trails behind you. The Dior Homme however had great lasting power on my skin and will still be smelling really good the next day, it's sillage is also moderate, I'm told.

Smells really aren't that important to me, never having smelled anything, but I know they are to other people so I'm happy to oblige...when I can be bothered ;)

So...how is food for you, if your ability to smell is hampered?

I can never settle on a scent because I inevitably end up disliking the way it smells on me after awhile – maybe the result of some weird alchemy that happens on my skin. lol Interestingly, it seems to happen less with things that aren't alcohol-based, or maybe that's just my imagination.

I had a friend who used to insist everyone needs a signature scent. WHY? She was so focused on creating a "persona" that she almost took a marketing-style approach to it. I think she thought of herself as a brand.:rolleyes:

Food is always heavily seasoned and chilli sauced up. Garlic is lost on me generally. My sense of taste is in broad strokes rather than fine details. I'm grateful to have even an impaired sense of taste.

I like the new Stetson Caliber cologne. I have always liked the Stetson line.

[randrum]

There have been so many recommendations for Armani Mania and JPG Le Male. So I took the hint and ordered 3 ml samples of both online. I figured I'd see what all the fuss is about. ;)

[Rockinonahigh]

I have this line of cologne,it never fails me,it's just right.

[JDeere]

Completely agreed!

[Degotoga]

When an occasion calls for it, I either wear Armani Code, Armani Mania, or CK Obsession.

Any other time I usually smell like AXE Anarchy body wash.

[SpaceCowboy]

Dolce and Gabana's Light Blue...is awesome, my new favorite. I tend to wear a lighter scent in the summer...and deep rich scents in the winter..Gucci and Tokyo Milk Dark is awesome.

[thedreamerin]

I love cool water, and Black...

[Tuff Stuff]

I've always worn Old Spice. Getting kinda sick of it, any suggestions?

I'm kind of stuck on Old Spice myself.My Daddy (God rest his soul) used it and as a young kid i'd wear it to school and drive the ol' ladies crazy.

I also like the smell of splash on Brut 33.

My girl really likes the CK Euphoria Intense cologne I use, but she also likes the Stetson one.

I found D and G The One to be a good scent too but my dad wears it and I don't particularly want to use the same thing he does. LOL.

[AishasWrath]

Liz Claiborne Mambo cologne, an earthy-spice-sweet scent. It's hard to find though, but a good substitute is Curve Crush.

It smells really good. I'm mobile and can't post links. It has tonka bean, sandalwood and tobacco hints in it.

[Nattih]

I melt into the arms of anyone wearing Tom Ford's Noir Extreme

[JDeere]

I no longer wear the Chrome cologne, my girl doesn't like it LOL

I still however wear the Stetson Caliber, CK Euphoria Intense for men and my body sprays these days.

Found a new cologne I like. O'Douds Heritage Solid Cologne.

What's it smell like, earthy, woodsy?

Yea, it's a woodsy smell. Sandalwood and bergamot are some of the main notes.

[JDeere]

I might have to see how it smells on me then, I like the way sandalwood smells.

[Gayandgray]

My Spouse is Butch and she has always wore men's cologne. Old Spice, CK one, Polo, and my all time absolute favorite is Joop!!!! I love the way that stuff smells on her! Elizabeth Taylor had a men's cologne that I bought her a few times years ago, but I can't remember the name? I really liked that. :hangloose:

[Jesse]

Found a new cologne I like. O'Douds Heritage Solid Cologne.

I recently ordered their beard oil(Notes of: Cedar, Sage, Cypress) and the Tobacco Rum solid cologne.

"Crafted with the most exquisite tobacco absolute, this scent is rich, dark, sweet, and smoky. So good you may be tempted to take a drink. It feels aged, smooth, mature and yet subtle, just like you. Notes of: Tobacco, Cedar, Clary Sage, and More."

Haha! Subtle is one thing I am not. ;)

The Tobacco Rum scent intrigued me, but I couldn't bring myself to get it. I also bought the water based pomade, which is great.

Good link!

I might be looking for a new cologne after I am done with what I have left.

[randrum]

The number of colognes in my possession has shot up recently.

I still am really attached to Aqua di Parma Essenza and have a big 6 oz bottle of it. But I've expanded to having a few more options.

Like the O'Doubs Heritage solid cologne which is nice for just a little scent. I also got American Eagle Live, Burberry Weekend, and Nautica Blue.

They all have similar notes (citrusy-woody) but slightly different chemistry.

[JDeere]

I just couldn't get into the Burberry Weekend cologne, I don't know why though, most folks thought it smelt okay on me but I didn't. I guess I am very picky on the smells from my nose and not other people's noses.

[JDeere]

I have now gotten rid of the CK euphoria intense, I only wear my acqua di Gio by Armani or stetson caliber but I mainly use body sprays when I don't use cologne.

[NitroChrys_Butch]

It all depends on the time of year and what the occasion but these are My contenders.... and if people blink rapidly or cough politely around you ... EASE up ... use soap and water first....

John Varvatos Artisan
Guess Seductive Homme Blue
Gucci Guilty
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Terrible
Issey Miyake L

[Glenn]

Yes.. A mild bar of soap and water go a long way...
But of course I wanted the fruity and smokey Aventus by Creed for $210.00. What I actually purchased was a decent clone called Club de Nuit Intense Man for $27.50.

[theoddz]

I love good smelling colognes and I have to admit that my cologne locker stays well stocked with a variety of great scents. I prefer the "fresh" scents to the heavier musks.

Currently, the scents I use most often are as follows:

1. Givenchy - Gentlemen Only
2. Yves St. Laurent - L’Homme Libre
3. Christian Dior - Farenheit
4. John Varvatos - Vintage
5. Sean Jean - Unforgiveable
6. Geoffrey Bean - Gray Flannel (an OLD favorite of mine for years)
7. Christopher Wicke - English Laundry Oxford Blue
8. Armani - Code

I am very, very careful to not overapply any of these scents. Being an asthmatic, myself, going "light" is much more effective and allows these scents to mix with my natural pheromones to produce a much more "individual" smell to them. :winky:

My dad used to wear Gray Flannel, its a nice scent.

I found that I like Blue De Chanel for men, but it's pretty pricey and I don't always use cologne every day.

[JDeere]

BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP!

[JDeere]

I tried a spray of a cologne this evening. It was Polo Black. I might be buying a bottle.

[JDeere]

This is the cologne I was posting about!

Kenneth Cole Black and Vintage Black smells good, I am not sure if I would wear it as much as my other colognes.

[JDeere]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I broke down and got me a bottle of Kenneth Cole Black, on sale!

I will try it out tomorrow! See what everyone says at work.

[cathexis]

Favorite scent on a Butch?

Freshly cleaned skin and hair...maybe Zest or Axe or maybe even Irish Spring.

I want to smell the Butch! not a cologne brand

[JDeere]

Okay so i have a consensus about my cologne. The Kenneth Cole Black over rules Acqua Di Gio by Armani at work.

[Greco]

Bleu by Chanel has clean scent, great for
work, and going out as well.

JDeere...that's why there are so many colognes on the market...different
scents for different folks. So, which one did you like the Kenneth Cole or Armani?

I like both. I have them sitting on my dresser lol, I rotate which one to wear.

[grayson]

hey y'all!
i don't really wear perfume or cologne at the minute - still pretty young so i can get away with it, and they all seem so expensive
i was wondering if anybody had recommendations for body washes that are good quality and smell nice but not super overpowering? i like the kinda woodsy scents, so cedar and pine and stuff like that would be cool

[Greco]

grayson,

"Jack for Men" makes a delicious (so I've been told) sandalwood, also like their
cedar wood...I use the soap, but they make a body wash as well. And reasonably
priced.

[ierne]

Lord of Goathorn by Lush is very interesting, and my gf loves it on me, altho it's definitely not for everyone, as according to the website it has notes of 'seaweed, basil, tarragon, liquorice'. To me it definitely smells strongly of anise and the sea.

[Tuff Stuff]

Lately I like the smell of Black Suede.

[JDeere]

I am sticking to the Acqua Di Gio from now on. I am getting a lot of compliments on how it smells on me, lately.

[JDeere]

I have 2 bottles of cologne i no longer wear. Anyone want them or any ideas on what to do with them? I tried selling apps but no luck.

I have both the Cedarwood and Sandalwood body wash from Every Man Jack. It has a very light, subtle scent that seems to dissipate shortly after using. It’s nice, though.

[JDeere]

Telluride cologne from manready mercantile is my new go to for outings with my ex or family.

It has tonka bean, sandalwood and suede.

[JDeere]

Whoever sent me the rep comment about the colognes, i found someone to take them. I do apologize for not getting back to ya, life has thrown me a big curveball.

[Lyte]

I like clean... crisp... simple... scents and that can manifest in so many diffent ways. Even so, I want to have her input as to the selection(s). It is as much about her chemistry as it is my own. I want to be mindful of what scents move her in addition to complimenting me.

Go cologne/perfume shopping together! trust me it helps oodles!

[Ender]

Tim McGraw cologne is pretty nice. I think I have all three of his scents.

[ProfPacker]

Calvin Klein One scent cologne

[WheatToast]

I have three go-to colognes, so I can always wear the one preferred by the femme I'm seeing.

1. Pasha by Cartier (French)
2. Melograno by Santa Maria Novella (Italian)
3. Molecule 01 (German)

The Molecule 01 is the weirdest but coolest. It has one molecule of fragrance that attaches to your body chemistry, and people either cannot smell it all or they will follow you for miles just to ask what it is. If people tell you you have a nice, natural scent, get some of this. It's like attaching a Marshall amp to your iPod dock--it amplifies one's essence beautifully.

Pasha by Cartier is a classic men's fragrance. It balances aromatics, rich herbs and spices with woodsy notes to create a balanced fragrance perfect for hot date nights when you want to make a lasting impression.


Melograno is from the oldest pharmacy/perfumer in Florence, Italy (circa 1612). If you saw the movie, "Hannibal," this was the perfumery he went to for a special blend of lotion he wanted to give Clarise Starling. Though melograno means pomegranate in Italian, it smells nothing like that or any fruit. It smells like something a king or aristocrat or 007 would wear--but words like powdery or musky do not do it justice.
I once took the liberty of spraying it on one of my wife pleaser undershirts and tucking it inside the luggage of a visiting femme, just before she left.
She loved it so much, now she wears it.
I felt like I had Cyrano DeBergerac'd myself with that move.

[Jedi]

I have a few I really like. They range from really cheap to really expensive.

Polo Blue
Ed Hardy Love and Luck
Polo (just plain Polo)
Chanel Egoiste Platinum
Calvin Klein Eternity
Bath and Body Works Noir
Bath and Body Works Ocean
Bod Man Black

I like the Bath and Body Works stuff because you can really layer it by getting the scented body wash and the lotion, too.

oh...I almost forgot Old Spice Swagger but I'm getting a bit tired of the Old Spice.

[WheatToast]

P!nk was on Ellen's show one day, and apparently they hang out a lot in real life. P!nk told the audience about a huge outdoor party Ellen and Portia had. After everyone had consumed a few drinks, Ellen was sneaking up behind some of the men and spraying their backs with Drakkar Noir.
I almost peed myself laughing. Drakkar Noir smells like a mixture of cat urine, geranium leaves and mildew.
I can think of no cologne any worse, except for Lancome's Tresor. A workmate of mine used to wear it and it smelled so bad I found it hard to like her. When she would approach the office door in the morning, that stench would waft into the office before she did.
If you fear getting kidnapped and buried alive, wear lots of Tresor or Drakkar Noir. A bloodhound could smell those cloying scents buried 6 feet deep.

Cool Water

Kenneth Cole Reaction

All three are the ones for men.

I do like the Drakkar Noir too occasionally but a little goes a very long way - like one squirt for all day.

[WheatToast]

Thanks. I'm an exclusively men's cologne kind of butch.

Try Armani for
men. It's really nice.

I'm down to 4 colognes to wear that work well with my skin and sensitivity.

I absolutely love this shop. They have a great selection of Solid Cologne that come in a vintage tin. I travel a lot for work and you get to a point where you have to travel light and carrying heavy glass cologne bottles became annoying.

I must admit, the entire ritual is like stepping back in time which I love. If you try it, prepare to be addicted!

[Buckaroo]

i change my scents for the season...in the summer i like light scents...like CK Eternity Or Tommy...In the winter i like Gucci por homme and Tokyo Milk Dark Bulletproof. Kenneth Cole Reaction is nice light scent too. Burberry has some nice scents too.

Tom Ford Noir Extreme. I love this one.

I am a Bath & Body Works type. I love two of their scents: You're The One and Cashmere & Snowflakes.
