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!

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

Calvin Klein One scent cologne

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.

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.

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.

truly Toast? so, what scents do you like?!?..i'm so curious:glasses:

Scent
 

I have not worn cologne for years but when I do it is always Joop.

:cowboy:

Drakkar Noir was the shit when I was in high school. All the guys wore it. :|

Cool Water

Kenneth Cole Reaction

Portfolio Green

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.

Try Armani for
men. It's really nice.

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

Acqua Di Gio


Stetson Caliber, it's now hard to find


Telluride by Abbott NYC bought on manreadymercantile.com


C.O. Bigelow ( bath and body works) Freshwater Lavender

dolce & gabbana-
très bon

I remember a guy in high school wearing DN. Something that's been around that long ... must be pretty good! I don't specifically remember the smell but I do remember it's strength! lol :seeingstars:

all this hate for Drakkar:jester:..in it's time it was fine..but truly, it depends who is under it..if i dig who you are then whatever you wear becomes amazing for me..like sushi, which i thought i hated but i found a love for it because i loved him-it's funny how love can change you..i enjoy it

Exactly! Smart femme!

Smells like "hurt me so good"
 

Fierce men's cologne by abercrombie and fitch.

I'm the first to admit I don't know much about fragrances, but surly sushi isn't one is it?

cologne
 

Back in the day all I ever wore was Brut. Ahhh yes. Now I sparingly use musk and Diesel (from Germany) My ex got it for me and I like it.

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!

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.

Issey Miyake

YSL: L’Homme, La Nuit De L’Homme, Y

...perhaps the time is coming to find a new essence

once upon a time Drakkar was the shit but today to smell it turns my stomach

for me I love the smell of anything spicey particularly lucky 6 anything tommy bahamma and anything calvin klein

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

Sometimes I borrow a spritz or two of Rico's cologne, which is made in England. It's called Freshman. Yummy scent. :stillheart:

I know this may sound like teenagerish but..

Dragonblast body spray from Old Spice is awesome... especially with how my skin reacts to certain scents, etc!

Paco Rabane - 1 million
Cool Water
Dior - Sauvage

I used to wear cool water! those were the days LOL, now that my skin has changed, not anymore!

Also Mont Blanc explorer

Both are expensive $$ but worth it
