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.

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?


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:

Who the fuck are you to judge anyone, amature?.....Try to get on the level first, tourist.

Anosmia and food...
 
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 was born anosmic

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

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. ;)

Completely agreed!

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.

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.

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.

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