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.
