Cologne recommendations

[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.

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.

BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP!

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

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.

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.
