Cologne

SnickASaurusRex · 06-08-2009, 04:50 AM

So I have a spending habit on this stuff.

I'd like to think that I have a refined palette, and I l really enjoy shopping for the stuff. I have been good at picking out aromas that are in there before the woman behind the counter tells me what is in it.

I've been diggin on Christian Dior Fahrenheit, Issey Miyake L'aeu D'issey, and YSL Opium lately. I am considering purchasing Thierry Mugler Cologne. I never thought I would have a petty retail habit, but I just cant get enough of this stuff.

Any other Parfum-a-philes out there?

generally i go with the "Liquid Smoke" or "Mid-Priced Bourbon" but lately I'm keen on "Fuggles."

actually I have never found a scent I fully appreciated (for me.) The wife has several I really like. I recently read that you need to evaluate your skin type before choosing a cologne... Sounds like a lot of work. Seems like every one i've sniffed is too musky, citrusy, or flowery.

I'm already married, so I don't figure I need the fish attractant effect anymore.

I'm allergic to practically everything that touches my skin, so cologne is right out.

I'm pretty keen on Truefitt and Hill Freshman or Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet.

Nothing but Sex Panther for me. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Can't say that I am. I don't like too much scent: it just bugs me all day long. I do enjoy well scented shave soaps/creams, though. They leave just enough behind for me.

Do you frequent badger and blade? Some of those guys are absolutely nuts over everything smelly.

I've been using Axe Spray, but unlike the commercials, chicks haven't been mobbing me, so I might switch to something else.

I used to wear Armani Code but my wife complained that it made me smell old. So last year she bought me some Diesel Fuel for Life. I'm not real picky and as long as she likes how it smells that's good enough for me.

Does a cascade pellet in your shirt pocket count? I stumbled across some Driven that I enjoy. Polo Blue is a "GoTo" and Cool Water by Davidoff.

Basically clean scents, light on the nose. Nothing worse in the world than getting in an elevator after some parfume-a-holic (or smoker) has just got out.

Yea, I've been a member for a pretty long time now. I'm nowhere near as nuts as some of the guys there. It is where I found an appreciation for colognes.
