Just wear Lynx (Axe) on a day to day basis, but when I'm going out I wear Dunhill London. Before that I used to wear this crappy fcuk stuff or just use whatever free samples I got my hands on. :D

Dude, I've got the Hollister stuff.

 

 

 

Seriously, I do. Then I have Curve (The green bottle) and Armani black as well. Ladies dig it.

Cologne is such a sleazy word. It's aftershave.

 

 

 

Anyway, Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet and Armani Black are what I wear. I don't wear aftershave every day anymore - I've gotten lazy and must stink.

 

Uh, cologne isn't the same thing as aftershave. Aftershave is the stuff you put on after you shave, cologne is the stuff you can put on anytime.

 

 

 

British thing. If it's fragrant liquid that you're supposed to put on your skin, it's aftershave.

I detest smelling like anything. So I pride myself on smelling neutral. I suppose for my scent you could spritz water on your self.

 

 

 

Ditto that. Strong scent makes me cough.

I've got this Calvin Klein aftershave/cologne that smells freaking sweet. Only wear it on nights out/special occasions.

 

There's a guy at work who reeks of some cheap cologne. Can't stand it. When he walks past you can taste it on the breeze and it makes everything else taste of his cheap scent. Ughh. :|

I've always loved the smell of those cheap $3 aftershaves; smelled as if it had menthol in it. It comes in a green bottle I think. But, there is one guy that I've know who just wore alcohol. Which kind of told me that he preferred performance or practicability over expensive alternatives but I also found it to smell good.

I really don't see the point considering how expensive the "proper" ones are ($70-$300 for a very small bottle), the price isn't the issue, it's the sleazy product you get in return. Shaving lotion+ a few drops liquid aftershave is enough.

 

 

 

I also got gift bottles of davidoff coolwater/black armani but rarely use them. I have to concur with a previous poster... Smelling strongly like something distinctive is not always an advantage especially in professional situations. That davidoff stuff smells like cut grass, lemon and mint mixed together. But each to their own.

 

 

 

cheap green stuff etc.

 

 

 

Yeah that's Mennen

 

 

 

 

Cheap and effective. Detested by few and appreciated by many. It's all you need really. [/salespitch] Probably one of the first bathroom items a lot of kids recognise from childhood too, besides toothpaste brands.

What I think is funny about my cologne choices is that it's mostly for men (or in some cases women) to notice me and that I'm willing to go out of my way to impress them. Mostly for professional stuff, though.

 

 

 

Right guard, good hygiene, and a little gillette aftershave is all I do for day-to-day (and even dates).

I remember that stuff very well. That's the aftershave I used the first time I shaved, and that's the after shave my dad has always used. I like the way it smells. My aftershave is crap.

Y'ves Saint Laurent L'Homme smells really nice too.

I've got a crappy david beckham cologne my friend gave me a while back. I don't like it much. I've also got this other cologne, that I never ever use. I've had it for too long, and it smells wierd now.

Well, I went to Macy's and smelled about 15 different types of cologne. After a while I narrowed it down to Armani Black and Hugo Element. I chose the Hugo Element because it came with free shower gel :P It smells so good!

Really, at the point where you think that ANY scented body spray/deodorant is acceptable, you're wrong. Very wrong. The only way to be good is to wear a non-scented deodorant. Anyways, for cologne recommendations, I'd say scents like Kenneth Cole Reaction if you're on the poor side, Armani Code if you can afford it, and any Comme Des Garcons scent if you think you can pull it off. Avoid scents like Armani Acqua di Gio like the plague. Those scents are incredibly played out, and every "stylish" high school student has them.

Whatever happened to the Axe scent Unlimited? I loved that one..

 

 

 

Oh, and a friend bought an Axe from Egypt I think it was or something. It was called Atlantis and I had never seen it before. Loved the smell, wasn't too strong and had a fresh, clean scent to it.

 

 

 

Apply to face.

 

 

 

I've found these usually have very pleasant and warm smells.

Hugo Dark Blue :thumbsup:

Get the CARBON fragrance from Next. Only about £5 and it's nice.

It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time

 

Heh, I just use Irish Spring soap and Right Guard and smell fine.

 

 

 

Irish spring is the best kind of soap\body wash.

 

:D

Was that a Fable reference? Or a reference to something that Fable also references?

It's the movie Anchorman. Which, in turn, referenced the film Spanish Fly.

 

 

 

EDIT: Joes, I really hope you don't pour it on yourself like they do in the store. That's gotta be the nastiest, more over-powering smell in the world. I get a headache just walking by that store.

 

 

 

Some of their clothes are nice, though. Very easy to find just as nice - or better - for cheaper, though.

I wear the stuff that it smells like in Abercrombie, not the Cologne from Abercrombie, the stuff they spray all their clothes with. It smells amazing and I get it for free, since a friend works there and just takes a few spray bottles full, sadly enough, I can't find out what it is though?

I once had an interesting talk with my friends (all girls) about our preferred men's perfume. Hugo Boss came out as the one pretty much all of us swoon for. For quite some time, I couldn't enter a store without going to take a whiff of this:

 

 

 

 

However, ever since I discovered Boss designed nazi and SS uniforms, my less pheromoneridden and more ethical nature turned me a bit squeamish about Boss perfume.

I use Chrome and Avatar. They're both relatively cheap and I always get told I smell good by women.

Might aswell give up taking most pharmaceuticals, heard of Bayer ?
