i hope you ladies don't mind my crashing yer party here, but i had a question for yall... :)

now, i'm in the market for a new cologne, and i've gotten some suggestions, but it suddenly occurred to me that i could probably get a nice variety of ideas from all of you out there in apexland...

so what fragrances do you like on your man, or, if your man doesn't wear what you'd like him to, what fragrances do you like in general?

thanks for the help! :D

I like the smell of Very Sexy for Him (http://www2.victoriassecret.com/beauty/proddisplay/?prnbr=4C-150033&cgnbr=OSBAFFRGMEN) by Victoira Secrets. They gave me a free sample of it once when I bought my perfume in a little gift bag. It smells good.....

Polo & Polo Sport are good too.

Sorry to bust in on the ladies' territory here, but I just went thru the "I need new cologne" thing. A gf of mine who's a fragrance nut suggested CK "Truth" for men. So far I like it a lot, it's a casual everyday type of scent, and it does not seem to wear off like the others I have. Check it out.

Also the "Nautica" house brand is surprisingly good.

Then again, I do have a sample of "WWF Nitro" I got somehow that you are welcome to have :D

many thanks...

i actually checked out CK's Truth too, but didn't like it as much.

kenneth cole, polo, and hugo boss all have pretty new fragrances; i think i like the new boss best...

anyway, i'ma keep lookin for a while, and please, if you have any suggestions, keep em comin... :)

Try finding something with pharamones (sp). They tend to last a longer time and *ahem* attract mates ;)

http://shop.avon.com/avonshop/default.asp?pdept%5Fid=&dept%5Fid=131&department=fastfind&src%5Fpage=dept%2Easp is Avon's.

Also Walmart has Axe and it smells, supriseingly (sp) good. :)

My SO and I went to Lover's Lane (a chain of stores that tries to be racier than Frederick's) and I sprayed some of their pheromone-based cologne.

It worked. :love2:

Later on, I was told that it wasn't the pheromones that did it. She admitted, sheepishly, that the cologne smelled like Pierre Cardin and she had a high school boyfriend who used to wear it. :ummno:

But hey, I can't complain about the results.

I read somewhere that the pheromones they use in those colognes are actually derived from pigs. (Insert favorite joke here.)

When I wear cologne, it's usually Cool Water.

For a couple years I used Cool Water. To this day i can't smell it, though i remember it smelled really good.
Then i switched to CK Contradiction and now i put on CK Escape and occasionally go back to Contradiction.
For some reason Escape makes my throat scratchy.

Gio smells REALLY good, give that a try.

The new hugo boss is amazing. Smells like good cigars and money. Cant beat that. Its getting popular though so I'm shying away from it.

Higher by Christian Dior is amazing, I recommend it.

one of my college professors wears -- acqua di gio~~*
and for some reason I can't seem to think in his class.

I'm thinking I'm distracted by his cologne, but then again...
could it be because it's Quantum Physics??

Wow.. nobody said Aqua Di Gio. That stuff is off the chains!!

but, my all time favorite (and 99.9% of everyone out there thinks I'm gay because of it) is COOL WATER FOR WOMEN!!!

Two things make me go crazy, Cool Water for women and Dimples on the lower backs of girls.. wow.. now if I can only find a girl who wears CWFW and has some nice back dimples (or thumb rests as my evil side has dubbed them)....

Heaven in a scent.. that's what I think..

and yes, I wear Cool water for women.

Yeah, but don't you know it's much easier to get a girl if she thinks your gay?? Sure, they like bad boys, because they think they can change them.. But, what better than trying to change a gay man (or at least a straight man whom they think is gay)

uh.... dammit.. no more posting when I'm drinking.
