question from an inquiring male...

**Freelance Superhero** · 09-09-2002, 05:28 PM

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!

Cool Water

**Pinkgirl36** · 09-09-2002, 06:29 PM

I like the smell of Very Sexy for Him 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.....

**jujubees** · 09-09-2002, 06:38 PM

CK Escape!

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

**sleepminded** · 09-09-2002, 08:02 PM

any of that stuff give me allergies

**Freelance Superhero** · 09-09-2002, 08:55 PM

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...

romance, gap, acqua di gio, and issey miyake.

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

http://shop.avon.com/avonshop/defaul...age=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.

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.

only at night during my... hehe.... nocturnal emi....err wait.

um no.... not at all

**hapoo** · 09-10-2002, 03:05 PM

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.

**DankNstickY** · 09-10-2002, 03:42 PM

i think Escape is really good.
have u guys smelled Hugo? i think i smelled it once. dont remember if i liked it.

some other suggestions i've gotten:

PI by Givenchy
Polo Blue
Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme
Allure by Chanel

i tend to like lighter, citrusy smells, but PI is real nice...

guess we'll see...

**Speedfreak** · 09-11-2002, 02:32 AM

I use CK One, but I just ran out recently. I need to get some more, maybe something different.

**CornMonkey** · 09-11-2002, 08:22 AM

**Freelance Superhero** · 09-11-2002, 10:22 AM
