It's a long video, about 10 min.

Interesting video

Two questions

1 Testing a Fragrance which is better at the Store or at the Club where some such places as the Abby in West Hollywood Have an assortment of Men Fragrance in The Washrooms

2. Where is the best places to put apply it?

I usually have done it behind my ears, neck and wrists

What does the AB smell like?

My boyfriend, haha! I can't describe it - Every time I smell it or put it on, it just floods me with great memories of us/him at so many places!

He rawks, lol.

Mmm... i don't think I've ever had that one. *makes note on wish list*



Admitedly I bought this one based on packaged box with the hot men, however the sent is as great as the box.

Good topic... I am a bear but I do like a nice fragrance on a man. I am not one of those narrow-minded bears who think it is a crime to smell of anything other than sweat, bear or smoke.
I tend to like fresh, mediterranean fragrances. Nothing too sweet or overpowering... those fragrances actually turn me off. Perennial favourites of mine are Aramis, Tuscany, Safari, Monsieur Lanvin, Eau Sauvage, l'homme Versace, Armani eau pour homme and Cologne by Thierry Mugler. Lately I have started using Acqua di Parma. Very chic and I like the idea that this fragrance is centuries old. I do not like fragrances by popstars or actors or really any commercial company that isn't really in the fashion/cosmetics industry. Why would I want to smell like David Beckham or Puff Diddy???
My latest additions -apart from Acqua di Parma- are Edition Blanche by Chanel, M7Fresh by Yves Saint-Laurent and Bergamotto Marino by Gianfranco Ferré. Fantastic. And the most compliments I get when I wear Terre d'Hermes.

Sadly Coriolan -a wonderful fragrance! Guerlain is the best!- is no longer manufactured but you may be able to come across some online.

Also sadly no longer manufactured: Polo Crest, Havana by Aramis, New West by Aramis, Life Essence by Fendi...

Guys,

The majority of the ones that you have mentioned: Polos, Armanis, Chromes, Cruve, Burberry, Calvin Kleins, Lacoste, Usher, DKNY, P diddy are all mass produced and can be found about any door you walk into including flea markets. You are wasting you money on these products they have a very small percentage of actual fragrance you are purchasing alcohol and water. If you use a deodorant soap then applying your fragrance the soap is not knowing if it is a nice smell or an odor and will try to eliminate it.

The prestige line of fragrances from Prestige International, and the French and European Perfumeries.

Holland, I hate it that bears usually do feel that way about scent. I like a man with a nice smell about him. Beats BO and just plain unwashed. You don't have to prove how much of a man you are by going without bathing. I'm glad to hear you don't have that sentiment

I soooooo hate it that the bear movement has become just as narrow-minded as the established gay world it was once supposed to be an alternative for. It is just ridiculous that I cannot walk into a gay bar with a hint of fragrance, or wearing anything other than plaid/jeans/leather/t-shirts. If I happen to feel like wearing linen or a tweed jacket I bloody well do so and it does not make me any less of a bear. And if I prefer a gin-tonic or a Campari over a lousy Bud beer in a tin, then so be it!
Kate Bush sang it so well in 'Them Heavy people' (not suggesting bears should be heavy even if I am... LOL)
"I love the beauty of wearing themselves". THAT is what being a bear is all about IMHO...!!!
OK, rant over...

Amen brother bear

I am a die hard fan of Abercrombie's Fierce. I love it. It makes me want to fuck anyone that is wearing it

Tested Calvin Kline's Obession and Elizabeth Taylor's Passion yesterday Kind of like Passion a little better but want to try out more before I buy anything

Well, try smearing some rancid cabbage behind each ear.

Maybe within a few minutes it'll smell like D&G.

Nice! I'll give it a go.

I HATE Acqua di Gio for men above all (very stereotypical fragrances...and I find the note structure simple)!

I think you'll find you're mistaken Acqua di Gio is timeless, beautiful and lush. As for Tommy's Diesels... they also reek on me, like the Miyakes and the D&Gs.

That Cartier Roadster bottle is unbelievable! I don't think anyone here imports Cartier, though, but I'll keep my eyes open.

I use an aftershave called "Semprini."

 

[celtboy]

2 of my old school favourites:

Christain Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme

Fendi UOMO

These days I alternate between Acqua di Gio and A&F Fierce.

I love cartier!

Ok so I'm biased against Acqua di Gio. If I didn't have a bad association I might like it but I go to school in LI and ALL of the Guidos wear it or some other Armani fragrance...but they really like Acqua di Gio.
