How Many Wear Cologne?

[neruda]

Right on....natural smell is best

But before its stale right?

Freshly perspiring - like just after a run is good,

Tho' on second thoughts - just a good soap wash is absolutely terrific.

Just throwing in my own thoughts here

I love wearing cologne. I get very attracted to other men wearing really nice cologne too, but sometimes I catch a whiff of a really nice smell and look to see who might be there and it turns out it's my own cologne I can smell- disappointing in one way and yet reassuring that at least I'm not giving off deathly pongs.

I'm a bit of a shopaholic only when it comes to cologne: 1 or 2 just aren't enough, and I love trying out new ones even though I've got bottles of the stuff. Does anyone know if it goes off at all?

Some of my favourite ones unfortunately are now being discountinued- Joop's "What about Adam" and "Rush" by Gucci (which I REALLY liked) for example.

Other favourites are:
Tommy
Pi
Joop Homme
Ultraviolet
Safari.

One I have just bought which is really nice is Black XS by paco rabanne- but the gorgeous model on the packaging (Will Chalker) * swoon* probably has something to do with that: the first and only time I have been seduced by the advertising- I'm normally extremely well disciplined about things like that!

I wear a little everyday now that I've found something I like (I can't stand most cologne). I use Eau de Beaux from l"Occitane. It smells like cypress.

"I wear an aftershave called Semprini."

 

[cAndId]

I use it sometimes, but I am allergic to the stronger stuff...
I love 'tommy'

 

[CrackerJack]

Everyone once in a while, I use Bvlgari.

Daily,

I NEVER did before this year.

Its called Silver Mountain Water and it's by a french house called Creed.

I love it and always get 'god you smell so good' so I guess im not the only one who likes it.

I am a daily wearer of cologne. Right now I am transferring from the summer scents to the fall and winter scents...

It was cool when I was in college, but I dislike all of it now. There is nothing worse than opening a door to find the cologne of the former opener on your hand.

I gave up wearing cologne a long time ago. I really don't know why. I never piled it on so that I got nasty comments or anything. And unless some guy splashes a gallon on himself, I'm not really turned off by cologne. But I gradually just used it less and less, and then I just stopped. I still have bottles that are ancient now.

I like Paul Sebastian.

I like Paul Sebastian.

I Love that cologne! I never knew anyone else that used it. Today, and for sometime, it's been Eternity for men. For a change, I like Fierce.

I love it, it drives me crazy. Which is why I wear it.

Am I trying to drive myself crazy? lol

Well excuse me for being so naive but I never realised that colognes had seasons- I just wear the same ones all year round. Should we wear different types at different times of the year? Genuine question. Why?

 

[pacz]

Use lighter colognes in the summer and heavier ones in the winter. IE: citrus colognes are more for the summer.

Thanks pacz. I've genuinely never considered this before. Does cologne go off eventually?
