Wearing perfumes instead of colognes

[JJKrkwood]

Most important, you dont want to smell like a million other people, so select carefully, and make sure you test the smell on your skin. It will probably smell alot diff than it does in the bottle once it settles on you.

gross. why would a guy want to smell like a chick?

D & G Light Blue for women...that's the only perfume I'm willing to wear.

Colognes... perfumes... chemical weapon. Yuck.

Hope those get banned from public transit here, the idea keeps being floated.

For those that say 'smelling like a woman', I don't think that makes any sense.

Men and women naturally differ in body scents, but I don't think (or know maybe) any woman naturally smells like flowers or cinnamon. Neither does a man has a natural Red Spice or Axe musk.

It seems like we seperate the scents since we're used to smelling them on certain genders and believe it's a 'male' fragrance or 'woman' fragrance.

That's just my opinion.

 

[Tadaa]

Not my thing.

I think it's about the same as calling a dress women's clothing.

could a man wear a dress? sure. but doing so bucks thousands of years worth of cultural norms and makes a statement that you may or may not want to be making.

Pink is thought of as feminine in Western culture, and some men (straight or gay) refuse to wear it because of that.

But many men will wear pink (myself included) regardless of its feminine implications.

I think it's sad some guys here are doing the old "I don't want to be a girl" thing regarding the OP's original question. If you don't like perfume, fine, maybe you could just tell us what you do like, rather than equating perfume-wearers with the faggoty fags.

Humm yea, lol your a nice and sweet cream puff. Its interesting to find stuff like that about a guy, then you'd know how to treat him.

 

[Latimer]

Don't Use Either! Please.

Is it ok? sure. Would I want to date a guy who smells like a woman? Not so much. Turn-off.

i dont. i have about 4 bottles of cologne that i cycle every once in a while, but my boyfriend does. he doesnt wear it often, but he wears estee lauder's beautiful. he keeps telling me that when he used to wear it to the clubs he would walk away with a lot of guys numbers.

I don't have a sense of smell so I coudn't give a shit whether a guy was wearing perfume instead of colognes.

If it makes him happy, then thats all that matters.

I wouldn't want to wear perfume. Don't really like the smell of perfumes. But then again, I hate men's colognes that smell like pine, musk, tobacco you know, those typical "manly scent" colognes. Loved the smell of hugo boss when I was in high school. A cologne I really like right now is blue seduction by Antonio Banderas. It has a very light crisp clean smell to it, somewhat sweet but like a "water" smell to it I guess? It reminds me of a citrus minty smell.

[edit]

lol no wonder I think it smells like citrus and mint, it has bergomot in it... I love the smell of bergomot essential oil.

I'm wearing perfume or edt instead of colognes. I hate the longevity of cologne and some of them smell so synthetic so I prefer wearing perfumes

 

[andysayshi]

Is it cheaper than Old Spice?

 

[mbamike]

i don't even wear colognes, so why should i wear perfume

What he said.

I do shower and put on deordorant though.
