Favorite Perfumes & Colognes???
| 
Apr 21 22:56 UTC 2002 |
hmmmm.....
I've been wearing Estee Lauder Pleasure for men cologne to the
office as a causal everyday cologne. Lately I was thinking the
scent is a tad too fruity (citrus?) to be used in the evening
or more formal setting (dating?).
So I decided to go back to my local discount merchant and sample
some more toilet water. I'm looking for a warmer manly smell.
I found a few that really smelled great:
Joop for men had a really nice smell, but I think it smelled more
like purfume (and it had a pinkish hue, so maybe it WAS purfume).
Drakkar Noir smelled really good, but it has a reputation as being
a pimpin' type cologne. I'm not sure I want a scent that gives the
message that i'm a playa'
Christian Dior's Fahrenheit had a really strong wierd smell, but
after it wore off a little, I found it to be quite sexy.
I heard somewhere that women sometimes tend to be attracted to the
smell of their fathers cologne on guys they date. Should I slap on
some Old Spice or Aqua Velva?
What cologne(s) and/or perfume(s) are your favorites?
Do you wear cologne/perfume to the office? or just on special
occasions?

I wear Polo. I prefer the cologne but wear what I've been given. (When the
current stock disappears, I'll be buying my own again.)

i hate all perfumes and colognes. they either smell or irritate my senses.
there are a few oils i like ok - mostly the musky types.
i also like peoples' natural smell. not b.o. - but their natural odor.

Ok my favorite perfume right now would have to be clinique happy. My mom
brought a small sample home from work, and i decided to smell it and it
smells really good. Well at least i think it does.

I really don't like perfumes or colognes, either. Most people don't
apply them correctly, and wind up bathing in the stuff, and so many
I've smelled were scents I really didn't like.
"Fathom" and "Carrington" were scents that I did like, however.
Most of the time, shaving gel and deodorant seem to do fine.
resp:2 I know what you're saying, Carrie. Personal scent and body
odor are two different things-- the latter is caused by growth of
bacteria. I enjoy my wife's personal smell, although she finds that
strange.

I wear... deodorant, because I pretty much have to. Nothing else, though.
Why spend money to be artificial?

I still have the same bottles of Aramis after shave and Royal Copenhagen
cologne that I got as gifts for my birthday almost 20 years ago. Perhaps
I should just throw them away....

#9> I still have part of a bottle of Aramis that's about that old, too. 21
years, I think. It's old enough to drink. =}

My dad wears Canoe, which is a nice, distinguished smell. My boyfriend wears
Old Spice aftershave (YUM!!!) I also like Vanilla for men.
I don't wear perfume since I'm allergic to it, and high quantities on anyone
near me will give me an asthma attack.

I wear Dolce Vita by Christian Dior (it's the sister to Fahrenheit) - Lilac
perfume oil from the body shop, and Night Blooming Jasmine from Bath and Body
- not all at once of course. Happy is nice and I have contemplated buying
it.
For men - Drakkar will get you play, for sure. And Fahrenheith pretty much
drives me wild.

I've heard that men's fragrances are the same as women's, only watered down.
Is that true?

strong perfumes give me sinus trouble.
I prefer scents that are light and innocuous.
For a while my favorite scent was something called "Ambush" I don't
think they make it any more, though.

Certain perfumes give me headaches but fortunately only when applied in
large amounts. A lot of people really do go overboard with the cologne.
Just today I had a bit of an incident (luckily the person was not
wearing a perfume that gives me a headache) where I went into the
restroom and the whole room was filled with her perfume smell. I try
not to be too judgmental about people who wear a lot of perfume though.
I used to do it myself. I used to layer the scent and everything. I
just didnt realize how obnoxious it is to other people.
I am kind of like oval I guess in that I like people's natural scents
but I also like the smell of certain soaps and shaving creams. I always
think it is really cool if someone lets you get close enough to smell
them. It is kind of special and that gets totally lost when someone
wears too much perfume.

I use Dr Bronner's soaps in various flavors and people have told me
that I smell good when I use them. My favorite is lavender but I also
sometimes use the tea tree kind or the peppermint kind. I used to have
some lavendar lotion but an ex roommate stole it.

I like vetiver. I buy a tiny bottle of the pure stuff at Capriland's
once every few years. Hard to describe -- it doesn't smell like
cologne at all. I also like Geurlain's Habit Rouge and Chanel for Men.

Drakkar on a guy (or Gaultier's Le Male)... mmm hmmm.
I prefer to smell edible.
I was playing with my nephew last night and he still has that neat baby
smell. I love it.

I have to digress here a second. A couple of our friends have had babies
recently, and a lot of people talk about that "wonderful baby smell."
The only smells I've ever perceived from babies are bad ones. If it isn't
sour milk, it's dirty diapers.
What are people talking about? My wife's never smelled it either, and I've
heard guys claim to have, so I don't think this is sex-linked.

Babies have that wonderful baby smell right after a bath or being freshly
diapered. Mostly Johnson and Johnson baby products, i.e. baby shampoo,
powder, soap (boby wash now), etc.

can't stand perfumes or colognes. people who wear them
are cretins who have no sense of personal boundary.
