What kind of cologne do you guys use if you use any? I usually use Armani Code or my roommate has Burberry London which is really good. What do you use and what do the ladies think about it?

I wear cologne everyday, but never seem to run out, lol...

I have been using the same bottle of Very Sexy that I got at raum's two summers ago...And, since it comes from Victoria's Secret, you know the ladies love it...

Through college, I wore a cologne called Pleasures, I think that Clinique makes it...My mom bought it, and all the ladies loved it...I had the lotion and the whole 9...Good shit...

I also wear Tommy Hilfiger, its a great scent to put on when you're just hanging out, and don't want to smell like you're trying to fuck, lol...

Other favorites are Nautica and Cool Water, both of which used to be all the rave, and thus why I stopped wearing...

Cool topic...I like to smell good, but since my sinus problems are so bad, I always have to depend on others to tell me what's good...I ALWAYS let my mom or the woman pick out the cologne....

I want to get some new stuff that smells really good but isi not what everyone wears. I say away for Aqua Di Gio for that reason. Everyone seems to wear it. I'll try that Tommy Hilfiger because I need a good scent for when I'm just chilling.

I usually get my colognes from higher-end luxury stores to ensure that I'm not smelling the same as every other dude out there. I find that if I get one from a regular department store it just ends up smelling generic and everybody has it. It's a bit more expensive to get some of the higher-end ones but I think it's worth it.... instead of getting two i'd rather get one more exclusive one...

Currently using: john varvatos, solo lueve, terre d'hermes...

I just smelled Sean John's new cologne called Unforgivable. That stuff smells really, really good. I'm thinking about getting it because the ladies will love it

Man, my cousin was telling me something about a scent that uses pheromones...Now, I'm not sure how or even if humans respond to that (I don't think we do) but he claims chicks love it...I'll see if I can get the name of it from him...

Man that is freaky shit.....out of the 4 I wear, you have 3 the same...and with very similar results. BTW, Pleasures is from Este Lauder I believe.

The 4th, if anyone is curious, is Cerruti Image....kinda a little sweeter than the others, also good for just chillin and not smelling like you are trying too hard.

hahaha, I've heard of that stuff. I just use me own pheronomes! lol!





Seriously though, I bloody hate colognes. They all stink to me. Also perfume as well. Ick. Currently I just have an anti-perspirant like Rexona Sport in a roll-on bottle, but that stuff wears straight off, I can feel it dripping. My grandparents gave me a bottle of "kronos" by Yves Saint Laurent- it's a little strong but not too pongy, and my aunt gave me a bottle of some more fancier cologne with a crocodile on it, it ain't too bad- I mainly wear it out of respect for her. Although I hate the feeling and smell of sweat, I still don't like cologne.



What smells worth than stinky sweaty armpits, is stinky sweaty armpits MIXED with some crappy spray-on deodorant! fuck I hate that stuff.



To me my perfect perfume or cologne would smell like freshly baked chocolate biscuits, or even Anzac buscuits or gingerbread! Seriously, now THAT would pleasantly catch my nose! (and appetite /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> )
