I look at it like this: It's kind of an animalistic nature to be especially pleased when someone smells another person's "scent" (their cologne). There are many thousands of different types of colognes. Some are universally liked, such as Polo Sport, Curve, Tommy Hilfiger, Aqua Di Gio, and others are liked by some people and hated by others. I'm glad you didn't ask what colognes are good smelling because buying off of someone else's opinon is completely going against the reason people wear cologne, IMO. Just go to Nordstrom's and start sniffing around. Realize though that our noses get saturated with smells extremely easily and after smelling about 2-7 colognes they'll start to smell less and less different. Also, it sounds like you've never really messed around with cologne before. Many kinds smell one way in their wet, "spray" form and develop to a different smell over time, like if sprayed on a shirt one night and then smelled the next morning. So don't hesitate to spray some on you in the store and wear it around. If you find it making you nautious or headache-bringing, it probably doesn't agree with your pleasures! I've put on some cologne that seemed to attract more attention and compliments than I could ever imagine. Total strangers would ask me about them, which is great, but other times I've found cologne that I personally love and am yet to get a compliment. It's all relative. Buy what you like!
Just give it time, ask the men and women at Nordstrom what seem to be popular and try on one at a time. Best of luck!
