Except for one time when I sniffed a perfume ad in Men's Health (which, by the way, I no longer subscribe to), and actually liked the smell so much I bought it.

What was it? Hugo's Boss In Motion

Haven't worn it often, as I'm not sure if it "blends" with my chemistry.
If it smells better on you than on paper (just use a notecard at home since you probably won't have sample cards lying around,) then it works with your body.

If you've smelled this before, what "type" is it? Like winter wear or summer wear? Light scent or heavy?
It's a sweet citrus, and citrus fragrances tend to work better in summer, as heat brings out the notes mroe fully than in winter. I wouldn't go too heavy one it because of the musk base, but it's pretty versatile. Nothing by Boss works well on me, so I wouldn't wear it, but I'd reccommend it as a summer evening wear.

If you'd be interested in recommending one, I would like that. Let me know what info you need to know to recommend one.
I have three to reccommend. The first, which is a similar but a bit more mature, is DKNY Be Delicious; Sweet citrus, coffee and chocolate. I don't normally do sweet scents, but if I did I'd wear this daily. Second is Versace The Dreamer; Sweet tobacco and a hint of tea, this is the sweetest scent I'd wear. Do not immediately dismiss it based on the spray-on, you absolutely must let this dry down before you judge it. Third is M7 by Yves Saint Laurent. It's mature and sensual, and a lot of women are drawn to it; your profile says you're into weight lifting? you're exactly the type of person who would wear this.

As usual, if you go out and test these, let me know what you think. I appreciate feedback from everyone as it keeps me on the side of the snob line as the rest of the world rather than the fragrance equivalent of the guy who won't drink coffee unless it's eaten and shat out by a tropical cat.
