So after reading 3 pages of this... I guess I have somewhat of an interest in this. In the past, I have always received colognes as gifts from girls I was dating (Tommy, Kirra, and Burrberry). Out of those three I'd prefer Kirra, then Tommy, then Burrberry. I'd rather have a cologne that was "my smell", rather than a scent that a girl wants me to smell like. So I'd like to find one that I can wear normally, and not have to wait for a girl to pick it out for me.
Not being a big cologne guy though, Im not sure which direction to start in. I kind of have a duel personality. For example when I was doing co-oping as an industrial engineer, I was just as comfortable giving presentations to the plant manager and corporate engineers as I was going back to the maintenance shop and welding together parts shelves. Now I am taking engineering classes and working part time as a defense contractor. Since, Im fairly young (22) and active (run every night, martial arts twice a week, racing cars on the weekends), and have a decent ability to establish a presence, I dont need something that says "i am man, hear me roar". Rather I'd like something that just smells fresh, clean, and sporty (what comes to mind is my Old Spice hair and body wash).
From what I've read so far, Himalaya might be the way to go. If not, which way should I start looking? (On a side note, I live and work in Alabama, the heaviest jacket I wear most of the year is just a regular leather jacket... so I'm not sure that there's a need to distinguish between summer and winter scents).
