I hardly ever wear cologne (or perfume) by when I do I go with Eau Savage by Christian Dior. If I have to smell like something other than me I like this stuff, not only the smell but the ancient nasal flashbacks (like 40 years ago) it encites in my brain.
I never wear it anymore but I have a bottle of Canoe which yanks me back to 7th & 8th grade and feeling Christine softly pressing against me as we danced. I coulda married her but she dumped me, though the smell only brings back the positive. English Leather also brings back teenage memories.
My two teenage boys 14 & 13 use way more smelly stuff than I ever did. If they go out to play basketball or ride their longboards or even for no reason, they mist up with one of their current favorites and then that wafts around the house...I've had to enforce limited application zones so they don't kill our fish and turtle with noxious chemicals. Last weekend my younger boy got some of Diesel's latest "Only the Brave" in that weird brass knuckle bottle.
