I have, uh, a small collection.

Mostly from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab: Potions, Perfumes, and Esoteric Brews

I'm currently wearing O, which is honey, vanilla and amber, and is ridiculously sexy. :D

Based on the suggestions in the epic Ask a Cologne Snob thread by MSD, I wear Green Irish Tweed, by Creed. In fact, I am nearly out of it, after wearing it sparingly for 2 years.
Quote:

Created using base notes of citrus and sandalwood, the scent of Creed’s Green Irish Tweed evokes the image of the masculine country gentleman without being too pretentious or pastoral. The unusual mixture of verbena, violet leaves and Florentine iris with sandalwood and ambergris give you a cologne that may be worn all day and into the evening without being overpowering.

My Dad used to wear that years ago. Can't remember what it smells like tho.

Lacoste Red in the summer, Lacoste Original the other three months.

Punk.of.Ages 06-15-2009 11:17 AM

I don't wear cologne. It gives me flashbacks.

I lit myself on fire with the stuff when I was 13. I can no longer tolerate the smell. It's reminiscent of the smell of burning flesh.

ShaniFaye 06-15-2009 11:21 AM

Im that way about Chanel No.5 and milkyway candy bars

My mother gave me her milkyway that had been in the bottom of her gym bag when I was a teenager (this was waaaay back in the 80's when the wrappers will still paper) and her perfume bottle had soaked it and I didnt know it until I took a bite. To this day I can stand the smell of Chanel No.5 nor can I look at a milkyway

wooÐs 06-15-2009 11:24 AM

I don't know how anyone can stand Chanel No.5. It smells like old lady to me. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/171/icon9j.png

That's what my dad wears. With Old Spice deodorant.

Nothing beats the smell of Dad in my mind, unless it's the smell of Mom--she smells like Chloe.

I don't wear perfume. My SO is too sensitive.

Reese 06-15-2009 12:12 PM

I don't use any cologne anymore. I think the body wash coupled with deodorant and shampoo/conditioner is already going overboard with different smells. Adding Cologne to that just confuses the senses to me.

inBOIL 06-15-2009 01:43 PM

I don't wear cologne, since it has just as much chance of repelling a woman as attracting her. Besides, it tends to give me a headache.

Unscented dove body wash + unscented antiperspirent. Don't know what to tell you about the shampoo, but if someone is close enough that they're smelling your hair, I don't think you need to worry about offending them with olfactory complexity :thumbsup:

CinnamonGirl 06-15-2009 02:37 PM

I prefer scented lotions to perfume... but I occasionally spritz on some Black Amethyst body spray from B&BW. I also buy a vial of scented oil from the Renn Fest every year-- Egyptian Jasmine. Yum.

Fremen 06-15-2009 02:49 PM

I was watching "I love the 70's" on VH1 the other day, and they mentioned the Charlie (sp?) perfume and ads from back then.
My friend says her grandfather used it because he liked the smell. Her grandfather!

Anyway, I like Old Spice, English Leather, the different Axe mixes and the sample of Bod Man I was given. Basically, cheap stuff.

I wish I could find a sample of Hai Karate so I could smell it. I've heard it denigrated over the years and wanted to judge it for my self. I was too young for cologne when it was around.

ShaniFaye 06-15-2009 03:04 PM

I adore the smell of old spice on a guy

Punk.of.Ages 06-15-2009 03:12 PM

While I don't use cologne, I do use Old Spice deodorant, and Old Spice body wash. Those keep me smelling just fine...

That reminds me of Love's Baby Soft. That was my first fragrance ever I think.

PonyPotato 06-15-2009 04:26 PM

I wear Fresh's Apricot Fig perfume (can get it from Sephora).

It's the only perfume I've ever liked enough to buy and wear on a regular basis. I love it, and I'm very unlikely to smell like someone else X person knows.

robot_parade 06-15-2009 07:05 PM

I wear:

http://www.yournewfragrance.com/v/vs...garo_iii_m.jpg

Ungaro III

And:

http://www.4-fragrances.com/men/pi-m.jpg

Pi

Not at the same time, of course. The Ungaro III is more 'spice and smoke' smelling, while Pi is more vanilla-ey.

Also some stuff from BPAL - my favorite of these so far is 'Oberon'.

Oh - Almost forgot to give a shout-out to MSD's awesome advice in the 'Ask A Cologne Snob' thread. He recommended both the Ungaro III and the Pi, and I'm quite happy with both.

I don't wear cologne, really, but if I do, maybe once a year or less, I like Drakkar Noir:
https://www.beautive.com/images/prod/l/04635330705.jpg
Also, my sister once gave me Paco Rabanne XS, a long time ago, but that's one I wear about once every 3 years:http://www.interstellar-solutions.co...pray-100ml.jpg
Those are the only two I own, and I've had them for years. I can't imagine myself ever shopping for cologne. My natural scent is fine, as long as I've had a shower not too long ago.

wooÐs 06-16-2009 06:35 PM

I forgot about this:

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2...4oz5991835.jpg

It's a great scent and it's fairly cheap. Maybe $20 for 3.4oz. I've used Design off and on for years now. I always get compliments when I wear it.

CinnamonGirl 06-16-2009 07:49 PM

There's a guy at work who wears what I believe is called "Fierce." Oh...it's amazingly wonderful. Yum.

Until I found the scottish heather oil, this was all I wore....it smells awesome....occasionally Kroger will have it on sale for 15 dollars (1/2 price of what Ulta 3 charged) and I will pick up a bottle just to have something different

BadNick 06-17-2009 05:36 AM

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.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Sauvage_lg.jpg

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.

Did your daddy wear Old Spice? Just curious as to why you like it so much--for me, it's because the smell reminds me of my daddy.

ShaniFaye 06-18-2009 02:25 AM

Yeah, I think I mentioned in the smells thread that my daddy wore it, but thats not why I wanna go smell BOR HAH

Thanks for the shout-out. Ungaro III remains the only scent that has gotten me tackle-hugged, although it shares two things with Himalaya: the real sandalwood and the power to make women hug me and refuse to let go.

FWIW, A&F Fierce and Hugo Boss Red are subtly different but almost the same. If you like one, you'll like the other. I like Hugo better, but unfortunately wearing it makes me smell too powdery.

OT: thank you, I do avail myself of this latitude. I recently bought two pairs of 14 oz. boxing gloves under the pretense of sparring with them so they learn something, but it also allows me to beat them without leaving too many marks.... = very satifying.
Come to think of it, I recently smelled the inside of the gloves which have gotten somewhat ripe smelly from sweat...so they need a spritz of Eau Savage to correct this problem :rolleyes:

lostgirl 06-18-2009 11:37 AM

Nothing special, most of them give ma a headache or make me nauseous. Sometimes I smell like vanilla, sometimes like cotton candy, most of the time I just smell like my shampoo and body wash. My SO says he likes my natural sent, I get the most complements when I am wearing nothing.

+1 on liking the smell of Old Spice deodorant, that is all he needs to wear. Even without it his natural sent is delicious.

settie 06-18-2009 09:18 PM

I wear these:

and switch between them regularly.

my soaps and body lotions have next to no scent. I rely on these babies to smell...intoxicating. ;)

I always get compliments on my smell from both sexes. And my vanity adores it.

invalidiuser 07-24-2009 05:34 AM

I don't like the smell of any perfume or cologne. Makes me want to gag for some reason. I know that most people like the smell of it and it turns them on some how but I like my natural smell. Some use it to cover smell such as cigarette and others which they over do it and you can actually smell it 100ft down the hall.

El Natural smell is the best way to go I say.

allaboutmusic 07-24-2009 06:58 AM

I have Marc Jacobs for Men, Vera Wang for Men and Tom Ford Black Orchid in my regular rotation. I also keep a can of YSL Rive Gauche Intense in my commute bag, and I have a bottle of Acqua di Gio that I keep in a drawer at the office purely because it was a gift and wouldn't be my first choice but is there in case of emergency.

KellyC 07-24-2009 08:59 AM

I rarely wear cologne. Few times a year at the most. My friend swore by this stuff and my sister's ex gave my brother and me a few of these bottle so I might as well use 'em. So when I do, it's only this. The gf loves it so I wear 'em more often now, like once a month, lol.

Fragranceshop is a good one. I got a bottle of The Third Man by Caron from them a couple of months ago, and it's my daily until I can afford Himalaya again. I'll probably continue using it in the winter since Himalaya is so light.

I still have my Samsara, Realm and Design, but you girls really need to smell this:

Every time I wear it, people are all over me - 'WHAT are you WEARING?' etc. If I'm with my mother, she'll grab my wrist every 9 minutes followed by 'whiff'... 'mmmm!' It smells fantastic. And no - nothing like olives.

They say it's unisex, but guys, don't try it. It's too feminine.

redsneaker 09-08-2009 12:47 PM

I have been wearing a few new ones lately, trying them out. So far, I like Faerie by Van Cleef & Arpels:

as well as Coney Island from Bond No 9:

I recently got a sampler from Van Cleef that contains a Vanilla Orchid which is very nice:
