What perfumes / colognes do you wear?
|
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.

I wish most men would wear cologne. Good stuff. Not Brut or whatever lol.

I wear one thing....Scottish Heather

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. |
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 |
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

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. |
CK One

I wear no perfumes or colognes, I smell like nothing, I smell of nothing, I hate smelling like anything ...
I spray axe to prevent anything smelling like me to escape me ... |
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.
|
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.

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.

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. |
I adore the smell of old spice on a guy
|
While I don't use cologne, I do use Old Spice deodorant, and Old Spice body wash. Those keep me smelling just fine...
|
I'll wear the shirt you like if I can just come smell you :icare:
|
Deal! I'll wear a kilt too!

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

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

Old Spice

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. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...-The-Brave.jpg |
I can't believe I'm the only Lacoste user so far.

Add Realm for Men and Ungaro III, and that's it. I haven't been able to afford Himalaya in a while, and there was that unfortunate incident with the fake ... Quote:

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: |
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. |
I wear these:
http://www.bargainorama.ca/applicati...RESISTIBLE.jpg http://www.fatakasale.com/catalog/im...5C%27adore.jpg 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. |

I found a fantastic site for ordering fragrance off the interwebz. And I've looked all over comparing prices. You can order tester bottles for almost 1/2 the price of the foofoo bottles. But if you prefer the designer bottles on your dresser, I'm not sure how much you'll save here.
FragranceShop.com This deffo isn't my personal site but I'm not sure what the forum's guidelines for site plugging are. I'll take my chance lol. ---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ---------- Slight update - I just received my first order. I was expecting plain glass bottles. But in fact, they're the actual bottles minus the caps. I'm very pleased. |

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. |
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.
|
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.

Currently, I go back and forth between CO Bigelow's Bay Rum and an old bottle of Kenneth Cole Black (my wife says it reminds her of when we first started dating).
|
thanks for the Ungaro III recommendation. I was out with friends last night and my buddys wife grabs me and starts hugging and sniffing and telling him if he wants to have another kid hes gonna have to get whatever I'm wearing. I thought it was a lot funnier than he did.

I wear Liz Claiborne Mambo. I think it has a slight fruity essence to it, and it doesn't make me smell like old lady.

I still have my Samsara, Realm and Design, but you girls really need to smell this:
http://img.splendora.com/files/u22215/olivebranch.jpg 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. |
I have been wearing a few new ones lately, trying them out. So far, I like Faerie by Van Cleef & Arpels:
http://www.beautyandthedirt.com/wp-c...pel-faerie.jpg Success is a Job in New York by Bond No. 9: http://talkingmakeup.com/pics/news2/bond2.jpg as well as Coney Island from Bond No 9: http://images.teamsugar.com/files/us...eyIsland_0.jpg I recently got a sampler from Van Cleef that contains a Vanilla Orchid which is very nice: http://www.stylecaster.com/member_fi...f_arpels02.jpg |
