oasisfancortes Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Thinking about getting a new cologne, any suggestions? Preferably one that makes you think "DAMN, now that's what a REAL MAN smells like!"
thinman Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Anything Coolwater, or Very Sexy for Men. I always get complimented when I wear either. Just don't shower in the sh*t, lol.
BloomManifesto Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 My brother used to wear a cologne from Aeropostale. He might still, we live in different cities now, but when we both lived at home I used to borrow it and it smelled really good. He's also really manly, so no fears about it not be a manly man's cologne.
MonsterMash Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I've found that Fierce or Aqua di Gio seems to make the panties melt. YMMV.
FitChick Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Whatever you use, use very little of it. Even if you can't smell it on yourself, everyone else can.
2sure Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Creed. Buy it, it's amazing. We all love it. Dior is mid priced..I love it. Armani is reasonably priced and an excellent option.
denise_xo Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I prefer the natural scent of a (clean) man - THAT is what a real man smells like to me 2
spiderowl Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Don't know the names of any guy's colognes, apart from the old one my dad used to wear, but I really love the wood scents like cedar and sandalwood. I would say go for something with those in it and something light, not overwhelming.
Imported Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Creed: Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain. The real stuff, not the coolwater crap they try to pass off as Creed GIT Dolce&Gabban light and blue, Locosta Essential
CarrieT Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Whatever you buy, avoid Calvin Klein's OBSESSION. Smells like bug spray and is beyond offensive. I've hated most colognes on men with the exception of L'Occitane's Cade. 1
TaraMaiden Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Yes, I agree. 'Obsession' is stomach-churningly revolting, as is Brut33, Old Spice or lynx. Hugo Boss Natural Cologne for Men, or Joop Homme are both terrific, in my opinion.
Ross MwcFan Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 I'm really liking the idea of the new 007 aftershave. Yeah it may sound cheesy or tacky, but I don't care, I think the name sounds pretty cool. And the description of the scent sounds like it'd be really nice.
Hawaii50 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Perfume/cologne is personal, and varies from person to person... in my opinion. I think sweeter cologne compliment my natural scent
2sure Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Perfume/cologne is personal, and varies from person to person... in my opinion. I think sweeter cologne compliment my natural scent Varies quite a bit, yes! The best way to choose a scent is to put in on and then see of you or others like it in an hour. Smelling it on a paper or on someone else gives not much indication of what it will smell like on you. With experience you will know, like this man does, what works best for you. I'm from Buffalo too by the way.

ThaWholigan Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Given that I don't really spend my pittance on much outside of food - there hasn't been much scope to try out different colognes but I have had some good ones. My favorite is probably Diesel - it complements my natural smell really well. Lotus was also really good but they don't make those anymore. I recently got IN2U by Calvin Klein, and I like it so far. Still prefer Diesel though. Lynx Africa is an able back-up deodorant (the shower gel is better), although recently my Dad introduced me to Pitrok, which is an odorless deodorant that makes your sweat......well, odorless.
whatheheckhappened Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Acqua Di Gio. light, clean and crisp. been using it for years.
Imported Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Creed Aventus. I got the 4.oz bottle yesterday. Next cologne I buy will be the flacon bottle of Aventus for $750ish.
