Stuie Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 So I haven't actually bought cologne since 1999. Last one I bought is no longer in business. Over the years people have just given my cologne they didn't want anymore from Brut, to Axe, to CK and a whole bunch of others. So now I am totally out. So guys what do you use or like? Ladies more than happy to get your opinion, too. My wife doesn't care as long as it doesn't smell like Boss, she wasn't a big fan of that one.

Chreees Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 My favs are Perry Ellis 360 and Calvin Klein Eternity. I get compliments on them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 What do you like or not like? I have "Attitude" and "Code" by Armani both of those are pretty good. I have one by Gap but I don't know exactly which one. It's a light sent that is better for more casual occasions. Do you wear cologne everyday or just when you get all dolled up? If you want to save a few bucks, get the knock offs, they usually smell the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I don't know what I like, literally i have been getting stuff for free for over a decade and my cheap self didn't care as long as I didn't smell like BO. I may stop by a couple places tonight and give these a smell. Keep them coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrSmokes Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Check out the Usher cologne. I've gotten compliments about that. I still and always will like the original Michael Jordan cologne. So many people have coolwater and curve. American crew and swiss army are also good. Out of all of those, my wife tells me coolwater reminds me of her dad, curve reminds her of middle and hs, and that she really likes Usher and MJ.

Nerdy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Kenneth Cole vintage black is awesome as well as diesel for the brave. Dior Fahrenheit. Joop is fucking sexy. Curve crush is a clean smell. Hani mori is another one that is great. Burberry Brit. I highly suggest trying these out as it will smell different on everyone. Happy shopping.

Hassouni Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme Versace PH those are my two standbys, supplemented with: Guerlain PH Hermès Concentré d'Orange Verte Paco Rabanne PH D&G is the most distinctive and ALWAYS gets complimented (the Hermès is even more distinctive but not easy to find) I'm hoping to find some Acqua di Parma, but I don't even know if it's sold in the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasbahBazaar Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) My top 2 in rotation right now: 'Gucci' by Gucci- Modern masculine fragrance; casual yet carrying lavish notes of woods, blossoms, and tobacco Dolce & Gabbana: The One Gentleman- Masculine, opulent, and sophisticated. Reserved for formal dates, weddings, church, and the like. Floral notes are most prevalent when first sprayed but with a little air the masculinity shines through in a barrage of cedar and spice. Both are very distinctive and are sure to get compliments. Edited October 11, 2012 by KasbahBazaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 the ones i have are Ralph Lauren Black and Ralph Lauren Green. both are great. basically anything from RL i fully endorse. same foes for Lacoste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 So the wife and I went to Dillard's to scope out some of these. After a while my nose was just worn out. Doir Fahrenheit was awesome very woodsy Dolce & Gabana The One Gentlemen completely awesome Versaci for Men was up there too Kenneth Cole Vintage Black was just all around awesome Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme Subtly musky and airy These are my tops so far. I haven't tried all the ones people suggested. Never made to the Polo, RL or Lacoste sections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Once you find out exactly what you want Stu, I suggest buying online. You can find much better deals. I need to re-up soon on my Perry Ellis 360 and Calvin Klein Eternity, and found that ljshopping.net has really good prices on both. Also gonna get some Davidoff Cool Water to try out, and probably order some Lucky for the wife. Also check eBay; good prices there as well. Really, I'd just do a Google Shopping search and see what the best price is, checking out the seller's or site's reviews first before ordering, of course. That's how I found ljshopping.net (they have good reviews). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
