not crap if done sparingly.

i like demeter's cucumber. and sometimes i use demeter's dirt.

when it is cold & dry i don't need to use cologne as my elbows have some korres vanilla cinnamon body milk applied to them. and my throat often has laphroaig applied to it.

sometimes i am a dandy fop.

Over here we call it a "French shower"

placeholder, thanks for the demeter suggestion. they've got some crazy scents. i've decided on cedar and vetiver to start with. i think they might be a good combination as well as nice on their own.

Never owned any but sometimes put on a bit of my brothers before work if I've just gotten a bit sweaty on the drumkit and don't have time to shower.

On the whole I think perfume and aftershave is all bollocks. When I smell aftershave on a man I think "tosser" and when I smell perfume on a woman I think "period" (I mean when I can smell it from a few feet away).

I guess if people used them subtley it'd be ok but people seem to either use none or bathe in the stuff.

it should go without saying that subtlty is the name of the game when it comes to fragrances. i think they should only be noticeable to the person you're dancing with.

I only recently made a decision on this. I was talking to Kevin (JimmyJames) recently and noticed his cologne. Calvin Klein "Be" Is what I think it was.

Isn't the whole idea behind cologne getting fucked? I don't know how that's working out for him; but if I had 60 dollars to spend on that shit, I don't see how any woman could resist jumping my bones. That stuff was awesome.

Reasons I would wear it:

A) Received as a gift
B) Single and hittin' up the clubs
C) Out for a special night with my special lady

Not Crap, with waffles.

I've heard the proper amount is only enough to be detectable in an embrace, and who couldn't use more of those? So if I can detect yours, you are:

A. Too close
B. Over-applied

Cigar by some French outfit is my current choice; one spritz from about 2 feet away seems like enough, but I usually only wear it when I've got on my ultra-sexy ripped jeans and favorite rockband T-shirt.

My old roommate who never got laid once in five years purchased some cologne off the internet that supposedly had some kind of pheromones in it that would make you sexually irresistible to women. They guaranteed you would get laid wearing this stuff. He didn't get laid.
I still have the bottle in my bathroom, once and awhile I throw a few dabs on to see what happens. My wife instantly knows when I put it on and gets angry, she finds the scent not irresistible but repulsive instead. Not just 'that doesn't smell good' but 'God damn that shit fucking stinks, what the fuck is that?'
What was supposed to act as a wildly successful vagina magnet in effect works as a wildly successful vagina repellent.

I use Lacoste Essential Pour Homme (the green one)
