Spring's coming up, it's time to smell good again.


I bought these two for the rest of the year, though I have a feeling I'll buy more. Like saving up for some Creed Himalaya or something.

Burberry the Beat

Guerlain Homme

Both smell great and are pretty unique (though Beat was sold out at a bunch of stores, surprisingly.)


Post your cologne of choice

recycling is not cool, landfills FTMFW

I wear miller lite, ladies think I'm fine.

 

[Mamesj]

It's months old and didn't think it would be a problem to make a new one...

 

[newsguy]

I keep this one in my car for last minute plans (which they all seem to be nowadays)

 

[ALeperMessiah]

don't wear any. I just smell fantastic naturally.

 

[disco]

Creed Silver Mountain Water

or

Hermes

 

[daemonic]

But luckily both are almost done, I'm starting to get sick of them. Now looking for something a bit more musky/masculine. Any suggestions?

 

[Incognito]

Creed

word

i also sport john varvatos every now and then. but creed is my usual wear..

 

[GallonOMilk]

I generally switch off between Creed Himalaya and Green Irish Tweed for day-to-day wearing.

On special occasions, I'll put on the Millesime Imperial. Unmatched IMO.

Yeah, I do love Creed. They're pricey, but I have yet to find something better. On occasions when I feel like wearing something else, I'll use Lacoste Essential, but rarely, if ever.

Edit: Didn't realize people were posting pics. Here they are:

Aqua by Bulgari. I've honestly never worn anything that attracts as much attention as this does. I also occasionally rock Eau d'Issey and Chrome by Azzardi, but yeah... Bulgari Aqua is the shit. Went through 75ml in about 12 months :lol

 

[KR3W]

goddam.

 

[GallonOMilk]

goddam.

Actually, quite apart from the Creeds, I REALLY like this stuff, but it wears off in like 2 hours when I wear it :-(

Americans usually talk about cologne. Is cologne the same thing as perfume?

Anyway, this is what I use:

So. Good.

 

[jonnybryce]

I received it as a gift for highschool graduation. I never heard of it and figured it would suck. It smells amazing. It is the best cologne on this planet. Anything you're wearing is inferior to Hypnose.

I used this on and off for about a year (before I went exclusive with Hypnose). It does smell pretty awesome.

Only reason I bought it was because it was on clearance and it came with a cool tote bag. But I like it!

I rotate between a bunch:

A*men - A little on the strange side, being a gourmand, but women love the scent. It's unique, that's for sure.

L'eau d'Issey - Way too popular now, but still a great strong scent, especially for winter. Now that it's warming up though, this will likely gather some dust.

Patrick Dempsey: Unscripted - A gift from my aunt that works for Avon. I seriously considered pitching it on Ebay thinking it couldn't possibly be good, but I tried it and I enjoy it. Masculine with a hint of musk, but not overly so.

Paco Rabanne Black XS - Amazing scent, and women love it. The problem is that I can bathe in this stuff (we're talking 6-7 sprays) and it will still be gone a half-hour later. If this stuff had anything resembling longevity it'd be at the top of my list, and by all the review raves I wonder if I got a bad bottle.

 

[black_13]

The best.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

My scent is of Pot and Musk.

 

[Strike]

Mesmerize for Men

Chaps. Old Favorite.

Both serve their purposes pretty well.

 

[Luthair]

Vurt and Axelabs

 

[Rewrite]

The best.

I love that one so much. One of my favorites.

Also:

I love Mambo.

 

[Mœbius]

 

[BakedPigeon]

goddam.

LMAO @ the name change... jesus christ! I mean GODDAM!

 

[Raiden]

My GF got this one for me and i have been using it since, i like it.

 

[FunBoy]

Joop, universally loved by ladies everywhere.

 

[negitoro7]

Looking for something to replace the Cool Water, had it for many years and sick of it now.

 

[Cheeto]

 

[ShortBus]

The best.

Winner!

 

[kiryogi]

 

[blindrocket]

:lol I am intrigued at this.

Calvin Klein's Eternity has been my staple for over a decade.

I've been thinking of changing, I like the way Joop! smells and have thought about switching to that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off topic but here is what I just bought my wife, she's used this for over a decade as well. Expensive, but well worth it. A little goes a long way!

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

How much does this stuff cost and how long do the bottles last?

There are nearly three dozen bottles pictured in this thread, which one are you referring to?

 

[2DMention]

Guess what I wear.

Spoiler

Look at my custom rank. That's why most of you wear it, admit it

good choice i wear ralph lauren romance perfume for women:

i also sometimes wear "lauren" by ralph lauren, mostly out of habit. i bought it years ago because i thought it'd be cool to have a perfume with the same name as me. i really grew to like it, though:

i can get all the RL perfumes for super cheap, since my mom works for ralph lauren.

i also like j'adore by dior... hate the way the bottle looks though... and it's been a while since i bought it:

 

[Timedog]

i like drakkar noir because it makes me smell like a scumbag.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

XS - Paco Rabanne

Years ago I took a female friend of mine to come pick a cologne with me, the directive "find the cologne that makes you horny"

Been using it ever since, its fantastic.

 

[Cymbal Head]

I keep this one in my car for last minute plans (which they all seem to be nowadays)

I read the name of that as "Lactose." Now that's a cologne I'd like to try.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

/thread.

I use these exact two, good job.

 

[SundaySounds]

Seriously man, this is all you need.
"Smooth Blast" by old Spice is fucking fantastic.
I've been using old spice for years, it's never steered me wrong.

 

[lobdale]

I like this stuff. Got it from my lady for Christmas and it is very refreshing!

 

[Mamesj]

I wear Drakkar when I go out and break the windows of poor asian shopkeepers who didn't pay protection

How much does this stuff cost and how long do the bottles last?

They range and each kind comes in different sizes. Creed might be the most expensive stuff posted so far (but I'm not totally familiar with all of it...) Of the stuff I posted:

--2.7oz bottle of Guerlain Homme - retails at $80, but I got in on amazon for $55
--3.3oz bottle of Burberry the Beat - retails at $72 and I had to pay full price 'cause it just came out.
I also have a 2.5oz of Polo Black - retails at $51.99, got it for $35, I think.

The first two bottles will easily last at least the rest of the year and probably much longer. I do a spray or two before work and one spray when I'm not working. I've had the Polo Black for about a year and it's only half finished, I don't really wear it anymore now that I have this new stuff though.

Cologne doesn't really get discounted until it's been out for a while, after that you can find deals online. Stores like Neiman Marcus never discount the stuff, especially since the good scents tend to be timeless-- people just won't stop buying stuff by Polo, Burberry, Hugo Boss, Armani, etc. Some go out of style...I think Lagerfield Photo, Drakkar Noir, and Brut all used to be more popular in the 80s/90s.
