I feel for your mother. People really ought to learn how much scent to wear (a little goes a long way).

my all time favorite is hugo - hugo boss.
and sometimes black - kenneth cole.
i personally find hugo to be the most masculine smell ever.
in manhattan, the club/bar scene is mostly saturated with aqua di gio on men and cool water on women. you can literally go to any gay club and come out smelling nice aqua di gio all your body and save some money.

I agree with this. It wouldn't be a problem if people wore enough to be noticeable to a person dancing or hugging them. It shouldn't be applied as if you're trying to lure someone from across the room. Originally Posted by TwiloMike

This is a pretty decent site for reviews of various fragrances. Obviously no replacement for going to a store and trying things out, though:

We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesn’t realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.

One of the best smelling is called Black Leather.
I have some sitting here and Im not even sure where it came from, but I use it all the time. Ive gotten a few compliments as well.
Dont ask me who makes it though, because I have no idea. Where it came from and how I got it still mystifies me.

Just like a Starter Jacket, or Oakley M frames or slap bracelets..Cologne is a tangible marketed item....Old spice anybody? Brut? Originally Posted by fatrb38

Nothing "elitist" about it.
it is perception in after all.
Here ; Aqua di Gio is associated with Russian scumbags in leather jackets.
I love the stuff personally..i just can't bring myself to wear it due to the image I have of those who do.Out of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

To be honest, I hesitated slightly last time I bought a bottle for this very reason. Funny thing is, it doesn't seem that many guys are wearing it much any more (or maybe they just learned two 1-2 spritzes are plenty) at clubs...about 3-4 years ago it was ubiquitous. Originally Posted by Hatred

Here are some suggestions for a man with refined taste:
For a spring/summer light scent: Happy for Men (Clinique)
Another warm weather scent: Vera Wang for Men
A favorite colder weather scent: Romance Silver by Ralph Lauren
Another great colder weather scent: John Varvatos
And one last warm to medium weather: Essenza de Zegna
All are very good scents but will cost you a bit. They're not available at Wal-mart or at least I don't think they are. Someone let me know if they are cause I'm down with saving money.Currently studying 20 hours a day with 2 hours for exercise and then 2 to sleep.

Going out of style due to being overused is one thing..but calling someone a tool just for wearing it is another. Originally Posted by Hatred

Unless those two coworkers and the manager are all hot chicks, their compliments don't count.

cologne is foo-foo water.
Its perfume, and men are just too insecure to call it by what it is."In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination." -Mark Twain

lmao, personally I wear Hugo by Hugo Boss and I love the stuff. I've gotten countless compliments (a few from hot chicks as well, lol). Another common one that I've heard girls say they like is Fierce.

This is one of those things that if you were to hear it in person, you'd laugh and go "Yeah I completely agree," but inside you are torn somewhere inbetween punching the guy saying in the face or going to the bathroom and crying.. Originally Posted by Hatred

Of course I have the Hugo Boss and Polo Sport in the rotation as well.

whats a good cologne that is suttle. My gucci noble ran out so i'm looking for something new, any suggestions? I dont want something that you can smell from a mile away, something that that is noticable at close range, like if a girl brushes by at the bar i want her to turn around and take a sniff instead of kneeing me in the balls because i have a rocket in my poket.

I've used original obsession, and found it to be too much of a sweet smell - I haven't tried "Night". Originally Posted by accuFLEX

deodorant is about as smelly as I get... I can't even stand the suffocating smell of fabric softener.
