A nice light topic.

Do you guys wear cologne, and if so, what kind?

I rotate between a few. Polo Safari is nice. I also really like John Varvatos original.

My wife bought me Varvatos Artisan but I don't like that as much.

In the past I've used Fahrenheit and Polo original and had women on the street compliment me on my scent.

I wear a lot for sure. Admin at my office told me to tone down once but I'm partner now so I don't have to listen to her anymore ;)

I've worn others too but too many to list.

So who here wears and what do you wear?

No. Most people find it odd if they smell it on a man. I have one bottle of some D&G cologne and I only wear it for very formal occasions.

I don't see what the difference is supposed to be in wearing cologne, body spray, smelling like soap, or any other clean smell. Shampoo has an odor. Even suntan lotion does.

I don't currently have any, but I do wear Drakkar Noir when I dress up, like for church.

What's with the cologne hate? Is it wrong to smell good? I guess you guys hate attracting women. As long as you aren't wearing "cherry blossoms" I think cologne is acceptable.

I wear Armani Black Code and Guess Man. I've had success with Burberry for Men, Polo Double Black, Kenneth Cole Black/Reaction. I also had a sample of the Ferrari?(It was named after a car) and it was the bomb. For every day use I just spray on some Adidas Moves or some of the cheap Axe Phoenix spray.

There is a fine line between wearing it and wearing too much. I hate being stuck somewhere with a man who bathes in cologne. If you can smell them 50 feet away it's way too much.

I personally have never used any cologne....personal preference

Yeah Drak and Polo green are old school but they classics.

I always like to wear the same brand after shave and cologne together so the scents do not clash.

I wear it even when home alone, I feel nude without it.

It is ignorant to think only homosexuals wear cologne.

I'll wear cologne when I feel it's appropriate, normally a couple of times a month.

They way I figure it, if Winston Churchill and Ronald Regan felt okay wearing cologne, then I shouldn't have any qualms either. With that though, I only wear it when I have a reason to dress like them (minus the WC bowtie).

i can't stand cologne. Mainly because most people don't know how to wear it. It is supposed to be a personal scent - something your wife/girlfriend gets a faint whiff of when intimately close. Unfortunately, people tend to spray multiple pumps, or think it needs to go on in multiple locations over their body.

Secondly, I think it is polarizing. My guess is that at least 50% of the world doesn't want to smell cologne on a man - and i think I am being generous here (probably closer to 70%). Of the rest who do like cologne, they tend to have very distinct opinions of what they like & don't like. The end result is that you end up with a small percentage of people who like what you smell like (or that you smell at all).

As far as comparing it to soap or shampoo, that is not accurate. Soap and shampoo do not stay with you all day the way cologne does.

Another thing... It is estimated that 55% of the world population has some form of allergies (me included). I literally can not be in the same room with someone wearing too much cologne or my eyes start watering & I start sneezing.

As far as cologne attracting women... I don't buy it. Women are attracted to men for many different reasons, but your faux-scent will not be something to win a girl over. If a girl is into you she will like whatever you wear. If a girl is not into you, she will think you smell like a player.

But, if you want to be a GUIDO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4btEFmdAw0) , be sure to spritz some... you know... down there.

What the difference if your smell comes from soap and deodorant or a bottle of cologne.

Not every person who wears cologne wears so much that you can smell it a mile away.

What the difference if your smell comes from soap and deodorant or a bottle of cologne.The difference is that soap and deodorant is invariably muted in its strength and scent. The idea is to not be smelled at all and if you are smelled for some odd reason to smell "fresh."

So your idea of cologne is "all or nothing".

No one in the history of time has ever mastered using cologne in moderation. Everyone uses in excess.

And sorry, the deodorants you find on any store smell much more like cologne than they do soap.

I wear cologne all the time and never got a complaint from any woman. As a matter fact, it's quite the opposite. I work in an office with plenty women everyday and I'm always getting compliments from the ladies about how good I smell, and has also lead to some very generous deeds after the work. Some even ask me what I have on so they can go buy it for their boyfriend/husband. The only people who complain are the men that aren't getting any generosity, but I could care less what they think.

I got out of the habit of wearing cologne in medical school because most hospitals adopted a no-scents policy around that time.

I used to wear Drakar noir and one by Perry Ellis (light blue in colour, forget the name now).

In terms of how much to wear, I used to do the spray it once in the air in front of me and then walk through it technique.

I think this conversation is pretty funny. I knew this one guy that took the stance that a lot of you on here are taking about not wearing cologne. He would say things like "real men don't wear cologne" and was cynically obsessed with being a "manly-man." It wasn't until I saw his girlfriend that I actually figured the guy out, because she looked more like Barbie Carpenter than a Barbie doll. I guess he was obsessed with manly-women, too.

So I'll stick to my cologne and continue to get compliments from beautiful women all day long while guys like him walk around smelling like motor oil all day and go home to women that look and act like themselves.

I rarely wear cologne but when I do it's Aramis. Back when I was a man about town in Dallas, the only place you could get it was N-M but that's probably changed by now.

Don't need it out on the ranch; my current bottle I got in the 1980s and it will probably last me a few more years.

It will cover any undesireable scent and do it with dignity.

I remember a firm client came into my office once as her young son crawled into it and said, I guess he came here because of how nice the office smelled (meaning my cologne). I have had women on the street tell me how great my cologne was.

Hey, to each his own. If you don't want to wear any, fine but I feel naked without cologne on.

I'm still trying to figure out how the human race propagated itself for millions of years without the benefit of cologne. Seems .. impossible.

I heard not wiping your *** after you **** is an equal substitute for wearing cologne.

I would assume that is the reason why cologne was invented the same day as toilet paper and countries that use bidets are traditionally non-cologne wearing.

(yes, made it all up)

Used to wear obsession.

Then Joop.

Now on the rare occasions that I wear cologne, I wear royal copenhagen.


The scent of chew does have a certain Je ne sais quoi charm to it.

Have never worn it. Conjures up images of swarthy disco types with gold chains and open shirts.


Slate would throw his bottle of Obession at you for that comment!

Kilyin wears Escape occasionally and it is delicious on him.

The key is not bathing in it.

A nice light topic.

Do you guys wear cologne, and if so, what kind?

I rotate between a few. Polo Safari is nice. I also really like John Varvatos original.

My wife bought me Varvatos Artisan but I don't like that as much.

In the past I've used Fahrenheit and Polo original and had women on the street compliment me on my scent.

I wear a lot for sure. Admin at my office told me to tone down once but I'm partner now so I don't have to listen to her anymore ;)

I've worn others too but too many to list.

So who here wears and what do you wear?

No, 99.999% of them stink. They choke me up when I put them on. The only cologne that I own and actually can wear in very light doses is "Very Sexy". My wife (who is the same way as I and doesn't wear perfume) bought it for me one day. She said it's the only one that didn't smell like garbage and the scent wasn't so strong it would choke you up when you put it on. She was right. I still only wear it maybe once a year and only when her and I go out for dinner and maybe a jazz bar in the city.

For the life of me I do not understand people who choose to douse themselves in aromas. Subtle use here and there I can tolerate and in rare situations maybe even enjoy. But its the exception, not the rule.

Then there are the scents that some choose. Really? You think that is somehow enjoyable for someone?

I work with a woman who violates both of the above. Very pretty, professional, accomplished woman. But she wears a scent that to me is atrocious in any dosage and sometimes pours it on very thick. I've been in meetings with her where I was literally sick afterwards.

To me though, there are few offenses as great as people that wear cheap cologne. You're better off taking a shower and using deodorant than cheap cologne.

I use cologne every now and then. I'm a one spritz guy so a bottle can last me years.

Currently on a bottle of The One by Dolce and Gabbana that my fiance purchased. Before that, I had a bottle of Black Code by Armani that I also liked in moderation.

To each his own, but I never get the point of trying to color the smell of an entire room with your fragrance of choice. Be you a man or woman.

I wear cologne occasionaly if I go to a club/bar, mainly to cover the second hand smoke smell. But God theres nothing worse than waking up the next morning and still smelling that cologne.

As far as cologne going bad, this chick i dated back in the early 90's, her grandmother gave me some Preffered Stock for Christmas; its in my bathroom cabinet now and smells the same.
