Hello,
I have been reading this forum for a year (preferred to sit and watch) and used various mones from love
scent during that time. I have only recently discovered the benefits of the cover scents. The 2 I have used last a
long time and smell good (had good smell comments while also wearing mones). The two I have used are Polo Black and
J.P. Gaultier.
Can anybody describe the smell of the others (i.e.
masculine/musky/metrosexual/light/young/smooth/similar to other cover scents etc.)? Do they smell similar to the
originals? They are:
Dolce&Gabbanna
Issey Miyake
Black Code
Kenneth Cole Black
Swiss
Army
Chrome
212
Ralph
360 Red
Reaction
Comments from cover scent users and original scent users would be
much appreciated.

I am horrible at descibing
smells but I will say that the cover scents smell pretty close to the original colognes if you are able to go to the
store and smell them. The big difference is that they are very oily instead of an alchohol base. I don't know if
this helps but I tried. LOL

the problem with copycat cover
scents is they do not contain any of the original ingrediants of the original colognes, therefore copy cover scents
dont have a top note or a middle not or base note, they smell similar however the scent disapears almost immediatly
and is replaced with a cheap ethanol scent
hence the difference in price

Normally I
would agree with you but recently I orderen myself three coverscents..
And I was really amazed because the Dolce &
Gabbanna really lasts a long time and is a little powerfull as I like..
I just tested it on my wrist but 4 hours
later i could still smell it without having to get my wrist up to my noze.. I was truly amazed but..
If you buy a
normal prof. scent instead of these cover scents the smell will most likely also change a little over time.. This is
something the producers do because of your smell changes during time, and therefor the smell must change also.. It
aint much but the magic is in there..
But cvrw6 I ordered
Dolce & Gabanna
Polo Black
Black Code
Black Code
has a very light smell to it.. Very sweet and to me a little girly.. Not something for me I must admit..
Then
there's the Polo Black.. A little more powerfull and more masculine in the smell.. But is has a little sweetnes
hidden also, but in this I think it gives a good supplement to the smell..
And at last Dolce & Gabanna.. Very
powerful strong scent wich I like.. I dont like a scent a quickly fades away.. I want one that people can smell, and
also because of if people can smell it and they like it they take an ekstra long sniff and helps with the pheroes I
believe..
Actually it smells a little like.. You know when you take a stick from the christmas three and put on
fire.. The chrisstmas smell (not the smoke-smell)
is very strong and refreshing.. I think Dolce & Gabanna is the
same type but just with a different scent to it..

Thankyou. I agree with Working Man. The cover scents last a long time (getting up till going to sleep). I have
Polo Black which is very nice -masculine and sweet as you said. May try D&G.
Any other users try the others?
What do they smell like?

I have tried D&G which I
like a lot and the izzy which is so/so. Like I said previously I don't explain smell very well but D&G is long
lasting and powerful where izzy is very mild.

You got that right..! It's a strong smell
but not annoying and it's one of those when people walk by you and they have it on, you notice and cant avoid
smelling it, so I think it will be a good cover to get the pheroes with the cover and make people sniff/smell it..
But it's not like those guys that put on 2Liters and stink of their cologne! :rant:
But it's just a nice
powerfull masculine smell that people notice without being in a bad way..
But of course ifyou put half the bottle
on it might not be in the good way anymore they notice it.. hehe
