It depends on your likes and dislikes. Also, everyone\'s skin chemistry is different , so something that smells good on me might smell like poo on you.
Even with suggestions, you are going to need to sample the ones that sound good before you buy.

I happen to like Crabtree & Evelyn\'s Mysore Sandlewood.

Good luck!!

Lscread,

The BEST cologne to wear is the
one you have on while talking to
some friendly, attractive and
interesting women /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

NOT just salespeople.
Ask \"civillian\" women who can give you an
objective opinion.

Why not actually TALK WITH WOMEN and
ASK THEM what colognes are their favorites.

Then smell and test each one---get free samples or
spray a tester and experiement.

How does it make you feel? Do you like the scent?
How well do women react?

Some colognes I have smell FANTATIC to me,
yet few people like them. So I wear them once in
a while because I like them.

Other colognes I wear because I have gotten
AMAZING results---compliments, friendly behavior
from others, respect, and of course SEX.

Some colognes tend to make me motivated and
work no matter what the weather is like.

Part of the fun with Pheros and colognes is the
PLAYFUL EXPERIMENTATION

\"The true treasure is not the Journey, it\'s the PROCESS,
which can be used over and over for you to get all the things
you want most in life.\"

There are differences in brands. I\'ve come to the conclusion that only the highest quality, old-line brands are worthwhile. Most mass market colognes are a mess of chemicals in alcohol.

The old fashioned way to make perfume is to use essential oils - natural products. These are much richer and complex, having co-evolved with the human species.

That said, I\'m a great fan of the House of Creed. They have a broad range of products so one or another will work for you. They are expensive per bottle but it only takes a dab so are economical in the long run. There is the celebrity factor too - when asked about a fragrance you\'re wearing, it\'s great fun to reply \"This was Frank Sinatra\'\'s favorite too.\" (Taberome) or maybe \"This was formulated just for the King of Saudi Arabia.\" (Imperial Millesime)

Cologne is an article of clothing in one sense so that Shakespeare\'s words apply

\"Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy.

But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy;

For the apparel oft proclaims the man.\"

Like Icemone said, enjoy the process.

If the price of the Creed perfumes is an indication of the quality, then they must be very good! $138 for a 75 ml bottle for most of their perfumes, that is 3 times as much as the \"mass market\" perfumes. :0

No, but Whitehall\'s telling the absolute truth about how little it takes. My favorite Creed is Fleurissimo, it was created for Grace Kelly to wear on her wedding day and it was her signature scent, not released to the public until five years after her death (they do have cool stories behind them) - it\'s a floral, so you would think light, at least lighter than an oriental. It CARRIES and it LASTS. If I use the phone when I\'m wearing it behind my ears, the phone receiver will smell like it after I put it down, even when I put it as much as eight hours before - and that\'s the EDT, not the Eau de Parfum or perfume. Honestly, one spray will do you all day. So a bottle could last you well over a year. Spread the cost of a bottle over say, 18 months -- that\'s not a bad price per month for something so fine.

But I do understand the initial outlay\'s a little daunting. I buy it for myself for my birthday/Christmas present to me. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

OK, don\'t use their products.

BTW, I never have to pay that much! One can find much better deals on eBay.

\"OK, don\'t use their products\"

I like exclusive things and if the stuff is worth the money I will try it. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

Hi,



First of all, I looked through a number of older posts, including:

What I am wondering is which men's cologne: (1)

would be a good cover for an unscented -mone product; (2) be a good cologne by itself; (3) be appropriate at work;

(4) is not too strong -- won't smell across the room; (5) no weird smell; (6) is romantic yet masculine and (7)

sophisticated but not arrogant

Thank you

I own many bottles (80+) of

different high quality colognes including four different bottles of Creed I acquired early in my fragrance journey.

I would not buy them again which to me is a test of a good fragrance.

Creed IMO is grossly over priced, has poor

longevity and is uninspired.

A little digging will reveal that they have been in existence for many years but

only making fragrances relatively recently (although to hear them say it they created fragrances, lol).

They have

a rabid fan base (not all, but many) that believe the marketing propaganda spewed out by the company and many feel

elitist by wearing Creed (I mean how elite can you be wearing something you can buy from Costco?)

If you want to

try one of their most popular fragrances, try Cool Water by Davidoff (almost identical to Green Irish Tweed). It is

created by the same "nose" and will not cost you a limb.

Sample the fragrances first before buying, you won't

regret it.

Good luck and have fun.\o/

Scent is HIGHLY personal, and any

suggestion here has a 50/50 chance of being a good one for you. Take Diverdown's advice and sample extensively

before plunking down any money.

1. Any scent that you like will be good on its own or as a -Mone cover. Buy

unscented -Mones.

2. You can control strength by the amount you apply.

3. Romantic, masculine, sophisticated

etc are part of the "highly personal" part. :)

4. As DD said, forget marketing hype.

5. Buy what you like

and/or get compliments on.

Personally when going with

expensive (ish) colognes I like Drakkar Noir. But I honestly have never had a complaint with a quick spray or two of

Axe. I know alot of women who actually like Axe.

I've been on a many month long

testing project of the various fragrances I've collected over the years.

Basically it just comes down to what

you like, what works for you. There are positives and negatives, and so far I've not found anything outstanding.

And price has little to do with it. Same for the name/manufacturer/distributor.

Of the 30 or so I've tried so

far (including various scented pheromone products) only one has gotten a solid thumbs down from both me and my

"scent test subjects" (Phero Boy: Super). As mentioned, none have gotten a solid overwhelming positive. Most have

been rated "okay" or "average."

About the only thing I *think* I can say with some certainty is that the

oil-based products seem to have a longer "duration" than the water or alcohol-based products.

However, it may

actually be better to have a fragrance that lasts only about as long as the pheromones do, if you are using it as a

cover. This way you can "refresh" or re-apply the cover and the pheromones at the same time without one overwhelming

the other.

Remember what works for me and those I use to test sniff may NOT work for you or your

targets.

This

thread was written in 2002. Seven years old..http://img.imagebaskets.com/img/u/R.gif

And the

fascination and usefulness of scent is thousands of years old.

I'll get sucked into the commercial scent game

with the following suggestions:

Acqua di Parma - classic day scent
Hermes Orange Verte (day) or Bel Ami

(night)
Caron Third Man (anytime)
Chanel Anteus (sexy night)
Rabanne La Nuit (ultra sexy animalic night)

The

above scents only scratch the surface of good possibilities beyond the norm, and you may have to search beyond the

Macy's frag counter, but its worth the effort if you want a great scent. Ebay is a good source.

Thank you

What's the best

way to sample -- do high-end dep't stores let you get a spray? Is there some other

way?

IMO the BEST way to sample is to

actually wear the fragrance you want to check out. If you can do so one at a time it's good. And you should wear it

and check it over the course of a whole day.

Spraying into the air and sniffing or spraying/applying on to one

of those little paper cards some places use will give you a hint, but won't tell you how it's going to sit with

your skin/body chemistry. Wearing/trying more than one at a time can be confusing. And seeing how the product works

over time is important as well, as you work your way through the initial top notes, into the middle notes, and

finally the bottom notes. Plus you want to see just how long the stuff lasts.

Yes it can take a heck of a lot

of time. Sometimes you can buy small samplers. I picked up a couple of sample sprays at local Target store for $1

each (and they included a $3 off coupon for the product). I've also seen samplers available from some manufacturers

(check web sites) and sometimes you can find sampler sets on places like eBay.

There are others, but this is an

established and reliable "decanter" of higher-end fragrances. You can get samples at pretty reasonable

prices.
