I am a (very)

big fan of Hugo Boss, I love to smell of it and girls go all wobbly at the knees aswell.

But I am constantly

thinking that I need some change, at least some kind of variation. I am always trying out different colognes, but I

can never find anything that I like as much, until yesterday.

I found myself dragging my g/f to the cologne

section again, on the premise that if I bought anything she could get points on her store card

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif But she was convinced that nothing could beat HB. I had to agree,

until I picked up the Platinum Egoist tester bottle. Damn that stuff smells good! My g/f thought it was pretty good,

but wasnt amazed, but I liked it so much I bought it.

We were going to a friends birthday meal, so we went back

to my house so I could get changed. I thought I would give Platinum a test run, and put on a small amount of pheros

and covered with 1 spray of Platinum to each side of my neck, and one between my wrists and one on my chest (under

two layers of clothing). I went downstairs and got her to smell it, she said it smelled really nice, subtle but

nice. To cut to the chase, she then got very horny, so we went back upstairs...

In short, Platinum has made two

new big fans this weekend (although I\'m not sure that it beats HB...). It is very subtle, and yet when you catch

a whiff it really grabs you. Over time it changes to something \"very yummy\" (from the g/f).

yeah, I

quote you... Platinum Egoist does smell great!

By the way, what do you guys think about the cologne Le Male? I

read that it is one of the best (there are some threads here about it, as you probably know), but honestly when I

\"sniffed\" it from the bottle, it didn\'t seem too pleasant. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Would I be wrong about that? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif (for those who use Le Male)

It is either

love or hate with Le Male. Personally I can\'t stand the vanilla scent either.

Le Male has to

be put on very lightly (less is more once again I guess...). I still like it (not as much as I used too) but it is

way too popular. I don\'t want to wear something everyone else wears.

Let\'s be honest too! Why do you wear a

fragrance? To be more attractive, right? As so many men wear Le Male, I don\'t think it\'s very unlikely to meet

girls who have had lovers wearing it, and I don\'t want to them to be put of because I wear it too (after all

something probably went wrong), or have the scent ON ME remind them of someone else. I tend to go for niche

scents.

To me, scent is also more than just an attraction \"device\". I wouldn\'t wear a cologne that drives

girls mad while I totally hate it.

The one that

(annoyingly) seems to have no name.

It might be called \"Boss\", or \"Boss Bottled\", but when

I\'ve said this to people they have no idea what I am talking about. People just seem to call it Hugo

Boss.

It\'s in a clear bottle (shaped like an actual bottle) with Boss in raised letters on the side, and the

liquid is a pale yellow.

Does anyone know what it\'s called?

Ah, yes. Got it

now. It\'s \"Boss.\" I was confused for a minute, as there\'s also one called \"Hugo.\" But no \"Hugo

Boss.\"

Thanks Cpt.

Cpt,

Basenotes

lists 10 different Hugo Boss fragrances for men and shows the bottle types for each. Can\'t seem to link straight

to the Boss page though, so here\'s the home page:

www.basenotes.net (\"http://www.basenotes.net\")



There are even phero products listed on there nowadays. Check out the selections from the \"Fragrance Houses\"

of LaCroy and Stone Research Labs.

I looked on

Basenotes and found \"James Bond\" cologne. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif Is that anything

like \"Dick And Balls?\"
