Best Cologne on the market

[top_dawwgs]

Any

opinions?
Not talking pheromones, just best outright colognes.

[deadlyx]

I get compliments on VS Very

sexy for him all the time.

[real_wiseman]

Thierry Mugler "Cologne" and

"B*Men" are good.
YSL M7 and YSL Rive Gauche are hits too IMHO.

Some of my personal favorites for now -


Gendarme - good year round, but I like this one especially for intimate evenings...very subtle scent. Girls love

this one.
Diesel Zero Plus - great for fall and winter.
Spark - deep fragrance and like Diesel Zero + it's

better for cooler temperatures. It almost smells edible.
Le Male - pretty versatile
Weekend At Burberry's - good

for warmer weather.
Liquid Amber - a body oil from R-expo. Best worn in cooler weather.

Great Topic to discuss

Top_Dawwgs!!!

Well chosen! I personally have tried alot of different colognes, as I'm sure most of us have.

Currently I have probably over 40 different ones, some dating back to middle school, unfortunately alot of them I

never use, the result of impulse buys and ironically, reccomendations from others. As I'm sure you are aware, as

with mones what might work very well for one could easily have the opposite effect for another. With that in mind,

it is advised to sample these before you decide to purchase, otherwise you may end up like me, with money down the

drain and bunch of expensive "junk". Moving forward, here are the "Top Fourteen" that personally have worked well

for me and I've continued in my collection along with others I'd like to add(denoted by

So there you have it an "ALL STAR" line up, IMHO.

In all seriousness though, these are just my personal preferences, I can tell already that there will be some who

read this that completely disagree with me and that's ok too but I 've gotten many compliments on all of these

from a variety of women. Just go with what works for you. If I can make a suggestion, one way that I've found to

really be efficious when shopping for cologne is to print out or write out a list of "prospective choices" you may

have, then go to your local mall department store and spray w/ their testers those little cards they give out, helps

to label them, but that way you can take them home and after the scent has had a chance to settle, you will get a

much more accurate sense of the true scent.(I made alot of mistakes buying right after spraying, lesson learned)

After you've determined what you like and dislike, don't bother purchasing from the department stores as they are

completely over priced, online now days there are name brand whole salers where you can get real name brands at the

fraction of the cost. I personally have been going through www.fragrancex.com

for some time but I do know that there are other wholesalers out there with comparable pricing as well, just make

sure they explicitly state that they are 100% authentic. Although I am a newbie to mones, I do have experience with

colognes and I believe it is safe to say, "There's nothing like a great cologne, to go with a great mone." So best

of luck to you and to everyone else!! Please feel free to ask any quetions as I will more than glad to assist where

I can.

[surfs_up]

the definitive website for anything and everything

is:

http://basenotes.net/index.html

They don't discuss pheromones. There is the worlds

greatest concentration of scent knowledge about consumer products in one location. Goods I have never heard of,

esoteric aromas, common products. Their most discussed brand may be Creed. Literally hundreds of choices, straight

fragrances, gay fragrances, day time, evening, simple and clean, dark and complex... YSL M7 receives decidedly mixed

reviews, some love it, others can't relate at all

see for yourself. life is too short for crappy self

presentation.

Whats the cologne Aqua di gio

or something like that? Ive heard alot of ppl say very good things about this one. I was thinking about purchasing

that one. I have tried very sexy for men from VS. Good scent too. I didnt realize how many good colognes were on the

market. Keep the opinions coming.

[top_dawwgs]

Oh yeah im 20 years old also.

Just incase that helps. Id like something with a scent that girls my age would instantle love!!!

Make a list, get thee to a Sephora (or any department store), and smell for

yourself.

Take into account that what synergizes well with someone else's skin chemistry may reek havoc (no

pun intended) with your own.

Summer- House of Creed
All

round- Kenneth Cole Black
Winter- Pi
Anytime - Versace the Dreamer, Hani Moori

Classics: CK1, Paul

Sebastian, Tsar, Escada

I have a bottle of Aqua Di Gio, but it irritates my throat, not to mention it smells

like a grapefruit.

[Numanoid]

There are some colognes I want

to try but just haven't gotten to yet - Sandalo, Cristobal and Body Kouros in particular. I hear they're

awesome.

I can't speak to Sandalo, but owning both Cristobal and Body Kouros, I can kick in my

two scents. (thank you ladies and gents.. I'll be appearing the next two nights at..)

Cristobal is

different, but not quite unique. If you know Very Valentino, you know Cristobal's little brother. I like it, but

that being said, they serve different purposes. VV is good for everyday. Cristobal is something I wear when I want

my cologne to scream.

BK is quickly becoming one of my favorites.. It's one of few powdery scents I can

stomach on myself. With the weather turning, I'll be turning to it more in the coming months.

[top_dawwgs]

Anyone around the same age as

me? Id be curious as to what your favorite cologne is and how the women react to it.

[top_dawwgs]

Did a litttle searchin on the

net. Looks like Bellagio For Men By Micaelangelo is a very very good scent which the women love. Anyone tried this

one? Im leaning towards this.. or Very Sexy

[nitekids]

my fav's are

Davidoff Cool

Water
Hugo Boss Dark Blue
Armani Mania

[Friendly1]

Amouage Dia
Creed
Jaipur

[DCW]

Amouage

Gold I have gotten very naked reactions using this stuff, so I know it no fluke.
Amouage plus AE is a

lethal combination.

[Numanoid]

I forgot to mention Amouage

earlier. It's in a league of it's own anyway.

[ToxDoc]

top_dawwgs,

I have found

that younger girls/women tend to prefer light, subtle, and fresh scents.

[top_dawwgs]

light, subtle scents such

as.... any colonges in mind you would recommend with those fresh subtle scents?

[Donovan]

Amouage gold for

me

Chikira+TE+Amouage Gold or Dia is a lethal combo as well.
I prefer the Gold myself.

D

[ToxDoc]

“light, subtle scents such

as....” L'Eau D'Issey, Acqua Di Gio, Benetton Sport, 212, and Nautica Competition. Most of these are fresh,

particularly the first three. All are fairly good for 20-somethings, IMO. Just bear in mind that they are also

fairly trendy (ie common and easily recognised) though. Do try them out, as “lightness and subtlety” is a highly

subjective matter.

[top_dawwgs]

do they have a woody smell,

or a musky smell.. or is it more of a citrusy smell. How strong it it? And which one do u like the best out of that

list?

[bzpwhx]

Im sure you

will happy whit Body of Kuros (yves saint lorraint)
You will be pleased to know that the girls will be happy

too!!!!!
Aqua di gio is on everyone today (in Italy at the last) another one is Ferrari Black (not the other ones)


Try those!

Call me

old school, but I'd hardly consider L'Eau D'Issey to be a light, subtle scent. Sublime, yes. Subtle, no.

[deepblue]

Dakar Noir has

been a favorite of mine for a while.

[phersurf]

There's a ot of good ones out

there.

I still haven't smelled Amouge yet, but I'm looking for it in LA.

Has anyone smelled the new

Givenchy Blue Label yet? I got a sample recently and am very impressed.

[phinmone]

I have been reading about

amouage. how does it smell like? how does gold + dia differ.

[DCW]

I have been reading

about amouage. how does it smell like? how does gold + dia differ.

Gold is kinda baby powderish, go

to the website and buy the men samples it's about $25 for Gold, Silver, Dia and Ciel.

I'm told that Gold is

more evening wear, Dia is more suitable for daytime, but this is not writen in stone.
