I was having nervous breakdowns.
Thanks for the help, I never
heard of Angel. Sounds interesting
Angel is the best, look it
up. The bottle cost 100 but you can get it cheaper on the net. You probably need to smell it somewhere first. If I
had to choose one that would be it. It truly turns heads.

Buying via the web is your best bet if you areOriginally Posted by saldivar
remote. The only problem is not being able to smell the stuff first... There are websites that review cologne
(mentioned on this forum) and I find the ratings and advice to be useful. (The only one I dont get is Issey, which
I think smells too much like celery)
Sephora (if I can mention them) has a nice categorization system: e.g. mossy
woods, aromatic, water etc. It helped me figure out how to compare scents.
When you do get out to the city - bring
a pen. Go to a department store and spray cologne on those little cards - and write the names down on the card.
(Yes, you will feel like the biggest dork while you do this, but you will thank me later). Take the cards home and
you can sniff the "drydown" for days as you make your purchases online. Walmart offer those small bottles 0.5 oz.
which isnt a bad deal/amount since a decent sized bottle of cologne is about 1.6-1.7 oz. For cheap money you can
try a few out.
Cologne is like anything else you wear - try it on and see how it fits. Different colognes smell
good with different clothes/situations. Its nice to have something for everyday/work use and then have something
kick-a$$ for going out.
Peace and enjoy
One cheap cologne that I
think smells pretty good and is sold at walmart is mambo. Give it a sniff if you dont mind paying less than $50 a
bottle for something. I sometimes wear it, my brother started wearing it and I even found out that someone gave it
to my grandpa as a present. I guess you could pay a lot of money for something so you feel better about it. I'd
rather spend the money on mones.
24 year old, good looking, white guy SOE+NPA works like a charm
Chikara no results nice scent
Pherlure cant wear it; strong scent headache
AA314 good stuff
NPA girls get frisky, stinks
A7 almost as good as NPA
SOE legit
Angel is somewhat of a love/hate
type of fragrence!
Make sure you smell it before you buy it. It is very sweet with notes of chocolate,
coffee, vanilla. It makes you smell like a bakery.
I personelly like Hanae Mori HM that is also a coffee,
chocolate scent without being so cloyinglly sweet.
Here's a couple mainstream fragrences that are a
little formal, more for night wear,
Dolce Gabana
Dior Homme
Here's a couple of fresh, lighter
Summer daytime scents,
Halston Unbound
Lacoste Essential
Gucci Envy a winner, and
inexpensive.

A black guy and a pale Scandinavian should have different tastes in colognes. Likewise, summer and
winter should have different colognes.
Assuming you're a typical white guy (brown hair), Dolce Gabana for
evening and winter (warm, smokey leather) and Eau Savage for days and warm weather (lemony vetiver or
"green")
Should be able to find those most mass retailers. I always buy the minatures at $10 to $15
each.
Black guys might want something muskier.
Hi guys,
Any suggestions for a
cologne that I might be able to get away with in the frangrance free work environment? Something that is light
enough that someone might think it's just your shampoo, soap or moisturizing cream. But long lasting enought to
cover for hours. I'm not familiar with any of the products you guys mentioned above, I never wear cologne.
How
about essential oils? Do they work well for cover?

Bath and Body Works has these body
sprays on sale so I picked up a bottle of vanilla for $5. I've had girls comment about a vanilla scented skin
lotion I used in the past. They liked it, and I don't mind the smell. I just tell them it's my lotion. I hope
this body spray is strong enough to cover unscented SEO + NPA 7:3.

haven't seen documented proof, but I have seen it documented, DCW. When I visited the West coast last year, I went
on a new colonge mission at these very expensive stores. The man that assisted me was gay, and he told me that men
of color do better with muskier & sweet scents. One other lady that assisted me said the same thing. Now, if they
learned that or is told to say that, I don't know. Two other stores didn't say anything about skin color. I've
also read it in a couple of articles that had to do with chosing cologne.
As with everything else, there are
exceptions.

I love my Essenza di Zegna...
not well known, and under appreciated. Try getting a sample of a few colognes and see which you like the best. I
recently got M7 Fresh - Which I definetly recommend, although it's hard to find. For the daytime in the summer I am
going to wear Kenneth Cole- Reactio - I got it as a gift, and I don't dislike the scent, but it's not my fave- but
the girls have said nothing but great things, so it works!
About colognes, what about body

the color of

As to matching colognes with
skin color, it's an art, not yet a science.
If you have other ideas, please feel free to try them
out.
However, I ain't wearing no stinking florals!
Wal-mart has small bottles (10 to
15ml) of some of the popular colognes that I've read about on this forum for around $10. I've bought a few to
try, but they all seemed to be very perfumy. I'm not much of a cologne wearer. I may wear them once in a while to
get feedback from my female friends.
Anyhow, I just bought Sandalwood in Jojoba oil to use as a cover scent. I
chose this preblended mix because it was much cheaper than 100% Sandalwood Essential Oil. And since I'm still
experimenting with small amounts of phero mixes, I'ts probobly better for now to use a diluted essential oil
blend.
I like the smell. It's not real perfumy and can only be smelled up close. I may eventually add a
citris note to it. It seems to cover NPA real well and for a long time. Or maybe I just can't smell the -none in
NPA that well.
Right now in my mixes I use 1 drop of the Sandalwood per drop of NPA. Currently I'm
experimenting to see if I need more Sandalwood or if I can get away with less. My mixes also contain unscented SOE,
but I'm not concerned about needing more Sandalwood to cover the unscented SOE. SOE smells to me like it's easily
covered.
My concern is though, is it bad to mix the alcohol based NPA with the thick oily Sandalwood? Does it
affect the effectiveness of the mones? Does anyone else have any essential oil suggestions?
