    I'd hit the mall and give them a

    sniff. My personal fav is Issey Miyake Summer.

    Im kidding, Issey is a cologne,

    very successful and very popular, especially with the ladies. However, this cologne does not work well with darker

    males I have heard, I heard it mainly compliments the body chemistry of fairly white men, or caucasion men. It works

    well with me, the only thing I hate about this cologne is that its so popular and so recognisable, people can tell

    what you are wearing a mile away. Not very original, if that is what you are looking to find, but top quality

    nevertheless.

    By the way, its designed in Japan, at least the brand is Japanese, because they also sell

    extremely expensive designer clothes, a shirt costs in the order of about 500 US, a very plain shirt, but ofcourse

    as most colognes, its made in France.

    I would cut out the Issey label

    from the shirt and glue it to my forehead, at least in that way, I know all the "gold digger" women out there will

    see I am rich and have class, you could tell them its a birth mark. Or just hold a sign, im wearing a Issey shirt,

    now blow me. For some reason I have a gut feeling that would work...

    platinumfox,

    I like L'Eau

    d'Issey, which I believe is the flagship product of their men's fragrance line.
    It's the one that mixes so

    wonderfully with NPA.
    (Posted recently about it

    here.)

    I sampled some of the

    Summer version once, and I thought it was nice, but never actually bought any to try mixing with any pheros. I

    figured that as much as I like what I've got, it wasn't worth the money to try to fix what ain't

    broke.

    I don't know many caucasion men

    so I can't comment on that remark. However, Issey Miyake works great for me and I'm Korean. Miyake's scents tend

    toward the lighter side so they can be easily overpowered by strong 'mones or body odor. You need to carry a pocket

    atomizer to refresh every few hours or your dosage of NPA/TE will be painfully obvious.

    I can say Asian women

    tend to love Miyake's scents.

    Well known within the cologne

    industry and any girl in a department store will wisper this to you, but its not said to the general public or

    marketed in this way, ( as it could be interpreted as racist, and not very good for sales ) at least to the public,



    lighter citrus scents work well with lighter skined people, musky scents work well with darker

    people.

    Koreans to my knowledge are fairly lighter skinned, as compared to other asians. Your very high up on

    the map Geographically, near russia.

    have you ever heard of a cologne called vetiver? its a 60s cologne, its

    scent, i was once told by a girl selling colognes in a department is suited to almost pale white men

    anyway,

    you will not hear or read much about the cologne / skin color issue, because its deemed racist, but like i said, ask

    a girl in a department store next time your in one, she will know what your talking about..

    I would think this has

    more to do with body chemistry--the quality of your sweat--than skin color. I don't think musk scents are very

    becoming on Filipinas and they can be as dark as night. Of course their body chemistry and scents are similar to

    pale Asians. My nose tells me that those with more odoriferous perspriation go better with musk scents. And those

    can be pale skinned Irish meat eaters, soul food Brothers or cumin sweatin' Indians.

    Vetiver is still sold.

    The base EO is rather earthy and reminds me of the scent of old hippies.

    Vetiver is supposed to be the

    scent James Bond wears in the movies, and its the favourite scent of Roman Polanski, I cant imagine it a hippy

    scent, extremely masculine, nothing androgenous about it, yeah, still sold, just different bottle, I own it, I have

    maybe over 50 commercial authentic colognes, big collection, I like the bottle shapes mostly, I buy them cheap

    through my travels in the middle east where no tax is imposed, its less then half what you would pay at a store in

    the us or europe.

    I think body chemistry is

    connected to race and skin color, im sure this topic has been brought up before, in research terms, perhaps JVKOHL

    would know more

    but the general consensus amongst the girls that sell these scents , especially in countries

    that have a high degree of different ethnicities and people with different skin color, will tell you that skin color

    is a major factor in choosing a scent, the woman that I spoke too, with regards to this was selling commercial

    colognes for like 15 years, she was experienced

    I don't doubt body chemistry is connected to race. However race is not neccessarily tied

    to skin color. Indians (as in Hindus) are classified as Caucasian and are often dark as night. Filipinos range from

    fair to deep black and yet are Asian. The list goes on and on...

    As for a store cleck being an authority on skin

    chemistry, that one is a delicious giggle!

    I decided to spray another sample at the store and didn't put as much on as before.I

    felt more comfortable but didn't notice any reactions.

    It was a Black coworker at work that introduced it to me (i still don't have it).
    He

    raved about it and tow caucasion females mentioned how great it smeeled on two separate occasions.

    I agree I spoke to a store cleark and she said that body chemistry is also a factor of diet, eg

    garlic can affect you body chemistry.
    Also do you remember the story about the Asian chick that ate pineapples to

    make her pum pum tasty?
