always been partial to the classic and classy, acqua di gio
for the more exotic occasions
for rainy days, burberry brit for men
when i am feeling juvenile
and lastly, i wear abercrombie fierce quite frequently because they send me tons of it for letting them use my picture on their bottle

I love scents. One of the most important things for me is how a girl smells.
I wear Chrome, Acqua di Gio, Tommy, and Very Sexy for him.
Chrome is fresh, works well in the spring and summer. Tommy is spicey and works better in the fall and winter. Acqua is formal. Very Sexy is good anytime but lasts the shortest out of the 4.
For girls, anything from Victorias Secret is good. Anything.
From B&B works, the coconut and lime is amazing.

I recently received a gift of Nautical Voyage. Not a day goes by where I don't receive a compliment for it. It's probably the best one I have now.

My old cologne was Baldessarini's Ambre and it was a nice slightly spicy cologne. This time I got Paco Rabanne One Million. I am almost out of the one million and I am thinking of buying a different type of cologne to mix things up. I want a cologne that makes the girls moan.
Why do you talk to Gyp so much PKM?
He wasn't even that good of a poster. Like 6.5/10 on his good days.

He's a good guy.
Understatement. Whether they're wearing any perfume or not.
Then please post with more.
L'Eau Par Kenzo is my favorite right now. It's a citrus fragrance that's very subtle. But it can be intense if you want it to be. It's very fitting in hot summer nights and in everyday settings. It always reminds me of walking through Japanese gardens. You have that wonderful smell of the flowers in your nose, but it's not intense. But when you take a deeeeeeep breath it's really overwhelming.
Related to this: I just wondered how much the prices for colognes/perfumes are in the US? I only know of this ridiculous place in France named Grasse, where all the European perfumes are from...

My young padawans, come, sit, and learn at my feet.
Some gents go way overboard with their cologne collections. If you're smart, you'll get 5-8 quality scents and you'll be set for a while. There are some decent value scents you can get, but I strongly believe the higher-end designer fragrances and the niche fragrances are worth it. An affordable way to go about this is to buy decants/samples. The reason you want a handful of scents is you want to be able to choose something depending on the weather, where you're going, or simply what mood you're in. Here's my preferences:
Work (business casual): Green Irish Tweed (Creed - Coolwater, which I don't like, is a poor man's attempt at ripping this off), Bleu de Chanel (Chanel - TBH I think it smells like laundry detergent, but I get compliments), Philosykos (Diptyque - figs)
Tie: Green Irish Tweed (Creed), Aventus (Creed - smoky pineapples, easily the best scent on the market right now)
Cold Weather: Aventus (Creed) Le Male (Jean Paul Gautier - powdery vanilla), Tam Dao (Diptyque - very natural sandalwood), Pure Havane (Thierry Mugler - great date scent, has that patended tar note that TM is famous for, but it's very subtle, the big notes in this are honey and tobacco)
Hot Weather: Cologne (Thierry Mugler - like Irish Spring Soap in a bottle, this is great for after I work out)
Spring/Fall/Rain: Terre D'Hermes (Hermes - woodsy orange peels).
The wife's faves are Aventus, Le Male, and Pure Havane.
If anyone wants more info I'd be happy to oblige. As you can tell, this is kind of a hobby of mine.

Haha, no way an 18 yr old is dropping the amount of cash it takes to get a bottle of Aventus, so I have to think you're referring to Le Male. It's not my fave, but like I mentioned, it's one of the wife's faves, so it stays in the collection. It was way overplayed (much like AdG), but it's a decent scent.
Yeah that's what I meant.. The price differenceI mean if they ship it from France, it obviously causes costs. Same like Porsches costing way more in America compared to local price in Germany.
But maybe there's an US version of Grasse for the continental market!
Yes.. and it goes by many different names. Deserves it's own thread.
