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.

Admittedly I had never heard of most you named ;) But I'm more into basketball than fragrances. Just whenever I decide I want a new one I go a couple times in various shops to test 2 or 3. First one that convinces me I decide to buy.
But I haven't smelled Gaultier on a person older then let's say 23. I had used it myself, but I think its way too annoying. No matter if you like it, you have to bear its presence if you're within 20 yards of the person wearing it. I also made the experience that young girls like it as it's very noticable. It smells sexy and that's attractive I guess.
Gaining a couple years I think it's the annoying kind of attractive. Like Hooters girls are attractive but in an undesirable way.

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.

**** yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Margo, have you tried any of the Tom Ford Private Collection fragrance? If so, what are your thoughts?
 
I'm gonna check out Creed Aventus though.


Make sure you check out Olfactive Studio, margo

Dalamon, it's nice to see someone else with a good nose here. I've sampled a few Tom Ford's and I'm with you on the Tobacco Vanille. It's a classic scent. I have a small decant that still has a small amount left. I'm waiting for the Fall to finish her off. I'm crazy busy right now, but if you want, PM me your address and I'll send you some Aventus to try out when I get a chance.

Tell Gyp that I'm not well-versed enough with my fragrances to be able to confidently give him one cologne to choose.


To me, if you're looking for a fragrance that you can wear any season, any occasion, it would typically be something more on the mild side. Something that smells good, but something that isn't overly aromatic. There are many colognes that fit this description-- personally, I'll just go over the one that I stumbled upon



Of the colognes I have used personally , Acqua Di Gio-- despite myself admittedly having grown bored of it-- is very damn versatile. It's not strong, lasts a while, smells great, and it doesn't have an atrocious price figure. I'd say its quite a good beginner cologne. Then, I find its a little easier to move on, in the direction of what you desire (more strong, less strong, etc).



I think someone like PKM and Margo could be better sources of advice for you, Gyp, particularly because they have used colognes in a similar setting to something that you could relate to. When I select cologne, Im only taking my 19 year old self into account-- so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I'm truly flattered. Thank you. I imagine that you're very busy-- so ill respectfully pass on your offer on accepting the Aventus. The thought alone is greatly, greatly appreciated. Well, unless I can't get it in Canada-- in which case ill be firing you a PM promptly thereafter :)


I fully plan on checking this fragrance out within the next couple of weeks, and ill let you all know what I think.

There is liking cologone cuz it makes you smell good for bishes.


Then there is over analyzing cologne to the point were you seem like a bish.

I'm admittedly a bish when it comes to fashion, and fragrance-selecting. Oh well.
 
I'm in my kitchen right now and tried dabbing a bit of vanilla extract on my wrists. Not bad. I sort of smell like dessert. The mint extract was pretty good too, though it smells a bit too much like mouthwash.

My favorite cologne for a while has been Geir. It's imported from Norway and its great for all genders. But Nordstrom's the only place that carried it, and they haven't had it in stock lately.

Which is why I've had to resort to what's in my kitchen cabinet.
