Post your Cologne!

[Angrist]

At the moment I'm only using some after-shave from time to time. AXE, but that might just be a Dutch brand. It's a bit too sweet for my (now grown-up) taste. 2 bottles: Voodoo and Phoenix.


Six years ago an aunt from the USA got me some monsters of Claiborne Curve For Men. It's pretty good stuff, kind of classy.


Oh, I also have Puma Flowing. A bit more sporty.


It reminds me that I need to wear it more often.

These are listed more or less in order of how often I use them. The first two are hands down my favorite and seem to work the best with my own body chemistry and the rest I'm impartial to, but smell nice nonetheless.

I've never bought any cologne for myself, but it seems to be like the favored product my Father seems to want to pass on. All my cologne bottles are at least 80% full still, and thats after a few years of use. Here are some that I borrow from time to time.



This is easily the most popular cologne amongst my friends; girls have literally told me that the scent immediately turns them on.

This ones a goody, very classy.



What distribution technique do you all use? I just spray once on both wrists and rub those suckers on the sides of my neck.

Acqua Di Gio is insanely popular, yeah. Hahaha. I've never tried Allure Homme, but I've heard good things. I did try Allure Homme Sport and I loved it! My dad owns that.

Distribution? I go craaaaaazy. Two sprays to the chest, one to the back of the neck for sillage, and one on each forearm. If I'm trying something out, I use the wrists. Otherwise, anything on the wrists rubs right off. I try to get the pulse points and the hair, though. Hair is like a trap for scent - it holds on and never lets go. And luckily for me, I'm a hairy mofo.

Also, you should never rub cologne. If you rub cologne anywhere on your skin, you rub your natural body oils into it which kills longevity exponentially. Whenever you apply you should pat it on!

*mind explodes*

I try to stick just 2-3 sprays simply because no matter how good something smells, I don't want to catch a whiff of it on someone from 5 feet away, and get hit by saturated nostrils once I go in for the hug (if facing) or the full nelson (if hitting it from the back).


But, truth be told, one of the main reasons I probably don't ever go through 1 bottle completely is because I just prefer using this beast by itself:

Yeah, D&G pour Homme is one of the highest-rated designer colognes. I haven't tried it, but I CAN tell you that D&G Light Blue and D&G "The One" are complete and utter crap that dissolve in 20 minutes.

Also, I've had a major shift in wardrobe. I returned Prada Amber and Givenchy Pi Neo. In their place, I have Guerlain Vetiver, which is AMAZING once you notice the cedar chest smell, and Chanel Antaeus, which is a honey and rose-type scent based in Beeswax. Both scents are brilliant. I also picked up Azzaro pH which is an 80's powerhouse in the truest sense of the word - Musk, Leather, and Ambergris (which is the shit that comes out of Sperm Whales, that environmentalists think is inhumane even though nobody cuts any whales open to get it.) I got Azzaro pH at Winners (or as Americans call it, TJ Max) for extremely cheap.
