What does everyone think of cologne and perfume.

If you wear either, what kind?

I am a firm believer in cologne and wear Kiton Men.

Personally, I like Emporio Armani's "Him/Il/Lui..." and Hugo Boss' "Hugo" for everyday wear.

I used to wear Hugo, but I got tired of it. I also used to wear Cool Water, and I got tired of that, too.

My wife likes the Tuscany.

Whatever the wife likes, one should wear!

I've been growing tired of "Hugo", too, but I've had troubles finding a good replacement. I'll check out "Tuscany" next time I buy perfume. By Aramis, correct?

I think that cologne/perfume is a good and pleseant thing to do for your hygeine. Everybody should wear some kind of scent in order to cover up unexpected foul smells and odors. Do not be fooled though in thinking that you need to use half the bottle. :rolleyes: A few squirts will do fine, because it is often offensive if one's colonge/perfume is too strong. The strong aroma will, without a dout, distract from the conversation. And trust me people wil love to be around you and be closer to you if you smell good. ;) :fluffle:

Perfume is better if your gonna wear that kind of product, but is more expensive. Since I wear very little when I do wear it , I prefer perfume. Lasts me a while. Perfume is just more concentrated right? So a little dab a do ya.

Oh! but since I smoke, I only wear it when I plan to not smoke. The smoke smell clashes with the scent and destroys it.

This guy I went to school with use to wear some good smelling cologne. I found out the name once.. but I've forgotten it =( It was great! I do know it came in a brown weird shaped bottle. Kind of round. It's not a new scent since it's been 13 yrs since I smelt it.

Is that a male cologne? I'm not familiar with their prices. I do know that when shopping for female scents, the perfum of the same brand costs more than the cologne. That's what I meant.

Yeah its a male cologne, but in general men's fragrance costs less than women's.

I think 40-60 is an average price for cologne.

I prefer using thoughts, rather than cologne or perfume...

No, I am allergic to a lot of different fragrances. I used to love Obsession (for women) and Men's Eternity. but that was a long, long time ago.

Now, I usually don't wear scent, but if I do it's fruit scented lotion. I'm not allergic to fruit scents.

I do not use deoderant, perfume or cologne. I have asked many people, including friends and family and they assure me I don't stink. I think the stuff smells terrible for the most part and don't want it anywhere near me.
Even on the hottest days a sweat only a little so deoderant is just not useful.
