Aqua de Gio is overused now, every guy wears it.

Any review on the Beckham cologne, I have heard good things about it, but never had a chance to check it out

Cologne is not fashion.

Yah,I'd like to see some Beckham reviews as well.

I am more of a sweet,woody/musky cologne guy (The ones I described above). Id really like to hear some reviews on similar types, to add to my collection.

Woody musky colognes? Giveny colognes are pretty much up your alley, you should also try some Hugo ones as they posess sandalwood. Do yourself a favour and go try Lacoste essential, that one is very masculine, spicy and fresh. Im purchasing it this friday. Make sure to smell Hugo Energise which is one of my favourites of all time.

O ya! Also try Calvin Klein Obsession night. I havent worn it in over 5 months because I dont feel it matches me. CK colognes in general are sour smelling, but Obsession Night is a good one.

I love it when I went to talk to someone...and since it's loud...the guy comes up faces towards the ground, with his hear near your face and just before I speak I get a strong but quick scent of his cologne and then I carry on speaking...because he put cologne on behind his ears. <3

Dolce Gabanna is one of the best colognes ever made in alot of peoples opinions. Gucci colognes are a big fat joke, same with swiss army. They arent similar at all. Go get yourself a bottle of DG, its good.

Swiss Army. The good one in the silver bottle, not that crap in the blue bottle.

Every girl I know loves that cologne, and I just ran out, it sucks.

Was recently impressed by how nice Lacoste Essential smelt, tried another Lacoste and wasn't impressed at all, I think it was Lacoste Pour Homme.

Two colognes that have had woman asking me about the cologne that i am wearing

One is Davidoff Coolwater ,infact I had a woman tell me that if you want a woman to notice you wear Coolwaters.

The other one is Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce.I have even had men asking me about the cologne that I am wearing.Its the same cologne that they spray all over the store.

Hugo Boss Number One is another one that has been a fave.It has been classified as a sharp, spicy, lavender, amber fragrance."This masculine scent possesses a blend of oak, cedar, mandarin, musk and amber. "

I wear Lacoste Essentials, Hugo Energise, and CK Eternity.
From my experiences with women, none of them noticed the Loscoste on me, although I like it alot. Hugo was noticed quite a bit, they liked the smell, and CK was NEVER overlooked, all my lady friends love it, the ex was crazy for it. ;)

Right now i'm on the hunt for something new

Sep 6th, 2006, 12:26 AM

Back in the day when I wore Aqua Di Gio alot, I would always get attention. I just bought the new Hugo Boss Selection and am getting even more compliments.

I like to try new brands everytime I need to refill, and have really enjoyed Lacoste (Red), Hugo Boss (In Motion) and Escada (can't remember the name).

I should have quoted the above in my last post, but check out Hugo Boss Selection. I know you already have a Boss cologne in your lineup, but you should at least consider it when making your next purchase.

I'm all about trying new stuff when it comes out, but I may buy a second bottle of this once I'm done...

i have a small collection of colognes ive accumulated over hte time. no garbage, just quality cologne that ive choosen to buy carefully.

but ive realized something, im missing a unique cologne. im talking about something that cant be found at SDM, sears, the bay, etc. everybody smells good now-a-days, so if you want to stand out, you're going to have to go the extra mile.

phd1969

Sep 6th, 2006, 12:45 AM

I have the following:

Crave by CK
Agva by Bvglari
Armani Mania

Pretty much covers all smells for every situation. Crave during the day, Aqva for work, Mania for going out.

tommy, freedom is alright. it has a light smell, and its good anywhere.

other than that i also use lacoste essential

and abercrombie and fitch.. chicks dig it. :D

Sep 6th, 2006, 04:28 PM

the Dolce & Gabbana is a great cologne, but so common. It seems everyone has a bottle, not to mention 10 other companies copy it.

Chanel Egoiste Platinum is good, but is a little expensive and does not last very long. Thats the one I wear.

SALTY3142

Sep 6th, 2006, 04:35 PM

I've got lots of colognes but the one that seems to stand out with the ladies is Rochas Man. Its in a pink box so most guys are iffy about it...very sweet and fresh scent, give it a shot! but dont tell your friends ;) lol

Fabulaz

Sep 6th, 2006, 11:18 PM

Chrome by Azzaro - Smells fresh and not overpowering, long lasting, one of my favs
Burberry Brit - Good for night, but doesn't last very long at all
DNKY "Be Delicious" - Smells like what it looks like - Apple-ish

I use PI, lotsa people love the smell. Women love it :razz:

Sep 7th, 2006, 07:01 PM

I use Givenchy Very Irresistable day to day, its nice, has a slight feminine smell to it, but women love it.

I also use Clinique Happy for men during the summer, my favorite smell, great for work and the like.

I also use D&G Masculine for nights out on the town, lasts very very long. I also use Gucci Envy when I go out, a very masculine scent.

Other stuff I've bought over the years, FCUK, DKNY Be Delicious, Christian Dior Fehrenheit(summer), Malizia, Drakkar Noir and Uomo.

I've got

Aqva by Bvlgari
Ralph Lauren Polo Black
fcuk him
Alfred Sung Hei
Nautica Competition

Bvlgari is probably my favourite at the moment of these five. Light, marine-type fragrance.

In the past, I've used l'Eau d'Issey Issey Miyake which was awesome. Despite that, I prefer changing colognes when I run out of one - so many choices!

where do you guys get ur cologne? any recommendation for cheap/fair price places?

Thats the best place to buy fragrances imo. Shes an extremely trustworthy individual and before you ask, no they arent "fake". It generally isnt possible to manufacture "fake" colognes as opposed to clothing and apparel. Shes also got extremely good prices too. She buys in large quantities so thats why she gets em for so cheap.

I have well over 20 colognes and counting, some of them have been purchased from her. Shes the only individual I purchase from aside from my discount at SDM.

Hmmm do you have any proof to back this false claim ATM? Do you have any idea what it takes to actually MAKE a cologne? Do you know the process? Do you have any idea how hard it is to acquire the TONS and TONS of chemicals and ingredients to actually make one?Of course there are FAKE colognes, but they are BLATANTLY obvious. Ive seen some at China town that say "Smells like Polo blue", but ive never seen an exact replica of a cologne bottle with the exact same logo and smell being passed of as fake.

I know for a fact that Violetta that doesnt sell fakes and we are actually close friends. Through my time on ebay, ive never encountered a "Fake" cologne (guess its cause ive never bought from anyone else except for Violetta).
You are wrong about it being hard to manufacture fake colognes. Ebay is full of fake colognes...Bottles are the hard part.

she also gets her hands on "testers" stuff that manufacturers only give out for testing but she sells em.

try the Liz Claiborne curve crush (the green bottle one)

its really really good.. not very common so no one will smell like you.. (individual scents are good)

Although I can't stand her music, Madonna, a few years back came out with a men's cologne called "NUDES 1977". Everytime I would wear it, I would get a lot of compliments on it, from both men & ladies. Unfortunately can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone ever seen or heard of this cologne??????

One of the best colognes ever made, no bullsh*t. Too bad it's so hard to find.

WHen I wore this cologne I'd get complimented literally every day.

Swiss army gets my vote too...the only place you can really get it now is those cologne/perfume stores, around $25 a bottle. SDM still gets them on promo once in a while for like $20, but its become so rare.
