I'm not sure which is my favorite, but have been reaching for the No. 6 often lately.

Unc, have you ever tried Opus 1870 by Penhaligon's? I find that to be my current favorite for this cold season, but I've yet to shell out for the bottle... I just have a teeny-tiny 1.5ml sampler right now.

Wow, no love for the three best smelling cologne out there:
Paris Hilton for men
Candies for men
Chrome by Azarro
In that order. All are very light smelling (not overpowering) but EVERY GIRL I have ever met (I work at the Gap, that's ALOT of women that come in and out of that store) absolutely love the smell, and has been the icebreaker conversation for getting numbers like nothing else....Paris Hilton ftw.

mr_baseball: I guess times have changed and Head-fiers are getting laid like champs now. (Except I seriously doubt that's the case given all the anime and computer related threads around here..)

i almost went with chrome today, didnt really like the smell of it though..dont know, maybe i need to spray some on, walk around a bit and see what i think. maybe i'll get it around x-mas or something. i went with polo blue, figured prob a safer choice
All of your Polo, Kenneth Coles and Curve or Cool Water are safe scents...
The problem with cologne, is people just wear what everybody else out there is wearing, and likely it's polo or tommy, or of the like.
You know how I found the cologne I'm wearing? My sister goes out (not dating, but goes to the bars) with male models (some who are fairly well known, not "fabio known", but in GQ and mens magazine covers), and I got out hopping with them as well on occasion when she's in town....I asked and my sister asks...I get what they wear. They get chicks knocking on the car windows as we pass the bars, lol.
I read somewhere, a girl subliminally gathers her opinion of you based on your scent, as most everything a woman gathers from you, is no-verbal. So if you're wearing the same cologne as the last guy, you're likely to get the same response before your mouth even opens. Obviously, talking to women, that's just a little piece of the puzzle....but every little piece helps doesn't it?
Aside from that, go with Coffee beans in your pocket or a small bag of them and just go cologne shopping. The coffee Beans clear your palette, so take a whiff of the beans between scents to you can smell how differently everything smells. Also, like you said, the same cologne on two different people can smell different after it settles.
This is what you learn from reading fashion magazines, lol.

A lot of U.K. colognes... I haven't heard of any of those before. What do they smell like?

Yep, that's an excellent idea. Often, there will be a jar of coffee beans behind the counter if you ask. Any decent store should have one ready.
