Guess people have different opinions about smell as well, just like taste, hearing (especially sound quality), music, ...

bijan black for me all the time.
Bijan Black For Men By Bijan
my wife loves it, and I always get asked by gals what I am wearing at bars and whatnot..(though I am a faithful husband!)

Hello everyone, I'm pretty new as a poster in these forums and I thought this might make for an interesting thread. Recently I let a friend of mine borrow my HD555's. When she gave them back to me I was expecting a comment on their sound quality, instead she kept raving on about how good the pads smelled. Which leads me to my question...

What kind of cologne do your gentlemen wear? Any personal favorites in your collection? Which cologne do you find gets the women turning their heads and for you married guys, which cologne does your wife like?

Personally, I am fond of Eternity by Calvin Klein and Lacoste Essential during the daytime. By night Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani. All of them are subtle scents when worn in moderation and women seem to enjoy them almost as much as I do.

Loving my sample of creed millesime imperial.

Using varvatos by J.V. as my daily-- hanae mori was almost my daily, but what seemed like a tinge of mint in varvatos won me over. Might get a sample of L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme from a friend :D

Wouldn't mind having a small amount of rochas/a*men around, but not really suitable for me in terms of daily use.

Yes, Creed is fairly expensive, so you may want to try samples beforehand. I've tried Millesime Imperial and Virgin Island Water. MI is interesting but the sour note smells too sour on me. VIW on the other hand is one of my favorite colognes ever, very tropical and beachy, like wearing a piña colada. Creed's cologne names seem to very accurately describe what you'll smell.

Also, Creed's Fleur de the Rose Bulgarie (the 1890 version) is one of the most beautiful and realistic rose scents I've ever smelled. I bought some for a girlfriend and she loved it.

I am a complete newbie in Cologne. All these discussions just get me curious. for the last few weeks since this thread, I have bought (all based on reviews):

Polo Black
Polo Double Black
Baldessarini by Hugo Boss
Baldessarini Del Mar by Hugo Boss
Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani
Burberry London for Men
Gentleman by Givenchy
Vetiver Men by Guerlain
Rive Gauche Pour Homme by YSL
Paco Rabanne Pour Homme
Van Cleef Pour Homme


There will be a lot of A/B'ing ......

I like the freshness of the kenzo pour homme for day use. Night-time I've used escada magnetism, but I'm not sure whether I like it or not, maybe a bit too strong for me, but the girls seem to like it. It is also a very unusual and mysterious scent, perhaps stands out in the crowd (never a bad thing in a nightclub environment).
