Alright gentlemen (and the ladies too),

What is your personal reason for using cologne, perfume or the like? Is it worn daily or on occasion? Why? Feel free to vote and post.

Thanks and let the discussion begin!

To lure the hoors of course.

Only gets worn on special occasions.

As a guy with asthma and allergies, i wish people would stop wearing unnesessary fragrance.

It's pretty uncommon, but once in a while, someones perfume will give me an asthma atack. Luckily for me, it's quite mild, so a couple puffs from the inhaler and I'm GTG.
Still, I don't like it, I don't wear it.

My wife is a perfumer ("nose") so it is kind of expected. :nut:

yeah this was my only reasoning - now there's no plural 's' tho so no need, besides that - imo the most important one back in the day, was to cover up what you went and puffed on in HS at lunch lol

My teachers in high school caught on though. Had a class with her before break and smell normal, after break reeked of axe.......... Hahaha..

Clive, for which fragrance house does your wife work? Does she do any formulation?

It appears most people are either not a fan of this stuff or are looking to get laid!v:D

If people can't smoke indoors, why are people allowed to wear ridiculous amounts of fragrances that can suffocate people around them? I can't stand going in an elevator with those ppl. I think I'll light up a smoke next time that happens and pay a $500 fine if I get busted lol.

Only d-bags wear cologne, and cougars wear perfume imo haha.

People don't consider axe cologne do they?? I find those cheap ones that guys/girls layer on killer. Back in junior high when girls first got into it, using some $10 spray, it would cause major headaches for me.

I have asthma/allergies and I typically don't run into issues with good colognes/perfumes (with the odd exception)


I have two canali's (summers night/winters tale) that are both very mild fragrances, and it doesn't bother my lungs.

Also wear jean paul gauthier.


I just wear cologne cause I find it smells nice. just make sure to use 1 or 2 quick presses. don't want to layer that stuff on :barf:

John Varvatos tells me I need it. Honestly though i dont think more than half the people who wear it actually know how to put it on properly.

I shouldn't be able to smell you coming before I see you...you should only be able to smell their cologne/perfume (subtly) when you are talking to that person

I'm not sure why I wear cologne actually. It's certainly not to attract the ladies, I'm married and no longer interested haha

I switch cologne every year and have no loyalties to any particular brand, just whatever seems nice at the time. To me it's just part of what you do, like wearing a watch. You don't NEED to do it, but it's nice to be extra fancy :dunno:

She does formulation, studied at ISIPCA in France.
Has had training and done work with many of the majors. (Givaudan, Firmenich, IFF, Chanel, etc.)

JPG Le Male is very strong, even with one spray under your clothes on the chest, and lasts for about 14 hours haha. I do like it, though. It also seems like every brown guys choice of scent.

I would love to pitch in $50 for your ticket if you ever do it. especially if there was a video of it.:rofl:


I don't wear colognes anymore, only when I'm craving for a specific scent.
now a days it's just me and my roll of old spice

rarely do, but when I do, it's cause I like the change and a light scent from time to time.
pretty picky about the scent though.. has to smell good on me and HAS to be very light. I don't like something obtrusive

It covers up the smell of sweat, sex, and shame.

And I am a sucker for the marketing scams brought to us by Axe. :D

I do find the scent does last for a VERY long time, yes. But I don't find it powerful such as some Prada/Gucci/Boss scents. Those are the ones that you can just smell from a good distance and are sharp to the senses.

I'm white haha.

Maybe its good at masking curry? :rofl:

Isn't the presence of Axe fragrance more of an INDICATOR of sweat, sex and shame?

At my condo in colorado there is always this broad who douses herself with perfume, and I usually catch the elevator down with her. It is just awful, once I asked her what perfume she was wearing... and continued to say I was just curious because you smell alot like my grandma. She stopped wearing it.. Hahaha.

For me, I only wear it on special occasions..

That is hilarious :D A not so subtle hint.
But clever because it's hard for her to get
pissed at you for it . :poosie:


Whatever old lady perfume it is that smells like dead flowers and musk it makes me want to vomit. Seems to be a very popular one though.
