I've been wearing it for 4 years now. Everyone loves it. I'm currently out though, and too broke to buy more :(

It's been overplayed for years and years...I think I started wearing it in 98 or 99.

Used to enjoy that stuff, then I switched it up for a while to Armani Mania and Uomo by Luciano Soprani.

Ran out of both of those, so I recently picked up a small refill of Mania, and Light Blue by D&G, which I really like.

Been using it for years but now I stick to Curve/Polo Sport for the daytime and Burberry Touch for going out at night.

LOL, Competition baby!! Not being racist or anything, but black people love it?

The funny thing is I actually like Lacoste's Essentials, which is another one of those apparel brands masquerading as cologne. It bugs me that the cologne is cheaper than their shirts though...

Kenneth Cole Black.

No one knows what it is, but everyone loves it on me. It's better than wearing what everyone else is wearing.

I had one of those small sample/travel-size bottles of that stuff a couple years back; definitely smells great.

SEriously. This was the cologne everyone and their dads wore during my junior high years.

It's ok smelling, and I used to think it was decent but now it's nothing special because everyone else has been wearing it for so many years.

I tried out a few new ones about a month back when I had the chance. I really liked Light Blue by D&G (hence my earlier post about buying some), as well as the new Burberry and, to a lesser extent, Lacoste. Wasn't a big fan of the new Gucci that I can remember.

Also, if you want to go for something that might be a little less well-known, my last cologne, Uomo by Luciano Soprani (again, mentioned earlier), was great.

Edit: A few more that just came to mind...

Armani Code Black is pretty good, although the new Polo (I think it has something to do with the color black as well) didn't quite float my boat. Antidote by Viktor Rolf was also pretty good, although a bit strong, and Man by Versace isn't bad.

here's what i have in my cabinet:

Hanae Mori pour homme, Eud de toilette (the eud de parfum is too strong for me): nice everyday scent. Hints of vanilla while still a masculine scent

Unforgivable by Sean Jean: Spicier, not as "elegant" as Hanae Mori, good for daily or night time wear.

Givenchy Blue Label: A scent thats both citrusy and spicey at the same time, very sophisticated scent, good for formal occasions.


other than these three i have those little sample bottles of cologne. Antidote by Viktor and Rolf is OK, a bit generic. Ambre by Belassarini is a disappointment. Swiss Army is smells really cheap, but thats about par for that price range.

I dont really like it and frankly it is way way way too common, who wants a girl to say 'hey, you smell just like my ex bf!'

I've got some chanelle cologne that I've been using for a while. It drives girls crazy. I don't know the exact name of it. I love it because it's NOT aqua di gio.
