At this point arguing on the internet has become winning the Special Olympics. Cologne is just as commercial as diamonds and hallmark holidays. You don't need it to attract attractive women, if you feel it enhances your physical appearance, buy it, but at least know something about what makes a person attractive. I was just trying to let people know a little scientific information about body odors and physical attractiveness. Oh, and if you do buy it, I recomend Burbury's of London (probably mispelled), and remember that crap is expensive so don?t spray enough to be smelled a block away.

I do know where you're coming from.

I've had many girls say that I have a really good natural smell. I can't smell what they're smelling however. Obviously something is there as too many girls have said it.

However, I do sweat during the day and I'm paranoid about stankiness. A good cologne can mask this day wearing affect. Some colognes can mix very well with natural body smell to create an interesting fragrant cocktail to the opposite sex.

A fresh smelling cologne can also give the impression of cleanlines.....as can other colognes that can make you smell like a leather sofa.

I hope nobody thinks that a cologne is going to make or break their chance to meet or attract women.

My favorite colognes:
Aqua Di Gio - Giorgio Armani
Cigar - Remy Latour
Chrome - Loris Azzaro
CK One - Calvin Klein
Polo - Ralph Lauren

You can't go wrong with any of the above colognes.

I also suggest just going to the mall and trying everything out. Ask for whatever they have behind the counter as their olfactory-sense-cleanser (generally coffee beans), as your nose will get tired and start mixing scents after a while. Preferably, bring a woman, to ask her opinion.

An old one that used to be mentioned on here would be Paco Rabanne's Chrome...just mentioning it since it's probably not sold anywhere and everything else has probably been mentioned already. I personally have 5 or 6 colognes, for different occasions, moods...even differs on how I'm dressing. :)
