You don't call it "tails" because all you've ever gotten was "tail", get it? But yeah, we all know of your ninja-like prowess with just about every aspects of life. Why do I even bother arguing with you? Seriously. I should bow down to your superiority from the on set of every posts you ever make. How does this forum ever contain your awesomeness?

Ahh didn't know we were talking SecondLife....carry on.

You definitely walk your path to the beat of a different drummer and his name is Ry Han.

What's your day to day out of those and would a Creed product work for a day to day fragrance?


I like fresh scents and interchange between all of my bottles.


If I had to choose one as a FIRST step into the Creed universe, I'd say Silver Mountain (good for day/night). It is Oliver Creed's favorite scent -- which should speak volumes as most all of his scents are amazing.


With many Creed scents, I've had women be immediately very forward in asking me what it is b/c they'd like to buy it for their mates. I say "I don't know, it was a perfumerie gift" b/c I don't want ANY guy smelling like me. LOL.

Buy it on Ebay or if you want to make SURE you're getting the real deal at a GREAT discount, get it at www.scentiments.com.


Another scent that is supposed to be amazing is Creed's newest concoction: Aventus. It has notes similar to Silver Mountain.

When you get that first Creed cologne, you won't stop there. Many users have their own favorite Creed scent (much debate as to why) and are constantly buying different Creed scents (like me). :thumbsup:

Not a huge Green Irish Tweed fan, just not my cup of tea. I dig the woodsy and smokey fragrances much more and only have a couple of intriguing light scents for summer.

Himalaya is amazing and every woman I've been with loves it. Bois du Portugal is a powerhouse scent I use for the office. Silver Mountain Water would be another summer scent I'd love but I just can't justify another Creed bottle. Millesime Imperial is very good too but Unforgivable by Sean Combs is supposedly a good enough knockoff.

You can find cologne decanters on Basenotes. They'll usually offer 3, 5, and 10mL decants of tons of colognes so you can sample or just get a small amount of something.

Do tell me more about this "secondlife" thing that you seems to know so much about. You know what's funny dude? Besides you, your life, your hair, your... well, you get the point. What's funny is that you kept on shitting on just about everything everybody ever post, but your own shits are just that, shitty shits. Your constantly badgering of anything and everything, but your posts and threads show otherwise. You joke on things that unless you're drawing from your own personal experience, not many people would know about (and they're not good nor popular things). You think you know everything, or are better at everything, but what we've gathered throughout the years you're a pompous fool that knows very little. Why do you post so many threads asking for stupid shits then? < That was to pre-emp your answer as I've lost my interest in this thread and don't plan on returning.

I posted long ago a pic of my SO, and you yourself said "she looks like something that you could go into any clubs and pick up", yet you married what I would call a troll. As many others would think so as well.

At the end of the day, both you and I can lie to ourselves, but one of us would know the truth. I'm sure it's not you.

Check yourself before you wrex yourself, as the popular saying goes.

I liked Abercrombie & Fitch's "Woods". The old amber kind, not the new clear shit.

I post in your threads with the same amusement I get when I visit the city zoo, around the monkeys cage.

And, one more thing there winner. Have you had more choices, as a player like you do, you wouldn't have to settle. Think about that long, and hard buddy. Goodnight, Sssnail out.

I am going to try and get to the mall in a couple of weeks and find a Creed dealer.

Curious now on some of these.

Confused by this thread, I'm not suppose to wear a cologne because I won't smell like a man. So can I at least wear deodorant so I don't stink? Is it okay to wear Speed Stick but not some Polo Sport? I hate to break it to you, but a "manly" smell is AWFUL, no female would want a man who smells like a man. I wear Degree to cover up my sent. And since Degree's a man made substance, when I wear it there's nothing natural at all about how I smell.

Polo (Blue), Obsession, Aramis are my main colognes.

Jovan Musk & Nautica are my secondary ones.

High end colognes shows class, and women loves the smell of it. It also works the other way around. $300 jeans would be good too, but all I can afford is Levi's.

Also, don't forgot that if you wear cologne it somehow means you have poor hygiene.

About to get me some of that pretty soon.
It's good stuff. Mine came as a gift set, with deodorant, facial balm, and a small (travel size) and large bottle of the Polo.

The small bottle is good when you're smoking weed when driving. With the car smelling good, that covers up the pot smoke.

to the manly men on here who are cologne haters, would you wear one that smelled like a blend of Whiskey, chainsaw oil & beef jerky? That sounds pretty damn manly to me.

I used to wear cologne when I was a teen. But today's soaps have so much perfume in them I can't smell anything over that anyway.

Is it too much to ask for some unscented liquid soap?

Ah, just got back to this thread.

Hate to break it to you buddy, not all men smell AWFUL like you do. :D

Hint: If you are a deodorant user, then at least you know it.

Clearly I take showers you clown but when I'm done with a shift I have none available to me immediately and I smell "like a man". Men are manly and do masculine things, like hard labor. To wear nothing, even a "mild deodorant" is a joke. The other homosexual in this thread agrees au naturale man is unappealing.

Man are manly and do manly things, but thankfully, it does not mean you have to do physical labor in today's modern age. We outsource that stuff and give those jobs to the illegal immigrants.
