So I finally find a cologne I like (Calvin Klein One) and was going to buy a bottle when my awesome and very generous wife surprises me with a Mary Kay Gift Box of 6 small cologne bottles.

Me being the nice guy says thank you, proceed to open each bottle to take a sniff and I say I really like them all. In reality, maybe 1 or 2 of them were good.

It's going to take me a long time to go through 6 bottles of cologne before I can by the one I really like.

The things we do for love! :D

Cologne is for your wife, not you.

It's really more about what SHE likes.

I found the most awesome smelling cologne ever created at Macy's the other day:

Seriously, I think I would get raped if I wore this stuff in public. I sprayed it on my neck and three ladies walked by saying "wow...that smells nice!" :D

It comes in a cool gold brick bottle too, which I thought was pretty unique. I'm putting the hints out for my birthday ;)

It would be a shame if you accidentally knocked the bottles off the sink and they broke. You better be careful ;^)

You're the one wearing it around all the time. You first and foremost have to like it. Obviously, it helps if you get something that everyone finds pleasing as well.

I'll have to check that out. I've been wearing Dolce & Gabbana The One for the past 6 months. I really like it.

That 1Mil cologne smells like a colon, believe me on that one. OK, may be not a colon, but a very refreshing taxi cab with a hint of ass. On second thought, some of you may like that sort of things.

See, that's your mistake right there. In this case, whether 'everyone' finds it pleasing or not, doesn't matter :D

It's so cloyingly sweet - don't even attempt to wear it in hot weather. But apparently that's the rage these days with the teens and 20-somethings. It's like Aqua di Gio in the 90s.

You're not disagreeing with what I said. I buy colognes for me since I'm the one smelling what I'm wearing all day. If other people happen to like it as well is just secondary. Though of course I tend to pick what my GF likes when we're going out.

Since I'm some what of an ex-perfumist that had upwards to ~200 bottles and ~500 samples at some point I will tell you this:

-You should wear fragrance for you and yourself. Don't smother yourself in shit hoping to bag someone. It's meant for you to smell.

-For fucks sake, learn how to apply. If you rub your fragrance together in anyway I will smite you.

-Shit like OP's CK-One is everlasting crap. Absolutely no depth, nothing original, just another boring aquatic.

Well played.

How about pick the best one, re-gift or ditch the others and get the one you want? She wouldn't really be offended would she?

So the natural fragrance of a working man? Guess that's why I don't need it to attract the ladies.
