on I guess an off topic note, how the hell do you guys apply your Aqua di Gio? I wear cologne every day of the week, and have a huge collection, but not matter how little a spray I use the Gio seems a bit overpowering to me... any tips?

I figured I'd try and my axe sure had quite and effect! The whole room scattered when I walked into the bar carrying a big axe. Musta gotten one from a bad batch? :confused:

Aside from Acqua Di Gio, Chrome has to be my new favorite cologne. My mom bought me one of those sampler boxes that had some in it, and I had to get a full bottle after that. Great stuff.
As for the question about applying cologne, I'm curious too as to how other people do it.

Best ever...

I used to only wear this some years ago, and yes, it is the best, but I'm currently using Higher Dior only because it was a gift :)

Oh, I don't have issues with using cologne in general, I just have problems with this strong as hell Aqua di gio, lol. I wear cologne every day, typically what I do is put a small spritz on the right side of my neck (so that any random girl who hugs me can smell) and then a bigger on on my chest, which I then rub against my forearms to spread it out a bit.

As for colognes I've gotten good reviews with, bar none the best results at university has been with Candies. It might be the age thing, but for the 18-22 year old block they all say it drives them wild. For work in the public, I wear CK Eternity, because it's light but smells good. Definitly not a date cologne, but for the workplace it works good. For dates, a little bit of Mambo works well, but must be used a bit sparse because in any quanity it starts to smell really, really icky. Boss in really small amounts seems to work well too.

I'll have to try out Chrome, a bunch of people here seem to have good luck with it.

i wear Cool Water because my old girl liked it and I'm to cheap to buy anything else untill this bottle is empty. It smells aight i guess, i have a few people who enjoy sniffing me regularly. :)

I sometimes rub $100 bills on myself, that smell drives chicks mad.


I think we need female thoughts on this. Someone buy a hooker and ask her......

Aqua Di`Gio is amazing stuff. 1 squirt in the center of your chest lasts basically all day.

I have bought a couple of can's, and had a few comments asking what I am wearing. Not bad for a quick shower and spray when your in a hurry!

All my college friends that are girls seem to really like Aqua di Gio or Nautica Competition. Since leaving college, Swiss Army seems to be the most popular with the women at work and out and about. :D

I have a small bottle of sample AXE too. It does smell very nice. I need to head to Sav-On for more.

Just wear something nice that girls havent smelled before... and they'll notice it. :D

Someone gave my friend "Very Sexy" for men...from Victoria Secret... i swear... i've never seen so many girls notice and ask what it is. Too bad everyone is buying that thing now...
:eek:
