I just take the samples out of magazines and rub them all on me. My canine side likes "Other Dogs' Butts"

This was same question i was asking around christmas time. Then a friend of mine gave me a sample of Swiss Army for men... I LOVE IT. Went out and bought myself a new bottle. This is my new fav scent, ruling over Hugo Boss sport, CK, Armani, this is the best smelling cologne i ever bought.

I'd recommend searching out something much less mainstream. Why smell like everyone else? I like:

Zino Davidoff (tough to find in the USA but MUCH better than that Cool Water or Good Life junk)
Davidoff (made by same company but different smell and also tough to find in the USA)
Lauder for Men (not even sure if they even make this anymore)

PS--I have to point out here how happy I am that the popularity of CK One seems to be on the decline. No longer am I constantly subjected to its stench every time I'm at the mall, on a plane, in the subway, and on and on!

It was a very cold morning in Ohio when I stepped on the school bus in 1971. Freezing rain was falling. I was in eighth grade. Inside the bus, it was about 85 degrees. 'Witchy Woman' by the Eagles was playing on the bus' stereo. That was the first time I ever heard the song. The bus had a powerful odor in it.

In 1978, while I was in the service, a friend of mine commited suicide with a gun in Texas. He was in his unairconditioned apartment for a few days before he was found. I was detailed to clean the apartment after the body was removed. The apartment had a powerful odor in it.

During the 1980's in Utah, I worked at a factory where we had a lot of CO2 venting. CO2 attracts mosquitoes. We used an insecticide that had a powerful odor about it.

I was given an ounce of Opium cologne for a gift once. This was the real stuff, not a knock off, about 75 dollars. It had a powerful odor (of course).

What I am getting to is that odor was blood. The best perfumes and colognes have a blood component to them. After I connected all these events together, I can tell what the quality of scent someone is wearing with just a whiff. It's really not hard to separate the animal products from the chemical products.

BTW, when I hear the song 'Witchy Woman', I am instantly tranformed into the eight grader on the stinky, hot school bus in Ohio.

wasn't there another poll on this topic a couple of days ago?

well, I like Cool Water.

If you want a bargain brand, Adidas is good.

Sorry, must have been the beer speaking. Kind of a funky experience for me though.

Nautica. I've got quite a few people you can ask, but I'm not sure they'd appreciate me handing out their phone numbers free like on the internet...

Ralph Lauren Romance, somewhat alchohol smelling, but goes away quickly and a good "odor" is left.
CK Eternity is a good one. Try to stay away from cool water, not that great smelling most women dont like it, and everyone knows what it smells like already. Be different. But stay away from brut(lol) old spice, or anything else musky. Santa Fe cologne isn't too bad, but don't wear it. Put a couple drops on your sheets, and no it won't smell up the room(VERY GOOD IDEA).

(edit ws splleing erros)

Like I have said before, they need one that smells like "new computer" particularly the power supply! Untill then, no cologne for me!

Candies seems to work for me. I also use the little known stuff for men in Bath&Body Works. Yeah, they really do have a 'mens' section. It's like smaller than my computer desk. Pathetic.
