Total idiot when it comes to this stuff.....

1) Where do you like to buy from?
2) How much do you like to spend?
3) Do you care about brand name?
4) Alcohol based or non alcohol based?
5) Spicy or non spicy
6) Other criteria that you consider?

I played it conservative.... bought the new Versace for Men because it was a light fragrance and new so less people would be wearing it initially. I knew it was a good purchase when I went downstairs of the Bay to pick up my watch and the cute girl behind the counter working on my watch asked me what I bought and that it smelt really good.

Curious what other guys are using.

I found the answers I got regarding suits were excellent. Hopefully, some of the cologne experts will step up and help us stinky men. :D
 
1. In Canada, I use Bay. In the US, I'd use a place like Nordstroms.
2. Don't care.
3. Not really but I usually like Givenchy for night, Hugo for day wear and Issey Miyake for weekends.
4. Never cared.

Another one ...maybe next is Dune by Dior that I have to try and see if it goes well.

So what suit did you end up with?
 
Very rarely, I will use cologne, if for some reason, I have some weird odor and I need to smell good real quick.

I have a small bottle of Drakkar Noir by Guy Laroche.

You can get it anywhere. Heck, even Wal-Mart has it.
 
Actually I took the info for suits but never bought anything yet.....moved into a new place and totally redecorated it moving was easy given that everything was delivered but damn was it hard on the cheque book. After the bed, couches, linens, rugs, tables, chairs, end tables etc I could have had a closet full of designer or custom suits.

And with 1080p TV's out that suit may take a back seat.
 
Don't use but I get clean.
My wife and I never perfume so being perfumed to go home will look suspect.
Of course a quick shower after an incall is required.
 
i use.. the original perry ellis...or channel for men... these sents go well with my body sent... some sents work on one peoson while the same sent doesn't on others ... it is chemistry at work... i have been told this by meny different ladies and friends ... my 2 1/2 sents....hahahahahahaha:D
 
There's two schools of thought. There's guys who find what they like and stick with it for 20 years, And there's guy's like myself who buys a new bottle of cologne every other month. Get in the middle. You can get good cologne almost anywhere, including sears and the Bay. I suggest you go to one of these places and ask for or get some samples. Test a couple, and make a choice. Best thing to do is to get a lady's opinion. When a ladies eyes light up when she smells it, that's the one! D&G Masculine - by Dolce & Gabbana is nice.


BTW the David Beckham Cologne isn't that bad. ;)
 
LOL as soon as I saw that you posted I knew there would be a shameless plug. In fact I sampled the DB cologne but I'm not sure I want to trust a football player to choose my scent...... like asking Andrew Dice Clay for tips on ettiguette. :D Admit it you get by on your looks, even after a game girls still flock to you..... at least the ones with eyes and also smoke (duller sense of smell).

But I agree with you I'm not interested in having one scent for life.

As shallow as this sounds I actually took into consideration if the bottle would match the rest of my washroom.
 
When I shop for cologne's I usually get a sample first. Get the perfume lady to give you a spray then walk around the mall for a while. That way it gives it time to take effect and mix with your body chemistry. You'll get a sense of the smell but more importantly if you start getting nice glances from other female shoppers you know it's working nicely.

- I shop at the mall (usually The Bay or Sears)
- I usually stick to the well known brand names.
- Don't care too much about the price as I know the brand names are all about the same and expensive.
- Spicy or non-spicy is largely irrelevant as I go with what works with my body chemistry. I stick to mid-ranges (nice if it has a sandalwood base). I have two stronger musky scents that I hardly wear and one very light summer breezy scent that I hardly wear (one of each were gifts). It's the 3 mid-ranges that I wear the most depending on time of day/night and season.

Whenever I purchase I ask to get about a half dozen of the samplers of different scents. That way you can try them out for free and if one is really nice you can purchase that one next time.

The ones I'd repeat buying are the ones that the MPA's go crazy over. Trust me, once you find a good one they love it and it's a good ice-breaker.

ummm there is a reason you can get it anywhere........ it sucks.

For the love of god PLEASE never use it again, you will be doing yourself and the general public around you a huge favour.

BTW My personal fave for men is Happy for men by Clinique.
Not to strong and smells ohhhhhh so good!
 
Escape or Eternity for men.........yummmmmmy.........makes me drool!
Instant panty remover!!
 
I got my Versace for Men at The Bay as well. All the hot ladies at the Bay said that I smell good as well.

Seriously, I am starting to think that there are a lot more people usin this cologne now, since it's being push by the sales(hot ladies) staffs at the Bay. The bottle cost around $90, so they would make better commission pushing this stuffs.

BTW: It's better to stick to something classic. I am going back to my Azzaro.

Well I guess if you ask what's new that's the answer you are going to get. There were others that were recommended but I went with the one that I liked best and I have to admit name recognition also went into the purchase as well.
 
no one likes Old Spice anymore? or hai karate? ;)
 
Personally I don't wear it often and my fave was one called "Raquet Club" that isn't even made anymore. But a buddy of mine who likes the "fancier stuff" goes to the discount perfume places and saves some serious cash compared to Bay or other stores. The ads are in the metro daily free paper sometimes, one place upstairs in the mall at Lawrence and Allen and the other store is on corner of Dufferin and Lawrence. Why pay $70 for something you can get for maybe $20-$30 is his philosophy.
 
That's a good philosophy. Though, how does he know it's the real stuff in the bottles?
 
You can always stop in at Chapters each morning. Get a coffee at Charbucks, hit the magazine section and rub scent samples all over your body.:D
