Questions regarding colonge selection

[friendz4evr]

Instant panty remover!!

I use both. Do you think it'll work for me?

Here's what I do. Don't laugh, it works for me.

I don't really have a preference for colognes, and normally I don't wear any.

The girl I want to go out with - I ask her what cologne she prefers, if any. If she knows, I get it and use it when I see her.

If she doesn't, we go out shopping. We try various colognes - it's fun! We get what she prefers, and I use that when I see her.

I just want to add a quick note to what Strongbeau was saying earlier. Going to the mall and picking out scents for both yourself and the lovely lady you have chosen for your day out, all make for great first dates. Something fun, interactive, and most definitely creative are all that is needed to ensure that she will want to see you again. Shelling out some dough to get her some perfume and perhaps some dinner is a small price to pay for whatever may happen in the future. I don't know...just an idea I guess.

These are the ones I use:

L'Eau Par Kenzo

Dolce & Gabbana Eau De Toilette

Issey Miyake

That's a good philosophy. Though, how does he know it's the real stuff in the bottles?

Usually says "tester" and comes in plain cardboard packaging. Plus I'm guessing if someone was selling knock off colonge as the real thing, the real colonge people would get a little hostile as thier reputation was being damaged by the fake stuff.

1. I've taken to buying only 50ml size or smaller cologne bottles. Less cash outlay, and you are not stuck with a large bottle of something that you thought you liked, but you quickly tire of.

2. Some colognes have better staying power than others, and that is important. You don't really know which kind has staying power on you until you try it for a couple days.

3. I like variety, so even though I have found several successful colognes over the years, I seldom go back to a brand immediately.

4. Let a department store salesperson help you. They have more refined noses, and are more articulate about fragrances than we are, and they will generally be honest with you. They are always pushing one or two new products, but they're pretty honest about that also. You just listen to their latest spiel, and if you are not interested in that fragrance, they'll bring out others for you to try.

If you end up buying something from them, and are pleasant, they typically will load you up with various free samples of other cologne products: great for travel, and these will give you ideas for next time.
