Thread: Cologne anyone?

Is it just me or the older some women get the more their perfume taste turns to "weed killer" variety. Do their smell buds die off as they age? Perhaps it's a negative cycle of their perfume actively killing their sense of smell hence the need for ever increasing quantities?

I think I read somewhere that as we age our sense of smell does diminish. But that doesn't explain the 20 and 25 year olds running around with 3 quarts of perfume on.
That's also my biggest fear when it comes to this stuff. Don't wanna end up one of "those guys".

I believe that comes from nobody telling them that one bottle does NOT equal one application.
plus they constantly reapply throughout the day.

I used to live by Armani Acqua Di Gio, but my girlfriend gave me a bottle of Versace last week and I really like it. Both are very light with one little daub, and unholy and overpowering with more than that.

+1 on the girls/guys who's perfume/cologne can be seen in the air with a lazer-pointer - haha - I encounter that all too often on campus. Not so much here, though, as I did at A&M.

I've been enjoying the Trumper colognes. My favorites are GFT, eau de quinine, wild fern and the eucris EDT. You can get a sampler pack from their web site that has about 10 cologne samples along with some shave creams and their skin foods.

Pinaud Clubman is a good aftershave, their Citrus Musk cologne however has a longer staying power, but still has that bergamot undertone that I always associate with Pinaud and really like.
IMO,,
Cheers.

Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male
Hugo Boss - Energize
Ermenegildo Zegna - Uomo
and I still like CK - One
