Thread: Long lasting Cologne

Wonder if any body has found a Cologne that last more than two hours and whose price does not exceed the National Debt. I have experimented with a lot of Colognes and EDT's . I know that this is a personal thing but thought you guys might have some small insight into this. Just doesn't seem that you can get what you pay for these days. THANKS..........

Very few colognes last for long on me. I think part of it has to do with body chemistry and part of it is has to do with the cologne. From what I've read and experienced, citrus scents don't last very long unless they have other oils to carry them along. Taylors of Old Bond Street Victorian Lime No. 74 does last a good long while on me.

Old Spice and Hoyt's are less expensive scents that last a long time for me. At the higher end, Penhaligon's and Floris scents stay with me for the whole day as well. L'Occitan Vetiver and Guerlain Vetiver both last for a while and are in the middle on price - if you like vetiver.

Good luck!

Look out for Ferrari EDT (black) not the red bottle.

It's £12 over here which equates to around $20 and smells lush.

I normally use Jo Malone, Creed etc but after a recommendation from a VERY hot girl in my old work about this Ferrari. I must say, it's superb and lasts a long time.

Check the Saintcharlesshave.com colognes if you live in the US. They're cheap and will last for ages.

I ordered the 4.2oz FERRARI BLACK / EDT. It sounded too good so I couldn't resist.

First, if you've got dry skin you might benefit from applying some sort of moisturizer before cologne. I think dry skin tends to absorb the fragrance oils, killing the scent. You might also spray on your clothes, if the scent is pale in color. (There's one that is dark purple and supposedly stains clothes like red wine).

That said, I seek out the oldest formulations available. For instance, Chanel Antaeus is my favorite, but I buy old (80's era) bottles from a gent in CA. Every time a scent is re-formulated, it seems to get weakened, so the latest and greatest is not such a bargain IMHO. I'm wearing Antaeus today and can still smell it, 10 hours later. My shirt will still hold the scent tomorrow morning.

Trumper's also makes some powerhouses, and their sample program is reasonable. Estee Lauder also makes some monsters - for instance - Azuree, which carries a punch well above its price. If you've got concerns about walking up to the EL counter and asking for a women's scent, consider that Azuree is the twin of Aramis, and Azuree reminds me a lot of Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men.

Also cheap and interesting:

Diesel Zero plus Masculine.

€15 anywhere over here. Lasts for AGES.

Let me know when you have tried it, what your thoughts are..

I absolutely love the smell and as a matter of fact, it was just complimented upon no more than one hour ago by a girl in my class.

This could be dangerous, I'm married!!!

I'll let you know how I like it when it arrives. It's coming from L.A., so It might take 3 weeks to arrive in my neck of the woods.
