Now that's manly. And it even smells nasty, which makes it particularly manly.

in fact, that stuff is so manly, you can slap it on after working out and not showering, and you can still smell it over your body odor. Manly. Pure manly if you can have BO and smell like an aftershave at the same time. Try that with penhaligons.

I politely disagree with this.I don't think it's nasty at all.Neither do the multitude of people who use it worldwide and it's been around for a loooong time.It's longevity is proof that it's not nasty.It is different though.

Two things:

First - Loueedecat, your posts just cracked me up. Thanks.

Second - Simply because something has been around for a long time doesn't mean it's not nasty. Pinaud is nasty smelling in my opinion. I opened a bottle to take a whiff in CVS one day and accidentally got a little on my finger. I think they could rename Clubman Pinaud to something more descriptive like "Gag Reflex", "Gag", or "Upchuck". I had to rename the fingers on my left hand. I had a pointer finger, a ring finger, a pinky finger, and a friggin nasty finger.

Here is something that people have been eating for a loooong time. Do you still agree that longevity is proof that something isn't nasty?

Notice the part that says it smells like sulfur and ammonia. Mmm Mmm good!


Most lightheartedly meant and hope we can still be friends,

I love the smell of napalm (whoops aftershave) in the morning. It smells like victory.

Manly is somewhat dangerous territory, what one man thinks is manly might come off as a bit unmanly to another. My choice is Ogallala Bay Rum or Old Spice.

My definition of manliness is something you could see Donald Draper from Mad Men wearing. He's essentially my quintessential man. If you're not familiar, he's a New York advertising executive in the late 1950's. He served in World War 2 (manly), he wears a hat (manly), smokes Lucky Strikes (manly), has 3 martini lunches during the work week (manly), and drinks martinis and rye, especially at work. (manly, manly, MANLY!). He also has affairs (i guess it was considered manly back then), is a raging chauvanist ( is that still considered manly?), and thinks Greenwich Village is "Too much 'art' for me" (definatley still manly).

If you like Clubman, that's a winner as far as my manliness scale goes. So is Dominica Bay Rum. Anything that's really vintage scores well on the manliness scale. Splashes would be more manly than balms. (various) woods, vanilla, tobacco, and musk are manly scents. Try something that emphasize those. I like C.O. Bigelow Black from bath and body works. Its woody with musk and vanilla, even though its not a splash.

I was frickin' rolling man. laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath.

i define manly as whatever gets women's attention the best. I was wearing Allure by Chanel for a long time, constantly got complemented on it. last time I ran out I switched to Dirty English because to me it was a very manly scent, wood, leather, good without being musky, which I hate (if I had a pelt I'd want musk). my wife got me one for Christmas, smells pleasant, light and a touch of citrus, but WAY too weak, no staying power. not a single complement or comment on it yet. I'm just gonna blow through it and go back to the Allure.

and the reason to wear cologne, um, same reason we want women to wear perfume, our food tastes better when it smells good.
