    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.
