MAC Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I've bought several colognes recently and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations? So far I have purchased the following: 1. AngelMen by Thierry Mugler 2. Brit by Burberry 3. Cool Water by Davidoff 4. Lalique Pour Homme by Lalique 5. Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier 6. Polo by Ralph Lauren (Blue) 7. Romance by Ralph Lauren 8. 360 by Perry Ellis The ladies do like men that smell good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I would be concerned about the water content clogging the fuel filter. Or, are you using it in the windshield washer? -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Texas Jim Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I would be concerned about the water content clogging the fuel filter. Or, are you using it in the windshield washer? I would think in the windshield washer. The alcohol / water combo should be good for cleaning bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Cadillac owners would be sophisticated and thus would know colognes. Ahhh...guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have found that a good way to pick colognes is to ask your date / significant other to select a fragrance she prefers on you.

I'm on my own. Actually, a female coworker mentioned Angel and I also did some Internet research and found which colognes are popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just don't pick one that reminds her of her X, smells are a memory trigger.

Regis Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Scents should be worn to create an overall balance. An individual with a strong personality might want to choose something along the lines of Eternity for Men, Drakkar, and other more subtle fragrances. And a more "quiet personality" might want to look at Brut, 94 Octane, 10W-30, Buck Lure, etc. But I have say that whether you're a chest pounder or an overly active clothing shopper, no man should ever wear a fragrance with Angel in its name lest you be in drag.

BodybyFisher Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hmm that sounds like good advice to me... Come to think of it, Angel reminds me of Victoria Secret models.

Since I suffer from cluster headaches as well as headaches easily triggered by perfumes etc., my advise to you is "soap and water". Clean just smells so lovely to me. I have a nose like a bloodhound, I can usually sniff out things no one else can smell and it's this strange gift that makes my head explode every time I'm in a public elevator and someone comes strolling into the elevator smelling like a french whore. My mother always said a good perfume is only detectable when you're very close to the person wearing it. If you're stinking up the entire neighborhood, you're wearing cheap roach spray. There's also nothing sexy about triggering migraines or asthma attacks in others. Just something to keep in mind as you pick your poison. If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, too much will give me a headache so I keep it toned down. I wouldn't want to impose my cologne on others so I agree that cologne should only be noticeable when standing close by. Colognes today are not what they use to be as far as strength. I suppose there are some out there that have a strong fragrance along the line of Aramis, which has been around since 1965. But by and large, most are subtle unless they're poured on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 . . . . Just something to keep in mind as you pick your poison. I once complimented a colleen on her perfume and asked what she was wearing. She answered, "Poison." I took that as a brush off. It was some time before I came to realize that was actually a brand name. I no longer ask questions like that.

The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 All right, make all the fun you want. A couple of female co-workers really like Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier. You might want to check it out at Macy's or other higher end store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm wearing Angel today--very nice and not too heavy. I hear Armani Code Black is a good pick but I haven't checked it out yet. I'm going to check out Euphoria and Versace Man. Thanks for the tips. There are so many colognes out there and some of the less expensive ones are very nice. Acqua di Gio is one that I want to get also along with Lalique Pour Homme. The Perry Ellis 360 blue and white colognes are nice also. The white is very similar to La Male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
