I always notice some women just have the best perfume and it really does make them more attractive just from the smell alone. I’m wondering, what do you think is the best cologne for a man? Have you ever received a compliment?

    It depends on how well it combines with your skin, natural scent I guess.

    Cologne is gross. Who wants to smell someone who thinks chemicals are an improvement. Bougie garbage…

        It’s not my fault it’s gross. You ever smelled somebody’s cologne and thought ‘wow, real class’? I always think ‘wow, the trashy hubris’. You do you though.

            No, our paths will never cross. You can wear on whomever you want without ever getting to offend me. Everyone else could smell you coming if they wanted to avoid you anyhow you stinky fool.

    This is actually a really difficult question, because the answer is “it depends”.

    Body chemistry can play a big part in scents. What smells good on one person might smell like absolute ass on another.

      You know what? Beer breath is horrible, but whiskey kisses quite nice. Whiskey does smell so good.

    I have quite a few. My wife’s favorites are Versace Eros, Versace Dylan Blue, and Dior Sauvage. My personal favorites are Mont Blanc Explorer, Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue, and Viktor Rolf Spicebomb Fresh.

    Honorable mention to Azzaro The Most Wanted.

    Really depends on who you ask. My wife has absolutely hated every cologne she has smelled so far.

    You’re going to be smelling it the most, so with every recommendation just go smell them and find one you like. I inherited a bottle of Eternity for Men and after trying it a couple times and getting compliments its been my smell ever since. My father really liked Obsession for Men, but it just never smelled right for me.

    It does depend on the person and their regular scent. I hate the stupid commercials, but i love my husband’s Sauvage and Acqua di Gio.

    Go to Sephora and try a few. Pick one that smells fresh. Ask the salespeople for help, they’ll probably be dying to help. Only one sprits when you use it. People sitting next to you should smell you, not people across the room.

      People sitting next to you should smell you, not people across the room.

      “Smell should be discovered, not announced.” Some of the best advice I’ve learned.
