I'm curious as to what's popular with everyone, and why. Short answer is appropriate, but a short essay would be better.

Your responses will be graded.

I wear a light dash of cologne in social settings. I don't at work, though if I'm doing on-site training (as I did today), I'll consider wearing it. I always take a female friend along to shop for it with me so that they can tell me whether it works on me or not.

It is a fact of human nature that we like others to smell nice. The trick is finding something that helps you do that, and to not overdo it.

Huh? I work hard at developing that "natural tang." Wouldn't want to cover it up.

I'm not sure I trust the opinions of my women friends enough to do that, and I have no way of verifying whether or not what they're saying is truthful.

In my case, I take women friends who are already coupled up and who are looking to fix me up.

Not for years. I used to when I was single, but no more.

None.

I don't wear perfume or cologne to work, but on the rare occasions when I wear it out, I usually wear Banana Republic Classic. It's a very clean, light scent, and it's advertised as unisex, though I've never smelled it on a guy. I bet it would smell good on a guy. I always get compliments when I'm wearing it.

Nope. Ivory soap, J&J baby shampoo. Trying for clean and neutral.

Conspicuous omission of deodorant.

Well, the anti-persperant I use is Axe Essence.

...essence of axe? Gosh, that looks strange in print.

Anyway. I like it. Don't need nothing else.

My wife got me some cologne from Roots for Christmas. Probably should smell like Canada or a beaver or soomething, but it actually smells okay. Its subtle.

I was more of a cologne wearer in my single days.

Can't stand strong smelling stuff (cologne or perfume). I always wonder how those chicks can work for hours in the perfume section of dept. stores. Must kill a few brain cells.

Yep - answered that in the other thread. Don't worry, if my body chemistry changes, I'll hear about it.

CK one for me. No complaints and a even a few compliments.

Haven't worn cologne since college. When I did, it was either Gravity or Hero. (I have no idea which company makes either of those -- they were gifts.)

Body Shop Vanilla.

i pretty much only wear cologne when the wife and i go out or slap on some aftershave if i slice the hell out of myself with a too dull razor...

cologne is Cool Water and aftershave is a similarly smelling Old Spice...

Mothballs, wet clothes and cat anus for me.

I used the Roots stuff for awhile after a girlfriend gave it to me. Recently if I put anything on its Fragonard from France that I picked up a few years ago. Just a light dash.

Chanel Allure for Men, because my wife wears Chanel Allure for Women, and we are constant GroupThink with each other.

So do you allure each other?

That's the saddest part, Bill!
