Best smelling Cologne for a man... (Walmart, lotion, natural, thin)

I stopped wearing cologne a long time ago, for several reasons.

First, you'll never find a cologne that everyone likes. I used to wear Polo and got a lot of compliments from women. But then you run into women who say it smells like a horse stable.

Second, you can become desensitized to it after a while. So you have to put more on in order to smell it, but then everyone else thinks you're wearing too much.

Third, you're surrounded by all kinds of other scents that can become mixed with your cologne. Other people's cologne, perfumes, hair products, food, etc. After a while, it seems rather pointless to add a scent to yourself when it has to compete with so much else. Just stay clean, use deodorant, and wear clean clothes. Like so much else in the fashion industry, cologne is a scam. They get you to buy it and then a year later tell you that it's out of style and that you need to buy something else.

Anything called Obsession ought to be appealing to me...

I tend to wear men's fragrances half of the time, too. Joop was an old love of mine (the original, sort of magenta color), but I didn't discover it myself - it was a result of an even older obsession. Joop wouldn't smell right on everybody, but it is yummy on some. Now I'm considering Calvin Klein Euphoria (for women for a change ). Calvin Klein certainly knows his scents and his underwear...

Has anybody else noticed how the fragrances we tend to like come in packages of certain colors? All my bath products are blue and green (always having something to do with sea breeze, etc). Perfumes come in dark and sinful colors.

Geez, I got too carried away for 10:30 a.m… , but let me finish with an obsessed song for you guys, too! I discovered bachata last year on vacation and I love it.


YouTube - Aventura - Obsesion

It was going so well with the soft sand, the palm trees, and the pina colada in hand…. OK, excuse me, I’m gonna go and cry now…

I don't really like cologne on men. But if you're going to wear it, please take it easy. It's awful when a man, or woman, for that matter, reeks of cologne.

My old roommate used to dowse his pits and body with cologne body spray. It stunk horribly at all times.

Brut 33

Just kidding, that stuff does remind me of Bar B Que's, maybe it's the slight hint of lighter fluid.

I try to switch it up and not wear the same thing

I didn't think they made Grey Flannel anymore! I use to buy it a million years ago for my then husband. It was awesome!!!

I don't normally care for Polo, but went on a couple of dates recently with a man who wore it and Lord, did he smell divine!

I love when a man takes time to wear cologne!!!!!
