I think I'm a metrosexual (and I just love women, literally) and I want to appear the absolute best as I can. I use just two (sometimes 3) short sprays of cologne under my chin, CK1 or Stetson. I'm not sure it's even enough to detect unless my woman is near my face (like when she kisses me or snuggles me).

I think you should take a survey before assuming all metrosexuals douse themselves in cologne.
its not just men, its women too, they douse themselves and their clothes in perfume, and it stinks, you can smell them a mile off.
like James Bond in Russia with Love said when asked why Brits don't wear perfume, he replied "We Wash", obviously the pendulum has gone full circle.

I like your anecdote! Actually Bond was always the consummate gentleman, and deadly killer. The contrast was the attraction. By the way, he was wrong about one thing. It's stirred, not shaken. If you shake a Martini you melt ice and dilute the drink. You get a purer cocktail if you stir it briefly then drain.

My only quarrel was your use of the word ALL. Some do use too much, some don't. I'm pretty sure I'm a 'don't.' The thing is, you apply your cologne ONCE. After you have done that your sense of smell is useless in telling how strongly you have scented yourself. When in doubt, use less. Less can be more.

Used that way these two bottles have lasted couple years at 2-3 uses per week.

Am I correct that NO women like Old Spice?


You must not have read a few earlier posts... a couple of us stated that old spice was still our fav and I had mentioned Stetson. I like both.

Thanks writerwife! I'll have to trial test the Old Spice on a few dates, ask my date in advance what she thinks about it. I've been very satisfied with Stetson, although considering that it is difficult to tell what your cologne tells like to others. Mostly I do just two sprays out of caution in not over-doing it.

For those who said they "like the leather scent", Im curious what you think of "1 Million Pure" when you take your significant other to the department store, give a spritz or two of it on him and tell us what you think.

And why does leather scent never smell like leather to me?

Sure thing. Unlike a lot of others, I DO like to smell it. I don't want to have my face in his neck to smell it. I want to smell a little waft of it as a guy passes by. Not like he took a header into the bottle but, why wear it if I can't smell it?

And that is my problem, in not knowing whether I'm overdoing it or not I keep my use to a minimum. I'm guessing it's noticeable when we hug and kiss but I don't know for sure. I guess I should ask my date sometime.
