Hey you left out body spray!! I prefer a spritz of very mild body spray, clean body, some mild deodorant, and body odor (pit odor) is ok if not too strong or dirty smelling. So ya, pheromone + other very mild scents is ok.

body sprays are the best. Not as strong as a cologne. Not as fruity as a perfrume. Just perfect for guys....but wouldn't really work for macho butch guys. Regular pit odor should be just fine for them. LOL

I'm also surprised that the guys in your office don't smell right - you'd think they'd LISTEN to all those ads in GQ!
But to me, baby smell means throw-up and full diapers...
I agree about the unisex thing, but that's for another thread on another day...
It's been talked about some on other threads. I'm in the minority (what else is new... ) who likes nice pheromones + nice perfume.
I not only agree, I disagree. On the one hand, I am squeaky clean, but I also use a spritz of cologne every day. It's a very subtle one, so you can't smell it unless you're really close. On the other hand, I HATE when everyone in the room is wearing cologne and perfume. ESPECIALLY SINCE NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THAT TEN SPRAYS IS TOO MUCH. I would rather smell clean, neutral, nothingness than out of control perfume or out of control body odor, or both! Give me YOUR office setting any day sierra.
And everyone teach your kids to apply cologne lightly to a couple of pulse points like the ankles or back of the knees. Don't shoot three full shots on your upper body anywhere, not only will it be overpowering, but since scent rises with heat, it'll evaporate towards the ceiling. Spraying it on your lower body, in a very light manner, causes it to rise slowly around you, creating little whiffs of the scent without being overpowering. And you can match your cologne with the season. Heavy colognes you should save for colder weather, and lighter colognes for the summer. The more you sweat in the heat, the more powerful it will make your cologne smell.
You could also look into scented male bodywashes, there are lots of them now. Cologne companies make them with the scent of their cologne built in, such as Hugo Boss. You use it as shampoo also, and when you're rinsed off you retain a little bit of the scent without smelling like you dumped a bottle of the stuff down your chest
