cologne/fragrance

Is it bad to only stick to a couple of main ones? I have a few I'm running through and want to make my signature scents, but it seems like whenever I hear advice on that stuff it always says to have over three in your rotation. Why, exactly? I've heard you can trigger scent memories better if you stick to only a couple.

what i do is use 3 main ones and just stick to them, and i get quite a few compliments on the ones i use.

basically i have these 3 as my mains ones

ultraviolent - paco robanne < possibly the best scent ever
aqua di gio - georgio armani < best scent before i discovered ultraviolet
and last but not least usher - usher perfume

this last one i discovered recently and i think it goes well with my body chemistry. the reason i like to alternate is that it gives u a next feeling of confidence. when i go out with ultraviolet i know i smell good and that girls will hug me just to get more of this perfume in.

the reason it gets changed up is to make it interesting so when they smell u again they will think rahhh you smell good all the time

but if i had the same one on all the time it can tend to get boring...

I say have atleast 2.

I have

Aqua Di Gio by Armani.... amazing smell i have gotten good compliments from it and its wicked

Cool Water by Davidoff....a very good daytime cologne cause its not too strong but it has a nice smell to it

hummer h2 cologne.... my crappiest one but it still smells good plus its pretty cheap

Also if your looking for a wicked strong cologne,check out Jean Paul.

cool water is pretty **** in my opinion but to each to their own

Typically i'll wear Aqua Di Gio.

though there is something i've tried that gave me mixed results.

i wore my typical armani stuff, but before that i got sprayed by some of my then GF's perfume, Light Blue by Dolce Gabbana.

You could only really smell my armani after but as i was walking around (i was at work) i got complimented by random women about how i smelt. Even women i rarely talked to commented on it.

it was strange, so i looked it up, there's some theories that the women's nostrils subconciously pick up the perfume, and aren't as offended by the stronger male cologne.

i've tried it a couple times, sometimes i get a reaction, and sometimes i don't, wonder if anyone else knows more.

I stick with a few favs and find nothing wrong with it. I keep different colognes for different situations. I also tend to stick with the light, citrusy, fresh scents. I don't really feel like I'm old enough, or have the right style for a woodsy/musky cologne. I also don't think you need to constantly change your smell to "keep it interesting" your personality should do that.

I wish I could find them, but I've actually read up on a few experiments involving women and cologne/perfume. They found that women actually prefer the smell of female perfume. Now I'm not suggesting to go douse yourself in girly perfume..... but it might work

obviously u dont need to keep changing ur perfume to keep it interesting, but in a sense it works for me, each to their own

I get what you're saying, just trying to clarify it, not knocking on ya by any means

a light work out before you go out helps too. Just enough for a light sweat. Not only does it get your blood flowing and make you more alert, many studies show that women are exponentially attracted to the trace smells left after a work out than to peerfume on its own. Don't go and be a sweaty mess, just a couple dozen push ups.

I tend to be a huge young fogey with colognes...

I like the vintage scents (think Pinaud Clubman or Old Spice). I tried Cool Water for a while and ended up having my brother slip me a 20 for it...not really my type of scent.
