Cologne is the word you want. Perfume is for women.

Cologne is the word you want. Perfume is for women

Here is the line-up, everything except Extrait De Parfum. Cologne is 2 to 5% perfume.

I literally want Perfume, or Extrait De Parfum, at the very least Eau de Parfum.

I think the word is fragrance. I wear Dior Homme 2020. It’s almost finished, so I’m also looking for something new. I used to own a lot of fragrances, but it became a money pit since there were many I never used or just impulse-bought.

Social media and YouTube sell the illusion that fragrances can be compliment magnets or turn you into a womanizer who attracts a lot of women with his scent, but sadly, that isn’t the case. It is just the cherry on top.

Wearing just one scent is like wearing just one underwear, my personal opinion.

Dior Homme 2020

Problem with that is price. You spend $120, and you wear that **** for a year, smelling the same all the time, like a retard. I've done that. Wearing same cologne all the time is like wearing same underwear, it's not cool. I'm going for a day or two with one, then switch to another, and also different colognes for different occasions. That's why you see bunch of dupes in my list. Something cheap, but something that is praised by many. This way I could have 2, 3, 4 for $100.

That Urban Man Elixir that I bought smells like something you'd buy for $450.

Yes technically true, but in America during conversation, women wear perfume, men wear cologne. If you go to a department store as a man and tell them you want perfume they are going to take you to the female fragrances.

I think this topic is really subjective, so go ahead with whatever works best for you. My preference is to have a signature scent that people know me for and that gives me confidence.

Mixing your scent with a good Men’s lotion, after shave, deodorant, after shower smell- soap/shampoo, etc…not just the cologne, you gotta work on the overrall scent here.

I never really understood the purpose of cologne/perfume. Sure, maybe it can provide a good first impression or short term gain, but what's next? Lets say you attract a women in part because she liked a cologne you were using. Then what, are you just going to use that all the time now? What if she one day finally gets a whiff of your natural body odor/pheromones and hates it, but never knew it because it was always covered up?

It's not much different than dating a woman who uses a lot of makeup and then one day seeing her come out of a pool.

We already accentuate and hide our bodies with clothes, but at least those serve a purpose of demonstrating our invidualism and keeping us comfortable, and the facade they create does not last long.

Love armaf...will never buy anything but Dubai scents from now on...so strong even after washing my clothes I can still smell them.

Hawas for men also is a great smelling one as well....more light and crisp

The late Kevin Samuels would do reviews on various products. Like the guy or not, he had great insight on how to style yourself. The greatest takeaway I had from him was his cologne product reviews. They were almost always spot on and fit my preferences/style. Venues I freuent became a lot more fun when I would select a scent appropriate to the setting or formality.

There are also several aromatic beard oils out there. For colognes, I strongly prefer Spice Bomb Eau de Toilette or Spice Bomb Night Vision. One has a "spicier" scent that makes the ladies curious and want to hug you on greeting and departing. The Night Vision variant is better in warmer seasons in my opinion while the regular spice bomb is ok year round. I like those because while they are potent, they're not invasive or overpowering. They stay on easier and I'm a biker so take it for what it's worth. I also really like Sean John

A good second fiddle (definitely cheaper) would be Polo Black Classic Match or Lacoste Eau de Parfume. Sean John gets a few compliments as well, but nothing compared to the head turning I get with spice bomb. If you're REALLY on a budget Adidas Moves is pleasant and gets similar complements with colognes that are easily $20 dollars more. It tends to wear off pretty quick. If you don't mind, a little on the shirt collar lingers more than on the neck or exposed skin. You get what you pay for sometimes.

I've never experimented with it myself, but I know of people who make their own fairly easy and it's not hard for them to replicate certain scents. Some independent barber shops sell these and have a "roll on" delivery system. Definitely budget friendly, but you'll re apply at least once mid event. They'll slip in a pocket easy.

As far as the beard oils go I highly recommend Warlord. They're vet owned and have other products too. I've been spending on other things lately, but I'd like to try the Dark 30 Cologne they have. The products I like personally are the beard oils. My lady likes them as well and always asks what it is that she is smelling. Her favorite scent is "Tortuga" while my favorite scent is "Outlaw." Outlaw has a new car leather/musk scent while Tortuga is a sweeter smell. Morocco is in between the two of those. Apache smells a lot like a lit campfire.

As a final note be sure to SHOWER! I wouldn't say this if this wasn't surprisingly an issue. All the great product in the world won't make up for that. Depending on work, chores, or play, sometimes two showers are necessary! I know this topic is cologne, but it whetted my appetite to share one of my strongest Don Juan traits. Smelling great. It gives off great "vibes" and signals.
