I always notice some women just have the best perfume and it really does make them more attractive just from the smell alone. I’m wondering, what do you think is the best cologne for a man? Have you ever received a compliment?
I think it takes a bit of experimentation and what you think fits your style. Personally, I avoid ones that are overly sweet or smell to chemically.
My wife loves when I wear a cologne from Barrister & Mann, and it’s arguably my favorite as well. (Maggard Razors sells small samples if you want to try.
It does depend on the person and their regular scent. I hate the stupid commercials, but i love my husband’s Sauvage and Acqua di Gio.
You’re going to be smelling it the most, so with every recommendation just go smell them and find one you like. I inherited a bottle of Eternity for Men and after trying it a couple times and getting compliments its been my smell ever since. My father really liked Obsession for Men, but it just never smelled right for me.
You know who likes CK Obsession? Cats. Big and small.
This actually makes a lot of sense because our cat would always hang out in his room after he’d leave for the day when the cologne smells was fresh.
Oh boy, does this depend. I strongly suggest you wear what you like, and not worry about compliments.
Personally, Kouros and not too much of it is one I both notice and like but I do think it’s polarizing. I dislike aquatic musks and overly clean smells, laundry musks.
But again - it’s so individual you are better off pleasing yourself, if you smell good to you, you will be happier and that is attractive.
I use Black Opıum from Yves Saint Laurent. Women’s fragrances smell better, and aren’t as overpowering
I’m surprised to not see WD-40 topping this list.
I prefer ballistol, but to each their own
You plebs and your pathetic water-displacing stench. I wear the finest kano kroil
I’m a 3-in-1 man myself…
Just wait a bit.
You gotta figure it out. Go find a company that appeals to you and order a sampler pack. Try the samples one day at a time until you find the one that is you. I like this approach better than going to some store counter because you can take your time. After smelling one or two colognes, it’s very hard to be able to appreciate others, so ordering the sampler packs gives you time to decide.
Few of my colleagues like Alexandria Fragrances. I’ve had luck with Guy Fox. Both have sampler packs. It’s literally a rabbit hole of choices. One of my colleagues spends thousands of dollars on rare perfumes.
It depends on how well it combines with your skin, natural scent I guess.
Woman here, let me say, for me Polo by Ralph Lauren, it just tickles my brain in all the right ways. It’s a shame really that my husband doesn’t like strong smells on him because I’ve asked if I could buy him some cologne, and he always turns it down. Like I’m not even allowed to buy scented laundry detergent, it has to be the unscented kind.
Laundry detergent is bad for the environment and, according to some studies, also for you. Scented versions even more so.
Creed Aventus is really good, Creed products are good in general. But they are stupid expensive, sometimes you can find Aventus on sale at a price that won’t cost your first child though.
My favorites are Aramis, LaCoste and 4711.
Cologne is gross. Who wants to smell someone who thinks chemicals are an improvement. Bougie garbage…
Why not just let people enjoy things?
It’s not my fault it’s gross. You ever smelled somebody’s cologne and thought ‘wow, real class’? I always think ‘wow, the trashy hubris’. You do you though.
My cologne selection would get bonus points for upsetting you.
No, our paths will never cross. You can wear on whomever you want without ever getting to offend me. Everyone else could smell you coming if they wanted to avoid you anyhow you stinky fool.
I have quite a few. My wife’s favorites are Versace Eros, Versace Dylan Blue, and Dior Sauvage. My personal favorites are Mont Blanc Explorer, Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue, and Viktor Rolf Spicebomb Fresh.
Honorable mention to Azzaro The Most Wanted.
Me. I should sweat into bottles.
