Appropriate scents by industry

Genuinely interested in what people think are correct “scents” for each industry on WSO. Not looking for fancy cologne recommendations, but what would be a reasonable smell for someone in an industry to use for their soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc. Explanations/justifications are appreciated.

Figured FASH would be the most appropriate place for this, interested to know what people think (and maybe I'll follow any suggestions meant for HF/AM).

Example:
Real Estate - Cocoa, Corporate Finance - Old Spice, IB - sweat/desperation, etc.

Realistically: If you'd consider wearing it to the club, then don't wear it to the office. Think conservative, staid, responsible. Personally, I like Burberry Brit (men's) although that is far from a definitive recommendation.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
