I'm having trouble deciding which cologne to get. I'm gonna buy some samples to see which one I like more. Which one do you guys like?
I heard Creed is really good (especially Green Irish Tweed)

Too pretentious?

never heard of clive christian however I definitely don't want to smell like lavender and sage... I just wear the classic D&G... Do you want to know what brand of nail polish I use too? (since you asked -> O.P.I.)
I like sharp and spicy fragrances, big fan of Kenzo, some Hugo Boss, Gucci has some nice ones too, or classic Calvin Klein cant go wrong
Completely agree. I wear Dolce & Gabanna cologne and it works out great.
none
Giorgio Armani Aqua Di Gio. Got the set as a gift nearly 2 years ago from a coworker, and still going strong. From Macys
Gucci (Man?) by Gucci. It's in a black bottle, silver cap. Pretty strong, but very good for a night out.
D&G The One. A bit less strong than the Gucci, reminds me of tobacco, leather and prefteej. I usually wear it to more formal occasions.
One Million by Paco Rabanne. Lighter than the rest, some fruity notes. Usually my daily spray-n-go cologne, tends to draw quite a few compliments.
They'll all run you roughly $60-$80 a pop.
I'd recommend you just go to Macy's, Sephora, etc and spend some time at the cologne counter.
Protip: Ask for coffee beans and sniff them often. Otherwise, your nose will be overpowered after 2-3 different scents.

Sex Panther
This.

Macy's: Your fragrance destination.
Seriously though, Lacoste is good. Also, The Beach by Calvin Klein.
.
Wear something light.
The best thing for you is to keep good hygiene habits. Having no smell is better than having some smell, even if it smells good to some. The thing you've got to understand is that, not all people consider a certain cologne as a good smell. So your best bet is to have no smell at all.
Ferragamo, Burberry, and some lighter Versace. I like Burberry...
Green Irish Tweed
What ever you do, don't over do it. Girls can smell d-bags coming...
Good point. This is why I do not use it.
Good hygiene and deodorant trump cologne. Unless you smell bad, it's unnecessary.
Hermes baby! Smells like flowery sandalwood and it is not the most common scent so it's a little intriguing. Think it is like $80 a go
Honestly, if you have a good girl friend take her with you to Saks. It's really how each cologne mixes with your body. You can't try them all on but find a few you really like and see if they work on you. I know a lot of guys who don't wear any and it works for them. They smell sexy without it.
Elite from Floris and Bulgari Soir. Dior Higher Energy for more casual days
After shave bro. Cologne is nothing but downside risk.
Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme
I wear no cologne, just Old Spice high endurance original scent. Girls say I smell great.
Well said, same and same.
Eau de Balsac
None, let the shower do the talkin (but you should probably wear some deodorant too, just in case, i don't know, you sweat ever)
Anyone else miss the days when everyone just wore Axe? No? Me neither
The most common mistake people make is buying cologne that is not suitable for the season. There are fragrances that are more suitable for fall/winter weather and others that are more suitable for spring/summer weather. If you work in a warm climate, I recommend wearing the spring/summer fragrances while wearing a fall/winter fragrance every once in a while to mix it up. I also recommend using AMAZON to purchase cologne, it is much, much cheaper.
Recommendations for fall/winter fragrances usually have some sort of deep wood smell, cardamom, or cinnamon in them; Hermes (Terre D'Hermes), Tom Ford (Oud Wood, Arabic Wood), Dupont (Noir), Salvatore Ferragamo (Incanto)
Recommendations for spring/summer fragrances usually have some bright, colorful smell, usually citrus-y and light; Lacoste (the Red one is excellent), Ralph Lauren (the Red color, #2 I think, is excellent), Paco Robanne (1 Million), Montblanc (Individuel is good)
This. I wear Wall Street by Victor in the Fall & Winter (http://www.basenotes.net/ID26121686.html) its a pretty distinguished retro scent that is definitely more formal than casual.
I actually just stick with A&F Fierce in the Spring & Summer...on the rare occasion something formal comes up I'll reach for the Bleue by Issey Miyake (http://www.basenotes.net/ID26123450.html).
I also second konig's amazon suggestion, I buy all my stuff via ebay and have never paid more than $50 for a bottle. In fact, I have made nearly $2000 selling cologne on that same website.

I like this choice, highly underrated and should definitely be considered by anyone in the workforce.
Tom Ford by Tom Ford in the Fall/Winter. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver in the Spring/Summer.
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme
Some of you guys take cologne way too seriously.
I just shower at least once daily and use nice-smelling soap. Don't need cologne and moreover, don't want people to note my "smell", good or bad.
I have a ton but it basically goes like this: Winter- Hanae Mori, John Varvatos Spring- Creed Royal Oud, Versace Man Summer- Kiton, Creed Aventus Fall-Hermes, Burberry Brit.... Probably my absolute favorite is Aventus, although it's a tad pricey.
Creed hands down, the ladies love it. Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, Vevitver (sp?), and Neroli Sauvage are my personal favorites.
I only started wearing cologne when I got an electric razor and thus stopped using aftershave though. If you shave with a blade just get some nice sandalwood aftershave, soothing and smells good.
Kouros...
I know Aqua Di Gio is amazing but nearly EVERYONE has it now a days...
Aqua di gio is great - I've gotten a lot of compliments wearing it. But a lot of people definitely wear this... anything Salvatore Ferragamo is good
Paco Rabanne 1 Million.
success donald trump
Armani Mania, bishes love it.
Right now I have ADG and some crappy Nautica stuff, and of couse old spice and some aftershave.
Looking to buy something else, but not looking to spend a lot money. So many options.
gucci
Fierce by Abercrombie (cliche, I know).
Winter: Burberry London, Boss Bottled Summer: Lacoste Essential, Dior Homme Sport Spring/Fall: Versace (The Dreamer), Armani Code
Yo shout out for The Dreamer. Girls LOVE The Dreamer
Tiffany Sport
Polo Double Black + old spice deodorant, lethal combination.
Eau Sauvage, Dior... it was the best, it is the best and it will always be the best. A timeless jewel!
Get vulva cologne. You don't even need ladies and already smell like a vagina.
Terre d'hermes, A subtle smell without stinking up the entire room, and when people smell you they are surprised in all the best ways.
do you guys wear cologne as a summer analyst?
No.
...
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Creed Original Santal Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme Ralph Lauren Black Acqua di Gio Tom Ford For Men Brooks Brothers New York
plus a few others. Top 2 are my staples
Aqua Velva or GTFO!
Noticed when I stopped wearing cologne I was actually getting more girls and about the same number of compliments on how i smell. If you don't have BO don't buy any.
I wear Axe Chocolate ;)
What concert costs 45 cents? 50 Cent feat. Nickelback.
I bought my boyfriend this cologne for his birthday and it smells exactly like Creed-Aventus! Jordan Belfort fragrance is half the price of Creed Aventus, long lasting and smells truly amazing! I would 100% recommend this cologne to anyone.
Thank God someone brought this thread back from the dead. If any of you are interested in starting to wear perfumes, check out the Basenote forums. They have pretty much anything perfume related. Not an advertisement, but just mentioning for the few users who are looking to learn more about the perfume/fragrance industry.
I like Creed's Aventus, but runner ups would probably be Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, Oud Wood, Neroli portofino. YSL's la nuit de l'homme is okay, but I find myself reaching for Aventus more often. It has gotten very popular in the past few years. Did you know Aventus was created for Napoleon?
Ralph Lauren Black
A couple of drops of cheap Talisker... or Aqua di parma

Hugo Boss Calvin Klein and Kenzo are my favourite

What do you smell like? (Originally Posted: 05/10/2011)
I realize this is a bit of a stretch since this forum is about fashion and for some that doesn't necessarily imply cologne/perfume, but alas, I would like to know what scent everyone is rocking to the office?
Now that I have my wardrobe all squared away, I really want to smell like a banker. J/K, I am currently at the tail end of my cologne and was looking for some suggestions as to which ones I should check out the next time I'm out and about. I currently wear Armani Code.
You??
Regards
