Favorite cologne?

My wife wants to buy me some cologne and is looking for some ideas. I currently wear nothing but used to wear a couple of different ones a few years ago.

If you have a favorite cologne, what is it? I am looking for something that I can wear most days, light but not fruity, and won't kill a badger if it gets too close to me (not too strong).

The Rolex women's opinions would be very welcome!

For a man, I like that Polo in the dark green bottle with the gold top. Yum!

Polo Green, classic. I used to wear that when I was in high school. That and Grey Flannel. I tried Paco Rabonne(?) once. Once. Just nasty.

That's how babies are made! ;)

Light but not fruity? Two that come to mind are Hugo Boss Elements Aqua and Davidoff Echo.

I agree with Ashley, and really like this one as well. However, Polo classic screams "ex-boyfriend" for me, so that is the main reason I don't personally care for it on hubby! If you are looking for light, I'd recommend Polo Sport - my fave for my husband.

This is my mom's favourite perfume, the version for women, but they don't make it anymore. But I'm sure the cologne is great too!

Old Spice I didn't think they made that stuff anymore

Is that CHROME to put on your dome

I prefer my natural pheromones, they drive the ladies....................out of the room

Actually, black code by Georgio Armani sounds interesting, anything stealthy is good for me

I stopped wearing perfume/cologne in the early 80's-when I was 14.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But when the wife wants to buy you cologne, you take the cologne. There's usually a nice side-effect of such a purchase

Good call. Also try almost anything by Penhaligons. Blenheim Bouquet and Endymion are my favorites.

I rarely wear cologne...I have a shelf full of bottles that have been sitting around for years.

But if I do put some one, it would be Burberry Touch or Kenneth Cole Black.
