Your favorite men's colognes?
You know, I dress like crap, getting married 10 years ago was pretty much the last time I wore a suit. I just don't care much about clothes, fashion, etc. I do appreciate many things however, good food, a really well engineered car, a fine mechanical watch, of course, :) and, I like to smell good!
I don't care about the BS marketing that surrounds fragrances, I just like the ones I like. I often hit the testers while waiting for my wife at the mall, or on a cruise, and when I smell one I like, I know I like it, and I don't really care who makes it. Anyway, I like scents that are what I take to be light, crisp, a little citrusy, and not heavy, overly sweet or overpowering. I vividly remember how I used to love the old green bottle Polo cologne, you know, in the 70's, early 80's, now when I look back, I can actually remember that smell very well, and wow, that is NOT one I'd be wearing today, I get a little nauseous just thinking about it. :) Pierre Cardin and Drakkar weren't any better. So far I like Dolce and Gabana light blue, and Sport, Armani Acqua Di Gio, Ed Hardy hearts and daggers, there's a Burberry I like but don't recall the name, there's a Calvin Klein I like called Summer, but the yellow/green one, the orange one is a little too sweet IMO. There's a Boss I like, it's a little heavy but still crisp, I think it's called Night or similar, in a tall, very dark blue bottle. Picked up a new Boss called Pure, so far I'm not 100% sure about it, bought it before I smelled it. I smelled one at the mall today that I really liked by Givenchy called Play Sport. Might grab one of those. I'm not really "into" these things, I just really like to smell nice, and I like to have a little variety. The same one gets boring. I usually have 4-5 different bottles at any one time. So, I'm wondering 2 things: One, any other light, crisp, citrusy colognes you'd recommend I try? And, are there any go to online shops that offer genuine product at a very good discount. Because one thing I hate even more than smelling bad, is paying retail. :) |
