Poll question: Men's fragrances
I'm considering a new cologne and would like some feedback on what's out there (without getting half a dozen fragrances sprayed in me that I then can't distinguish from one another).

Which do you ladies (and guys) prefer (or write in your own):

Thanks!

1. Perry Ellis America.
My favorite fragrance.

I still like Polo for Men, though.

2. What kind of REAL man worries about garbage like that.
Get some Old Spice and splash it on. Save yourself a whole lot of money.

Of course, if there was a fragrance out there that smelled like brand new hundred dollar bills that might work as well.

People might not know what it was but I'll bet you could get a job with the Bush administration, or even tapped for Skull & Bones.

34. alright then........

"What's a man now-what's a man mean

Is he rough or is he rugged

Is he cultural and clean

Now it's all change-it's got to change more

Cause we think it's getting better

But nobody's really sure


And so it goes- go round again

But now and then we wonder who the real men are"

8. Obsession for men, CK-1, Pierre Cardin
(Although, considering my current employment status, I probably should just stick with Brut in the economy-sized five-gallon can...)

9. Get several of them. Then you can change it up whenever you want
plus, each bottle will last longer if you have more of them. That's what I've always done.:)

10. Depends on where/when it's to be worn
For the past couple years I've been wearing:

Chanel Pour Homme for business-

" " Egoiste Platinum for Dressy/Formal, business dress- slightly sweet/citrusy

Chrome for casual/business casual- very clean scent

Z-14 occasionally for weekends- slightly peppery, pheremone-y scent (something about the smell of this and Red that I've always loved!)

17. Oh, YECCH!
Stinkwater for dudes?

Chemicals make me sick enough as it is. Do I really have to wear them to get me a chick?

Why can't I just stick my thumbs in my pockets and describe her skirt in an extremely lewd manner?

--bkl
Why indeed?

21. None.
My lovely wife is deathly allergic to such fragrences.

Back in the day, though, I rather liked "Metropolis".

22. I am a big fan of Emporio/Armani
It's the one that has a male and female version. The male in the gray metal cylinder with a little bulge, and the female in the white cylinder with a little dent. I think that the male is called Emporio, and the female is Armani.

24. Muchacho, Halston z-14 made me WEAK in the knees on the right man...
I remember to this day THAT man and that cologne on him, and how when I met him, he kissed me on the cheek and I had to lean back against the wall.... all weak in the knees.

We had a torrid love affair that carried on across the entire United States for a number of years. He became a very famous drummer for a very famous rock n roller... but sadly met his maker 2 years ago.

Loved that man.... and that cologne still makes me weak on the right fella.

26. My husband wears Nobile by Gucci
I got it for him because I liked the scent (and he seems to like it), but I prefer au natural. If cologne must be used, it should be very minimal. Nothing worse than kissing somewhere on a man and ended up with the flavor of rubbing alcohol. They are much tastier naturally. :D

30. Is Lagerfeld passe now?
I've alway thought that that was THE ideal scent on a man provided he didn't put on too much. Wearing too much alters the smell altogether, otherwise it's heavenly. In a masculine way, that is.:)

31. Joop!
I love the smell of it. I was going to get some for my son for Christmas, but it turns out I like the smell of leather too, so he got a leather jacket.

42. St. John's Bay Rum -- in the cane-wrapped bottle...
This stuff is a classic, and it smells good enough to drink!

Has a clean, clove-like scent that's not overpowering, and that fades with time.

The ladies love this stuff, too. :evilgrin:
