  July 22, 2008 at 16:05 Elf says i do notice it. In fact, there are some scents that I associate with certian people (in a good way)
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:05 kadance loves fierce by abercrombie and fitch.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:05 Jordayn7 says hell yea...I love a man that smell good...its a big turn on....
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:05 Dee says I notice it a lot too
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 bloggeries says i know a guy who said he worked only on scent. I've never worked on that so considering it. haha
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 Cassiopoeia I notice it, but it's usually negative - If I'm not right up against you, I don't want to be smelling it. If I can smell you when you leave
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 TwilaMarie omg YES
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 Cassiopoeia it's too damn much colonge
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 marjorie says Yes, I notice, but you have to be careful that it works w/ your body chemistry. otherwise it could just stink.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 jayeeeehn i notice it. depends on the cologne, too.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 LEMills yes, and not too much. overdoing it is worse than none at all.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 AndiJayne I hate cologne. Deodorant is a much better route--especially since it's harder to marinate in that.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 Georgiana says YES PLEASE. (Not implying you need it or anything. But it would be nice for us to walk by you and get extra hot and bothered)
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:06 Cassiopoeia Lots of guys wear too much - Spritz it in the air & walk through it, don't apply directly and never more than 1 spritz
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:07 Cassiopoeia wtf? sorry for the double
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:07 TwilaMarie did I say "YES!"
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:07 bloggeries says I was warned to only put a tiny mist or you'll be classified as a greasebag who over does it which ruins any positive gains.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:07 TwilaMarie likes it subtle, but finds certain colognes must have pheromones
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:08 andiesmith yes!!!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:08 bloggeries says cassiopoeia LOL that's what I was told.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:08 TwilaMarie i know Curves and Burberry's Of London for men just make me... i dunno... quiver
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:08 bloggeries says lol talespinner
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:08 topsurf yes I do I really do! BUY IT!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:09 topsurf sorry double plurk
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:10 bloggeries says wow like you can work on losing weight; doing your hair, brushing your teeth but never considerd cologne didn't know it was so well received
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:10 menstrualpoetry doesn't really enjoy cologne. I just prefer guys to smell clean, like soap/shower gel. Get the Old Spice shower gel, that stuff is great.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:11 bloggeries asks menstrualpoetry been doing the old spice for years!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:12 bloggeries asks if some are a turnon while others a turnoff. Isn't it safer to go no scent?
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:12 хσsтeрнಌ says yes yes! get some cologn. polo blue smells wooonderful.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:12 Cosey Mo says absolutely - hubby wears Burberry Touch and I swoon
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:13 bloggeries asks For Cologne Suggestions: Just keep listing em. Tell me why you like em to. Who cares about price.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:12 renkai advises - get you some Polo sport. cant go wrong
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:13 Jane Chin it really depends on your lady, bloggeries and what kind of perfume she wears.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:14 Jane Chin i personally can't take heavy scents (have worked in the cancer field too long, became sensitive to smells)! give me clean soap smell.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:14 bloggeries says janechin assume no lady.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:14 naomimimi says i do, but please don't do cologne AND aftershave. too much. light cologne lightly sprayed
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 Jane Chin bloggeries then it depends on what kind of lady you'd like to attract...
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 naomimimi says rule of thumb is that if she can only smell you if she's close (hug, sitting at dinner) then it's enough.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 kchealy agrees with LEMills and Cassiopeia. Don't buy the cheap stuff.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 naomimimi says if she can smell you walking by, it's too much.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 bloggeries says janechin so many factors.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 Gromit hates it when guys smell like cologne or aftershave. It makes me wheez.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:16 Jane Chin naomimimi touche!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 bloggeries says naomimimi what's aftershave?
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 Madame Maracas loves the smell of Clean guy, particular to that man smell, & cologne ONLY when close up. Fill the room & I'm out of the room, fast. Same f/gals
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:16 Heidi says we notice it when you pick a bad scent and bathe in it. Step away from the Drakkar Noir ...
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:15 Georgiana says Bear in mind different scents works differently on others. Try out a few before committing...
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:16 Gromit says naomimimi is right, walk by smells are icky.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:16 Jane Chin (and please don't go near Brut. no no no no)
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:16 naomimimi says i prefer burberry original or lacoste.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:17 Madame Maracas used to have a co worker (very married) that wore Drakkar Noir LOVED it on him ... had 2 b/f's that rocked Old Spice, most non-scented
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:17 naomimimi says and that rule goes for the laides too! i wear the old burberry london (now original) and i get so many compliments because i wear it lightly
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:18 Madame Maracas thinks anything detectable more than a foot away is too much.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:18 GemStar38 says it really depends on the cologne, some are not suitable for all people but a good smelling man is a very good thing
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:17 naomimimi says GB can only smell it when he holds me close.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:18 LEMills Davidoff's Cool Water (original scent)
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:18 bloggeries says So I can look at this plurk page and look at the person suggesting and assume that type of person likes a certain type lol.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:18 logicalharmony says I notice, but it shouldn't be strong enough that you can smell it unless you're hugging
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:19 naomimimi says can you tell i'm a modern but clean cut, preppy but sexy, audrey hepburn meets carrie bradshaw?
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:19 naomimimi says bloggeries take a gal pal along with you to help you pick a scent that goes well with your body chemistry. another nose helps.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:20 Cylithria says yes, it is always worth it. First thing I notice about a man is his cologne
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:20 logicalharmony says I agree with naomimimi Take another person!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:21 bloggeries says naomimimi no way. If she's a gal pal she's not the kind of girl I want to date so she will have dif ideas. I had an older sister who used
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:21 bloggeries says to give me advice when I was way younger. Later in life i realized the kind of guy she looks for is totally different than who I am lol.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:22 bloggeries says so all the advice was redundant and misleading.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:22 naomimimi says haha, i took my best guy friend and he hit it right on in helping me pick my perfume... so for me it worked.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:23 status_girl says IMO a man's not a man unless he wears cologne
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:23 naomimimi says but my mom would have me sprinkled liberally with chanel no. 5, so family isn't always the best... lol
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:23 naomimimi hates chanel no. 5
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:23 naomimimi has been wearing burberry for 4 years now
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:24 bloggeries thinks naomimimi you're right. When I'm in Toronto soon I'll get a girl I know there to help me out. Get some sunglasses2; mine r in pacific ocean
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:24 bloggeries says status_girl wow what a point of view!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:25 Jane Chin adding this to plurkaholics.com right now - too cool of a powerplurk example to pass up! www.plurkaholics.com/hot-right-now-men-get-your-cologne-advice-on-plurk/
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:27 Jane Chin bloggeries that is why I commented re: "depends on type of lady you want to attract!" your sis may not be the type you are attracted to..
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:27 ☠Яσ¢ќєяĴέηй☠ says absolutely. it's totally worth it.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:30 bloggeries says janechin I like all women. I guess I need something safe and subtle.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:31 Jane Chin maybe bloggeries just go to the cologne aisle in store and test some out... go with what YOU LIKE (bc it's part of who you are)
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:31 BethersJR says YES!!! A good clean smell on a guy is definitely a plus. But not too much. Agrees with www.plurk.com/user/naomimimi
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:31 SweetMadness i like it, just don't wear too much... and don't be afraid to spend a few extra bucks. quality over quantity is a good rule here.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:32 bloggeries says Is going to go try some on soon and grab what he likes, then go with some girls he knows and get others. I think 5 types would be good.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:33 bloggeries says and to think before I asked this I didn't think it really mattered / never gave it any interest.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:35 bloggeries is off to lnch; if you have any suggestions please list what and why. Be back in 1 hour. THANK YOU LADIES!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:35 pamelaweir says I like the body sprays. They aren't as powerful as cologne and they seem to blend more naturally.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:36 Karma Meg says bloggeries, yes,yes and yes...but not AXE, pls...
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:35 caitlin is late but loves cologne
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:37 Karma Meg shares Armani was what hooked me on hubs over 20 years ago...sensory memories mmmm
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:37 CHiC thinks that if bloggeries is a guy who takes care of himself - works out, eats well, is clean and not untamed hairy - that's super duper sexy
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:37 CHiC thinks cologne is an indication of a guy taking care of himself.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:42 rhyswynne I wear it, it's just a little extra effort
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:43 Plurkmaniac says certainly!ClaudiaHallChristian is right!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:45 Karma Meg says "not untamed hairy"
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:45 richpalmer from a serious allergy/asthmas sufferer here: NONE. I sometimes have to walk away from people cuz they literally make me sick.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:47 bella.nyc says i LOVE cologne. boys shouldn
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:47 bella.nyc says shouldn't go w/o EVER.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:48 Starfury says My bf's signature scent is Polo Sport, I luvs it hehe. It's nice to know he made the little extra effort some days
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:48 kwannon says cologne, in moderation, is great
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:50 richpalmer thinks that not everyone that wears cologne/perfume is "making an extra effort". Some are hiding poor hygiene with scents. (Yuk)
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:56 CHiC thinks richpalmer is accurate. If a great smelling guy who doesn't care for himself comes up - it's like eh, who cares?
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 16:56 CHiC tame the hair and belly then worry about how you smell
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:18 rosiepop says yes, a good smell will turn my head
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:18 rosiepop says a bad one will... well, you know the rest
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:28 chilean_goddess says yes if you smell good its great
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:43 sugabee says YES! It makes one hell of a difference no question! lol
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:43 bloggeries says wow what a response. Thanks everyone and the verdict is. Cologne is worth it. This has been a great focus group meeting lol
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:43 Snorkelbuddy says I like it when it is very light, but I have allergies and some make me sneeze; also NEVER wear cologne to the gym - ugh!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:45 bloggeries says lol seeing how I have maybe put it on 5X at peoples houses in the past. Not a worry just when it counts.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:46 bloggeries says veronicaromm I'll keep that in mind!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:54 TheDudeDean says menstrualpoetry I am an old spice guy as well.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:59 RenegadeScribe is amazed at the response. Good holy god!
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 17:59 RenegadeScribe loves using Pasha by Cartier. My wife loves it too. But not to much to overwhelm the olfactory nerves.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 18:34 Alousionist loves a man that smells good. safari for men by ralph lauren, lauder pleasures for men, nautica sunset voyage, dolce & gabbana light blue..
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 18:39 bloggeries says so much to learn.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 18:48 PlurkSensei doesn't like most of them.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 18:48 jflanigan ALWAYS notices. Totally worth it. Clean boy/man smell with a little cologne is totally hot.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 19:03 SweetMadness says invest in burberry... mmmm
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 19:42 Tom Waits bare feet are nice
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 19:43 Tom Waits although I have actually seen do,me pretty dodgy bare feet in NZ!!! Bare feet are the *thing* here for the resal Kiwi types... it seems..
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 19:45 bloggeries says winterchild are you talking about forgetting cologne and just taking my shoes off? WOn't fly up here
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 19:50 Chels says i notice colon. but i only want to notice it if i am getting close to u. like cuddling. i dont want to smell u from 4 feet away
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 19:51 BethersJR agrees with Chels
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 20:08 Chels says try sean john that new stuff from p diddy. it is very light and smells great
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 20:09 Monty says not if your married cuz my wife prefers me without it now.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 20:39 BethersJR respectfully disagrees with montyv. I am married and still love it when my husband puts on cologne.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 21:42 Jej loves men with a good cologne, but too much of a good thing...
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 22:00 RogueTess exhorts guys to remember that oftentimes *less is more.*
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 22:14 kaffee ans. to 1st post: yes! as most have said, regardless of brand, light scent should do it. Nothing overpowering, please.
• 
  July 22, 2008 at 22:28 Tom Waits No just bare feet.. are nice but maybe I should have said Clean bare feet!!
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 00:26 ♡♡wishful♡♡ says I notice it, but I guess it's like when a guy notices a woman's perfume, you don't want her drenched in it
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 00:27 ♡♡wishful♡♡ says I notice soap and deodorant (or the lack of) more than I notice cologne.
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 00:27 AsKatKnits says Oh, hell yes bloggeries. I always notice!
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 01:03 donwhite says Damn, that's the problem. I was supposed to wear cologne not rely on the pheromones. No wonder no groupies.
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 01:04 AsKatKnits says donwhite - I am a groupie!!
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 01:16 donwhite says AsKatKnits Well damn again. Here I am at the age when I need roadies more than groupies.
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 02:32 Becca L-Smith says I'm very sensitive to smell but it can be done in a very effective way. Just NEVER overuse.
• 
  July 23, 2008 at 23:51 pianomomsicle says yes, nothing better than a guy who smells good!
• 
  July 24, 2008 at 03:28 ashibby86 says yes, yummy. But not stinky cologne. Get a girl friend to help you pick it out.
• 
  July 24, 2008 at 18:48 classicalgeek ugh, leave it at the store.
• 
  July 25, 2008 at 06:26 MidnightMoon loves when guys smell like soap and toothpaste and deoderant, but not cologne
