bloggeries asks Jul 22, 2008 04:04PM LADIES - Is it worth it for guys to buy cologne; do you really actually notice it? Pondering buying some.
Elf says Jul 22, 2008 04:05PM i do notice it. In fact, there are some scents that I associate with certian people (in a good way)
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:06PM i know a guy who said he worked only on scent. I've never worked on that so considering it. haha
Cassiopoeia Jul 22, 2008 04:06PM 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
marjorie says Jul 22, 2008 04:06PM Yes, I notice, but you have to be careful that it works w/ your body chemistry. otherwise it could just stink.
Cassiopoeia Jul 22, 2008 04:06PM Lots of guys wear too much - Spritz it in the air & walk through it, don't apply directly and never more than 1 spritz
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:07PM 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.
TwilaMarie Jul 22, 2008 04:08PM i know Curves and Burberry's Of London for men just make me... i dunno... quiver
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:10PM 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
menstrualpoetry Jul 22, 2008 04:10PM 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.
bloggeries asks Jul 22, 2008 04:12PM if some are a turnon while others a turnoff. Isn't it safer to go no scent?
bloggeries asks Jul 22, 2008 04:13PM For Cologne Suggestions: Just keep listing em. Tell me why you like em to. Who cares about price.
Jane Chin Jul 22, 2008 04:13PM it really depends on your lady, bloggeries and what kind of perfume she wears.
Jane Chin Jul 22, 2008 04:14PM i personally can't take heavy scents (have worked in the cancer field too long, became sensitive to smells)! give me clean soap smell.
naomimimi says Jul 22, 2008 04:14PM i do, but please don't do cologne AND aftershave. too much. light cologne lightly sprayed
Jane Chin Jul 22, 2008 04:15PM bloggeries then it depends on what kind of lady you'd like to attract...
naomimimi says Jul 22, 2008 04:15PM rule of thumb is that if she can only smell you if she's close (hug, sitting at dinner) then it's enough.
Madame Maracas loves Jul 22, 2008 04:15PM 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
Heidi says Jul 22, 2008 04:16PM we notice it when you pick a bad scent and bathe in it. Step away from the Drakkar Noir ...
Madame Maracas Jul 22, 2008 04:17PM 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
naomimimi says Jul 22, 2008 04:17PM 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
GemStar38 says Jul 22, 2008 04:18PM it really depends on the cologne, some are not suitable for all people but a good smelling man is a very good thing
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:18PM 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.
logicalharmony says Jul 22, 2008 04:18PM I notice, but it shouldn't be strong enough that you can smell it unless you're hugging
naomimimi says Jul 22, 2008 04:19PM can you tell i'm a modern but clean cut, preppy but sexy, audrey hepburn meets carrie bradshaw?
naomimimi says Jul 22, 2008 04:19PM bloggeries take a gal pal along with you to help you pick a scent that goes well with your body chemistry. another nose helps.
Cylithria says Jul 22, 2008 04:20PM yes, it is always worth it. First thing I notice about a man is his cologne
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:21PM 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
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:21PM 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.
naomimimi says Jul 22, 2008 04:22PM haha, i took my best guy friend and he hit it right on in helping me pick my perfume... so for me it worked.
naomimimi says Jul 22, 2008 04:23PM but my mom would have me sprinkled liberally with chanel no. 5, so family isn't always the best... lol
bloggeries thinks Jul 22, 2008 04:24PM 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
Jane Chin Jul 22, 2008 04:25PM 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/
Jane Chin Jul 22, 2008 04:27PM 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..
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:30PM janechin I like all women. I guess I need something safe and subtle.
Jane Chin Jul 22, 2008 04:31PM 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)
BethersJR says Jul 22, 2008 04:31PM YES!!! A good clean smell on a guy is definitely a plus. But not too much. Agrees with www.plurk.com/user/naomimimi
SweetMadness Jul 22, 2008 04:31PM 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.
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:32PM 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.
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 04:33PM and to think before I asked this I didn't think it really mattered / never gave it any interest.
bloggeries is Jul 22, 2008 04:35PM off to lnch; if you have any suggestions please list what and why. Be back in 1 hour. THANK YOU LADIES!
pamelaweir says Jul 22, 2008 04:35PM I like the body sprays. They aren't as powerful as cologne and they seem to blend more naturally.
Karma Meg shares Jul 22, 2008 04:37PM Armani was what hooked me on hubs over 20 years ago...sensory memories mmmm
richpalmer Jul 22, 2008 04:45PM from a serious allergy/asthmas sufferer here: NONE. I sometimes have to walk away from people cuz they literally make me sick.
Starfury says Jul 22, 2008 04:48PM 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
richpalmer thinks Jul 22, 2008 04:50PM that not everyone that wears cologne/perfume is "making an extra effort". Some are hiding poor hygiene with scents. (Yuk)
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 05:43PM wow what a response. Thanks everyone and the verdict is. Cologne is worth it. This has been a great focus group meeting lol
Snorkelbuddy says Jul 22, 2008 05:43PM 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!
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 05:45PM lol seeing how I have maybe put it on 5X at peoples houses in the past. Not a worry just when it counts.
RenegadeScribe loves Jul 22, 2008 05:59PM using Pasha by Cartier. My wife loves it too. But not to much to overwhelm the olfactory nerves.
jflanigan Jul 22, 2008 06:48PM ALWAYS notices. Totally worth it. Clean boy/man smell with a little cologne is totally hot.
Tom Waits Jul 22, 2008 07:43PM 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..
bloggeries says Jul 22, 2008 07:45PM winterchild are you talking about forgetting cologne and just taking my shoes off? WOn't fly up here
BethersJR Jul 22, 2008 08:39PM respectfully disagrees with montyv. I am married and still love it when my husband puts on cologne.
kaffee Jul 22, 2008 10:14PM ans. to 1st post: yes! as most have said, regardless of brand, light scent should do it. Nothing overpowering, please.
Tom Waits Jul 22, 2008 10:28PM No just bare feet.. are nice but maybe I should have said Clean bare feet!!
♡♡wishful♡♡ says Jul 23, 2008 12:26AM 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
♡♡wishful♡♡ says Jul 23, 2008 12:27AM I notice soap and deodorant (or the lack of) more than I notice cologne.
donwhite says Jul 23, 2008 01:03AM Damn, that's the problem. I was supposed to wear cologne not rely on the pheromones. No wonder no groupies.
donwhite says Jul 23, 2008 01:16AM AsKatKnits Well damn again. Here I am at the age when I need roadies more than groupies.
Becca L-Smith says Jul 23, 2008 02:32AM I'm very sensitive to smell but it can be done in a very effective way. Just NEVER overuse.
MidnightMoon loves Jul 25, 2008 06:26AM when guys smell like soap and toothpaste and deoderant, but not cologne
