I would have to say that my personal favorite is ‘Blue Jeans’ by Versace. ‘CK1’ is a close second. Both of them have a light ‘clean’ sort of scent and aren’t overpowering, all of which leads up to ‘sexy’. I don’t think you could go wrong with either of those. CK1 even smells different from person to person (yet somehow I can still identify it as CK1), which means that it becomes very individual to you. All of those heavier aftershave musky things are still in fashion for older men, but definitely not for the younger crowd. We want to breathe in your presence, after all. 🙂 My recommendation would be to go by the cologne counter and sniff a few bottles (be careful not to hold them too close; some of them are strong enough to singe your nose hairs and you won’t be able to smell anything else for hours (ps, you *don’t* want that one)). If you smell something you like, dab a bit on your wrist and test it out for the next couple of hours. I’ve had perfumes and colognes that smelled lovely in the bottle but horrible on me b/c something in the cologne didn’t interact well with my body chemistry.

I think the natural, musky scent of a man (I’m not talking unwashed here) is the most sexy and alluring. I have smelt Old Spice on other guys and it does smell kinda nice, but I prefer no cologne at all on my man. It’s often been my experience that lots of men don’t like wearing colognes or perfumes because they think it’s unmasculine, and the guys who do wear cologne tend to overdo it and stink the place out. I think the most attractive smell on a man is the lingering, subtle scent of a fresh soap wash. It is so lovely to kiss a man straight after he has had a shower and he’s so zingy and clean. There’s nothing like it. This idea that perfume or cologne is indispensable to sex appeal and romantic situations is total rubbish. It’s simply a marketing line fed to you by cosmetics companies to get you to pay out a fortune for their horrendously overpriced products. Don’t fall for it. People have been falling in love and making love for thousands of years, with or without wearing perfumes. I think scenting the skin is a very European/American practise anyway. The fact is, a lot of Asians like Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc, have very sparse apocrine glands (major sweat glands under the arms and in the genital area). Many have no apocrine glands at all, consequently they have little or no body odour in these places. Due to this natural odourlessness, many Asians find the practise of wearing perfume or cologne absolutely shocking. Marilyn Monroe’s famous remark that Chanel No.5 was the only thing she wore to bed, offended and horrified many Japanese because she was suggesting that perfume was something you wore on your person. In Asiatic races this is simply not done at all, with Asians prefering to scent rooms with incense rather than the European practise of scenting bodies. The Japanese go out of their way to avoid wearing commercial perfumes and fragrances, as these are considered FAR too strong to be worn. To perfume the body is completely alien to the Japanese, in fact they consider it ‘bodily-pollution’. I sometimes wish people in the West would follow this approach and stop wasting time and money on these trivial material things.

Name : Sarah22082, City : London, State : DC, Country : United Kingdom,I was never big on cologne, it was all the same to me, until someone, who later became my boyfriend, turned my head wearing a cologne called ETERNITY. its a clean, fresh scent. very masculine but fresh. GIRLS LOVE IT! I know I DO. even those other more expensive colognes do nothing for me. this one has the IT factor. try it out. oh, and i agree the cologne will do nothing for you if your aren’t fresh out of the shower. Dont try to use cologne to cover up a hard days work.

Many women (and men) are allergic to cologne, or any strong ‘chemical’ smell. It also conveys the impression that you are trying too hard. The best way to smell good is to have good hygeine (shower, wash your hair and brush your teeth at least daily).
