I always notice some women just have the best perfume and it really does make them more attractive just from the smell alone. I’m wondering, what do you think is the best cologne for a man? Have you ever received a compliment?

    Really depends on who you ask. My wife has absolutely hated every cologne she has smelled so far.

    Go to Sephora and try a few. Pick one that smells fresh. Ask the salespeople for help, they’ll probably be dying to help. Only one sprits when you use it. People sitting next to you should smell you, not people across the room.

      People sitting next to you should smell you, not people across the room.

      “Smell should be discovered, not announced.” Some of the best advice I’ve learned.

    You’re going to be smelling it the most, so with every recommendation just go smell them and find one you like. I inherited a bottle of Eternity for Men and after trying it a couple times and getting compliments its been my smell ever since. My father really liked Obsession for Men, but it just never smelled right for me.

    Best cologne is no cologne. Headaches. Please don’t hug me if you have it on - I’ll get a migraine for two days. Edit: add to that, please don’t use scented Bounce fabric sheets. Smells across the room. Nauseous headaches.

    You gotta figure it out. Go find a company that appeals to you and order a sampler pack. Try the samples one day at a time until you find the one that is you. I like this approach better than going to some store counter because you can take your time. After smelling one or two colognes, it’s very hard to be able to appreciate others, so ordering the sampler packs gives you time to decide.

    Few of my colleagues like Alexandria Fragrances. I’ve had luck with Guy Fox. Both have sampler packs. It’s literally a rabbit hole of choices. One of my colleagues spends thousands of dollars on rare perfumes.

    Woman here, let me say, for me Polo by Ralph Lauren, it just tickles my brain in all the right ways. It’s a shame really that my husband doesn’t like strong smells on him because I’ve asked if I could buy him some cologne, and he always turns it down. Like I’m not even allowed to buy scented laundry detergent, it has to be the unscented kind.

      Laundry detergent is bad for the environment and, according to some studies, also for you. Scented versions even more so.

    Creed Aventus is really good, Creed products are good in general. But they are stupid expensive, sometimes you can find Aventus on sale at a price that won’t cost your first child though.

    It depends on how well it combines with your skin, natural scent I guess.

        It’s not my fault it’s gross. You ever smelled somebody’s cologne and thought ‘wow, real class’? I always think ‘wow, the trashy hubris’. You do you though.

            No, our paths will never cross. You can wear on whomever you want without ever getting to offend me. Everyone else could smell you coming if they wanted to avoid you anyhow you stinky fool.

    I have quite a few. My wife’s favorites are Versace Eros, Versace Dylan Blue, and Dior Sauvage. My personal favorites are Mont Blanc Explorer, Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue, and Viktor Rolf Spicebomb Fresh.

    Honorable mention to Azzaro The Most Wanted.
