RE: A Good Cologne

Being someone near obsessed with passive seduction techniques, I recommend to you three of my favorite seductive scents (in order of preference):

Dirty English by Juicy Couture (deep cedar/woody smell, calm, relaxing, and has a smell that beckons people around you. "Let's go back to my place for some fun.")
Pure Instinct by David Beckham (a fresh type seductive scent. not sure how else to describe it, but it's a very cool and inviting smell. "You wanna come over for a few drinks?")
Play Intense by Givenchy (deep subtle scent with sweet undertones. it will certainly be appreciated. "Whether you come or go doesn't matter to me. Let's enjoy the moment.")

One new seductive scent I have my eye on is actually from the women's section. It's called Hypnotic Poison by Dior. Remember that when picking your scents, it's best to open your mind to ALL fragrances and not just those marketed for men. I'm willing to bet that if Hypnotic Poison was held up to a blindfolded person's nose, they would either unsure of the intended gender or consider it unisex. Opening your mind will be another way to avoid doing what every other guy does and can catch you some notoriety.

If you're looking for a real soft men's scent, try FCUK Him (lol, funny name) by French Connection UK. It's very unique and can be picked up real cheap on Amazon. A very unique scent. I become very relaxed in the presence of it, and I'd imagine it's the same for the people around me.

If you're looking for a light fruity/herbal scent, Fujiyama Homme by Succes de Paris. This scored some positive remarks from the asian crowd, but the scent does not last very long (a con, in my opinion, but asians tend to be real sensitive to scent anyway). This one is also fairly cheap on Amazon.

If you're looking for a fun, rich and fruity (yet masculine) scent, try Ed Hardy's Love And Luck by Christian Audiger. This is one of my favorites for daytime. It's very playful, and I get many compliments on it. However considering it's an Ed Hardy cologne, you run the risk of smelling like someone else. But, truth be told, I have never run into that problem. And if you want to get real technical, most guys don't usually wear cologne anyway, but it's a staple for me.

If you're looking for something bold and a bit on the wild side, maybe try Joop Homme by Joop. Be warned that only one spray (two MAX) will be more than enough. It is a very STRONG scent and overpowers my Scented Alpha-7 easily (can't say that about many others). Although marketed for Men, I initially thought this was a women's perfume. It has a very unisex smell to it.

My newest scent exploration will be with Escentric 01 by Escentric Molecules. Has a huge pricetag, but I managed to find a bottle that undercut retail price by $40. It's composed of 65% Iso E Super, and the rest is a blend of other scents. From what I hear, it's quite impressive. Can't wait til it arrives.

If you want to try Molecule 01 (same as Escentric 01, except composed of 100% Iso E Super) on the cheap, you can buy enough Iso E Super for around $20 (from what I hear) and then just mix it with ethanol (perfumer's alcohol or everclear). Toss it in an atomizer and you're set.

Hi

I don't always use pheromone colognes, but when I do... I prefer Dos Equis.

Just added Polo Explorer and Paco Rabanne One Million. Both smell classic to me.
Most of the recent stuff smells way to soft and fruity for my liking.

Although Love potions have some great scents that are just different.
Hard to explain, but a different type of scent that just feels good to wear.

Wow you folks rock! I know as little about scents as I did about pheromones when I started, I'll summarize recommendations periodically at the first post.

I'd love to have a voting/poll type thing that would allow someone to enter something random like the name of a cologne or perfume and then everyone can vote to see how highly rated each item in the entire list becomes

Fun Kit
Androtics Direct - IJ 1x, IO 2x, TUTH 1x, ISh 4x
Liquid Alchemy Labs - Estratetraenol
Alpha Dream - Glace w/Molecule "A", Alfa Maschio, Corporativo, Certo, Androstadienone
HAX Pheroceuticals - Wingman Element X, Wingman Element 9+O, Wingman Edge X22

Hi


Love & Luck is my everyday scent. I get lots of compliments both in the workplace and out in the field. Its very close to a creed scent at 1/3 the price. I have yet to notice the scent on someone else. I think people are scared off because it is an ED Hardy Product. I think they figure "wow not only do not want to dress like a douche, i certainly dont want to smell like one either."

Don't set boundaries, discover them.

Have to agree with Pheroman. And yes, many feels good to wear, even tough there are so much to choose from. If you are affraid using a cologne who turns out to be the same as her x boyfriend or her father, then Love Potion is the way to go. Love Potion's cologne will be your own unique and personal cologne. I had many comments from women being curious for what i am using.
My favours :
Aqua : Pendragon
Green : Creole Man
Spicy : Teachers Pest
Blended with pheromone : Voracious
Foody : UN for Men (To sweet for me, but i recognise so many women who just love it. Works like a magnet)

I definitely like Unforgivable & Euphoria for men, but I find myself coming in closer to my husband when he's wearing LPMP scents. It's the same when I wear perfume. He consciously like classic scents & commercial stuff, but if he's 2 tired & I'm in the mood, then I know that putting on my smutty smelling Love Potion: Passion & Desire (Love Potion: P&D) boosted with Leather & cops is going to be much more successful in getting me what I want.

It's funny to hear you say that, because many of my friends think similarly with Ed Hardy products. However I never got that vibe from them because I bought myself some Ed Hardy shirts before it became a "douche fad", lol. So to suddenly see it become something with a terrible association was surprising.

I agree with you completely though. This is why I'm hesitant to buy Unforgivable (lol?! most ridiculous name and box art imo), because THAT looks douchey. Maybe I'll buy it if I smell it and like it. After all, nobody can see or read scent. Names and art don't matter.

I don't always use pheromone colognes, but when I do... I prefer Dos Equis.
