What Are Some Nice Colognes?

Sir C.A.T · Post by **Sir C.A.T** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 3:19 am

Well, I was wondering, what are some good colognes that are $20 or under (or if a little more, it is acceptable). I was wondering about a nice smelling cologne since Axe and Tag suck. I have hear good things about Drakar Noir, but I think it smells way to strong. I don't know. I like the smell of Donald Trump, but don't like the fact that I'd smell like Donald Trump. Well, what are some colognes that you recomend/use?

drakar sucks.

Spend a little more and get a lot more attention

1. dolce & gabbana
2. nautica (original, not sport)
3. polo blue
4. Carolina herrera for men.

Go to the mall, smell those scents and pick one. All good. I wear mostly dolce, but I toss in nautica and CR every so often. A lot of chicks like the polo blue, but its not my favorite. I wear it for my GF, she loves it.

Can I ask what scents from Axe you've tried? I've had extremely good luck with the Essence fragrance. About every girl I've ever dated thinks it smells delicious. Unless your complaint is staying power, I will admit the trick is using their stick deoderant also. If not the bodywash. It all works well enough for me.

Well, I don't know. Personally, I haven't tried Axe for a while and right now I have two cans of tag. Personally, I think they smell alright, and ladies like them, but I think it all starts to just smell like alcohol in the end. Maybe I'm just crazy : /.

Yeah, sometimes if a can doesn't get shaken enough, near the end it'll smell like alcohol when ya put it on. That smell goes away pretty fast though, leaving you smelling like it normally would.

Other than the last one, those are a few of my favourites.

C.A.T If you are looking for cheaper colognes that smell nice, Swiss Army Altitude is really cheap these days, and it has a light smell to it.

You really can't go wrong with Tommy either.

If you really want the cream of the crop though, Dolce and Gobanna is the best you can get. It was even rated the sexiest smell just in the past few years.

Fahrenheit (Christian Dior)

It all depends on your tastes, age and lifestyle.

Drakkar Noir seems way too flashy for everyday use. You don't wanna smell like a lawyer...

A cheap, but good choice is Carlo Corinto. It's the original "blue" fragrance. You know those colognes that smell really fresh and clean. All the others copied it. It may be hard to find.

The spicy "high-fashion" colognes can also work, but they can be pricey. I'm talking about Versace Dreamer, Joop!, Dolce & Gabanna, Fahrenheit, etc. Fahrenheit is really classy, and it's good for conversation starters: "What is that cologne you're wearing? I've never heard of it..." It WILL get you noticed.

Then there's the "clean-cut, All-American" fragrances. Polo, Carolina Herrera, Tommy, Old Spice. Can't go wrong with them. These are the best choices for young people. besides, they're cheaper than the Euro colognes.

Just try a few, and always ask a woman's opinion. If a woman likes it, then it's good. You're not really wearing cologne for other men, are you?
