Favorite Cologne

[mrroandrro]

I'm always on the lookout for a great smelling cologne. I have tried many, from classics such as Polo and Obsession and Fahrenheit, all of which I liked. As I got older in my early 20's, I like stuff like Polo Sport, Tommy Hilfiger Athletic, and Hugo Boss. Lately, the last 10 years or so, I have switched and I really like Issey Miyake, and Jean Paul Gautier. My question is, what are your favorite colognes, ones that make the ladies heads turn in your direction. Success stories are also nice, ones in which your cologne of choice landed you a prime piece. Trying to find some new colognes, change my game up a bit.

Whichever one the wife wants me to wear.

Man my Burberry Summer is starting to smell different and look like hangover piss. Does cologne go bad?

I have like $500 worth of cologne i bought back in 2009 and I'd be kind of upset to toss it all.

Could be wrong, but I don't think so

I got a 3 pack of different Polo styles for Christmas like 15 years ago, and they all still hold up

Yes it does....once opened up a 10 y/o bottle of English Leather. It stunk up the house for 2 hours

It doesn't smell bad, just off. Like a stronger chemical-y scent than what I remember. The other's smell fine. The Bleu de Chanel cologne I have is like $140 a bottle. I especially don't want to toss it.

Betting that there are certain ones that will stay good for a while...especially ones like Polo.

The real question is whether you would wear it as a cologne in the present state.

I wore it last night out to dinner with my wife and she seemed to like it still, so I suppose it still has its function. I just thought it smelled different.

Yes, there is a website where you can check if your product is still within usefulness.

I have a bottle of Marc Jacobs which I kept that is definitely past expiration but it still smells nice but more like a spray than a cologne.

I normally use everything I buy new now within 8-12 months.

Main thing to remember is not to buy product already past date.

Pretty nice, mild smell there. I like Margiela’s Jazz Club a shade better for its spicyness and bourbon smell, but it has a little bit of the ‘by the fireplace’ vibe.

I have way too many choices for nighttime colognes. The only daytime, summer one I use is Laurent’s La Nuit De L’homme. High recommend that little elixir.

I'm not a cologne guy at all. My everyday look is geared more towards Clubman Pinaud but occasionally I'll have to attend a nice dinner or something

I feel like all Dior's work better for me during the winter, just something about their core scent

Honestly its so dry out here in the desert that I'm more of a fragrant moisturizer person now since I'm continually applying SPF. The smell of any cologne when its 100+ degrees out makes me start dry coughing, its not built for that

Give L’Objet’s soap and moisturizer a try. Bois Sauvage is my favorite.

I'll definitely look into it, thanks

My wife is a total med spa person and the background music for my entire life is her social media skincare videos blasting. So I pretty much just use whatever is in one of the dozen Amazon boxes that show up here weekly along with the "and I got you something!"

Maybe I can impress by picking something out myself
