Cologne

This thread needs to exist, but I’m not gonna sperg out on it. I know 90% of the OG hates smelling good and hygiene in general. Ill just leave it here.

To open: my wife just bought me a bottle of Creed Green Irish Tweed, so now I can smell like a guy who may or may not have shoved a gerbil up his ass in the 80s. A rich one. The guy, I mean. Hell maybe the gerbil, too. The 80s were wild.

She got a promotion and I became a landlord and grew a year older recently. We dont have fuck you money, but we have “spend $300 on a bottle of cologne for a birthday” money, I guess.

I also have a very girthy hog.

Fuck Alta.

Watch reviews. Go online to a sample site. Trial run samples with your wife, girlfriend, or more likely your mom.

Go buy the top 2-3.

The goat was la nuit de lhomme. Intoxicating. The absolute best cologne ive ever smelled. I had a tiny bottle that i used spraringly to make it last. When it ran out, i bought a retardedly huge bottle…and something was different. It was like an NA version of your favorite beer. At first whiff it passed, but it was missing its balls and its longevity. I got on the internet and learned YSL reformulated it between when I bought the first and second bottles. I didnt even know that was a thing, but it is.

I still have the big bottle and break it out from time to time only to remind myself of the goat. It was a scent that id spray on at 6 am and at 1130 pm id be plowing the girlfriend and my body heat would reignite it, but it was never overpowering. The kind where youd catch a whiff here or there and wait for another. I got compliments every time i wore it. Awesome stuff.

I rock a pretty lengthy beard so with deodorant and beard oil I feel like wearing cologne is a little excessive, but usually if someone gifts me a bottle I’ll wear it out occasionally.

I take the caster glands straight from the beaver we shoot and shove them up my ass. Every time I fart, women come flocking.

I was in a rock band in the mid 2000s. Our drummer was a formerly fat guy who had never had a girlfriend. One night we were going out for his best friend’s Batchelor party (to a titty bar in louisville) and i saw him take a bottle of Old English, pull his pants down, and rub it around on his gronch.

Maaaan, i tried to get into beard oil. I fuck with my facial hair constantly. Every time i try it out, within minutes, i have oily fingers and have to wash them.

Yeah I usually throw it in once I’m out of the shower and definitely wash the oil off my hands, but I feel it helps it from being dry and ratty

Been wearing this for 20+ years and still get compliments on it. A timeless classic.

I said i wasnt gonna sperg, but i just woke up with screaming diarrhea, so it’s exile for me until the immodium kicks in.

Aside from la nuit circa 2009, the #1 complimented cologne over the course of my entire obsession is leau de issey homme by issey miyake. It’s a unique citrus that is nearly perfect for any occasion:

Top Notes
yuzu, cypress, coriander, mandarin, clary sage, fresh verbena
Heart
blue water lily, nutmeg, saffron, bourbon geranium, ceylonese cinnamon
Base
tobacco, amber, musk, indian sandalwood, haitian vetiver, cypriol

If I had to pick one cologne to wear every day for the rest of my life, this is it. Ive had dozens of people over the years not only compliment, but ask me what it was so they could buy it for their husbands. I had a fratbro working the cash register at a bar-adjacent convenience store owned by his dad stop me one time. He looked around for a minute and waited for everyone to leave, then disclaimed that he wasnt a homosexual, and asked what I was wearing. Then he blew me behind the counter.

My only complaint is it isnt quite strong enough, as is typical of citruses, and their “intense” version is oddly a different scent profile.

Im told (and believe) it’s extremely popular, but at least in my neck of the woods, ive never run into anyone else wearing it.

Tried far from everything but Amouroud makes good fragrances for fall/winter.I like their Santal des Indes and lunar vetiver. Rosando Mateu #1 I like for the summer, and same with Xerjoff Nio for citrusy. Disappointments the last few years have been everything I tried from Roja and everything from Clive Christian. Total moneygrabs.
