I started wearing cologne when I rode motorcycles in heavy traffic with heavy fumes and my lady passengers always appreciated it. I don’t perspire much unless playing sports and I do smoke. I have always been complimented on how I smell (by women) or how I don’t smell like an ashtray. For those who think using scented soap seems clean, you really need to go out to an evening black tie…you will smell like you just came from the toilet after taking a nasty dump. A lot of times you wear stuff because you pick up smells during the normal course if the day.. Not because
you don’t shower. Sometimes i have accidently put on too much and like a girl in my office said “what did you do? Drown in cologne?”…yes…that Is to be avoided. Now the fact that she was a classy broad made her ask “what is that? It is pretty nice” makes me think that I that my morning rush splash on was excessive. But anyway…for work etc if you are odorless, great; if you stink, drink more water and eat more veggies; if you just want to smell nice..select something carefully and apply even more carefully…trust me, even the white trash will appreciate.

For evenings, please do wear something, because nobody wants to smell your food or your beer when they are talking to you. My rule is that wear enough for a 2 foot radius around you…no more. And please don’t listen to this idiot about tying pink bows to your underwear coz that is just childish. It is like saying French is a crappy language because so few people use it anymore. Use cologne and ask your friends and family to make sure you are using something good and not too much. Remember, eventually do what YOU think is right…as far as this website goes “where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise”

I have a big issue with the nasty flowery perfume women feel the need to drench themselves in.

I don’t mind some colognes on men. Mr. kenju used to wear Canoe when we were dating, because I gave it to him. That one I really like! I don’t know the smell of Axe, but it sounds as if that’s a good thing.

My husband and I used to own an internet gaming center and we got some sort of great deal on AXE to sell to the gamers. We had to have a display of the stuff, and their ridiculously sexist posters hung around my shop, to get a deal on some music or software or something. I was so happy when someone stole all the sample AXE out of the bathroom. I forbade the testing of said crap in my shop.

On the other hand, I’m a big fan of a nicely scented man…

I work in construction. The men in my office work hard, and generally smell like it. It doesn’t bother me, as anyone working in a framed in house sans electric during 117F weather DESERVES to smell a little bit.
