I see a bunch of threads on here about cars and watches that people would own once they've made it. But haven't seen anything on how to end up being a great-smelling man when money is no object. And good cologne isn't cheap.
Personally, I've been going with Creed Aventus or Creed Green Irish Tweed. It's complex, long-lasting, and gets plenty of compliments from women. GIT is my choice during the day, and Aventus at night.
Girls just seem to lose control for a bit when they smell me. this shit is so dominant, literally everyone notices me.

Aventus stopped being good a year or so ago when everyone started copying it. Men love it, but it's something women are just....meh on
Angel Nelson
user I had that one.
Smell is amazing but its weak as fuck. Unless you don't spray 3 times nobody's gonna feel anything. And it doesn't last at all... at the end of the day the smell is gone.
Hunter Powell
I've used this too. It's my favorite orange-y scent, but I don't know if I'll buy it again.
>so dominant, literally everyone notices me I think you're doing it wrong.
Camden Jones
its far from weak. i spray 2 times front, 2 times back and 1 time behind both my ears.
the scent literally sticks to me in a 2meter radius, and thats not me making shit up but actually girls walking up to me telling me i smell amazing
William Foster
Dior homme, pretty classical I guess.
Ian Long
this is the one atm
literally had some roastie message me sayin she was wet from the smell
Mason Martinez
If you're in /s mode ok. But if you're actually serious no fucking wonder its far from weak if you spray 5 times. Do you also spray behind your balls ?
Andrew Gomez
lol whats the point of spraying less than 5 times. its the way to go if you want to be noticed.
Lincoln Martin
Currently have anything from Paco's XS, XS black, Mugler's leather-scented one, Mugler's mint-scented one to Cartier's L'envol. Reflecting salary raises before crypto. I wish I had just bought one Aventus and got done with it, desu. The ones I have at home have a higher combined price and they'll expire before I can use them...
Oliver Robinson
Mister Marvelous. Try something away from the mainstream.
Benjamin Evans
I just don't use any. My girl has a fetish for my body odor. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aiden Lee
That doesn't sound good. If you're being noticed because of your cologne, you're doing it wrong.
Chase Williams
Polo double black is an instant panty dropper
Jonathan Sanchez
Yeah but there is a stronger version that they made of sauvage. I think id much rather get that new one than getting the normal one again. The new version has a bottle with a yellowish color. A friend of mine has it and it's 10x times stronger than the normal one. Smell is exactly the same though. I recommend checking that one out if you liked sauvage.
Jose Allen
You want it to be subtle, not in your face. I spray three times (neck, body, wrist) and that's the right amount for most. If it's strong, I'll only do two. Five is total overkill.
Isaiah Rogers
Lol I wouldn’t know. I only wear pre-2013 Aventus.
Jk, 2 of these bottles are 14A01, which I love. I haven’t even smelled anything after 2014. Prices have been rising a lot recently I noticed. I predicted that and stocked up for life a couple years back.
Robert Thompson
hanne mori hm, has been my favorite for nearly 15 years.
Gabriel Carter
My Creed doesn't last that long at all. Still wonderful cologne though.
Carson Bailey
For a long time Walgreens was the best online source to buy. They routinely had deals, and it was never any questionable quality like buying off Amazon.
>Hanae Mori HM Yeah, I've used this too. But it's very sweet and can get lost.
Henry Cooper
If you don't know what this is or you don't wear it, please re-think your life.
Jason Reed
thx just ordered some creed aventus in test size
Asher Morris
Too gourmand.

Any of you fags actually think cologne makes a difference talking to girls?

You ever walk past some random girl and she's wearing the perfume of an ex and it instantly takes you back in your head to some wild night where you're ripping each others clothes off?
Does it work the same way with women if so I want a cologne that can do that
Robert Brooks
cologne smells like shit and only serves to broadcast your insecurity
Ayden Gomez
Perfume and Colognes are disgusting assaults on the olfactory senses and anybody wearing them is a fraud.
Clean yourself well, apply a mild odorant and anti perspirant, and go about your business. Anything else is vulgar and invasive. How dare you force other people to smell your prescence? So fucking crude.
>Here I am! Smell me!
Its even worse when you are forced to work in close quarters with this type of asshole.
Luis Jenkins

Yeah, got to wonder if Veeky Forums is just pajeets, niggers and faggots at this point. What kind of man uses perfume? Also, it's really cringy watching mutts worship anything with a french word on it. For us frogs it's just the shit metrosexual parisians use, a sign of effeminate weakness
Andrew Sanders
Cologne is fucking disgusting. Not emaning it in the baseline way, it's just disgusting how people use it...
You spray 2 times on the inside of one of your wrists, rub them together one time, then rub behind your ears down to your collarbones at the center. This actually has a historical implication of why both men and women did it like this.
Firstly: dispersed on the skin makes it less obnoxious and hard on the nose, also it mixes well with the baseline scent of a person. Second: in olden times, perfumes were used like this because a lady would usually get into physical contract from a male from either a kiss on the hand or on the cheeks.
So next time you spray away wildly and smell like a sweaty alcoholic, who lost all sense of smell, just remember this post.

>320 a bottle >wears off within 2 hours May as well wear poverty aftershave
Christopher Martinez
After shave is a must tho,remember to groom yourself you dirty nigger. Also refer to my post above.
Adam Hall
this has got to be bait
Ian Garcia
You are nigger-tier intelligent. The reason you put cologne/perfume on the wrists and neckline is because the skin is thinner there and the warmth from the bloodflow makes the scent last longer. Kys.
Cameron Walker
I only use this rare, discontinued Star Trek cologne.

Not a huge fan of Versace. My only regret purchase as an adult was The Dreamer, and ever since then, I've avoided them.
Leo Hughes
I also have this. It's a tad too fruity.
Nicholas Price
Give this a try anons if you want a good cologne. Woody/leathery scent which works really good at night. Strong scent which stays on you for a good 4 - 5 hours, the best part is how long the smell stays with you.
People turn their heads wondering who's wearing it.. honestly give this one a try people
Carter Long
Do yourself a favour.

>japanese >baller
what weird people do you hang with?
Joshua Sanchez
All of you are wasting money on bullshit.
All you need are either of these two deodorants, and you're fine. I had plenty of roasties tell me I smell nice. Granted they had to come close to me to smell me, but that's the point.
pic related as fuck.
Mason Williams
Ralph Lauren Double Black and their Blue are my favorite
Jayden Cruz
All time favorites for the evening Santal and Royal oud
This cologne sucks. You smell like LITERALLY every other Brad in existence.
I’m not saying it smells terrible, it smells fine. It’s just generic as FUCK. The girls that are attracted to the smell are going to be basic as fuck. It’s just the most generic cologne out there right now. If you don’t mind being a cookie cutter version of a human being, then this cologne’s for you.
Jaxson Hill
Clean by Issey is amazing. Favorite for 6 years.
Carson Stewart
I use Eau de Cologne. My first scent and just sticked with it. Anybody else knows this one?
Adrian Foster
>Millesime Imperial Is this worth the price? Does anyone notice it or does it just get lost like the Issey Miyake or Hanae Mori?

OP this is is high st trash. You absolute degenerate, you should be hung for making a thread and putting this in here.
Fresher high st trash again. Savage is so bad wearing it drove Jonny Depp to beat his wife.
Good grief
Just rub nigger piss on yourself
At the moment I am wearing the ex nihilo range, right now Parisian panache and molecule later when I go out.

>Ex Nihilo I've heard good things about their Vetiver, but never tried it in person. And I'm unwilling to do a blind buy.
Brandon Carter
Non-mainstream top tier coming through. When someone asks what you're wearing, you can just say "Rhinoceros"
I have a drawer full of different fragrances, I love collecting them, but this is always my go-to signature scent.
Just read their description of the fragrance:
Under the searing gaze of an unrelenting sun, the ornery Rhinoceros surveys his dusty territory. A tough, battered hide is his armor against the erosive onslaught of sand, whipped into a frenzy by a hot, merciless wind, as he stands strong, defending his domain.
On first spray, Zoologist Rhinoceroscharges forward with a heady note of sweet rum. Like a wild drunken beast, it cavorts until it comes to settle into a slow, rhythmic yet relentless beat - the rugged, raw aroma of leather. Frolicking around the edges is a rich blend of smooth tobacco, smoky vetiver, dried herbs, strong pine and bitter agar. Rhinoceros is a complex, intimidating and masculine scent that makes a bold, unapologetic statement. Go forth and explore your world. Don’t ask permission.
You crush the top notes and alter the scent profile when you "rub" it into your skin you fucking dumb ass. Read a book sometime.

Nice find user, just checked it out on Basenotes and I'm intrigued. What else is on your list of non-mainstream top-tier?
Leo Campbell
Fucking autism.
You are illustrating lack of self awareness, and most autists can’t understand subtlety either.
Everyone thinks you Fucking stink.
The people you want to think you smellngood should have to be close to you to notice. That makes you mysterious, subtle, and it’s almost like a little secret that the two of you share (women love that).
Women also love when you are THEIR good smelling guy. If everyone in the office can smell you, you’re a joke. I promise.
>TLDR: You stink, pic related is you
Isaiah Miller
This guy is a good pocket pick for cold night romantic dates. It's Barrister and Mann's Fougère Gothique. Not an expensive pick either, about $90 a bottle. This guy makes very complex fragrances that evolve vividly throughout their wear. He mostly makes shaving soaps but got a good reputation from there and went to making top tier fragrances as well.
This guy is strong and lasts long though, and some may be turned off by it's damp forest and mushroom notes, but my girlfriend and I find it to be really well balanced with all the other notes in it so it comes off as unique and inoffensive.
>An elegant, alluring composition in the classic fougère style, Asmodeus himself could not have chosen a more fitting fragrance. Notes of lavender, oakmoss, tonka, balsam fir, bergamot, vetiver, geranium, cedar, earth, sandalwood, musk, leather, and tuberose are darkened by the touch of Hell, kissed with the essence of ashes and the smoldering flame.
I literally collect fragrances and indie/non-mainstream brands seem to always be my favorite; probably because they take more risks to stand out from the crowd. Fragrance is as personal as clothing, so finding a style you're really into can be enlightening. It's also a plus if you're able to coordinate your scent with what you're wearing. Am I wearing some reds and browns? Rose themed cologne. Am I wearing a jean or leather jacket? Get something with lots of leather or sandalwood. Am I wearing bright colors like purple or pink? Go for something gourmand fruity, etc.
