Perfume/aftershave

[Skyryder]

One of the differences between men and woman is that men 'use' and woman 'wear.' What's your favourite day/evening..........and why.

[The Pastor]

i prefer a nice steak sandwich.

Bread
steak
bread?

HELL NO THATS NOT A STEAK SANDWICH


Steak
Steak
Steak

The only way to go.

I prefer the use of my natural pheromones to entice the opposite sex. After all its worked for 1000's of years so why waste a natural source that is biologically proven. Using man made perfume is only covering up the real you so you are enticing people with a falsehood. You could in fact be trying to hide the fact that your natural body odour signals that your possibly a mass murderer and therefore one to be avoided. Also rumour has it that artificial perfumes will quite possibly be banned under new 2007 Greenhouse Emission Regulations, Article 1437, Para 89, due to the effect they have on destroying the ozone layer. You read it here first:whistle:

[Hitcher]

Having had one's underarm sweat glands surgically removed, one has not used deodorant or other smelly encumbrances for over 25 years so is not qualified to respond to this question. One is also allergic to most colognes and unctions, and hates nothing more than having to share a confined space with some poseur (of either gender) who has recently bathed is some egregious aromatic essence.

[Highlander]

... so you are enticing people with a falsehood. :whistle:

Bit like having a salami strapped to your thigh? :dodge:

[RC1]

i prefer natural odour like "o de session" (spoken french) after a bit fat :doobey:

And don't the men howl when they see a woman who has not shaven under her arms. So much for the 'au naturel' look.

I could say so much right now .. but instead .. i'm going to say that perfume/cologne is all good ... the only down side is when you step in a lift and some has bathed in it and you cant breathe.

Personally ... I have at least 7 different cologne's, each one fits a mood ..the last thing i want to sniff is someone's unwashed armpit reek .. I'd rather remove my nose with a blunt spoon.

[Angusdog]

I used to wear cologne, including one nicknamed by a friend as "Sure F*ck" although it only once delivered the goods for me ;)

Now I don't wear anything, and those men that do seem a bit 'try hard', or keen to cover smoking smells or worse... but I'm married so don't really need to guild the lily, and my wife likes the way I smell.

[Mental Trousers]

If a woman smells clean (ie like soap or like she's just bathed recently) then I'm there.

[smoky]

I use Linx at the moment - I had a lovely young lady ask me what deo I was wearing the other day - only to let me down by saying she should buy some for her dad. Does that mean I smell like a dad?

I remember once I found myself sleeping over somewhere unexpectedly, wanted to leave fairly promptly in the morning - no shower, no deodorant or anything on me.:bye: So I used the air freshener from the toilet room.

I had two or three compliments from women that day! go figure?:scratch:

Ohhh your getting me exited - there are those who like that natural (hairy) look. :woohoo:
Personally I don't think women should try to look pubescent, they should flower and look like an adult.

[The Tazman]

When you work in Hospo you get one extreme to the other. I like the subtle ones but when you can smell them before they've arrived that's just a little over the top.

The worst for me is that people seem to be going a little too o'naturel and not even using antiperspirant and that's not good. You might think your natural smells are good but to most others they are not when it's like that.

I don't understand how these people can't smell themselves, I get concerned as soon as i start sweating as I don't want to stink.

So I'm all for it in the right amounts.

well what was the cologne nicknamed sure fuck?

[Chickadee]

I like nice smells, not BO. Stuff always smells different on different people. Same stuff on one person smells totally different on another.

I like wearing Hypnotic Poisen, or Provocative Woman most of the time.

Fella's wearing good aftershave is definitely more appealing for us ladies in general.

I believe when they tested smells on men (what they'd like in perfumes) it was more the food smells they liked. In America the smell of Pumpkin Pie came up tops!

So blokes - would you rather ladies smelt like food or flowers?

[smoky]

I still like the ‘Ol Spice’ and ‘Brute’
But apparently that’s kinda like going to a rave and dancing like John Travolta in Saturday Nightfever, or getting ya hair permed.

I was reliably told they make women’s perfume smell attractive to women - so women will buy it.
So should men wear woman’s perfume to attract women? I tried it when I was single – but I’m not sure it worked, I got asked out by a gay man

[Lissa]

The worse would be guys with smelly feet (apprently baking soda works) .. of course women dont have that problem :whistle:

I wear fcuk perfume....nice, not to over powering. .. although as a smoker I think I have lost my sense of smell anyway. :wacko:

[Trudes]

When I like the smell of something, then that's what the hubby may get for Xmas, last smelly he got was Allure, which I adore!!
As for me, I love Vanilla, so go for vanilla oils etc, and often people comment that I smell like I've been baking or that I've been dipped in ice cream. Otherwise as far as perfume goes, I'm a DKNY gal.

That is so true.

Allure is real nice, had someone buy me a bottle as a gift for working so hard.
Also Have a bottle of Gardenia. Its one of the yummiest perfumes I've ever smelt.

Funnily though despite my taste in Chanel, my cheap chips options always gets the comments as to how lovely it smells. ;)

[avgas]

hmmmm
i use just plain old lynx
but i use CK escape
really depends on the mood of course, as any good courtesan knows, environment is everything.
Im a sucker for scent. Sometimes i will go completely on a tangent if a lovely lady walks past and i catch a scent. A good scent will leave me speachless for many days. It will empty my wallet, and i am as easy to manipulate as dough.
It also is my name sake, if i smell avgas, its an instant smile on my dial. I instantly think race bikes, burnouts, wheelstands and old school stories of "when i had this Goldstar with a loud megaphone...." etc

[Sleepr]

I normally use BRUT or Lynx.

But for special night occasions, it would have to be armani black code. I love it, chicks dig them too. I use tommy hilfiger for day occasions, thats manily if I am going to meet some new business people or meetings etc.

[Animal]

Tabac. Nothing else seems to work as well with my weird chemistry.

I very briefly went out with a chick who suffered from the worst flatulence in the history of the human race. She claimed that she couldn't help herself but I suspect that being a hippy vegetarian living on birdseed, nuts and other weird organic shit caused her to continuously fart like an approaching thunderstorm. Her guts was not of this world, and she smelt farkin' toxic, enough to make an onion cry! I actually though it would be a blessing if smelly feet was her biggest problem! :sick:

[idb]

Like all South Island men I smell like sheep shit, Speight's, old Swanndri, Land Rover, oil skin, horses and rollies....

[scumdog]

Like idb I too have a mixture which includes the odour of AR2201 gunpowder, EP90 diff oil, 'dried blood on back of Swanndri' and Youngs 303 cleaner in addition to those smells listed by idb.
(I found Youngs 303 cleaner to give me the edge with the sheilas.)

[FlangMasterJ]

Graphite Antipersperant - $2.98

[idb]

(I found Youngs 303 cleaner to give me the edge with the sheilas.)

So that's your edge...the bloody gun shop assured me that Remington's was the way to go!!!
That's the last time I take any notice of them...if you can't trust your gun shop who can you trust!!!

[Skyryder]

No ones mentioned racing alcohol. Always did make me go weak at the knees.

Day time............ Charlie. Night............. Poison........ Opium

[skelstar]

...guys with smelly feet .. of course women dont have that problem :whistle:
Umm...are you sure babe?

I wear some stuff that is in a blue bottle (name escapes) that I have been assured that smells real nice. FCUK on a chick does smell damn nice, as does Eternity (I think).

[Joni]

I love perfume, infact used to collect it :blink:

My favourites?

Ladies:
Ultra Violet - Paco Robanne
Light Blue - Dolce & Gabbana
First - Van Cleef & Arpels
1881 - Cerruti

Mens:
212 - Carolina Herrera

Ah well, but I have realised not many Kiwi's share my passion for good smells!

[Ocean1]

Never have purchased scent for my own use, figure that if I like it it's not going to appeal to anyone I'd like nibbling my ear...

Funnily enough several women have procured the same one for me: Drakkar Noir. Seems effective.

[Goblin]

OpiumMmmmmm! The only lure I really like but Im too cheap to buy it so I use the testers at the pharmacy. ;)

[Joni]

Yeah my Mum wears Opium... so that smalls takes me straight home! :love:

Nice choice Goblin...

[Dilligaf]

Oh Joni I am with you. I am not into buying shoes, or bags, I am definitely a perfume person. (Aftershave too actually, sometimes I even let hubby wear it).
My latest like is Femme by Boss - its initial smell and I hated it, but tested it, went shopping for half an hour and loved it on me. I'm not usually into florals so it was a real change.
Otherwise I have Obsession Night by CK
Joop for men
And I also love a lot of the Trussardi range.

Give me a sweet smelling person any day. Our soap is Clove and cinnamon and at $5 a bar, it's expensive, but ooooh so worth it.. :msn-wink:

[yungatart]

I can't be bothered with perfume...never seem to have the time to spray the stuff on, or higher priorities??
To all those blokes who wear theat Lynx shit..make sure you stay away from me. It is the ONLY deodarant guaranteed to give me Asthma.

[Coldrider]

Why are mens perfumes called after shave lotions etc when the shaving gel has a scent of its own, and after shave perfume is last thing you want to apply to your face after a shave, unless you like skin to feel on fire.
Anti deordourant is enough, smelling soapy is not for me.

[Toaster]

I love the smell of perfume on someone you like, then everytime someone else walks past wearing it, it reminds you of the one you like.

[007XX]

Mmmmm...

Anyone seen Al Pacino in "scent of a woman" ? Very sensual...

A perfume or "eau de cologne" is not meant to cover up any disturbing body odours, but enhance one's ability to tickle the senses of the person they want to charm...

It is meant to be discreet enough that the object of your affections would have to come close enough to be able to smell it.
And it is to be strategically dotted along the main erogenous spots: just under the ear, at the base of the throat, and on the inside of the wrists...that last one for the benefit of those gentlemanly enough to still practice the kiss on the hand...(swoon!)

anyway, my favour goes to Samsara for evening and Gucci Rush for daytime...

Fuck that shit. Goes both ways. I have at least three brands of women's perfume that I can't whiff any longer without wanting to put my fist through the nearest gib wall.

In fact, I once Janola'd the passenger seatbelt in my car to get rid of what had rubbed off on it.

The things we do, eh?

:lol:

I presume it was perfume you are talking about with the seatbelt incident??!! Maybe I need to go give my mind a bath.

Hmm, had seats and seat belt bits in cars i've had smelling of Janola too - along with a sort of fishy whiff.....

[BuFfY]

Mmm I love the smell of man. Aftershave is just lovely (most the time)
And I like smelling nice myself. D & G Light blue or Lacoste A Touch Of Pink are my smells :)

[tri boy]

Kanny buys "Rapport" for me.
A dab on my neck, and I'm guaranteed serious Jiggy.:woohoo:
Let the ladies choose the gunk.:done:

Uummm...my first thought was :"Dang, you have issues!"

But then, I remembered that my love once bought the same deodorant as my ex by mistake...:Oops::sick:

I saw red, and threw the blasted canister in the rubbish with the kind of look on my face that scares even me! :laugh:

Needless to say my darling hubby stays well clear of that brand now...:o

[jrandom]

Uummm...my first thought was :"Dang, you have issues!"

Noooo, no no. Read between the lines. It was on the passenger seatbelt. I'm never a passenger in my own car.

My post was a little misleading. I did that bleaching on request from a latter, er, passenger...
