Do any of you use cologne or perfume?

[Husseinisdoingfine]

If so, what exactly do you wear?

Below is what I use.

 

The Russich Leder Cuir de Russie by Farina, I wear in the summer and daytime. Whereas the Azzaro Wanted by Night, I wear during winter and at night. 

Btw, the two colognes above were gifts. I would never shill money for fragrances because I'm yet to decide if cologne/perfume is a scam.

YSL L'Homme, casual

Armani aqua di gio, more formal or party environments

 

I love colognes, I change to different ones when I run out. Most high end colognes are good. Parfums de Marly, Versace, Jean Paul Gautier.

I’ve got a godlessly large Tom Ford perfume collection.

My favorite is some random Parisian musk perfume I picked up though. Pure perfume, none of that eau de toilette or eau de parfum shit. Smells like pure sex.

Lol.

To me most perfumes shampoos and soaps, even for men, make one look gay/bourgeois, even though I'm quite a stickler for hygiene.
That's why I don't like cannabis at all; I prefer the smoky, woody, chocolatey smell and taste of tobacco.

I have rustic tastes in general comrade.

Tom Ford has some seriously "rustic" scents. Go to a perfumery and sample "Tobacco Oud." 

If that’s not manly enough for you, I don't know what is. In fact, I bet you it will be way too strong for you. This is something I only wear when I feel on top of the world - otherwise, that shit wears me.

And let them sit on your skin for about an hour. It'd be hard for me to believe someone couldn't find something they love.

 

It's not Polo or Abercrombie type stuff. The funny part is, Tom ford does all the things you described, tobacco, wood, chocolate, leather,...

Why do you wear perfume? What's the point?
I don't understand, actually. Do you think it really attracts women in a decisive way?

My partner is perfume—a lingering trail guiding me always back to love's source.

Why do you wear nice clothing (assuming you do)?

I just like it. I like beautiful things. And let’s be real - a woman won’t care what perfume you’re wearing as long as you smell fresh and clean. Honestly, from experience, some of my bolder perfume choices have actually been perceived as irritating - or even outright repelling. But I don’t care. I wear them because I like them. And I like the kind of women who appreciate unapologetic self-expression.

Granted, that kind of woman is rare - and even rarer to find in combination with everything else you might be drawn to in a woman. So maybe wearing these perfumes is less about attracting anyone, and more like saying a prayer: a gesture of alignment with the possibility of a miracle. And being ready to seize on it when it comes.

If I didn't have social pressure, I would probably look like a homeless person (big unkempt beard, baggy streetwear, combat boots, beer and cigarettes lol...)

In the meantime, I have a very classic style, I think; I just keep it clean and presentable.

I don't care about "me", "me" has no interest; What interests me is the other (a woman, the homeland, a car, a frame...)

I want a very sensitive girl who likes flowers and teddy bears, so I can be her daddy.

I know one of the best-placed French-speaking members of the Global Information Network; he can basically manifest a woman whenever he wants.
I recently saw an unlikely video of him with an 8/10 Slavic woman, while he's a 5/10 with a worse French accent than mine and a hair on his tongue; when he asked her why she agreed, even though she basically never agrees to sleep with anyone, she replied with very simple and strange things like, "I don't know, I knew it would be good with you."

Super trange.

Then you probably don’t care much about perfume either.

Just grab a solid cologne like Dior Sauvage you can wear in any kind of context. You will smell clean, put-together, and girls will appreciate it.

Tiziana Terenzi Kirkè is my go to cologne.

I use Googles cologne Chrome.

@Schizophonia It does attract women in a decisive way. 100 percent. If you have or dont have will be another check mark. If you smell good you automatically win. Animals are attracted by scent.

There's this funny trend on Reddit. Go to r/cologne, and type in the search bar, What your favorite cologne says about you .

It's like horoscopes for men, but practical and funny.

There's like 8 parts, but here's part 1 and 2.

What are your 3 go-to Tom Ford perfumes, if you can even 'rank' them?

I recently tried Soleil Blanc while travelling and it definitely charmed me. It feels so nourishing and refreshing, like sweet glowing nectar. I've just seen it's one of the cheapest as well, can't imagine how the top ones feel.
