1. I hate the stuff
Nor do I like perfume. I like a man who smells clean and natural. Colognes and perfumes just give me a headache and make my lungs hurt. I like the smell of clean skin.

Like the old English Leather commercial - "My men wear English Leather. Or they wear nothing at all."

I'm a "nothing at all" girl. :evilgrin:

6. I agree!
Some cleanly scented anti-persperant..that's all they need. I do like wearing perfume on myself though.

But, it seems as though the men who wear cologne think they need to bathe in it or something and thereby need to have their cologne priveledges revoked. ;)

My mother thinks that men's cologne makes good air freshener for the car...a little embarrassing when we're at a department store counter and she says in front of the sales woman, "this would be great for the car". :+

3. Bowling Green
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 07:15 PM by chookie
Oh. God.

Very special fragrance. Subtle.

You'll find it in a department store fragrance department.

Drives me wild.

4. Gain detergent....or, Burberry Touch. Or, Burberry Brit. Yum.
So few men I know wear any scents, that when I smell something I'm a bit intrigued.

Burberry Touch smells delicious. As does their Brit for men....

5. ick.
cologne is gross.

i do kind of like old spice, but not enough to want A. to wear it.

i much prefer the light smell of soap or the nice hippy eco-friendly detergent he uses.

8. Pheromones...

That "he showered yesterday and he's wearing flannel today" smell is heavenly. ::sigh::

9. Curve
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 07:24 PM by nini
BUT no cologne is fine too - doesn't really matter to me unless the cologne is really nasty... I just happen to like the smell of Curve - a frennd's husband wears that and it's a long running joke of me sniffing his neck to see if he has it on. :-)

12. Patchouli oil
Smells very nice, and the cats go nuts. It's fun to watch them try to lick the patchouli off of his wrists and neck.

14. Still like
Polo, because it has a pauchouli scent to it.

And I trust men that wear Old Spice or Lavender splash water, (reminds me of my Dad)

15. I am a sucker for scent
Makes me want to nuzzle in close.

I love Polo and Drakar Noir. It depends on the guy though - they need to find one that works on them.

18. Not a cologne, but I have always loved the smell of Brut deodorant.
I guess it reminds me of school dances from days of yore. I would just want to bury my nose in the armpits of any guy wearing Brut deodorant.

Maybe there is some chemical reaction with the Brut and the sweat that gets my olfactory senses going.

20. None, I agree with the talk show guest many years ago who said
that her favorite fragrance was "clean man," the way men smell after they've just gotten out of the shower and put on clean clothes. :loveya:
