New and looking for more *(long Post)*

Hi, I basically started about 3 months go really wearing cologne, I usally just used aftershave, I never was real big on smelling cologne all my life, then a guy at work told me that he got some cologne for his birthday, and he didn't like it and wanted to know if I wanted it, he had asked 4 other people before me, and they all said no. So, I smelled it and said, "Yes I will" , I liked it, it was Angel Men, I thought wow, this is nice, so I started wearing it and really got alot of attention from women mainly, who most all just love it, so I decided to look around and see what else I could find, I started looking on the net and found this site, and read alot of reviews and decided I wanted to try Lemale, I ordered it, and got it and tried it, and it blew me away, like the Angel men did, almost the same reaction from womem as the Angel men had also, so I went to a mall thats not to far away and started looking and found a bottle of New York by Kenneth Cole on clearance and tried that, and I really love it also, but I was told it was discontinued, I also tried another one called cigar that smelled nice, I am not a smoker, but it sort of had a nice soft leathery sweet cigar smell, it was the only two I liked out of all the differnet stuff that the stores had around me which was either real cheap or had a medicine smell to them or both.

I live in the midwest (Missouri) and there don't seem to be alot of good places I have found yet to get cologne, but I am still looking. and I havent came around anyone that seems to wear these colognes, so its nice to be a little different then tyhe typical smells that seem the same around here.

So, I did some looking on the forums here for recomendations, and I went back to the site where I bought the Lemale before and ordered the following 2 new items and Anel men and Lemale, I hope I like them as much as the others i have now, after reading reviews here and from what I read they are what I am looking for, I guess its gourmond? I am still learning all the terms


Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin
Pi de Givenchy

What else is along this? like that is not over priced, I an handle paying $60-70 but not much more.

I really like the candy smells of Amen and the mint in Lamale, I also like vanilla so thats why i got the other 2 as I read in the reviews that they have them in it.

I got a few samples from the place I ordered from before, like Black jeans and Grean Jeans, they all smell too much like alcohol to me I really don't like a big green smell but I like a fresh smell also like New York.

Any insite on learning about colone is appreciated, I never was a big fragerance person but now all of the sudden, I have gone crazy!! Will this ever end, I now stop and try all of them I see whereever I am, I am starting to get the feeling the people are staring at me like I am gay or somthing, lol trying all of these colognes.

Sorry for the long post, thanks

I bought gucci envy deoderant and its ok as that, but its a little to "green" for me, so if the cologne is anything like that or stronger then I don't think its for me.

I have read alot of the reviews here on joop homme, is it really as strong as stated! it sounds like it might not be to bad though, I am thinking of getting a bunch of samples of the stuff suggested here and trying them all. I would rather pay $1-2 to try a sample of them all rather then paying $60 for one and be disapointed.

Much appreciated
