Hello all,
I've been in here reading the last few nights, amazed at all the great info this community has in here. I'm afraid it's going to take me a while to get up to speed with some of the terminology and such, so please bear with me, as I will be asking some questions, I'm sure. And thanks in advance for your patience and guidance.
I'm looking for a few suggestions as to what I could look at purchasing for my next scent, I don't want to bore you with a huge rundown of scents, but I've owned a few over the years and like to keep a collection, so I thought I would draw upon that information and post it, so that if I'm lucky enough to garner a few replies there's something for the posters to go on. Here goes:
Obssesion: First cologne ever in HS. Could never wear it again, too overpowering.
Farenheit: Second. Same thing. Had a customer who showered in the stuff and ruined it for me.
Dune: Can't really remember it now, but liked it at the time. I think it smelled like Escape or Eternity. Not something I would want now.
Zipped: Cheap and strong. Gross.
Swiss Army: Gave it away to a friend as he always wore it (if someone wears a scent that I see often I no longer enjoy it)
Pi: Girlfriend bought it for me. Not a huge fan, wore it for her, tossed it out eventually.
Aqua di Gio: Had it stolen, didn't wear it much anymore as SO MANY DUDES WEAR THIS COLOGNE!
Okay those are all the ones I no longer own. I work in customer service where I a) serve hundreds of people a day and b) can't wear cologne myself, so I smell scents on other people constantly.
Paul SMith: Love this scent. STill wear it, have gone through two bottles. Longest standing cologne in my repetoire.
Allure Homme Sport: Wear this kinda whenever, going to the corner store kinda cologne but I do like it.
212: Like this one, not super distinguished but another ex really enjoyed it, so I wore it a fiar amount during that period.
Hugo Boss Soul: Bought it to have something kind of warmer (maybe to replace the pi?), wear it in the fall sometimes, don't really use it all that often.
Corduroy: Like a sample of it and ex GF bought it during a sale for me. Doesn't get a lot of play, it's just kinda basic I guess.
Eau D'Issey: Bought this a couple months back. REALLY love the citrusy notes at the beginning and the way it settles in after.
Bvlgari Aqua: Jsut bought this a few days ago. Was going to purchase Lacoste Essential, but upon smelling the Bvlgari, the Lacost smelled too similar to the Eau D'Issey, so I changed my mind (the girl who was helping me also said she sold a lot of it which turned me off).
I have my nose on the Cartier Unisex scent, as I like the peppery notes in it. I don't think I'll end up doing the Lacoste after all and I once was close to buying the Givenchy Blue but I don't know that it interests me any longer either.
What are some unique fragrances I should look into to expand my collection for summer?
Sorry this post got so long
