What colognes do you wear to study or read?

I am trying to figure out what type of frags I should wear for studying/reading. I am thinking more along the side of mature ones like bois,royal english, but things like virgin island water ,canali,etc make you feel energized and not bored during those sessions. What do you all think? What are or what type of frags would you use for this occasion?

Timely question. My finals are next week. I usually wear something peaceful and contemplative. Kyoto or Zagorsk from CdG's incense series or Mechant Loup from L'Artisan are very calming fragrances for me. They invite quiet and I feel very grounded and focused when I wear them.

I wear no scent when I study.

While I like the idea of certain scents energizing you, helping keep you interested etc, I find wearing anything just distracts me while working.

I sometimes wear things with mint while studying, since it is supposed to help you concentrate (I think)

I own a bottle of Live Jazz, which gets used for this. I have a Guerlain Mentafollia sample for this purpose as well. I love the leafy spearmint opening, but the dry-down gets a little too perfumey for me.

I don't wear anything for the occasion of simply reading or reviewing work papers.

Whatever I happen to be wearing when I pick up a book/turn on my Kindle to read it.

Nothing too intriguing or else your mind will wonder. Something very light so it doesn't require your attention. I'd go with something like The One by D&G. Energetic but not too much.
