Maybe bubble bath might be more appropriate

Wouldn't the chlorine in the water pretty much murder any scent you wear? I would think it would either clash or neutralize.

Of the scents you have I would say Gucci PH II but i'm not familiar with many of the others you have.

considering i am probably going to be in the water from my chest and down i think the scent would be fairly safe.
I just need something that can handle humid and hot temperatures.

Adg you said? im leaning more towards Issey Miyake

I'd say go with cool water or issey, but they will probably wear off very easily.
Although I think graceful amplification by heat is more important than longevity for this situation.

I dont know, it seems the chlorinated steam would just kill whatever you're wearing. If anything, just give the back of your head/hair a spritz.

Recommendations:
Cool Water or Issey

Sorry, I can't help laughing. You don't sound like much fun at a hottub party, Kbar, it sounds you're approaching it as a cologne party standing in a hot tub. Hot tubs are for getting down, man, so go get down and cut loose. You're worried about your cologne? And you're going to be stiff upright so that you protect your cologne? And all that is going to get you nookie? Get real dude, and have some fun.

It's not a cologne time, this party.

I agree with DustB. Also, I'd be afraid the heat would amplify the fragrance to an embarassing volume. You don't want the females saying "...dude, are you wearing like an assload of cologne?!" Maybe just use a nice body wash and mouth wash. You'll be good to go. Don't overthink it, man. It's a hottub party.

If you must, wear 212 as your scent of the day that day and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T REAPPLY. I've had good luck with Canali in such situations (hot tubs and pools), but you don't own it.

You could bath in MKK. just kidding!!!!

I would wear something light.

If you are wearing a frag in a hottub party just be sure it doesn't get amplify and smell too strong once in there cause you gonna look like the guy who is trying too hard.

It will only be useful pre hottub. Once in there to keep your fragrances safe shouldn't be in your mind.Don't overthink it and Just fully enjoy the lady's.

Have a good time!

The heat will make intensify your scent and it will seem like you are trying too hard. Be showered with clean skin, and get your party a good bottle of Champagne for the tub.

Alcohol + hot tub + girls = fragrance doesn't matter!

Get them nice and liquored up and HAVE FUN!

I have to cosign Dust's take on the situation and want to add you might wanna think about following Hednic's lead here.

Of course the cowboy hat thing may work too but ONLY if you bring your nads and the right attitude to help pull it off . . . . speaking of which when she wants to take it off your head and put it on hers - give in and go with it.

A date in a hot tub?! I've never heard of such a thing. You don't go out on a date in a hot tub, you play "Let's Hide The Hotdog"

Whatever you wore, or did not wear, do tell us how it worked out.

I like the way this man thinks.

Then again, you could also take any of the aquatics and dump the bottle in the hot tub. Or if you are concerned with the chlorine smell then dump The Platinum Egoiste, it'll blend well.

Do not however, follow up by sprinkling rose petals on the water.

Trust me.

I think this thread's question should live long in Basenotes lore.
