How would you wear it? *forum game*

Whats up people.

A lot of us here own the same fragrances but we don't necessary use it the same way
Instead of doing a poll or something i think this would be a good idea to get the different opinions of how each person wears fragrance X.

Each person names 2-3 fragrances, and the person under him writes briefly how he would wear them (one or even all), and names 2-3 different ones.

i will start it off:

1. Armani Mania
2. Azzaro Onyx
3.YSL Opium

1. Kouros I'd use to spray outside in my bin, if it ever got smelly
2. Eau Sauvage I used this quite a lot when it first came out, so if I ever purchased it again, I'd use it in the morning for work

1. Xerjoff - Uden
2. Carthusia - Mediterraneo
3. Frapin - L'Humaniste

Someone else can respond to this one seriously, but I just can't resist:

1. Himalaya - when I want to pay a lot of money to smell like Paco XS
2. Green Irish Tweed - when I want to pay a lot of money to smell like Cool Water



Great thread idea BTW.

Since no one responded to Le Grand Duc's list, I will give it a go!
1. Égoïste - when I'm trying to exude the sophistication and class of my father
2. Xeryus Rouge - when I'm out for a quiet evening...not necessary dinner. More like after-hours drinks in a dark lounge.
3. Jaïpur Homme EdP - (have only smelt the EDT) when I'm being honored at an awards banquet and I want everyone to know I'm the guest of honor!


Rive Gauche
M7
B*Men

Rive Gauche - when I want to remind people I'm half-Asian - a hefty dose all over clothes AND skin.
M7 - when I want to get my wife's attention - all over myself (although the reformulation doesn't have the same impact).
B*Men - when it's cold and I need comfort - on my woolly scarf.

My picks:

Commes Des Garçons 2 Man
Fahrenheit 32
Habit Rouge

Commes Des Garçons 2 Man - On everything, but only when I don't give a damn what people think

Fahrenheit 32 - All over but only if I'm outta Fahrenheit Absolute and I still want her to notice

Habit Rouge - Anytime, anywhere for anything. During the day anyway.

Egoiste I'd be trying for the first time, so I'd spray it cautiously and see how it smells!

Xeryus Rouge I'd use as a room-spray for a party where fruit punch is served; Jaipur Homme I'd spray on sheets I wanted to smell generically clean and soapy. I wouldn't wear either.

Aoud Cuir d'Arabie ( or if you're not familiar. Black Aoud )

Fleur du Male

Chanel No. 5 ( Eau Premier if you prefer )

Tommy Bahama Set Sail South Seas

Fleur du Male

Chanel No. 5 ( Eau Premier if you prefer )

Aoud Cuir d'Arabie - when I feel strong, bold, blunt, confident and crave animalic, dirty leather
Fleur du Male - Never, quite frankly
Chanel No5 - for emotional sakes, it reminds me of how good perfumes used to be, its a milestone as an aldehydic frag and it smells oh-so sophisticated and feminine.i usually just spray my hand or so to sniff, a full wearing is too much for my taste.




Mazzolari Lui - same as the aoud cuir darabie, just without the leather aspect




Mine :

1. Musc Ravaguer (albeit i can imagine the responses I'm still curious^^)
2. Black Jeans by versace
3. Cuir Ottoman

2. 1740 Histoires de Parfums

Vetiver: any day, anytime, but most likely more slightly formal, semi-formal and office wear during warmer late spring or summer days
Poison: won't wear it at all until a male/unisex flanker appears, but I would certaintly choose it as a gift for
a female acquaintance/friend/s.o.
Eau Sauvage: a seaside holiday at the Mediterranean seaside, and I would keep it on from daytime onwards up to dinnertime, even during the utmost formal occasions

My choices: on which occasions would you wear

1. Armani pour Homme
2. Versace l'Homme
3. Knize Ten
