Hey guys,
I'm back again.. Roughly after 3 years of being inactive

Through the last few years i've tried
CK Crave
Burberry Weekend Men
Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey PH
JPG Le Male
CK Contradiction

and i can't remember anymore atm..

Was just wondering.. Whats a good cologne for people around my age...for both summer and winter.. I'm close to running out and need to stock up
Budget is around $100AUD per cologne .. I don't want something really common... Is versace eau d fraiche common?
I've tried acqua di gio and bvlgari Aqva Pour homme.. both i really like but i think they might be a bit too overused?

Find an eBay or other online retailer that'll ship Abercrombie Fierce to Oz. It's an absolutely perfect year-round scent for an 18 year old guy. Plus, nobody else will be wearing it in your country/continent. Thank me when the ladies start to swoon, because they will. It's worth the trouble obtaining it. A 1.7oz bottle will last you a year, it's strong enough that you only need 1-2 sprays per application. Unfortunately, you can't order it directly from Abercrombie since they won't ship overseas. Maybe this can get you started:

or this guy in Australia

Check out this review:

Women would take two steps towards me and I'd notice their nostrils moving ... sniffing away. I would be stopped while I was out and asked about 10 times a day what cologne I was wearing.

When I was in Quebec ... where Abercrombie was not yet sold ... I felt like a celebrity. People would literally stop in their tracks when I walked by. One group of ladies asked if I minded if they rubbed their arms against me so they could ask their boyfriends if they liked the scent. Another group of women asked to follow me back to the hotel and told me they would follow me back to my hotel and buy the bottle of cologne off me. (I still do not think they were joking).

Unreliable report, at best.

Cologne won't make girls wet between the thighs. Doesn't work that way. Buy what you'd like.

AdG is indeed overused but people don't know any better and unless you're planning on trying out more obscure colognes in the future, just go for it. It's incredible and overused for a reason.

If not - l'homme by YSL or la nuit de l'homme or body kouros or zegna z.

He's right. Get whatever you want. Especially if it's Abercrombie Fierce.
