I know this sounds crude but......

Obviously everybody's body chemistry is different, what smells nice on you can change on another. That being said, anyone think that a particular fragrance mixes well with their own smell of sweat and the smell of sex. I understand if this thread my be taken down and i apologise if it shouldn't be here but i was just curious. Hopefully they wont kill the cat :-)

In all seriousness AdG. For me and through the years it has mixed well with the heaviest sweats on the hottest days whether in/outdoors. Yep, hint hint nudge nudge. That sourness that others complain about after a day's wear works favorably on me and that particular aspect lasts longer than many EDCs start to finish. Sure, it is much villified around these parts as the epitome of the aquatics genre but I stand by it. No hatin' here.

Terre d'Hermes, although I don't find it a "sexy" frag.... it has no animalic component of it's own, and with the way iso-e super works differently on different people, I almost think of it as a Body Odor adornment or enhancer.

I haven't worried too much about whether a given fragrance works well with the "smell of sex" - if you've gotten that far, you already know it's a winner!

Otherwise, yeah - Knize Two, L'Heure Bleue, Knize Ten, and BPAL Aelopile (as scentcloud suggests, it's a bitter/green citrus) have each left me wondering at times how a soiled undershirt drenched in sweat can smell so good when I so clearly need a long shower. That's also why I make an effort to keep English Leather deodorant on-hand.

This. Like it or not, look around online for people asking girls what they like to smell on a guy, and ADG comes up a Hell of a lot.

Sometimes when I'm in a store and walk up to a clerk, for example, there is a stench of garlic or ham/pepperoni/baloney. If he were to sprays on a frag, it could only help so much! LOL.

Yep. I'm on a fragrance shopping safari in Chicago today. Applied MKK at Barney's five hours ago, and it's still hanging in there. Very nice stuff. Gets better as it combines with my own skin scent. Almost bought it, but the open was a little too much for me. Today's winning purchases - after sampling over 20 fragrances - Serge Lutens Chene and Penhaligon's English Fern.

Sorry to be crude as well, but why waste your time with worrying about fragrances in intimate moments?

NOTHING beats the scent of a woman. (And I don't mean Al Pacino hamming it up and getting a sympathy Oscar).

You are right but sometimes a little bit extra is even better

Certainly an evocative and persuasive description. I'll stop short of asking about how that scent association came to mind. . .
