Fellas, I need to know what the best smelling colognes are for men. I've got a date coming up and this girl means a lot. I know she goes crazy from a good cologne. What should I get?

If you dont care, just go with eros, sauvage or >>15861305 . If you care, you would need to know your shit and smell distinctively (without going to meme barnyard fragrances).

Similar to sauvage but better in every way, i used to post on the fragrance general but started buying stocks, crypto and guns instead. It has a very cologny vibe that your average basic bitch should like and also find masculine

Go to a Sephora or something like that and try some out. I would pick something that is warm and sweet for a date. Armani code absolu is great or dolce and gabbana the one edp.

Cologne smell restricts blood flow to the vagina, according to studies. If you have to wear something, keep it subtle and clean. I used to work in a perfume shop and had to go to marketing seminars for this stuff, sounds boring but women really don’t give a shit about it unless she wants you to impress her friends or something.

bad advice, don't know how it smells but you should not wear daring fragrances on a first date if you have to ask what fragrance should you wear


it's trikcy, depends on the situation. bitches in eurpope like sauvage, invoictus, eros, but like i've said it depends, age, situation, location. go try some at the mall

>bad advice

Not necessarily, i rather wear something challenging like Loewe Esencia, Polo Green, Yatagan, because it boost my confidence. I feel like a faggot wearing something that's generic fresh, boring and people recognize you as the one wearing a "typical fragrance".

I'm also in europe and i rather would approach a girl with a skanky, earthy, non sweet fragrance, than with a fuckboi scent. Women instantly would think you're insecure.

It is a numbers game. These generic frags are group tested to have the best impression on average. Sure, there is a 5% chance that OP will meet a girl that would much rather have loewe esensa than Eros, but unless he knows for sure beforehand, it is much more likely to meet someone that enjoys eros instead.

It's difficult to give advice on what a particular girl will like, many off them like sweet scents but at the same time the most popular sweet ones like Eros are completely played out.
You're better off picking something that is closer to your own style, assuming that it doesn't smell terrible to everyone else but you.
Avoid Zootopian, its not good first date material. If money isn't an issue, go with Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. Otherwise I'd suggest the Prada Luna Rossa Carbon like a previous anon said. And if that is too expensive go with Mugler Amen or Cool Water.
Good luck

If you're familiar with scents then you'll immediately recognize Grey Flannel as something that was popular in the 70s. That doesn't mean it smells bad, I have a bottle and enjoy it myself. But it doesn't have the mass appeal it once had and might not be the best choice for a first date

Yeah, but that's the girls you don't want or despise. I can think of your typical thot liking your extreme scent on some arabian dude or someone who hears to local muslim rap etc. the girls i know, talk to are the down to earth ones, they despise sweet scents and prefer the "dated" ones. Maybe because they let you smell "trustworthy".
Talking from areas in europe, i know in more southern countries women like it sweeter, but because they live a different lifes.

"dated" - it's self explanatory. a smell that became common, it might not be the fragrance itself, but the smell. shower gels, shaving creams, cleaning products, all want to smell good so they copy popular scents, this is how a lot of fragrances smells became dated. it's not made up, it's real. I've never smelled colonia essenza for example until a few weeks ago, it's not even that old of a fragrance but the smell is pure soap, I recognize it instantly. this is how it works.

sure, "dated" is not a term you would use when describing purely a fragrance, the smell, as it means nothing, of course it's not a note or accord.

to make a parallel, normal people use "dated", "after shave" for a smell they know already and smelled a lot in a form or another, much like fragrance people are tired of invictus etc, and would use "generic trash" to describe it.

Tbh you both have a point. You need to get something that you think smells good and you're comfortable with. Eg I'm fairly reserved so wearing a loud clubbing frag like 1 million et al makes me feel self conscious and I dont really like it and it doesnt fit the way I present myself. That being said, unless you're very comfortable with it I wouldnt go for kouros or some shit because tastes have certainly changed. There are some classics but they are few. I'd say best bet is to try some modern frags and pick the one you like best

If your only goal is to smell nice for a girl, get Versace Eros or Dior Sauvage or Bleu de Chanel and you'll be fine (you could probably grab anything from the fragrance department at Macy's and be fine)

a good part of them deem it old smelling, it was extremely popular in the 90s, so they associate it with that period if they smelled it then, and it's a great chance they did. though, it doesn't smell dated, if you like it go for it, but it's not a lady killer generally, not today. this is merely my experience though.

I personally like Bleu de Chanel more. It smells more mature, but I do get a ton more compliments from women wearing Eros. It might be because of the heavy amount of projection Eros has though so people smell it from a few feet away. I’d say give the new Eros EDP a chance, from what I’ve read it’s basically better in every way. That or just wear the one you like more, most women are going to like both so you might as well like it too.
