is this a good cologne for a cologne newbie to buy?

i'm on a tight budget and i want a fairly basic thing to wear to uni and stuff, but i really only want to buy one, or maybe two. so should i???

also, does anyone else really really love it when girls say that you smell nice, i know i do. or when they're like, 'someone smells amazing' and inwardly you know it's you and you're like 'awwwww yis'

yeah now you'll smell like everybody else, errbody got that shit. But it's cheap and it smells pretty nice, they came out with a new Acqua di Gio it's supposedly more oil based than this one. Google it, the bottle looks more transparent than this one which is foggy looking.

it doesn't change the fact that this cologne smells cheap and terrible. my roommate wears this and it smells horrible. i dont understnd how this cologne became thee cologne for young men because it doesn't smell good, it's rather sickening.

>> No.6051918

Subjective aside, I'll recommend you to get something else OP.

Olfactory memory is very, very strong. One in three boys wear this, this means you're very likely to remind other people of people someone else who has worn it. This means you may very well sscare away a potential gf by reminding her of her old bf ;_;

Get something a bit more obscure.

This. I went through a phase where I was seriously into cologne. I now have about 15 full bottles, many of which are 50ml and bigger and still have like 90% left in them.

Even a handful of decants at like 20ml each will last you many years.

You're on a tight budget /and/ looking to attract girls? Only thing I can think of is Derek Jeter Driven. If you can't afford the cologne then the body wash is just as good.
Simple and ladies love that shit.

I was into Nautica Voyage for some time. Decided to change it and landed on Acqua di Gio. Thinking of something different. Have some Armani Code, but I'm already tired of it. I wish I could recreate the love affair I had with Voyage. It was light, fresh, and airy with a hint of sweetness.

Anybody got any recommendations?

for beginners. can't go wrong. it's a great date night cologne. i have it and it's the cologne i've received the most comments on for sure.

i plan on going to a place in san fransisco in a few days and checking out some DS and durga colognes. they look promising and the cowboy grass one is getting some notice atm (i emailed them to make sure the store i'm stopping at stocks it, as there's only couple suppliers in each state and fuck if i'm going to be cologne i've never smelled). i'll be sure to report back how they are if i see another cologne thread sometime in the future. i'm in high hopes because they fit my rough style.

If you want a musk smell, Polo Green, but I really have to say Polo Blue is the best Polo scent, IMO.

Everyone here is going to find you boring though op. Try Some of the certified classics even though you are new to it noone has to know Someone else picked it for you.

Azzaro pour homme is a great scent wich doesn't cost a lot and is going to stand out against all the rest cause it is not just aqua di gio.

Also try most of the Guerlain fragrances some of them are absolutely unforgettable.
