Spending that 70 dollars to get a cologne will give you way more compliments and presence than a shirt/shoe/sweater that costs the same.
Worthwhile investment if you ask me.

I have worked in a fragrance shop for five years and I have a secret to share: women do not give a shit about men's cologne brands. Women come in all the time looking for gifts for their dads/husbands/whatever and all they ask for is either "spicy" or "fresh" and then they just buy whatever is cheapest. Just find sometjing you like and don't worry about the brand, cause your girl sure as hell doesn't.

Avoid most "popular" fragrances unless you want to smell like many other people.

Sup scent twin? I tend to wear CdG 2 Man on a night out or a cold day. I seem to smell it more on a crisp, cold day. I'm had 2 comments from wearing it at work.

One girl said she liked it and asked what it was. The other was a guy who said it wasn't really his cup of tea. I got about 4 compliments from wearing Tom Ford - Noir to work all from girls. However it is quite a sweet, girly smelling fragrance. I wouldn't normally wear it for work, it's definitely a more sensual, black tie, night out kind of fragrance and can be quite sickly sweet, cloy and overpowering if used in the wrong way.

I actually wore it today because I read your post yesterday, but man it's so unforgiving. The scent itself is absolutely fantastic. I found wonderwood to be very boring, but 2 man really has a unique and characteristic smell that doesn't even seem like a designed perfume, more like some actual kind of specially treated wood, like it's a natural scent.
that is of course cool, but it's so strong and acrid and so characteristic that around noon (it's just past 2 p.m. here) I almost get sick because I smell it all the time although I just used one stroke. you are right in that it's a smell for late autumn or winter, because it's so dark, warm and voluminous. but putting it on during the day is just not working for me, it always seems a notch too much.
