I picked up this cologne sampler from Sephora last week.

It's $65.00 ($109.00 value) and comes with 12 samples of many of the very popular colognes discussed in this thread, once you've tried them and decided on which cologne you like best, you bring the scent certificate back to Sephora to exchange for a full sized bottle of that cologne, FOR FREE.

:wow:

If mad compliments from bytches is what you want.

Parfum de marly herod & layton
Ysl la nuit de homme
Dior sauvage (less is more with this one)
Bleu de chanel

It's a shame the ysl joint was reformulated. If you can get the vintage version, get on it. Those five are my go to for panty droppers.

Yeah fam, I'm trying 1 different cologne per week to see which one I vibe with the most before choosing which one to wife.

The most important part of buying cologne is figuring out which one works with your unique body chemistry and that's not really something you can conclude based on other ppls experience.

crazy timing. Lat week I literally decided to buy cologne for the first time in years. Started off with 1 Million by Paco on Saturday and it's smelling great. Haven't gotten any compliments so far tho :patrice:

I'm def going to get up on this sample game though. Thanks :salute:

If you're looking for an attention getter from women nothing tops Creed Aventus in my experience even though it's not my favorite scent. I get nonstop compliments from it. Plus it lasts forever, and the dry down is just :wow: I still prefer Green Irish Tweed. Another favorite of mine is Terre D'hermes.

Don't even care that it's super common/known but there's a reason for that. If you haven't ever rocked Acqua di gio, you need to grab some and wear it for a week. Been rocking this shyt for like a decade and still to this day, if I wear it I get at least one bytch complimenting and asking about it. It's legit crazy how much bytches love it. I've had other bomb scents but this the only one with that kinda success rate.

The only other shyts I really ever ended up fukking with on the regular was Kenneth Cole joints. Black was nice, but Reaction was my shyt. Especially for a "lower" priced cologne that could be used for daily use. Almost as many compliments on that as the Armani.

BUT the thing I haven't seen many say in this thread is none of our opinions matter that much because this should be diff for everyone. Yeah we can go off base smell, but we all thinking about our personal experience wearing it etc, and sense the natural smell of your body interacts with the cologne your wearing, its all gonna smell a bit diff depending on who's wearing it, so just cus something smells bomb on someone else, don't mean it wont smell like ASS on you lol

Channel blue mixed with the YSL. Have you right on the everyday. Copped a bottle of bond #9 Chainz wear when I reallly wanna impress and been undefeated since
no lie, i did this last week. I never layer 2 different scents with each other, but they compliment each other well.



If you can't afford Aventus by Creed... try Pineapple Vintage Intense...if you want to go real cheap for Aventus clone try Insurrection Pure II. Pineapple Vintage Intense has given me some real nice compliments.

People also sleep on Green Irish Tweed by Creed it's just as good if not better than Aventus. It's also way cheaper to buy on discount sites. Don't buy into the hype that Cool Water is the same as Green Irish Tweed...they are different to me and GIT is much more natural and beast mode.

Invictus Aqua which is discontinued is another beast that served me well this summer. I only had a 5ml sample but it was more than enough to let me know it's bottle worthy.

Other favorites....

Bleu De Chanel
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
Play Intense
Mont Blanc Individuel
Versace Eau Frachie
Dolce & Gabanna The One

I have 3 that I keep in rotation

My girl hits that :gucci: when her fiends sniff me and ask what I'm wearing.

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc gets the most turned heads... shyt is like a tropical beachy smell... coconut mixed with some musky scent. Has a great radius... like it's strong and lasts but isn't overpowering.

Versace Eros always makes my girl crazy. Smells great, lasts long and IMO is the best transitional one. I might put it on when I step out and it smells better a couple hours later

For everyday wear tho I use Dior Sauvage. It's much lighter then the other two but smells similar to the Versace Eros. Smells more fresh than anything.
that tom ford seems similar to creed virgin island water



Where and how many times do you spray the cologne?


I always feel like I never use enough bc I can't smell it
olfactory fatigue takes over your body quickly, making you not smell any fragrance on you. 2-3 sprays max is what you should aim for. Gotta hit your pulse points, I do 2 on each side of my neck like 2 inches under the earlobe. Then one on my wrist and I just rub it into my other wrist. Depending on the potency and how the cologne reacts to your body's chemistry, most people will still smell it on you after a while. I had people compliment how I smelled even after a hot-sweaty 8 hour shift.



If mad compliments from bytches is what you want.
