Perfume yea or nay?

CMT has a certain perfume, I don't know the name but I love it. Puts me in the mood it does

I love most perfume on women. Smelling good is a major turn-on.

However there’s a type of woman of a certain look and age who decide to start wearing those completely overbearing floral perfumes. The ones that linger in the air. Eau de Menopause. The Horseshoe Bar in Dublin is a very good spot to inhale these overpowering perfumes - if that’s your thing.

I rarely like women's perfumes. Most are cheap and nasty. Some are simple and lovely. Truth is that nice smells cost money. The synthetic stuff is cheap and smells cheap.

Much better to go with an identifiable smell like lemon, lavender or jasmine than the synthetic nasty smells by YSL or Channel.

If you walk down the street and smell perfume, then it's too strong and probably nasty. You should really be fairly intimate with someone before you smell their perfume.

Cool water by Davidorff is my lucky perfume !

As nice as a perfume might be if you wear too much it's repulsive. Same goes for aftershave. Less is more.

Its for me i wear it. :P I wear as much as I like.

Love perfume on a woman...not the sharp stuff though

Always wear Dior brand perfume, and like an aftershave smell on a man.

Exclamation was all the rage for the 90s teenager. Found a bottle clearing out the attic the other day. Vile smell bought back many memories.

I love it, it is one thing that can really improve my opinion of people if they smell really good. Especially for men,a good cologne can make me way more attracted to a guy. But a lot of women overdo it with extremely sweet smelling varieties, there are some gorgeous smelling female perfumes though that can be a bit more subtle

I dunno.

Never been but Ive heard women refer to that Bar as The Horse**** Bar because the men there are full of it.

They’re scents I’d normally associate with laundry detergents and household cleaning products or air fresheners! Not that they don’t smell nice, but they have their place (preferably not on a woman ).

Varies a ridiculous amount for me really, I know most of the more expensive scents by smell, and I wouldn’t have the greatest olfactory senses in the world either. It’s so individual too, like Tom Ford masculine fragrances worn by a woman can be -





And then on other women, it just doesn’t evoke the same attention at all!


Personally, as much as it gets a bad rap on here, I’ve never had any complaints yet about Lynx Africa, quite the opposite - I’m often told I smell good. I dunno, I’ve never had reason to change I guess

For me, as a male I tend to wear Chanel Egoiste, Tom Forde black orchid(a recent discovery) Issey Miyake pour Homme and the Intense, or creed Aventus.

Have a few others that don't get any skin time anymore, but lately black orchid is really catching my nose and the Mrs isn't complaining like

Honourable mention the JPG le male, but I think I'm too old for it now :pac:
