Well I will comment on my favourite cologne at the moment, which is Black XS. Beautiful fragrance.

My all time favourite was a not terribly large bottle my uncle sent me from the UK, it had no descriptive markers of who made it or what brand it was. But it was amazing. Despite searching, I have been unable to locate a second helping once the first bottle ran out. Sadly some of the best things are fleeting.

I go with the Hugo Boss original most of the time. Haven't found anything comparable yet.

My Norwegian fellow! I tried Hugo Boss last year. In all honestly, my nasal cavity having been stricken with the scents of at least 20 other fragrances, I caved into Hugo Boss. It was a wonderful scent to wear when I wan on official business and leading my team at work, but never did it possess the seductive charm of a truly wonderous cologne.

Keep seaching. Find something that turns heads and leaves boys and girls around you with a memory of utter enchantment. Hugo Boss is good in official business circles, but search further for something truly seductive.

It's not easy. I feel so uncomfortable walking around perfumeries smelling samples, these places seem designed to lure in women and keep out men. Whenever I'm forced to buy new perfume it feels like I'm on some tactical strike mission where I have to infiltrate and retrieve the object within a 2 minute parameter to avoid mental breakdown. Needless to say this doesn't leave much room for experimentation.

I totally understand.

Look, after the first 20 fragrances, your nose isn't exactly at its best. It becomes de-sensitised from the barrage of different odours. Bring a friend in with you to get a second opinion - someone you KNOW can be trusted for their sense in taste. This will be a big help, I promise.

DON'T feel rushed. The shop employees don't own the shop, they are there to serve you, and should be regarded accordingly. If they have to stand there and help you sample 50 different fragrances, tough, if they hated it that much they would be doing an accounting course instead so they could crunch numbers. You are the customer, about to dosh out probably no less than Aus $50 for a decent cologne which should make you feel like nothing less than royalty; they can damn well stand there and do their job.

This is the smell which should linger in the air and leave those in your wake with a seductive memory of the gorgeous being which just passed by, settle for nothing less.

I have already enough problems keeping women at a distance - adding an attractive scent would only add to my problems...  Wink

@ Reginmund: use my tactic. Risk your life and take your friend (a girl) shopping. Take her to the perfume section and then turn your ninja skills on and go wild with smelling little papers :)

Thanks for the advice, guys. Next time I promise I won't get the same bottle again.

for traditional occasions like friday prayers and family gathering i go with the old Oud oil, just a very very small amount behind the ears.

normal days i don't use fragrances much, i have a collection from frerrari to hugo boss, also thinking to buy Amouage Silver (an Omani brand)

I've been using "eau lente" by diptyque for ten years it is subtle and lasts for ever.
