Cool Water Deep and blue is obvious because the package is all blue, so maybe that's all it is, but I wonder. Yes I do think the focus is centered on the smell and my evidence is Polo Black. If you take a look in the directory, you'll find that members Rashkae, MonkeyManMatt, RCavs, kmfdm10392, Legends, and Joel_Cairo all commented that the fragrance isn't black at all, even though the bottle/marketing would suggest this. Now unless there was something to it, how would all these members detect a color (or lack thereof) in a frag?

It's not so much ads as I don't really ever see ads for this stuff, but I wonder if I'm just influenced by the packaging, colour of the bottle or liquid etc. It's mostly about the reds and blues - it's the cool waters - for some reason I feel weird about wearing them with red, and similarly I feel wrong about wearing Orange Verte or Opium with blue. Black goes with everything. WHo knows maybe this is just some weird temporary neurotic thing! It doesn't strike me as any more weird than feeling like one scent is ok for casual vs formal, night vs day, etc.
I wonder if Cool Water Deep was red in a red bottle, if I'd feel exactly the opposite and only want to wear it with red or black and never blue.

Answer:
I will only worry about colour when the juice will stain my shirt!

Cool Water Deep and blue is obvious because the package is all blue, so maybe that's all it is, but I wonder. I reckon its a bit of both. The marketers / packaging designers obviously draw their inspiration for deciding on box/bottle/juice colours from the way the fragrance smells.

Answer:
So, finally something besides a Cool Water variant that I can wear with a dark blue t-shirt: Xeryus Rouge.

Answer:
Awesome thread, I always associate scents with colour. Here's a few of mine:
Serge Lutens Chergui - Colour of light desert Sand
Daim Blond - Blue and Purple Mix
Creed Imperial - Deep Blood Red
m7 fresh - grey with red flecks
varvatos - deep purple
antaeus - mahogany

Answer:
Wanted to start this thread up again as I've noticed some more fragrances that go with certain colours of clothes -

M7 fresh I think I can only wear with black tops. Actually black clothes "match" almost every fragrance, just like they match almost any colour.

Body Kouros goes best with black, or purples.

Kouros - I like it, but I can't seem to wear it with anything!

Jardin Sur le Nil is best with black or dark browns and greens, or white.

Silver Mountain Water goes with dark reds and oranges for some reason.

And when it comes to just associating fragrances with colours in the abstract - it's almost always the colour of the bottle or juice for me!

Answer:
Definitely. It's odd, but mainly I find this for my Creed's. Not so much with my other scents.
Scent: Colors
Millesime Imperial: White, Light Brown
Himalaya: Light Blue, Pink
GIT: Green , Black

Even though you have a history of nearly asphyxiating yourself with your overly enthusiastic applications of multiple scents, no, honey, you are NOT neurotic about this color thingy you are going through.
Happens to me all the time.
When I wear fleurs d'oranger I sometimes gravitate towards melon colored or orange hued accessories, my sandalwood scents feel at home with an earthy pallette, my unakite (green stone with terracotta and blush streaks) carved necklace loves my Jasmin Impeatrice Eugenie.
