Question:
I was thinking of returning it. I have only sprayed it about 12 or less times, so its really full..and i have 3.4 ounces of this juice..
Thing is, I bought it blind, but I heard it had good longevtiy..yes true, but it wasn't until i posted about it that i confirmed the subtle smell is what others got too...I was thinking it was like kouros ..sillage crazy...
I sprayed 4 sprays to test, then about 7 or 8 for an appilication to fully try it, and although my G/F says its good..it just seems a little too subtle for my tastes and i do not see me enjoying it in the future...
So, would SWISS ARMY be a good exchange? it cost me 40 bucks for BK so i would prob def. be able to get SA large bottle...and after reading reviews and posts...it seems like a cologne for me...
-well liked by others (safe)
-sillage is good
-longevity good
-cheap

Answer:
Personally, I don't think SA holds a candle to BK in terms of smoothness, quality, or people liking it. However, I found they're both long lasting with great sillage. Not subtle at all.
If you like SA go for it. I don't think that it's a bad fragrance. There is just some sharp, bitter, and very strong note in it that I can't stand at all.
Probably a good exchange, as they can both be had for cheap.

Answer:
Stop blind buying.

Answer:
Body Kouros is a good oriental, going out, night time scent - and subtle is a word I would never apply to it. Odd that it's behaving that way on you.
Swiss Army is a good fresh fougere scent, probably better used during day time.
Depends what you want a scent for.

Answer:
Have others confirm if BK is still there or not a couple of hours after applying. What you perceive and what the others perceive can be very different, so what you may think to be merely "good sillage" may be, with olfactory fatigue and all, a suffocating cloud for others.

Answer:
A few thoughts:
If you spray liberally, can't smell it during the day, and yet it is there 12 hours later, then while the sillage might not be 'killer,' other people can smell it throughout the day even if you can't.
Your girlfriend likes it. It wasn't too expensive. I get the impression you like the smell of it, and if you can't notice it much during the day you aren't being bothered much by it being unpleasant at any rate. Also, you keep buying blind, I think because you feel pressured to find a scent *now* as opposed to taking your time to find the perfect one.
My suggestion, given the above? Keep it. Wear it. Seriously.
For one thing, it will be hard to find a sillage monster scent your girlfriend will really enjoy. This one is pleasant, liked by her, great longevity, almost certainly more noticed by others than you realise, you don't dislike it, seems to have a good rep here, you have it, and you didn't spend an arm and a leg on it. So wear it. Wear it, see how it grows on you, ask people you trust how strong the scent is throughout the day, let the girlfriend enjoy it, try to relax and take pleasure in it for yourself as well. At the same time, you can stop worrying about needing a scent right away - you already have a good one. Now you can take your time to find an even better one by sampling.
And it is always better to err on the side of too subtle with scent than to err the other way. (After all - is your goal to make a statement to other men out there, or to enjoy your scent, or to have your girlfriend enjoy it and/or potential girlfriends be drawn by it?)
I hope you find my $1.98 helpful to think about, whether or not you end up keeping Body Kouros.

Answer:
I'm really confused by this quest for "extreme sillage" that so many seem to be on these days. It's nice to have other people be able to smell you, sure, but that is rather easily accomplished. There is no need to shove the scent up someone's nose who isn't even close to you.
As a final note, I think that you are mispercieving the amount of sillage that your BK has. BK has incredible sillage and I can't imagine why anyone would want more.
