Question:
Hmm...
Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label
Bulgari pour Homme - Might be a tad spicy for your taste

Answer:
Yea,
I want to stay away from spicy smells as well.
I mean hey, I'll try Blue Label, Tiffany sport and Bulgari, and Chic on the swatches. It wouldn't hurt. Man' I know right away what makes me wince.
LOL Now I have a list of 15 colognes to swatch AGAIN...and smell over the weekend, when they sit for a day or 2 then you get the real nice actual smell of the cologne ya know?
Funny, as soon as I went on the hunt for 3 new colognes to get rid of the old ones, the wife gets pissy and wants me to do the same for her perfume! lol lol. Like I'm spending to much research on cologne and not a perfume that drives me crazy. What the f! lol
I like that BOSS Selection a lot, but that maybe because I had HUGO by BOSS my whole life so it stayed with my reaction when I smell anything new from them.
As much as I like Selection I want to try and find other colognes with the same textures and aroma's that I like...light, sporty, clean smelling.
I have a feeling I'll like Traditional by Parsons if that was the first choice.
I'm off to go get those swatches and then ..UGHHHHHH I have to go back over the weekend and smaple the hottest perfume smells for the Mrs. ...friggin unbelieveable! I thought I was renewing my scents!
Any good suggestions on WOMENS perfumes?????
The top 5? I really dont want to go in there trying 50 fragrances.
Thanks.

Answer:
Heh, count your blessing Squire. My wife is a signature scentaur, and by that I mean, she wears one fragrance, day in, day out, all occasions, all seasons.
When the one bottle runs out, she picks up another one, the same one, and the big one. I have come to know and even appreciate every nuance and hint Calvin Klein Truth has to offer. This admirable consistency has been going on for seven years. What she wore before that has been lost in the mist of time.
If and when Truth is discontinued, and the last spray is freed from the bottle; then and only then, will we, and believe me when I say we, for I do intend to have some input, trot ourselves down to probably Macy's and find a suitable replacement. I pray for that day.
And I expect to enjoy the new scent for what in all likelihood will be for about a decade.

Answer:
Wow Riddle! Just one perfume? Thats hardcore!
I know theres a perfume that I'll smell that will drive me nuts I just dont want to go through the crappy ones ya know..lol.
Whether its walking in a store or a Mall theres that one perfume that your like, "Holy S...what is that pefume its so good!"
I've smelled a perfume once in a Mall and I swear that the smell was a perfume that I smelled when I was back in school in the 80's and it hit me like a ton of bricks it was sooo good! Those scents are amazing cause they bring back a zillion things in your head that brings you back to that time. I have no clue of what names they are and when they came out I just know that there is this ONE smell that I can pick out of a room of women that I love. I have to find that out this weekend. lol
I think a woman should have one or 2 perfumes she likes and then at least 1 or 2 that drive us crazy as men.
Good luck and when that bottle runs out tell her its time to get 2..1 for you and 1 for her. No doubt I believe that there is a perfume that can drive us crazy and get us in the mood the minute it's worn. lol

Well here's a list of colognes I got today that some of you recommended, some were recommended by the Macy's mens counter:
Envy-Gucci
Aqua-Herrera
Polo sport
Vera Wang
Blue label
Double black
Prada PH
R.S.V.P
Essentials
Versace man
Chrome
Polo Blue
Boss selection
Bulgari Extreme
Nautica
Out of all of these I did a 1-15, one being the best and 15 being the worst etc etc.
My choices:
1. Bulgari
2. Versace Man
3. Nautica Voyage
4. Boss Selection
5. Polo Sport
6. Double Black Polo
7. Polo Blue
8. Essentials
9. Blue label
10. Vera wang
11. R.S.V.P.
12. Prada PH
13. Envy
14. Chrome
15. Aqua
Now I have to check out Terre' d' Hermes, Vetiver, *Traditional, and Geir. I have to go to Roosevelt field mall for these cause they do not carry these out here, i tried saks and Bloomies and Roosevelt Field has the ones I need that some of you recommended.
The bottom of my list smells too Tobacco'ee and a couple have talcum lightness to them, too faint and a bit feminine. That Prada PH is definately a scent thats geared for a woman, it smells too feminine? There pushing R.S.V.P at the malls I tried it on the wrist...too powerful for me, I like the clean fresh light smells thats at the top of the list.
Some of you know the ingredients that are in the bottom of my list, what do I have to stay away from?? I smell tobacco D&G like odors in some of those colognes as well as a spice talcum smell on Envy, aqua, and Vera Wang?? No good. they smell feminie to me
Holdin out until I smell Hermes, and Traditional etc.
Sorry for the big post but I would like to thank you guys so much for helping me with what accents to stay away from? What is in the ones I like in the first 8 picked.

Funny...the wife came home and picked Nautica Voyage as number 1, Boss Selection #2, and Polo Sport as #3.
We both like Nautica and Boss selection. That light airy, woodsy, clean ocean, Drakkar smell. Hell, I'm still thinkin about getting Drakkar. lol
I honestly cant wait to go to Roosevelt Field here on Long Island cause Nordstroms is the only store that has 99 Regent, Traditional, Terre D' Hermes, M7, Geir, and Vetiver!
I aint buying squat unless I try out the above mentioned.
Which ones in the above are strong and musky/Tobacco-ie??? I dont like the rich musks. Much thanks to all. I can smell the tobacco in any cologne I smell it in Burberry for men and I swear it's in D&G.
Hope Hugh Parsons fits into my fav's. I'm curious about Hermes??
