I always notice some women just have the best perfume and it really does make them more attractive just from the smell alone. I’m wondering, what do you think is the best cologne for a man? Have you ever received a compliment?

    Go to Sephora and try a few. Pick one that smells fresh. Ask the salespeople for help, they’ll probably be dying to help. Only one sprits when you use it. People sitting next to you should smell you, not people across the room.

      People sitting next to you should smell you, not people across the room.

      “Smell should be discovered, not announced.” Some of the best advice I’ve learned.

    Woman here, let me say, for me Polo by Ralph Lauren, it just tickles my brain in all the right ways. It’s a shame really that my husband doesn’t like strong smells on him because I’ve asked if I could buy him some cologne, and he always turns it down. Like I’m not even allowed to buy scented laundry detergent, it has to be the unscented kind.

    You gotta figure it out. Go find a company that appeals to you and order a sampler pack. Try the samples one day at a time until you find the one that is you. I like this approach better than going to some store counter because you can take your time. After smelling one or two colognes, it’s very hard to be able to appreciate others, so ordering the sampler packs gives you time to decide.

    Few of my colleagues like Alexandria Fragrances. I’ve had luck with Guy Fox. Both have sampler packs. It’s literally a rabbit hole of choices. One of my colleagues spends thousands of dollars on rare perfumes.

    It does depend on the person and their regular scent. I hate the stupid commercials, but i love my husband’s Sauvage and Acqua di Gio.

    Oh boy, does this depend. I strongly suggest you wear what you like, and not worry about compliments.

    Personally, Kouros and not too much of it is one I both notice and like but I do think it’s polarizing. I dislike aquatic musks and overly clean smells, laundry musks.

    But again - it’s so individual you are better off pleasing yourself, if you smell good to you, you will be happier and that is attractive.

    I have quite a few. My wife’s favorites are Versace Eros, Versace Dylan Blue, and Dior Sauvage. My personal favorites are Mont Blanc Explorer, Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue, and Viktor Rolf Spicebomb Fresh.

    Honorable mention to Azzaro The Most Wanted.

    It depends on how well it combines with your skin, natural scent I guess.
