OP, i feel you on the price of cologne, especially when you get to the more name brand ones. after all, it's only some god damn water and chemicals. buthey, you pay for that name brand scent. whether you believe it or not, there is a difference between rite aid cologne and those found at nordstrom.

i'd recommend checking out http://www.scentiments.com/, they got some great deals on big-name cologne brands andhave great shipping times.

Or just convert to body oils. Much cheaper. Same effect.

For every cologne, there is an exact replica body oil out there. You need to invest in body oils. Deeper scent

What's the difference between the 2?

We comparing oil to water? Oils evaporate slower, while also being absorbed by the skin better and longer, thus retaining scent longer.

How many pumps do you guys use to go through a bottle quick? I have a Bvlgari that I've been using for a long time now and it's stillpretty full. I just spray two pumps on the wrist and smear them against each other. You want a hint of the smell, not be saturated in it.

The same way cologne can make a female be like "Daaaamn

"

It can just as easily make her say...


All you really need is a little bit on both wrists and a little on your neck. Rub them in a little and body heat does the rest...

You got it Al Audi, i'm that guy Edit: I usually spray cologne all over myself. It would be about 4-6 sprays if i had to guess.

If you're spraying it on your clothes, your wasting money b.

I learned that from the old guys.

You gotta put it on your body, especially parts you can easily rub to create heat and make the smell come off on it's own.

Not to mention that any popular COlogne out there has a Body Oil Alternative out there as well. Smells EXACTLY the same for 5% of the price.

I am not sure that scents can be patented so it is a free market really.

Preach.

A month's supply of vitamins, protein, NO, and creatine can easily come around to $200+ minimum.

And that's just the basic stuff most people get....not even including other stuff a lot of people tend to experiment with.

dudes drowning in it

here's an older pic of my collection

might sell some soon, some i don't wear

 

[ii jovo ii]

heres a tip i learned from the broads from Nordstroms..spray your cologne on your skin after lotion is applied, the scent will last longer

 

[rfx45]

I don't like it that they rarely go on sale and are always excluded from coupon discounts, especially the best ones.
The ones I like doesn't even offer any free bag or earphones or anything complimentary.

I'll be getting JV Vintage and Rock.

 

[mynameaintg]

best cologne ever.

[biggie62]

I only wear it for a special occasion or when I go out to a club or bar where I know I'm going to be trying to scoop a girl. Otherwise I have just gooddeodorant. The Nivea liquid ones are the best.
