Why the hell is cologne SO damn expensive?!

[a town rep]

have any of yall heard of rochas man? stuff smells pretty good imo. i only have that and burberry, barely ever wear cologne

 

[icebergslm]

Gucci pour homme IIand YSL are dangerous around the opposite sex

I haven't read through this thread but

Unforgivable by Sean John > Whatever you're wearing. I suggest you grab a bottle, especially if you're struggling getting the buns.

 

[cronicmolemolereturns]

Creed is like a mating call. Beyonce would leave Jay for Ty Ty if he wore this on the regular.

 

[ween h4ed]

My rotation

Rochas Man
Bvlgari Black
Bvlgari Extreme
Carlos Santana for Men
Azzaro Chrome

I gotta try out Burberry London. Too many co-signs on that fragrance.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea now that i think about it, smells can't be patent. There ARE "rip-offs" of name brand colognes. I know my man bought some fake issey miyakeand it smelled like the real thing. So you all have no reason to pay full price for colognes man

 

[mastamind89]

Getting some YSL L'Homme soon

 

[alchemist iq]

lol @ Sean John cologne, any celeb cologne is straight trash. All gimmick products to me.

 

[ac4three]

Yeah it's stupid...

hahaha, c'mon man. that's ridiculous. have you smelled some of these other colognes? sean john doesn't come close, many many womenwould agree.

 

[redrum sb]

I want to cop some of that L'Homme YSL off of Amazon, I was thinking about coppin the tester as opposed to the regular bottle.
The tester is only $35, should go with that?

I need to step my cologne game up, been wearing this Oxygene by Lanvin mostly everyday,

. Smell's good though...

 

[redrum sb]

btw, does Louis Vuitton make men's cologne?

 

[toy collector123]

Burberry Touch = GOLD


Also, try Sams Club

 

[frankmatthews]

I'll play

1. Considering I have a decent (IMO) rotation of cologne & they all last for well over a year, I don't mind paying $60, $70, $80 for a bottle etc.

2. Don't buy colognes just based of recomendations & names you see in this thread. "Ladies love YSL/Burberry/etc" Colognes smell differentlyon each & every person. It reacts to your body's natural scent & will almost for certain change when you apply to your skin. Go to a store &have an employee help you out. From my experience, the sales associates at Bloomingdales & Saks know what their talking about (most of the time)

3. Don't pour the stuff on & don't spary it on your clothes.

I use 2 sprays on opposite sides of my neck about 15 mins after I get out the shower & I'm good. Anything else is just OD. Especially when Iuse my parfum rather than the eau de toilettes because the parfums are way more concentrated & last a lot longer.

4. When you spray it on, allow it to dry for a bit before you cover up the scent with your clothes. & from what I've been told, don't rub it i.e.with your wrists because you will "crush" the scent.

I'm no expert, just trying to share what I've been told.

i wear it everyday, but the key is having different scents so you dont smell the same everyday.
i have a heavy rotation of cologne so its never a problem for me.
one of the important key factors to everyday cologne is not wearing a heavy amount (you shouldnt wear a lot of cologne in any even, but for everyday use, weareven less)
spray your body with a body spray (axe, old spice, whatever you have but a minimal amount), then spray your neck with the cologne (one to two sprays max at afair distance)

a normal everyday cologne can cost anywhere from $30 to however much you want, but dont go breaking bread on an everyday scent because you're going to runout more frequently.

i have around 2-$300 in cologne on a 1-2 year basis and most of it is from gifts or justs extra money i had around.


most people think that you have to get the most expensive brand around, which is not true. and some people think you have to buy the biggest bottle each brandmakes, which also isnt true.

sorry for the cologne rant

This man knows his stuff. My dad had some, Royal Water I think? Anyways, smelled amazing and the smell was still on my shirt like 2 weeks after I wore it.

Creed & Bond are my favorite brands (Joe Malone is also nice). I really want to get the New Orleans Bond No. 9 and Love In Black by Creed.I'm also loving Lola by Marc Jacobs.

And a man who's smelling good =

I never spend any money on cologne..my aunt cops for my uncle and always gets me an extra one, keeping my rotation intact. Love her.

 

[youngcurse]

I just brought that YSL (Black top) for 77 bucks. My favorite cologne right now is Higher Dior. For dudes who think cologne is to expensive trust me you willbook way more chicks.

[lunatic 809]

I use CK Eternity & Jean Paul Gaultier.. I hear The victoria secret cologne for men is really good...

But OP I suggest you try out Curve.. it's really affordable and supposedly girls love it.
