Cologne and Perfumes

[Hoovie]

In other thread I read that a female poster considered a male wearing cologne as a huge turn on and even percieved as coming on to her.

It made me wonder how others felt about it and perhaps more importantly if I, as a married man, should be wearing the stuff....

Soooo.... tell me do you wear it ? If yes, why? If no, why not?

Perfumes and Colognes... should we wear them??

Nope. I don't wear men's cologne. I think the reason why is pretty obvious. :)

Stop being difficult! :smack Just answer the poll!!

[Sister Alvear]

I think it is becoming to the christian to be clean and smell nice...You do not have to waste money on expensive perfumes. There are nice smelling perfumes that are not expensive....soap and water, toothpaste and perfume...are becoming to a christian.

[Sister Alvear]

I went to one church in the states and the pastor made the statement that men that were cologne had women problems...lol...

[Ron]

Yup, I wear this one called Quorum!

[LadyChocolate]

I love to smell great! I wear it for myself and myself only. I love it when my husband wears drakkar... Now, to say that the wearing of cologne is wrong.... then, I think someone has mucho problemos.....(like there's not enough real sin to preach about)

[Rev Dooley]

Armani Mani is the best! I also wear Emporio. Both are great and I like wearing them.
If someone has an issue with it, might I suggest that they just not wear fragrance? After all, if they find it to be such a turn on, then maybe there is an underlying problem of lust in their lives that should be dealt with.
Just a thought...

right, and when there is no cologne, there is will be something else someone has a problemo with!:tissue

[GodsBabyGirl]

I LOVE to wear perfumes or colognes....oils are my fave!

Dolce Gabana and Patti LaBelle are fave oils.

I love to smell good....And LC you're right...

But its just like these preachers who can't get over women wearing their skirts one inch too short...

Or wearing their hair down...

Once they comply with that another 'standard' is preached always on the women.

Cuz we dont wanna incite lust on the poor fellas...God forbid!

[Kay B]

I never heard anything about wearing or not wearing perfume,colonge etc until me moved here.
I loved the fragrance Ole Cassini but my chemistry doesn't like it. I like Sand & Sable I use it sparingly as its not available on the island. DH wears Stetson. :D

[Cindy]

I do not wear it myself and I get sick if I smell perfume or cologne on others. It is okay if there is a small wisp of either but a lot of people wear overpowering fragrances.

RevDooley, that is such good thinking! Frankly, it applies to many other things besides just cologne as well.......... ie. if wearing (necklaces, open toed shoes, colored hose, pants, etc., etc.,) bothers you, then don't wear them.

I've told before on here about a pastor I had who told us that a woman wearing a necklace was wrong because when a man looks at her with it on, he doesn't look at her face. He looks at the necklace and then his eyes wander down. I told him that it sounded to me like if a man feels that way, then he has a personal problem. It's not the woman's problem. It's his. He needs to get his mind out of the gutter. After all, when a man wears a great belt buckle, you don't hear women saying that their eyes just naturally wander south from there.

:hijacked Sorry. Carry on.

SH,
That's ridiculous. LOL So, when she walks through the mall every man present is making a pass at her? LOL! I'll stop and ask them next time I'm there.

"Hey, you really smell fine as wine. I think you are coming on to me. Am I right?" :ursofunny

I LOVE perfume and cologne. Calla by Isabell is my favorite, Opium, Ralph Lauren's Romance. Any man's cologne is awesome.

[LaGirl]

I view the world through smell. I wear perfume every day as part of my hygiene pracitices. I know people by their smell, and I prefer cologne on a man. I feel bad for people allergic to perfumes and colognes - I can't imagine.

Blessings, Rhoni

I wear:
Pleasures - light gardenia smell
Rapture - heavier musky smell
Gorgios - moderate musky smell
273 - Gorgios musk

I like for men:

Do you think they will let me join the WWF?

I love perfume, nothing too heavy or overpowering. Luckily my dad loves perfume too, and keeps all his girls supplied, because my favorites are a little out of my budget most of the time. :girlyluv

My current favorites are:

I wear after shave like Brut and Aqua Velva and no I don't wear it as a come on to women.
If I ever tried to come on to another women, my wife would shoot me anyways.

[Hoovie]

There is a sniffing committee that deals with prospective members. Just pray your deoderant fails and hope for the best!

[Scott Hutchinson]

My mother gave me some stuff called P.S. it was very good smelling.

[commonsense]

I alternate fragrances and usually have at least 3 on my dresser.
Currently using White Diamonds, Green Tea and one of the Liz Claiborne colognes.

My all time favorites are White Shoulders and Youth Dew. (that dates me) :wheelchair

[Falla39]

As I mentioned on another thread that my husband of almost 49 yrs. purchases
me a large bottle of Cashmere Mist by Donna Karin each year for either Mother's
Day, my birthday or Christmas. Depends on when it runs out! It is a light mist that
smells so nice and always draws compliments from everyone from our pastor to my
14 grandsons, 3 sons, 3 sons in law. That's not counting my 3 daughters, 3 daughters-
in-laws, granddaughters and my 3 sisters. If it makes all these say, 'UMMMM, you
smell good", no wonder my darling husband loves to purchase it for me. He likes it too!
That investment makes me feel nice, and lets others enjoy it too.

I also like for my husband to smell nice. The adult children keep him in nice colognes
for his birthday, Father's Day or Christmas. Right now he has Tommy, Domain and
Burberry's of London. All gifts from the children's families. We are so blessed.

We are not high maintainance people. We love God, family and each other.

I mustn't forget to mention again on this thread that my pastor is our son
in law and calls me "Momma".

I answer to all kinds of names. Momma, Mom, Nancy, Gran,
Maw-Maw, Grandma. A little grandson who will be 3 next month calls me Princess
Maw-Maw. One grandson who is 14 now, loves to say, "Grandma,
remember when I used to call you "Bam-Maw". I love it all!! Thank You,
dear Lord,. for my loved ones, friends and family, and good neighbors.

Thank You for being my Father and calling me to be Your daughter. I love you!

[jaxfam6]

Problem is I am completely sensitive to many scents and have to watch what I wear, my wife wears, my kids, and especially have to be careful around others. I can smell someones perfume or cologne and my airway shut off on me in a heart beat. Thing is most non-christian types see that as my problem and still continue to wear things that i can not take and still come to work with them on and seem to always want to come watch me turn blue.

I know how he feels, I love to buy my wife perfume. Especially ones I can tolerate and that smell good on her. She has a totally different taste but thankfully in the past 20 years she has learned that I can not take what she likes to wear and no longer argues with me about what I buy her.

LOL, I bet she takes it back and exchanges it for what she wants.:ursofunny

I have been around people who didn't like to used fragrances.

Lets just say I didn't stay around them for very long.

[jaxfam6]

LOL, I bet she takes it back and exchanges it for what she wants.:ursofunny

Not on your life. I would know instantly. Having a very sensitive sniffer can be both a blessing and a curse.
Not that it would really matter if she did as long as it was something that didn't cause me to go into respiratory distress.

Seriously people think I am out of my mind when I tell them that some colognes and perfumes can cause me problems, until they actually see me start gasping for air. Can't do nail polish remover either. That stuff can kill a horse. My face turns red my heart starts racing and then I stop being able to get oxygen. Some flowers do the same thing to me.

Good point Sister, Colognes and perfumes do not cover up the lack of good ole soap and water.

A lady asked me what fragrance I was wearing, I said, "Obsession for Men", she said, "It's working". My wife bought me some Burberry and Cool Water. LOL

I never wear perfume. It gives me a headache and makes me cough. The cologne my husband wears doesn't bother me, though.

lololol! Oh Lagirl...Obsession queen...where are u?! u reading this...take a GOOD long look! :laffatu

[SavedLou]

i wear it daily (perfume..not cologne) and i change scents so often. for years it was clinique happy then happy heart. then victoria's secret pink, very sexy, very sexy 2, and i recently bought thier "little sexy things"..such a stupid name but i like the scent. right now i also like the velvet tuberose body splash from bath and body works. anything light and feminine. i don't do that heavy stuff. perfume/cologne is just part of hygiene. like someone's soap or shampoo smelling good. if it is causing someone to lust then they have much bigger problems than that anyway.

[SavedLou]

oh i forgot a funny story. one time my best friend was getting ready for church and saw the bottle of ralph lauren romance on the counter. she quickly sprayed herself like 5times before realizing it was her dad's romance for men. she tried to mask it with perfume but everyone at church was like "are u wearing cologne?" too funny.

Yes, you as a married man should wear cologne because I'm sure your wife likes it.

To me, it is dumb to think someone is coming on to someone because of having on cologne. I love to smell my husband when he has on cologne and it has nothing to do with being turned on.

I wear perfume every day because I like it and I don't feel completely dressed without it. It's somewhat like forgetting to wear my watch when I forget to put on perfume. :bliss

[MrsMcD]

I do think it's dumb for someone to think a man, any man, is coming on to you just because he is wearing cologne. I'd like to see the post on that, for starters. lol

I don't agree with your last statement, though. :D I do like to smell cologne on MY husband because it does turn me on, totally. Scents are intoxicating, to say the least.

Someone does have a lust problem if ANY man turns them on because of the cologne. I can smell a man's cologne and think it smells nice, but it's a different story when MY man is wearing it! Woof! :bliss

[RandyWayne]

oh gag! lol! i remember having to spray this for customers when i worked at a department store. i know...to each his own but randy i need to submit YOU to "what not to wear-scents division" :laffatu

It's a good thing you aren't wearing that Brut as a come on to women 'cause it wouldn't work!! LOL!

My favorite cologne is Lagerfeld. It smells very manly. The wife likes it too. In fact, I think we can attribute at least one of our children to wearing Lagerfeld! Hehehehehehe!

Now that it's hot outside I switched to my summer fragrance - Paradise by Alfred Sung. Real light, clean smelling............I can actually smell it since I haven't been wearing it for a while.

I think the bigger problem with colognes is that many people are allergic to them.

I don't really wear the ones I like because my husband isn't into it and I want to be sure he is happy with what he smells on me... Even when I am considering trying a new bodywash I ask my husband what he thinks of the smell before I buy it.

[Rico]

I can not stand the smell of flowery perfumes on my wife. Yuk! Also, if she wears anything that smells like a grandma I ain't into it. She likes Charlie and my grandma used to wear that stinkin stuff. Blech!

[Rico]

Here's a good one I like the smell of. It smells very manly and isn't overpowering like Jovan Musk can be.

I road a van and we could not wear any scents due to a couple of folks would get sick.

I love Estee' and my niece ask me what I was wearing this weekend because everytime she got her baby back he smelled nice. :)

[jaxfam6]

One thing people really need to know and understand about wearing this stuff. A little can go a long way. There is no need to bathe in it. Not everyone within a mile radius needs to smell you before you are on top of them.

many of them make it hard for me to breath. I have to be careful of what I wear and my wife. We go to the store to shop for them when NO ONE else is there so that we can look without everyone spraying something that could cause me a trip to the hospital.

[Sherri]

Right now Eddie is wearing Polo Black and I have Versace. I love them both!

[ForeverBlessed]

I wear Beautiful by Estee and Body by Victoria Secret... I sometimes wear Liz Claiborne.. (the triangle) that dates me back to the 80's... sometimes I just wear a body mist and lotion from Bath and Body works... I have several of those. I wear something everyday.. It just make me feel better.

On men, Lord have mercy... I love cologne on men... i like a good smellin' man. ;)

I hate sweet scents though... men or women's.

[rgcraig]

Has anyone seen that commercial where a really tacky looking girl (with a unibrow) has all these men following her around?

It's hilarious and it's because she smells like peanuts or whatever they are advertising.

I used to think I was weird because I love men's cologne and didn't really like women's cologne, until I realized that's probably the way they market it. I guess we are supposed to be attracted to men's cologne!!:heart

I got some Eckerd drug store brand after shave.Smells good too.

[Ron]

I wear Quorom After Shave & Cologne and imagine my surprise when I went to a Hospital for a consult and noticed a big sign on the door saying this is a fragrance free area.

A lot of places are going that way.

So glad you do Bro Scott.. :D I'm sure sister Hutchinson is glad you do too. :bliss

Sister Lisa you had a hot date oh you go girl.

[Rico]

LOL - that too. I go in spurts - sometimes I don't even think about it, but other times I do. This weekend was one of those times I do.

Well, Sister, maybe the Lord has Mr. Right just waiting in the wings for you. I've heard you can cook very well, are easy on the eyes (based on the pictures I've seen of you), and seem to be very even tempered. What else could a rich, distinguished, rich, learned, rich, good looking, rich, unattached, rich, Godly man want? :)

[ForeverBlessed]

Sister Lisa you had a hot date oh you go girl.

I wouldn't call it a hot date.. we are really just friends... but like my girls said "mom, he made a move on you!!" Then I got teased all night long... Lord, I was flustered. My face was beet red and his was too after my reaction. LOL

[Esther]

One thing people really need to know and understand about wearing this stuff. A little can go a long way. There is no need to bathe in it. Not everyone within a mile radius needs to smell you before you are on top of them.

My problem is that my chemistry can throw off most fragrances. I could bathe in it and 15 minutes later you wouldn't know I put anything on unless you saw me.

For instance, when I was 18 I sprayed on some Avon colonge and my best friends mother thought oh my she is going to smell way to strong. In less than 15 minutes she could not smell any colonge at all.

I usually buy the more expensive IF it will last on me. So I am really quite limited.

Summer time I like a lighter fragrance, personally.

[Rico]

My problem is that my chemistry can throw off most fragrances. I could bathe in it and 15 minutes later you wouldn't know I put anything on unless you saw me.

For instance, when I was 18 I sprayed on some Avon colonge and my best friends mother thought oh my she is going to smell way to strong. In less than 15 minutes she could not smell any colonge at all.

I usually buy the more expensive IF it will last on me. So I am really quite limited.

Hmmmm. Sounds like you might need to use more of a fragance oil, than eau de toilette or the parfum. I don't remember how it is they determine it, but the amount of oil in the fragrance determines what it's called.

many of them make it hard for me to breath. I have to be careful of what I wear and my wife. We go to the store to shop for them when NO ONE else is there so that we can look without everyone spraying something that could cause me a trip to the hospital.

I've never seen anyone have that sort of reaction to it, but I do know someone who gets sick from a lot of scents, so she made me a bit more sensitive to the issue. Some people just act like imbicilles who don't care, though....Of course you would know that more than I.

I had a roommate at one point in time who would literally bath in Amirage. She had the entire line because someone had given it to her as a gift. Our apartment would be filled with the scent of her bodywash, lotion, perfume and whatever else was given to her. I grew to not only loathe the smell of Amirage, but to literally get nauseated from the smell. After that if I found I was going to get in the elevator at work with someone who had that scent, I would wait for the next one or hold my breath the entire time. I absolutely hate Amirage!

So you have held your breath for long periods of time. That explains a lot! :toofunny

I have always liked wearing cologne. After reading this thread, I went into my bathroom to see how many I currently had on the shelf. Usually, I end up throwing them away after a few years, so I've tried to cut back on how many I have at one time.

I had eight bottles, but only three were summer (light) fragrances. My favorite summer colognes this year are Kenneth Cole, Burberry Weekend and Be Delicious Men.

Nope! It was an EXPRESS elevator that had it's first stop on the floor I worked on....the 34th. It's crazy that I miss taking an elevator in a city building...

You are referring to being dropped on my head as an infant when you speak of "explains a lot!" :tissue

[MawMaw]

I love colognes and perfumes! I love to smell nice!

My number one fragrance is called Beautiful. My husband buys me a large bottle every Christmas. :)

My number two is Red Door.

Both smell wonderful and I receive many compliments on both. :)

i always wear perfume. my son is 4 years old and wears cologne almost everyday! he asked for cologne for Christmas!!!!! he likes to smell good...lol

My 4 year old grandson is the same way. He likes to wear what his Dad wears. I think it's called Axe. He always wants me to hug him so I can smell it after his shower.

[Cindy]

I am with Jaxfam, I lose my breath and get severe headaches when around someone with cologne or perfume on. Am also that way with a lot of household sprays with chemicals in them. Air freshner's etc.

In other thread I read that a female poster considered a male wearing cologne as a huge turn on and even percieved as coming on to her.

It made me wonder how others felt about it and perhaps more importantly if I, as a married man, should be wearing the stuff....

Soooo.... tell me do you wear it ? If yes, why? If no, why not?

Perfumes and Colognes... should we wear them??

I don't wear the stuff because it reminds me of Jezebel. That kind of stuff is something that usually arouses the opposite sex.

What's wrong with Sister OW gettin a whiff of you smellin all nice and her wantin to smooch with ya because of it? Y'all are married. It would sure be a lot nicer than smellin each other's armpits while yer cuddlin, wouldn't it? :D Well? It's the truth, ain't it?

Well, I look at it like this. That kind of stinky stuff is used to cover bad odors up or to find them a hot date. I am not into any of it and it reminds me of how the world is with their perfumes and colognes. I have never been into it and never will.

I figured you were going to say this. It's so different posting with you than it was when I didn't know you. Now I can actually picture you saying the things you post, along with your facial expressions.

LOL!!!! That junk is too worldly for me. It's easier too because you know what I am like and know what I believe about things.

My son tends to be sensitive to household sprays. I have to make sure that he is not in the room whenever I use Febreeze.

For a few months last year we had a "young man" who stayed with us who I later found out had sprayed Febreeze on the back of my son's neck when I was not home and James was trying to leave the room when he was using it.... That boy should thank the Lord that he is alive today because I was about ready to seriously lose it on him when I found out...

Rico, there's only one cologne I like and I would not want Oneness Man to wear it because it is not his scent. His scent is not a reference to BO, but to how he smells when he gets out the shower and has put some fresh deodorant on. :gaga
