Cologne and Perfumes
 

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??

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

Yup, I wear this one called Quorum!

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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)

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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...

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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!

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

Wow, what island r u from, if u mind me asking?

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

South East AK (Hoonah) :D

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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.

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.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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:
Drakkar
Obsession
Aramis
Cool Water
Tommy Hilgifer

I hate: Old English

Re: Cologne and Perfumes

Do you think they will let me join the WWF?

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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:

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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!

Blessings,

Some people need a hobby...

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

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

Re: Cologne and Perfumes
 

:ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny I can see that BTW where have you been? I miss you and your wife.

Blessings, Rhoni
