There is no one-size-fits-all perfume. It really depends. You should go and try to find _yours_, which will suit you and which you’d like. The one you’d like to stick to at least for a while and get used to. If you’re trying to find a gift - never _ever_ pick a parfumerie unless you were given specific requests. If it’s for your own usage - go out and just try. What would smell amazing for one person might be horrible for another.

Also, it may depend on weather (and geography). Those used during winter might differ quite a bit from those used during slightly warmer times and locations.

Just don’t be that armani aqua blue guy and you’ll be fine.

Consider YSL or Givenchy – they are not too overused, relatively fresh and reasonably conservative (in a good way) to have a broader range of possible “fit profiles”. Especially YSL.

Le Labo, Santal, Byredo and Malin + Goetz are a really nice and generally can be light for new wearers. Also can definitely wear them all day. Deodorant is often too aggressive

Cologne

funnylike

"Cologne" indicates only the fragrance (perfume oil) concentration.

Labeling fragrances as masculine or feminine is an artificial marketing concept. Similarly to the idea that fragrances should be applied on skin - it's actually not recommended to apply fragrances on skin due to potentially harmful chemicals.

You have to go to Sephora or a department store and smell various scents. No way around it. You might like citrusy, woody, spicy, fresh, etc etc scents. There are so many varieties. Is this for you or a gift? If for you, you also have to try it on yourself because often enough, something will smell one way while in a bottle and another way on you after a minute, after an hour, after 3 hours. You can ask for samples at the department store.

Cuz I am not included in that bowl and I didn’t know there was “that” bowl. By the looks of it people in that bowl are not as responsive as those that are in here so I think I asked the right group. Chill bruv!

Since this is a confession bowl here’s my confession - i never bought my own cologne. Since time immemorial i’ve only worn what people gave me as a gift. Happy now A2?

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!
