I thought maybe this topic might help new ftm who might not know anything about male colognes, or what's good and what's not.? I read some topics asking for help how to buy clothes in your new gender, and some suffering financially with all of the other expensive aspects of transitioning, and this is just another expense piled on, so maybe I can suggest a few things that might keep some from wasting precious money on things you wont like or want to use.. I also hate going into stores and browsing for this kind of stuff, I always feel pressured to get whatever the clerk shows me, and its so much more painless buying online, cheaper too..
Maybe you guys can add your advice and likes and dislikes below too.?
To start, I've never liked anything that comes boxed on the shelves of places like Walk mart etc., truth is people gave me that stuff for years, and I was too lazy to replace it..? But this summer I got serious, threw out all that old stuff, and just went looking for a couple of really awesome scents, something you never have to worry if others will like, and make you absolutely smell awesome every time.. I mean, for you FTM trying to pass its just one less thing to worry about, right..?
So I found out most of the ones made by top designers are really good, but I bought some Liz Claybourne, and hated it.. A lot of them don't last too long, and after a few hours are gone.? All of my old ones were like that, its so frustrating..
I came up with 3 I use exclusively now, and don't have to look anymore, these are freaking nectars from the Gods..! These all will last on you morning to night, the longest lasting colognes ive ever used.. They are all Jean Paul Gaultier, "JPG summer", "Gaultier2", and "JPG Kokorica"... each one has its use, "summer" is lighter, breezy, for just hanging out.. "gaultier2" Is my very favorite, it's Unisex, male or female, and is just awesome anywhere.. "kokrico" is really deep, kind of dark sexy goodness, its awesome for a special evening, a little more formal...
If I could only afford 1, Gaultier2 unisex all the way..! All cost about $40.
Anyway, there's not too many places here I can help and give experienced advice in, so I hope this helps someone..
