Cologne?

Do you wear it?

Love it? Hate it? Scents you've tried and liked? Scents to stay away from. Were there any that smelled nice pre-t that changed into something yuck afterward? Anything that smelled yuck before T, but smells lovely now?

I'm almost embarassed to say that I love: I am King, and Roca 9 1X. I've tried all the super popular smells though and they just turn to something barfy when they hit my skin.

Anything that someone can smell when they don't have their face buried in my neck is a major turn off. Scent to me is a personal thing and I don't like the thought of "inhaling" other people from ten feet away.

I am female but I love the smell of Lagerfeld on men.

I have a lot of allergies to perfumes where my eyes will start to water. I used to use Ed Hardy for men (cause I love being a douchebag) until the bottle fell because SOMEBODY used it and put it on the wrong shelf so when the door closed the bottle fell. I couldn't use the bathroom for two weeks.

I go natural or on occasion use an Old Spice scented deodorant.

I consider myself an MTF, but when I am in male mode to hide my true identity I use colognes that I think work perfectly.  The ones I use that don't come off to strongly (only a hint will do) is Abercrombie Fierce, the Adidas body cologne, and this Armani one (it is the heavier one rather the lighter one they offer).  The key may be is to use it sparingly.  Another thing that I found, is the position of the body that the cologne is applied to.  If I want to appear like the male I am physically, I shoot a shot of cologne between the chest and the neck, and then one at the small of my back.  Usually, I am two feet away from the bottle.  2 hits of cologne usually does the job right for maleness. Also, apply the cologne beneath your shirt.  This, in my own objective opinion, lets the cologne seeps out of your clothes, and provides for better endurance of your smell so you don't have to keep on applying the cologne.  I hope these tips provide a better, sexier male fragrance :)

PS: For me, I am hoping to not use these tips that much again... But, was hoping to help you out :)

Nope, didn't really care for it as female and I don't now. I try not to smell bad though, most don't appreciate my sweat. Deoderant, preferably with no scent (even if I know it only exists in theory.)

I wear it. I use a single sparing spray or daub to the bare chest, before any clothing is worn. It lets the skin chemistry do its thing and for the most part only hints of it waft out when I move. I've always favoured scents that tend to get classified as "male" (woodsy, musky, citrusy). Mind you, I'm kind of a foo-foo metrosexual.

Nope, I don't wear it.  Personally I can't stand perfume or cologne.  I've never smelled one I thought smelled good, and I have respiratory issues so it makes me choke.  Unscented deoderant for me, too.

I use Hollister Jake.  They spray all their clothes with it and after I bought a hoody there I had to go back and buy the cologne   :)

I have to admit I LOVE the smell of Axe Kilo, bu I won't wear it because I don't want to smell like a middle school kid.   :-\  I use the bodywash, though.  Before sort of coming out to myself (when I was still in my "try to be girly" stage) I was really into Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab which makes natural, I think vegan perfume oils.  I've got several hundred dollars worth of oils in my room, most of which I can't wear anymore because they're a bit girly (although nothing flowery or anything).  There's one scent though that has a nice musky leather scent that I think is very manly and I love their Catholic incense scented oil which I think is pretty unisex.  I might start trying some of their other scents that are recommended for men.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
Why bounce around to the same damn song?

I just wash with Axe Kilo, and use their hair styling paste sometimes. I'm dubious about actual cologne just because I'm not on T so I don't think my skin chemistry reacts with it properly.

I wash with AXE products and use their hair products and I am trying out the new Twist deodorant. I usually use AXE clix deodorant. I love cologne. I have been using CO Bigelow Elixir Black since I found it. It smelled amazing pre-T and smells even better now.
Call me a cheat but I make my own fate.

I have several different kinds of colognes I wear depending on what I wanna smell like. :P I have no idea what any of them are named. I don't get the uber expensive brands so yeah...

I wear Axe Dark Temptation body spray and deodorant. I personally like the smell and get compliment all the time..

*Walks past a group of girls in the hall* "Mmmmm he smells good." or "Omg he smells good and is hot!" "That's a girl" /killjoy

But seriously even one of my male friends (straight btw) said something one day "Damn that cologne smells good!"

Love it. I wear whatever smells good to me. I love ed hardy, but right now I have some cheap stuff from the dollar store that's supposed to smell like some pricey cologne...I don't really care as long as I like the smell.

I used to wear CK Be, I believe, the black one, way back before &it smelled rly good on me. But I haven't been able to afford it since. Lately, I've been wearing Curve Wave &haven't gotten any complaints.
:]

When im in between buying new cologne, I wear axe since its wayy cheaper. I've tried em all.
I personally like having someone smell me when I walk by, not just by hugging me. I want to smell good, but not overpowering. So I like strong scents, and to me, axe fades quickly. I have to reapply it throughout the day. I want something that I can just spray once &it lasts forever lol.

Im thinking about trying something from Hollister, cause everytime I walk in there it smells amazing.
