Getting the scent to be enjoyable but "add up" from an external perception standpoint, is really what im after. but me wearing Geir Ness although i like the smell. I have grown enough in my love for scents that the impression scents have on others excites me more than the affect the scent has on me. What prompted this thread though was that fact that although i loved the GIT and Gendarme i picture a more genetically "clean cut" individual using these effectively. I love GIT and Gendarme V and Geir is average yet versatile. My "holy trinity" of rotation right now is (in order of use): GIT, Gendarme V, and Geir Ness. Amazing scent just not for my state of mind or locale. Amazing stuff!! In the doldrums of 298 days a year of rain here in PA though, this made me a tad bit depressed for the effort. I wore Ungoro III at one point and loved it. The Carnal Flower and Hugh Parsons recommendations are exciting thoughts.Ī few impressions of scents to share as the thread has taken appreciable life. My thanks to you all! I think i will take the advice and maybe do a nordstroms run with the wife. I thought this post was dead yesterday and trolled the boards to find this cascade of comments. Let your nose find the scent in which you want to portray yourself to the world. Otherwise, I repeatedly give the advice to smell all the offerings for men from Guerlain, from Chanel, and from Hermès. One that has gotten recent favorable attention on the forum is Equipage by Hermès. Really, you've got to go out, smell, and smell until one strikes you so that you can't get it out of your mind even when you're not sniffing it. Dreadfully, you've got to sniff things yourself and see if the images they call into your mind fit into the puzzle pieces of the settings of your life. There are scents the seem to please our noses more in certain climates and settings, but the fundamental rule there is the "please our noses" part. Same with personality qualities like "don't sweat the small stuff." Those ideas don't have scent equivalents. I don't think scents correspond to body size and frame at all. I'm sympathetic to what you want to learn in your post, but in my many years of collecting and using fragrances I've found that your initial criteria-see what smells good-is the very best. computer engineering job)Ħ) Northeastern US (Pennsylvania) climate and lifestyleħ) Don't sweat the small stuff personality typeĪny more questions are welcome and thank you for taking the time to comment. So i ask, can someone make a recommendation based on the following profile for an everyday (signature) scent:Ģ) Hairy Index would be a 6 out of 10 (1 being babies butt, 10 being a sweater)ĥ) Typical family man lifestyle (8-10 hours work a day, catch up work on weekend, 2 kids, wife, etc. you could probably come up with something that works well with a person as opposed to asking whether something smells good and deriving solely and directly from that (considering other peoples impressions as well).
Based on body type, personality, build, etc. I started to think about body chemistry, build and frame got me wondering. I just would smell something in a store and pick it up if i liked it. And it’s equally annoying that everyone in the comment section seemed to just take the false information at face value, without taking a hot second to actually check out the survey and see that Queerty had it all wrong.I always looked at cologne/toiletries for face value. It takes about 5 seconds with a calculator to figure this out. That’s why each category (upper and lower body) work themselves out to 100% if you add up the numbers. It’s 3.13% of the population thinking the chest is the most IMPORTANT part of your body to shave, and 96.87% thinking it’s more important to shave/trim something else.
It’s not 3.13% of the population thinking you should shave your chest and then 96.87% thinking you should leave it natural. It wasn’t “Do you prefer your men trimmed or un-trimmed?” It was “WHICH PART DO YOU PREFER THAT THEY TRIM.” That’s why the percentages are all OH SO LOW. Wow, way for Queerty to COMPLETELY misrepresent that survey by Manhunt.
