Husband loves to smell good. Pretty sure he has a daily cologne and then special occasion colognes.

Help settle an argument
What's the argument?

I quit after college. It's shocking to me than men wear it.

I do when I'm taking the wife out. She bought it for me, so I figure I oughta wear it when I'm trying to impress her. Seems to work, she always notices. Otherwise, no.

Nope. Never have. Never will

I like cologne, I just rarely wear it. I have some.
Our grandfathers wore it - and they'd fought a world war and started a family by the age we were still trying to get off our parents' insurance. We're not too good for it. We're not too masculine for it. But I don't object if someone sees no use for it.

You use cologne in your body wash.

I only wear cologne if my wife and I are going out at night... and I usually don't even then. But she loves the smell of cologne.
I have two.
Eternity Aqua and Ralph Lauren Chaps.. Old school. I haven't bought a bottle of cologne in 25+ years.

Yes, if you don't you probably smell like Body odor

I just started back and am amazed on the compliments I get. Currently using Creed, seems to work best with my natural smell, definitely get the most response from it.

I haven't used cologne since early college probably.
Posted on 10/14/25 at 10:52 am to WaydownSouth
I didn't even know that cologne was still a thing that people do regularly. It was big about 30 years ago but I don't wear it and I don't regularly smell anybody else wearing it. I don't know if there is a cologne that doesn't smell like shite. Doesn't seem to be.

Only when im getting dressed up for something. Now that im retired, that's very few and far between. Pretty much only when on vacation and going to a nice restaurant or event.

Irish Spring body wash, Dove shampoo/conditioner combo, old spice fresh scent deodorant.
Only things I ever use and I smell great.
Cologne is often obnoxious and a remnant from a time when bathing wasn't as frequent or thorough (or have the same soap options).
Now, I do love an incredibly light perfume on a woman. But barely noticeable is best.

They didn't shower/bathe as much, didn't have same deodorants we have, didn't have the same soaps we have, and didn't have the same laundry capabilites/frequency we have.
To each their own, but to say you use cologne to mask body odor is either disingenuous, you aren't a clean person, or you're Indian.
I just ask if you use it, please don't douse yourself. Sucks to be next to someone that smells like the inside of an Abercrombie and Fitch store.

Deodorant, and same scent body spray
ETA, I have a coworker who is allergic to deo on himself and he stinks sometimes. Hence the Body spray as I dont want to be that stinky guy

I use it, but only lightly. My wife likes it, and I like that she likes it. Not really much more complicated than that.
Creed Aventus is the one she likes on me the most, so that's what I use.

Not every day, but sometimes.

I do if I’m going on a date or something like that. Not every day. And I cant stand someone walking around the office every day lathered in cologne.
Posted on 10/14/25 at 11:12 am to WaydownSouth
i do most mornings after my shower.
just a light touch. couple of different scents depending on my mood and the weather.
The key is to
1. go light, you dont want to suffocate the people around you.
2. get some actual quality products, not some shite off the JC penny shelf
My wife really likes it, and i get compliments frequently from other ladies, which is always nice.
to each their own.
