re: Reaching the age where you wear "old man" cologne

There's an old baw who comes into our office a few times a wee and smells like some kind of industrial disinfectant. I dont know what the brand is but it ain't working for him.

I’m not trolling. If you don’t like fragrances, that’s cool.

I like fragrances, just like I like watches, and other interests. I also go with economical high performing fragrances and quartz watches. There are some great deals out there.

It has improved my quality of life. It is kind of like the essential oil craze that has hit over the past few years but more utilitarian. Bash away!

I have a variety of fragrances, from after shaves to edts and edps (approx 50) Scents are very subjective but I just want to smell “good.” Knowing when and where to wear certain fragrances can go along way.

For instance the aftershave you picked does not look like a summer wear, but in the fall/winter or maybe even a cool spring or summer evening it might be awesome.

For summer, the Gillette cool wave after shave is one of my go too. Pinaud citrus musk is also an option. Now once we get into some cooler weather in oct etc, then I might get into my pinaud clubman, pinaud special reserve and old spice.

Also, some fragrances are deemed “safe” and inoffensive but not likely to make a distinct impression and others are not as safe but can really appeal and stand out to certain audience. It is useful to have some of both in your rotation.

applying these principles can make the fragrance seem less out of place, thus make it feel more natural to wear and less like an “old man.”

Ok... that's just weird.

Nothing wrong with smelling nice. But that's just weird.

Dude, fragrances are weird. What one person likes another night hate and vice versa, it varies just like personalities.

By knowing the guidelines you increase the probability of getting compliments. It is a game. Once you start getting into it, you want to learn the rules so you can get good. By the way, I didn’t make that stuff up. Check out fragrantica.com to see thousands and thousands of others talk about fragrances in a similar manner.

Despite my pro-cologne stance...

I pretty much assume a man wearing cologne in the work place will stab me in the back and screw me over the first chance they get

When men were men, they wore cologne.

I think I'll go with our Nazi-killing, cigar smoking, cologne wearing grandfathers on this one.

Did some cologne wearing dude not respect your preferred pronouns or something?

They wore cologne to cover up their BO and cigar smoke.

No, but plenty of them assaulted my nose as I walked past Abercrombie and Fitch in the mall. Is your name Brad or Chad?

And then try to sell you a used car with the VIN number changed.
