Deodorant on before bed? Why? Who does that?
Haven't you got anything more mature to do than tell people you don't know and you're never going to meet that they smell?
[edit: also hey @aristocrat i'm interested in smelling like im "not straight" or whatever. can you recommend a good antiperspirant and maybe a few fragrances for me to check out? thanks brotendo~ (seriously though im genuinely curious)]
Steels is clearly not a Lynx man.
I can't. Because the person who is not religious doesn't see religion as an excuse for something. Some catholic priests abused some kids? Yes, but they are catholic. Some Muslims murdered some people at at concert, a beach promenade, at a gay club? Yes, but they are muslim. No, mate. Some pedos and some terrorists.Being religious is not an excuse for something. It is YOUR excuse for something.Also, park the whole, you can't make fun of someone for 'religious reasons'. You can make fun of anything someone chooses to do. For example, you can take the piss out of someone who chooses to go birdwatching, you can't take the piss out of someone for having a big nose. This whole, '<insert whatever type of person>...phobia' bs needs to die, and fast. Things need criticising so they fit into our societies.
We're talking hygeine, not "you smell nyah nyah nyah."I mean, don't you WANT to have good hygeine?
The tone
weewooweewoo "it's the tone police, open up" "i can make fun of your religion but my stench (and/or illiteracy) is off limits!"
who the **** are the arctic moneys is CO4!? we have another LI LIC problem
My suggestion is to figure out what season (humidity is a big factor) and occasion you'd want a fragrance for i.e. summer office. Check YouTube or Google for mens' summer office fragrances, make a list, then go on..https://www.fragrancenet.com/ni/boutiques/perfume-samples?f=1f!6Rand order some samples. You might know this, but fragrances have notes/ingredients (top, heart and base). Top notes are what you smell during the first 20min or so, heart notes after about an hour and the base notes for the next 5hrs or so. So, you HAVE TO wear it throughout the day to check if you like it.
All of this.But I also wanted to add that you also have to consider your own body chemistry, too. It's going to effect how any cologne or perfume will smell after a while. What smells good on one person doesn't mean it's going to smell good on another person. This is partly why it's so important to test out scents for a day before making a purchase. You don't want to spend $200+ on a bottle only to find out that it doesn't work well on you. Example - My mom smells great wearing White Diamonds. She's not a fan of the scent herself so she doesn't wear it often, but when she does, it smells sooooo good on her. But a coworker I used to work with also wore White Diamonds, and it literally smelled like vinegar on her. I didn't even realize she was wearing White Diamonds until she told me, and I had to gently break it to her that it didn't smell good on her because no one else would, lol. I helped her find something that did (Chanel No. 5), and it smelled amazing on her. More expensive than White Diamonds, but she was a lot happier with it.So, find something you enjoy smelling, but don't forget to test how that scent changes on you throughout the day before committing to a purchase. Try to get feedback from others. And DON'T make the mistake of putting too much on. The higher priced shit especially is powerful. You literally only need to lightly spritz or dab some on in some strategic places, and you'll be good.
True, which is why I always order a 1ml vial first to sample how it wears on my skin. Everyone's going apeshit over Dior Sauvage and when I tried it, it smelled extremely generic and somewhat piercingly artificial on me. Same with Creed Aventus, it smelled good on me but not $435 good. I'm trying not to overload with information, but it's fun to talk about so... the concentration is usually what makes a fragrance strong or weak. Generally, you're going to be dealing with these 3 (there are others but these are the most common):EDC (Eau de Cologne)EDT (Eau de Toilette)EDP (Eau do Parfum) I forget the exact numbers but typically, these refer to how much concentrated perfume oil is in the bottle. EDC has the least, EDC has more and EDP has the highest concentration. The concentration usually determines how strong the fragrance will be so... tread lightly when wearing an EDP to a place where you'll be sitting close to people for a while, or in a humid environment... even the most pleasing fragrance will end up becoming pungent and unbearable to those around you. This is the mistake many make, dude buys or is gifted, God forbid "Paco Rabanne's One Million" (a club fragrance) and decides to wear it everywhere, including work! Last one, which I do, ASK A WOMAN! Better yet, ask the opinion of a trusted female friend at work. It's a fun conversation starter and will really give you an idea of what people REALLY think about the fragrance you're wearing; whether you should change it, tone it down, wear more. etc.Enjoy
They have to find their own blends and concentrations.
I'm still perplexed as to why you posted this here, CO4...
