When I do fumigate myself, I'd use this Bod stuff, Ble Surf iinm. I like it. But I think it's time to graduate to a "real" grown ups cologne. There's a bottle of a reddish (really pink) Polo scent kicking around the house. It sort of smells nice, but too damn tooty fruity. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about me.

Definitely avoid this https://twitter.com/krytenrd/status/107691107 … 9002240?lang=en 😉

On a more serious note, and IMHO, actually going out to try stuff with a second nose (spouse, close friend, sibling, parent) would probably help narrow it down.

A second visit to make a final selection should be considered as going "nose blind" is likely on first outing if lots of products are tested.

Funny. It was back in the 80s as I recall that a 20/20 expose explained pigs urine was used in some colognes. Lately some women smell like bo. And it's not necessarily as it seems. Some lady's fragrances just smell that way.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

I just watched the redux version for the first time the other day. Not bad, but a tad too long. Nice to see the extra footage regardless.

Besides all that being hideous and diabolical, please refrain from hijacking threads about pleasant stuff. Go start a thread about war mongering. Amd other assorted nasty matters.

I've never seen a thread that needed hijacking more than this one.

Sort of related, how do I tell someone they have bad breath without offending them? This is an older lady who used to live with her sister, but now lives alone, and has no one to tell her these things.

Is this too much voodoo?

You put a toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash in their mailbox. If they don't use it, they likely don't care what other people think.

Forgive me but I'm skeptical about anything related to snoop dog. I'm looking for something that smells refreshing, not funkadelic.

Someone please tell me why any thread needs hijacking. People find certain threads titillating, if even in a bad way. Then much malarkey ensues.

I will start a thread about cats soon. Lessee what all the he-men (actually she males) will say about it.

Heh, fun with this one I can have. Try Drakar Noir, NOT "Drakan" mind you.

Go cheap? Aqua Velva all the way!

This question is really terrible for this forum.. Like the demographic here probably isn't the best at making decisions on how they smell. A fair amount probably smell more like smoke than anything else. 😁

You managed to work in the word "titillating" unironically.
Then you upped it with "malarkey"

You win and don't even need a sweet fragrance to do so.
