I was just wondering what products do ladies prefer on a guy ? Whats the smell that makes you turn your head towards the guy ? Only thing I use is deodorant and sometimes I put anything thats avaiable on, when going out on a date or something casual like that. Plz Help :) |

*laughs* Well, I'm not interested in guys, so I'm really not your target audience, but to me most perfumes meant for men don't smell very good-- too strong, or too musky, maybe? I dunno. I think it's better for people in general just to smell clean rather than smelling like some perfume or cologne. The scents I do like, if people have to wear something, are usually more food-based, like vanilla, coconut, or berries. Yup, I'm a fat chick, all right :-P . Just, whatever you do, don't wear anything strong and overpowering, no matter the gender. You can bother a lot of people that way. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

| Most girls seem to REALLY like the combo of black sandlewood oil and Vanilla Fields perfume I wear. |

I am utterly attracted to the "clean" scent on men, almost like freshly laundered clothing. I hate to admit it, but I used to work with a guy that smelled just PERFECT and I'd sniff him when he wasn't looking.  I asked him once and he said he used Tommy. ------------- |

I agree, I prefer my man to smell "clean", but my fave cologne on guys is Kenneth Cole "Black". I love that on my boyfriend! (which is probably why I bought it for him, lol) ..::vanessa::.. ------------- |

| It's so funny that you bring this up because just the other day I was talking to my mom and the subject of cologne came up when I was looking through one of her department store fliers and a few samples fell out. I commented that I think men's colognes are often over powering and not pleasant, which seems funny because I'm guessing guys where cologne in order to smell good, and no girlfriend wants to cozy up against a foul smelling boyfriend. I mean, when I buy my own perfume, I pick a scent that smells nice to me and that I like, so I think guys should do that (if they're in a relationship I mean), instead of just buying something they think is nice or something that's popular. I personally like the clean smell too, so I'd stick with anything with a light (and this can get sickening too) lemon smell, but don't pick something that smells like Lysol. I think that the Neutrogena Rainbath body wash smells great and herbal and it's a comforting refreshing smell that reminds me of someone I knew growing up. I only mention that because guys don't have to layer on cologne to smell good, if they just use nice scented bath products, they can skip the cologne. I love vanilla, but I don't know what I'd think of it on a guy, and I'd definitely recommend staying away from too sweet smells because that can get nauseating. Ralph Lauren Blue for women is nice, so maybe the men's version would be a good one to try. Sorry if this doesn't shed much light on what women like men to smell like, because that is entirely individual and there's no one right answer, but the best advice I can give you is to go easy on whatever you use, because cologne (and any fragrance) is meant to complement you and not be a substitute bath. |

I've loves so many scents on guys. Calvin Klein, Ralph Polo Ferrari Black, Axe, Old Spice, Hollister Cologne for Him, and more. My recent date to homecoming smelled awesome. It wasn't strong at all, and it had a nice clean scent to it, as well as a outdoorsy smell. Everytime I danced with him, I used it as a chance to smell him. =P ------------- |

You know what's funny? I've only once smelled a cologne on a man that I didn't like...usually they ALL smell great! That one I didn't like was because it smelled like bug spray...so if you find one that smells like pesticide, don't go for that one! (Several women in our workplace told him he smelled like bug spray, so it really was unmistakeable). On the other hand, I don't like the smell of most women's perfumes (being a woman). I'm very selective about which ones I would wear because so many just don't smell good to me. I guess they really do cater those things for the opposite sexes somehow! What was said above is also very true. Less is more. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Cologne has a lot more appeal to me too! I use a pretty cheap perfume from Hot Topic known as Fairy Dreams because it's not the light, flowery scent most female perfumes have. It's a more subtle scent. But most guys do just smell good. I've ever liked the smell of laundry detergent from clean clothes on guys. =P ------------- |
