Aside from high-school dabbling (and the newlywed's effort to please the love of my life), I've never worn any scent at all...
...but this is a time of change. So, on a good review from a fellow member over at pherotruth.com, I came here to try some 'stinkum' (what my father used to call men's cologne).
The trouble is, my nose is so 'unrefined,' that my wife has pointed out [humorously] my lack of descriptive phraseology when it comes to scents. "Honey," she says, as she holds up her wrist, "what do you think of this?" And my reply (if I like it), would always be "smells...clean." Even when it's a sexy, spicy come-hither sort of mix. (I was actually disappointed when Fendi did not smell as good on her as it did on the sales girl...on whom it had an intriguingly 'bitter' aroma).
The only men's colognes I've ever tried, and liked were Lagerfeld, Old Spice, and Cool Water (a distant third). And all of them were long ago.
So, imagine my surprise when I opened the package from LPMP and tried a couple squirts of 'Ares' for men... at first, I wasn't quite sure about it... (as it dried, I kept sniffing at it to get a feel for it)... but I found myself liking it. And I don't mean just a little bit.
ASIDE: If you knew me, you would be laughing uproariously at this very out-of-character behaviour ("manly men" do not drive/walk around sniffing their wrists throughout the day... especially for the purpose of 'experiencing' the flavor and aroma of "perfume"... yet, oddly enough, "it takes a real man to wear a pink shirt.") /ASIDE
So, the first thing I did, was order more smelly stuff right away. A men's trial size collection; I'm putting my toe in the water, and starting with scents that are made for men (all of which were reviewed quite favorably by many of the ladies here). And...just to spice it up, a couple of trial sized unscented pheromone blends. I may not like it all, but I'll have a bit of fun.
Hopefully I'll be able to learn a bit along the way!
Now, I just need to pick out trial sized for my wife....
