Default Cologne

I did a quick search, the last thread I saw was from 2002 - thought I'd post an updated one.

Currently I'm going the cheap route :
Axe Touch Body Wash
Axe Essence Deodorant
Axe Essence Cologne Spray

Tossing up a few different idea's right now, but I want to change out what I wear.

Right now I'm looking at :

Acqua Di Gio by Armani Hair and Body Shampoo
Acqua Di Gio by Armani Deodorant Stick
Acqua Di Gio by Armani Cologne Spray


What does everyone else use?

Acqua Di Gio by Armani Cologne Spray

Good choice! Many of my girl friends approved it!

CK Romance is also good.

Cartier Declaration.

I like clean or citrus scents.

The spice ones make me puke. Reminds me of all of the kids in high school dousing themselves with Polo until everyone in class had a headache.

Thanks! Speaking with a few friends I've heard a lot of compliments about it - I figure it's worth a shot.

I hate mixing up smells - using one brand deodorant, another brand body wash, then another brand of cologne spray. I figured it'd be best to just get one single style and stick with it.

Haha - I remember those kids. It was real bad at my last job too - just walking through a certain department it was terrible.

The Acqua di Gio is excellent! I have been wearing this for years now, and it still is amazing how may compliments I get. I would recommend getting the after shave balm as well.

I might give that a shot. Speaking with some lady friends of mine, they highly recommended not wearing all the same stuff - Body Wash, Deodorant, Cologne Spray, and Shave Balm.

They specifically said that designer deodorants really aren't that good - so she recommended a non-scented deodorant, then just use the Ax Body Wash that I already have and the Acqua Di Gio Cologne Spray.

I've never used an after shave balm though, ever. I presume just do what Mccully Culkin did in Home Alone - drop some on your hands, then pat where you shaved?
