GUYS WHO WEAR COLOGNE ARE FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS

it is quite a visual masterpiece, although it does tend to imply that tom ford's signature fragrance has notes of spunk, sweat, santorum.

hetero version

tom ford is pretty lame though

nothing personal, cutty!

myself, i use calendula deodorant, that pink clubman talcum powder, and sometimes royal lyme aftershave. if i'm going to wear an actual fragrance, i'll wear maybe a musk, and sparingly.

i quit smoking ten days ago and had something weird happen to me last night at environ bar mitzvah -- my sense of smell suddenly came back on line and was humming along at x10 power. the whole night i was smelling things i hadn't noticed in years, like an amputee restored.

LOL @ douche chill!

what a bunch of fuckin hippies on this board.

Maybe Noize Board wouldn't be a rolling depository of bad dates stories and towga tales if you guys manned up and realized most girls would rather go out with a dude who smells good than someone who stinks out of principle.

not so much bad stories anymore. its mostly chicks making plans now.

I AM GOING TO PUT SOME COLOGNE ON NOW BEFORE WORK WHY BECAUSE I ARE DOUCHEBAG ALSO PUBSMELL

A little dab'll do ya.

Was there lots of cologne reek at Cake Shop, or does QxBxRx draw the sweaty gays?

IF YOU PUT A DROP OF VANILLA ON YR NECK U WILL SMELL LIKE A COOKIE ALL DAY

if you spray your clothes with febreeze, does it actually make them smell less, or does it just make them smell like febreeze? i've been wondering about this for a long time.

Do not want cooky.

the clothes will smell like febreeze, which stinks. imho.

ah, that is what i expected :(

i guess i need to take a bunch of stuff to the dry cleaner this week.

It gets smoke out ok.

What I really need to know is whether dry cleaning ACTUALLY removes skin oils and shed cells that might be carrying bacteria. Washing does it with detergent & agitation, but dry cleaning involves neither of those. Otherwise I'll just hand-wash the bulk of my dry-cleanables.

i avoid reeking like a douchebag by spraying into the hallway and then strutting through the perfume mist like a runway model

this is tough to confess. i HATE cologne. but i own some sort of? one time going to academy i stopped at http://www.cbihateperfume.com/CBperfumeindex.html
and got a small container of moist earth. smells like the forest!

dry cleaning seems like a crock. i hand wash what i can, but you can't really handwash a suit jacket, yknow?

Br1tta says she dry cleaned a blouse she bought that had BO and it had BO after :(

I know, labs. Thinking I might gently soak & rub the cuffs and collars of suit jackets in a mild Woolite sl'n and then just take to dry cleaner to be pressed/steamed? Ugh work I do not need.

Yeah, Jon, that's what I was worried about, I have had same thing happen. Maybe quality of cleaning job varies by establishment, though? Quality of pressing and presentation sure does.

the drycleaners on my street are so expensive. at least $5 an item. so i haven't gotten anything drycleaned in months and months. do you know of a cheaper place in prospect height l? i have a garment steamer but it does nothing for the smell.

Surely Lauren or Steve Shasta will come by with some sensible advice.

I used to go to the nice one on corner of Vanderbilt and Park. Not cheap. Places along Washington Ave were cheaper but also the work was highly questionable, still smelled, badly pressed, sleeves not stuffed with tissue for storage, etc.

i dontr buy dry cleaning....i think the careful handwash/soak is the way to go...

course if some of us gave up certain habits, it'd help on that end...

i like some of the chris brosius stuff, but i think he may just be a dick, which has held me back from buying a bottle of something that smells like an old english library, whiskey, and tobacco...my ladyfriend has some of his things that i thinkk are subtle and decent..

that said i passed older couple on my walk home this am and littereally gagged due to the cloud of smell about them...

i kinda like when people wear distinct or offbeat fragrances; in the summer my boyfriend wears a fragrance by demeter that smells of fresh-cut grass.

the only designer fragrance i find remotely appealing is armani code, but generally i tend to think smelling clean >>> smelling pretty

when i was making scented candles, i would sometimes get off work and people would ask me what scent i was wearing. I AM WEARING SMELLY WAX, PPL.

drycleaning is a necessary evil for me as i have no desire to attempt to handwash and dry wool, silk, or finicky vintage fabrics. i'd rather spend the money than risk ruining things.

I need to quit smoking people.

i handwash silk, cashmere and acrylic all the time with cold water and woolite. wool is a pain though. heavy sweaters and suits with linings i would not attempt to do at home.

as im hosting easter ina few weeks, i need to do something about how my apt/office now just smells of a winter of food, sloth, and cigarettes...and since i have to run over to downtown w.berg im sincerely thinking about some c brosius home spray...

and opening all the windows before i leave

yeah..coats and goodamned suits require this crap called drycleaning

armani code

i use this when i do use cologne

and yeah its the spray in the air/walk thru technique that keeps you from reeking

i think its called armani code black

Isn't perfume supposed to be bad for clothing? I don't walk through it for that reason, also b/c it's supposed to be activated/enhanced by yr body temp and on my hair is not the place for that. Dab on wrists/in pits.

I wash heavy sweaters at home and dry on a rack. Have wanted some of those flat drying screens to block things to shape on but I can't store any more stuff. Maybe next apartment.

i walk thru it after drying off from shower, before putting on clothes
and the problem w/ cologne generally is too many people are concerned w/ activating/enhancing it and it ends up smelling strong and really very gross

So it couldn't just be that they're wearing too much? Good to know.

theres that too

most guys who would be in to that dont need it

I've had a bunch of the Demeter scents but the prob is that they're colognes, suspended in alcohol and with not much scent compound in them. Wear off after like an hour, which when I'm getting ready for a 12-hour day isn't really enough.

most guys who would be in to that dont need itwould be better off actually wearing deodorant
