If you just want to smell nice and not overbearing or trying to impress...Issey Miyake Pour Homme or Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue. Issey is probably my all time favorite, it's so different and refreshing. But it's pretty neutral.

If you want to smell more overbearing and 'sexy', Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man. It's a powerful Aventus clone. I consider Aventus the perfect 'man trying to be sexy' scent, and they nailed it. But it would get annoying smelling it all day in an office, IMO.

If you have specific tastes lemme know, Cremo also makes really nice cheap stuff. And also really bad cheap stuff :p.




Thanks for the tips! That's a rabbit hole I went down a few years ago as well, but I only reached the point where it all became too complicated and I ended up with a random cologne from a Rituals outlet... which I still quite like, but I could have saved myself a lot of research, lol. But if I ever want to get into that world again, I now have some decent points to start from!


Awesome! Any tips for application? Like one spray on the neck sort of thing? Looking to just overall be that guy that smells good all the time, but not overbearing


For strong ones, just neck and wrists.

For lighter ones, it's up to you. Doing the above won't last long. I'd just spray mist at a couple foot distance 3 or 4 times and let it fall on you.
