Cologne is for guidos. Period.

I tried pheromones too. They don't work. At least not as advertised, i.e get every woman within distance eager to get laid. The perfect woman-luring scent hasn't been invented yet.

"Nothing wrong with a nice scent. Davidoff's Cool Water is my cologne of choice, and believe me, it has gotten more than a handful of compliments from females. "

I put on some Bulgari in preparation to taking the wife out to dinner, and never got out of the house.

"As a female I prefer the smell of the AXE body washes over the cologne."

My wife bought some for me. I like it. Very mild.

Unilever's Axe is now the best-selling body spray. According to Yahoo! Finance, the British-based company had sales of nearly $74.7 billion in 2005

They shove those numbers in there like they're really relevant to the story.

I doubt that “Axe” represents a very significant portion of those sales numbers. Unilever product lines include Dove soap, Lipton Tea, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Birdseye vegetables, Bertolli olive oil, Hellman’s mayonaisse, Knorr, Vaseline, Slim Fast, Wish-bone, etc.

That's like saying Bucky Dent had a great career as a home run hitter, since the Yankees have over 11,000 home runs in their franchise history.

Cologne sprayed directly on the body is too strong. If it has to be used at all, it should be as a nuance.

At the risk of introducing an unpleasant mental image, I will note that the proper way for a man to apply spray cologne is to remove his shirt, spritz a cloud of the product into the air, and walk through the cloud.

Don't forget to put on that shirt again.

I am 20 years into a "slowdown" plan my wife begged me to do , so she can get some rest.

The plan consists of me getting slowly bald and fat.I also tell her the same old stories and jokes she has heard for years and years.

So far it seems to be working.I would be afraid to try some "super-women attracting" cologne.Imagine what I would have to do to keep her off me,then?
