Hello! I’m new here to Phero Talk
I was wondering about Cologne and its effectiveness. Not that I’ll actually try it for the rest of my life instead of pheromones.
-
Do Colognes enhance social or dating situations/life?
-
Do ladies like it?
uhh they make you smell good so yea id recommend cologne. girls always tell me i smell good…and thats also usually a sign theyre into me! socially, smelling great always beats smelling bad.
The answer to both is: yes if you pick one that goes well with your body chemistry. And, of course, it’s always subject to the likes and dislikes of the people who will be smelling you. You may pick a scent that you like and which works well with your natural body chemistry, but if it contains a fragrance note that the ladies you’re spending time with don’t like, it won’t matter.
The right cologne can help illustrate your sense of style and suggest an opulent lifestyle. The wrong one, e.g., Old Spice, can say I’m clueless and that’s why I’m wearing my grandpa’s fragrance! Seriously, it’s no big shakes and cologne significance is along the lines of wearing nice designer shoes or a piece of jewelry. I have to say clothing, physical appearance, personality, tone of voice and lifestyle are far more important in creating attraction and socializing.
The cologne is a tiny component of one’s appearance and more of a finishing touch. Oddly, it is part of the first impression–people remember your scent–so you want to leave a positive memory.
Do “ladies” like it? Well, it depends on the “lady”: they’re all different. However I can say women tend to be more sensitive to scent than most men and also more appreciative of good cologne. Women often try to guess what cologne I’m wearing and they really beam when they’re right. Also gives them an excuse to smell your neck! Whatever you do, use in moderation. Nothing worse than being know as “the cologne guy.”
My best advise is to select a nice cologne you enjoy wearing. After all, you’ll have to smell it 24/7. Never use more than 2 sprays.
Old Spice isn’t so terrible - I know more than a couple of girls who love that smell.
It doesn’t work very well unless you are a pretty masculine kind of guy (I can’t get away with it)
don’t be so fast to diss the old spice 
but yes, it all depends on your body chemistry
Another Question, do Spray-Type Colognes work better or the " stick " kind?
By “stick” kind, do you mean deodorants/antiperspirants? I personally don’t consider them to be in the same class at all, but I’ve used both. Old Spice stick deodorant has served me well (at least, in the Pure Sport scent), but I like the scents that you can find in alcohol-based colognes better.
- Enhance in what way? No one likes a person that smells of BO or what ever else which is likely to alienate you, so certainly, if you smell pleasent then you are going to create and possitive atmosphere for everyone.
Even better if you’re lucky enough to be wearing something that people love the smell of. I’ve had people sniff me on the dance floor, saying i smell nice. I get it quite a lot with “joop” actually, including people, such as on the bus stop saying “who’s wearing joop”.
Yet certain colognes can be really strong (or just smell vile) and some people will not like it. It’s a partial hit-and-miss thing, though I’d rather someone said they disliked my (good) cologne than to say I smell of BO (I say good as I’ve bought a couple that are vile, honestly). Joop is rather strong but other than my two friends that always smell it on me I get only praises. Infact I had a gay guy come up to me asking what I was wearing once, funny times indeed.
- Of course they do. Joop has personnaly allowed me to get my foot into a conversation with random girls because ‘I smell nice’, Once with two hotties that litterally went up to me on a dance floor, sniffed me, went away and sniffed somewhere else, came back and sniffed me and said “yeh thats you”. Only to be ruined by my friend who decided to pull their top down.
I find that stick /roller based deoderants are really crappy. In comparison to their spray counter-parts, they are scent wise, a lot weaker that it’s pretty pointless even using, stick to sprays.
I’ve never seen ‘cologne’ in Stick /rollder form? only deoderant based product i see like that. If you were talking about deoderant as well within your original post, then the same thing applies but since deoderant seems to be less strong in scent, obviously it has less impact to no impact on others at all, other than preventing possible BO. Often a rather neutral, non aggressive smell.
