I’m wondering what’s best to use for a date with a girl not used to colognes and the like (she probably doesn’t use anything of the sort I think)…
just the standard nero from the sprays?
1 spray of burberry london or intimately beckham as a cover?
Are you talking with pheros or without?
Spaceland is a really fun one for dates IMO
Its got a really soothing herbal scent/mix in it
Its great. Smells kinda like tea ![]()
You would love the “herby” smell, you canja lover, you. ![]()
Darn, tried to rep ya but I’ve given too many in the last 24 hours. Gotta go blow my trigger finger. LOL
Hey Phoenix! What if you look into and running unscented products and anything that’s neroli scented, the neroli scented stuff in the Instant Line isn’t cologne strength unless you add and request it to a product as we know. IMHO the neroli is a light scent that any nose can handle. Stick with the Neroli stuff and unscented stuff (Putatives, and other custom stuff).
I’ve never smelled neroli on a man.. but when first sprayed it always reminds me of a nice mens cologne. And then it dries down to be so mild, that I think you’d be good to go with just the neroli. Of course, if you don’t love the smell, you could try walking through a single burberry london mist.
With pheros of course!
After all I’m thinking while in the past she may not have been used to them, she may be now… anyway that’s it..
That’s probably best. I’m thinking of adding a dab of unscented a7 (covered by some instant shine or openness).
I would say the best would to be use mildly scented oil based products so that the smell is not too in the face. Also neroli sprays used an hour before meeting might be ok too.
I do like the neroli smell actually… so no problem there.
definatly cant go wrong with oil based products they are light and last lots longer
i dont know why im telling you this , i know you already know this
let us know what you decide to go with
Id say no cologne in the beginning just pheromones.Later you can see what colognes she likes.Some girls have very sensitive noses.I’v had a girl tell me that “scent” was at least 60% of what she liked
about a guy.
What would you say Bella
Just use a light touch and keep the cologne below conscious perception unless she gets really close.
Phoenix,
It’s no secret, many people who are sensitive and allergic, can be sent reeling, by odors… myself and hubs included.
She may have allergies or simply not be used to strong colognes, as you said…or doesn’t like them.
Get to know her better…feel her out and ask some questions about it…maybe say something about how you love the scent of jasmine on women..and see how she responds…she might reciprocate by revealing what she likes/doesn’t like…and why.
As we know, neroli is light on it’s own and covers easily… Burberry and Beckham are good choices.
Whether alcohol or oil based…go light…leaves, woods, citrus, florals or even powdery notes, if you like them…all compliment neroli…go light… let it dry down, well, before you meet her.
Wolf isn’t much of a cologne guy…but he loves my choice of scents…for me and him.
When I’m in the mood for something light …I love Creed’s Green Irish Tweed… not quite crisp but clean, woodsy, light but warmly masculine …and with a bit of depth…dries down soft and fades quickly.
Green Irish Tweed by Creed (1985) - Basenotes Fragrance Directory
I believe this fragrance was originally created for Cary Grant… ![]()
You can wear the neroli alone…or, wear nothing but the scent of your baaaad self…THAT would do it for me…

Thanks Bella and everyone else for all the suggestions.
I’ll probably use a mix of Instant Openness and Instant Honesty, both with the neroli scent of course, and no cologne for this time.
Much inspired by catlord17’s “blind date mix” once more, I used 2 sprays on Instant Female Magic on my wrists, left it to dry, covered with one spray instant openness on one wrist and one spray instant honesty on the other.
Plus 1 spray instant shine on my neck.
The date went quite well, and I got lots of IOI’s like smiling and hair twirling (lots of it)… so I guess it went well cause she wants to meet again already… ![]()
if we keep meeting I’ll ask her what she thinks of colognes etc like you said.. plus I think I’ll add a bit of -none to the mix I’ll be using to keep her from just thinking of me as a friend..
thanks to all for the suggestions..
Doesn’t sound like you have any worries, Phoenix. I don’t twirl my hair for friends… ![]()
Glad the date went well.
thanks! (thanks for the rep too!)
