I've always been into fragrances...probably 5-6 years. I love classics, such as Dolce and Gabbana pour homme, Acqua di Gio, Issey Miyake, Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce, etc.

I've also, within the last 3-4 years become interested in "niche" fragrances. They typically use better quality ingredients, and can often make more unique fragrances, because they're less mainstream. There is a company called "Creed" which makes excellent fragrances. I really like Silver Mountain Water, Millesime Imperial, and Green Irish Tweed from them. There's also other niche houses that I like a lot. Tom Ford Private Blends, Montale Parfum, Amouage, Serge Lutens. Niche brands are usually pretty expensive, though, so you need to know where to buy them cheap, or to just get samples of them.

I think colognes smell different on everyone.  I love the scent of "Royal Copenhagen" on my husband and always make sure he has some on hand.  He likes to try different kinds...but I always try to steer him back.   ;D  I always wore Shalimar up north but find it to heavy for Florida, so I am still looking.  Chanel #5 is divine on my daughter...doesn't work on me.  More expensive is not always better...

CK Be and Lacoste.  Got a good deal on two huge bottles, buy one get one free so that's been nice.

Anyways, I've heard some recent talk of this hippy-ish cologne Nemat Amber White (heard about it from a podcast) and I can't decide if it's worth getting, it's not the easiest to get.  Anyone wear or know of it?

I've gone through a ridiculous amount of colognes...

I currently wear Ralph Lauren Romance, and my next cologne will be Dolce and Gabbana "The One".

Since I love making lists, I'll just make a list of everything I can remember owning and I'll rank them.

Rankings based on a 5* scale

Ralph Lauren Romance ****1/2
- Great scent, not too strong, drops down a half a star because it wears off too fast for my liking, the scent is perfect though.

Burberry Weekend ***
- A weak citrus-like scent. I liked it at first, but got tired of it quickly. Kind of feminine, I think I bought it for the name when I was like 17, I would never wear it now.

Gucci Rush ****
- A woody, musky mix. I got this cologne after Burberry Weekend, and liked this one much more. The bottle is garbage though, it looked like an old walkman. I think it was a fairly mediocre cologne that's why it gets 4 stars, I just liked it a lot since I ended up not liking Weekend.

Versace Blue Jeans *
- Like Burberry Weekend on steroids. A feminine scent that can't be hidden, I could probably be smelled from a mile away.

Aramis *****
- Honestly tied with "The One" as the best cologne I've ever smelled. Aramis smelled awesome, if I get tired of the way "The One" smells after I get it, I think I'll only wear Aramis from now on.

Stetson by Coty ***
- I actually don't mind Stetson, sure it smells a little like gasoline mixed with baby powder, but those are two scents that are alright in my book. I like to wear it when I play basketball, it refuses to let me smell bad after I play, and it's so strong that nobody wants to guard me tightly. I would never wear on a date or anything like that though, I'd get laughed at.

Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren **
- Another cologne I wear when I play sports, I also use it as a room deodorizer... it gives me headaches. I like the scent, it's just way too overpowering.

Allure Homme Sport by Chanel ****1/2
- A cologne very comparable to Ralph Lauren Romance in every way. A perfect scent that wears off too quickly.

Acqua di Gio, Polo Black, Armani Code, Burberry. Smelling good definitely helps the cause!

Seriously, though, I've been rocking Lacoste.

You kidding me? How exactly are colognes metrosexual? Everyone wears them. You might have some other "issues" going on.
