Fat is a type of crazy Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 3 hours ago, Baht Simpson said: I ran out of cologne recently and I'm looking for something new. I was toying with another bottle of Eternity For Men, which I like, but when trying a tester at our local Robinsons it doesn't seem quite the same anymore and they wanted BHT 4,500 for it. I'm looking for something for the day, summery and fresh, possibly aquatic tones or beachy. Any recommendation for a good cologne or EDT around BHT 2,000 or less available here? I’ve never worn aftershave or colognes or whatever. Not my thing. Eternity for men 100 ml edt is $35 in Australia or 780 baht at the store below. Not sure if that helps but they seem to ship overseas for some products. If they can sell it at that price there must be others. . https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/52548/calvin-klein-eternity-for-men-eau-de-toilette-spray-100ml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was very, very young, and at boarding school, my roommate used Jade East. After that... You Gotta Be Kidding me... I just use soap, both for shaving, and for showering. I will admit though that I cannot find high-quality soap where I am. Maybe I should make my own, or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to import. Too much of a blind buy. Thanks anyway though. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason alcohol is used is because it dissipates quickly and projects the scent. I'm not familiar with Jade East but perhaps your boarding school encounter with a cheap scent coloured your opinion on them adversely. I use soap for shaving and soap or shower gel for showering.

bignok Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 38 minutes ago, Baht Simpson said: Someone who smells good is a "girly man" ? Lol Women seem to be more driven by scent while attraction for men was driven by what they saw. That's really no surprise because men are naturally attracted to the shape, body proportions, skin and face of a woman. However, women rate a man's body smell as most important when choosing a potential partner. A majority of the male population do not wear a fragrance. Why would you want to spend $50-$100 on a bottle of perfume? Does it make any difference? Yes, it does. https://www.realmenrealstyle.com/women-desire-mens-scent/#:~:text=Women seem to be more,when choosing a potential partner. Try it bignok. Women will adore you.

I very much enjoy essential oils of many kinds. There isn't one kind of perfume I can abide for long. No doubt that I am not unique in my distaste.

I remember 4711 and Blue Stratos. A lot of the older scents are still around but you have to be careful as often the formulations have changed and not for the better. Like Old Spice. 4711 was actually quite nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume it's the same for men's cologne and aftershave. Would you say that wearing perfume and cologne is becoming less in vogue among the 20s to 30s generation? Or, is it becoming more fashionable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, is it becoming more fashionable? I imagine it's certainly less fashionable with the advent of the myriad body lotions and sprays available these days. Mind you, Beyonce and Ariana Grande's fragrances don't do so bad. Every celebrity these days seems to have their own signature scent. Must be the younger crowd purchasing them. I know little of women's perfumes other than the odd unisex one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
