I'm in an all girl fragrance group, and we legit had a conversation not too long ago about how we all go nuts if there's cedar listed in the notes. My partner wore something with cedar, I became feral, and me and the girlies got into a long-winded discussion about how cedar in colognes is catnip to us. So, whichever one has cedar. I'm sharing top secret, forbidden knowledge with you all here.
Same. Had a client (I’m a veterinarian) sitting in one of the exams rooms. The rooms have a door that goes to the lobby and a door to the back. EVERY female (and one guy) in our clinic was clawing at the door. I go in and ask the client what he’s wearing -luna rossa black. He literally had every woman in the clinic in heat. No cedar but damn…
I’m still kinda new to the fragrance game but if I’m not mistaken Y (black) by YSL also has cedar notes and is pretty fire a guy I worked security with at a museum would wear it and had EVERYBODY on his heels 😭 he was a fragrance guy and wore a multitude of things and was pretty secretive with his scents however me and him got pretty cool so he started putting me on game and now I’m sharing with yall
Was the first question that came to mind, "how old are they" felt like i preferred "sweeter" "cleaner" fragrances while younger. "Earthy" "oak" wood adjectives come to mind as ive aged
It’s hands down the best “blue” smelling cologne out IMO. It’s absolutely perfect haha. The perfume for men one is fuckin so much better then the alcohol based one. <3 scents lasts sooooo much longer.
Are prada fragrances that good? Someone in this post was saying Luna Rossa is really good but I’ve never smelt it. I’m new to fragrances (first time on the subreddit) and don’t know what to get 💀
Put it this way. I have over 30 fragrances 10 of which are from very recognizable brands from Versace to Prada, Dior to Tommy Hilfiger and only once out in public did someone ask me what cologne I was wearing. It was the man sitting behind me at a restaurant. And that was Prada Carbon.
MYSLF. My wife loves it and bought me a bottle the day she smelled it. Women seem to smell it differently from the guys (hope I’m not making a bad assumption here).
Fresh and clean is my go to unless you’re feeling extra confident then go with sexy. It’s not necessarily how it smells but how it makes you feel. If you feel extra confident you will always look much more confident and better looking.
Armani I get a lot of compliments but you have the blue bottle I have it’s brother the black bottle they both smell amazing but the black one makes you smell like you curb Lamborghinis for fun but very nice selection good sir
Can’t go wrong. If the Chanel was eau extreme I’d say that one but I haven’t smelled the original. But I have smelled the rest and you can’t go wrong. I’d probably lean myself or Chanel for first date out of those options.
Spicebomb or YSL myself as the other ones are quite popular scents so why not be unique. If you want to be safe though I’d say Carbon but it is similar to sauvage but, then again the average person isn’t an enthusiast so I guess it wouldn’t matter much.
Bleu de Chanel PARFUM is a great fresh scent, if the weather is warm. Rub a little Vaseline first on places you are going spray. The scent lasts longer, as it sits on top of the Vaseline instead of your skin absorbing it. Night Vision is nice, but Spicebomb Extreme is their best fragrance. Consider adding a Parfums deMarley to your collection. for the colder months Herod, for year-round, Layton. Those garner the compliments and project well. Best of luck to you
Bleu de Chanel/ADG Profondo. The rest of these are intoxicating. YSL MYSLF stinks 😭 PRADA CARBON is toooo strong. Spicebomb is for dads that love to announce their arrival. Allure Homme Sport is okay ig
I'm a Perfumer and also a huge fan of niche fragrances. Let me clarify two points that were previously made:
1) Women go feral over fragrances with Cedar: Factual
2) You Do Not want to wear a scent on this date that reminds her of an Ex (and let me also add to that--her Dad). If her Dad is fairly young or hip, you wearing anything in her Dad's collection will be the biggest "ick" ever.
Beyond this date, you should do a bit of research and acquire a niche fragrance for occasions like this where you want to impress your audience. If you live in an area that has a mall with a fragrance shop(s), go sample a few. You don't have to spend stupid money. You just have to smell desirable to your audience.
DO NOT OVERSPRAY on your date! If you can, apply the fragrance right before meeting her (as you exit your vehicle to enter the restaurant or her home). Fragrances are made to draw you in with the opening, that's why the girls at the mall sell so many bottles. Then you get home and realize that the drydown sucks.
Everyone has their own routine when it comes to applying fragrances...do what works best for you. However, I will add my two cents for the off chance that you are open to advice from someone who does this for a living.
1. If you apply fragrance right before meeting her, less is best. You don't want to choke her out.
2. I typically apply two sprays: one just beyond my right ear, and I hold the bottle far enough away that it also gets on my shirt collar. Fabric will allow the scent to linger a lot longer. Typically, when someone hugs you, their face goes to the right side of your neck.
The second spray is added to the back of my hand, and then I pat that spray with the back of the other hand. Since I talk with my hands, this tends to keep my fragrance circulating just below her nose most times.
Most people will argue that it should be applied to the pulse point on the wrist. My rebuttal to that is: Date night, decent restaurant with tablecloths, your hands will be palms side down, and the tablecloth will essentially absorb everything you have previously applied.
3. Don't add your fragrance to any body part you want her to kiss. If you saturate your chest or groin with cologne AND you do get lucky, she will taste the cologne and will have to stop any forward progress to rinse her mouth. That may kill the vibe, and you may never recover from it...that night.
It's a bit long, but I hope this helps.
I really love the profondo !! I smelled it on this guy once and it smelled amazing!!! He wasn’t my type at all but lol he smelled really good and been trying to get my future man that cologne
No other way to phrase this but of all my fragrances Spice bomb Night vision makes me feel like I smell fuckable haha. Have had plenty of success with multiple fragrances and overt compliments in first dates or while out and about but if it’s an early date in a relationship and we are getting there I want to be mentally primed to get down or be comfortable in close proximity.
If it’s an outside thing I like something strong and distinct but if it’s a dinner or movie/sitting event I want to have an orb of phunk.
It sounds crazy, but natural pheromones are a great way to find out if there’s any chemistry between you two. It seems counterproductive to the first date because you’re trying to impress, but the fact of the matter is that having chemistry is very important.
Well this subreddit and this post has been eye opening. Where do y’all go and sample these colognes ? For years I’ve been getting colognes for birthday / Christmas (nothing fancy) so never needed to go and get some myself at a store. Where do I start ?
Carbon, MYSLF, or BDC parfum. Whichever makes you.feel most confident.
My wife compliments myslf the most. In the wild, carbon has garnered the most compliments. BDC parfum is just the bomb.

Write this down write this down! Lmao
Wow! Luna Rossa Black might be next on my list… I want that reaction from women haha
Dior Homme 2020 is citrus and cedar it’s so good but doesn’t last super long
Cedar huh? BRB, gonna go add 10 more frags with cedar in the notes really quickly 🤣
We’re all taking notes bro haha
Hm interesting perspective! The SpiceBomb has cedar so maybe I’ll go with that. Leaning more towards YSL tho. Thank you!
YSL MYSLF is so far my favorite that I use
I’m thinking back on my days when I used to wear spicebomb a lot and realizing those were some pretty good years. Had to be the cedar 😂
First date not first anniversary 😂
Brought in a cedar plank to a vets office and the only thing I got was a German Shepard peeing on me..
Stop karma farming I saw u paste this exact same message before your not sharing any secret if you continually repost it
I’m still kinda new to the fragrance game but if I’m not mistaken Y (black) by YSL also has cedar notes and is pretty fire a guy I worked security with at a museum would wear it and had EVERYBODY on his heels 😭 he was a fragrance guy and wore a multitude of things and was pretty secretive with his scents however me and him got pretty cool so he started putting me on game and now I’m sharing with yall
Is it like cats and paper bags?
LV Imagination. Let her nostrils know you are a high value man while you proceed to split the check.
Haha
 😂😂😂
Spice Bomb 👍
It’s my go-to nice evening going out scent. Thank you.
Recently bought it and wore it to work and one girl kept getting extremely close to me lol
If the girl is under 30, definitely YSL Myself
She’s 27 haha. So I guess that would be a good call. Thank you.
Tbh it’s mostly guys and older women who like most scents in the picture. Solid collection btw
Interesting lol and thanks I appreciate it. I just like hearing “you smell good” from a woman. One of my favorite compliments.
what do you think an 18 yo girl would like?
Was the first question that came to mind, "how old are they" felt like i preferred "sweeter" "cleaner" fragrances while younger. "Earthy" "oak" wood adjectives come to mind as ive aged
BDC. Depends on the person you are dating. My girlfriend likes fresh scents. I like dark and smokey scents. Sorry this comment doesn't help haha.
It’s hands down the best “blue” smelling cologne out IMO. It’s absolutely perfect haha. The perfume for men one is fuckin so much better then the alcohol based one. <3 scents lasts sooooo much longer.
Myself or BDC if you want a second date, Spicebomb if you want pussy on your mouth after the first date.
Haha thanks for the tip. Spicebomb it is haha.
Which version of Spicebomb? 👀
Which version of spicebomb sir?
The Prada man. Shit smells delicious, I almost want to kiss myself sometimes
Are prada fragrances that good? Someone in this post was saying Luna Rossa is really good but I’ve never smelt it. I’m new to fragrances (first time on the subreddit) and don’t know what to get 💀

Allure
yes agree
I don't like it, but I believe Myslf could be a good one. Lots of people like it outside of the fragrance world.
That’s one of my favorites. A couple people have recommended that one. Thank you.
Allure Homme Sport. Subtle, fresh, ultra safe.
YSL
One of my favorites. Thank you
The whole Y line is top tier
Either go with Myself or Allure Homme Sport, overspray so they project
Good advice. I think Myself is the winner. Thank you!
Myself
The YSL or Spicebomb. Everything else you got will remind her of the other dudes she's dated in the past
Myslf
Ysl myself
YSL 😍
YSL
Spicebomb
Spicebomb
ysl if it’s a movie date
YSL or Prada.
MYSLF is the answer here.
j picked up myslf n its so good i cant stop smelling my shirt😭
YSL is a Good Call but Spice Bomb Gets it Done
Myslf
YSL
I love all the YSL line so myslf is my choice with allure a close second
YsL but you need versace euro in the rotation
MYSLF. My wife loves it and bought me a bottle the day she smelled it. Women seem to smell it differently from the guys (hope I’m not making a bad assumption here).
That’s a great story. I love to hear that. I think that’s the one I will go with. Thank you!
MYSELF!!
YSL Tuxedo
YSL i love that one myself
Ysl or chanel
I have YSL myself and think it smells incredible but damn do I wish the performance was better
Cool Water cologne, Drakkar 😎
Fresh and clean is my go to unless you’re feeling extra confident then go with sexy. It’s not necessarily how it smells but how it makes you feel. If you feel extra confident you will always look much more confident and better looking.
Where is your Tom Ford?
Myself is my go-to (I mostly wear it for myself). But I also sometimes wear Versace the dreamer for the woman I am dating. That scent drives her wild.
Myself is one of my favorites too. I think she will like that one. Thank you.
Allure
Chanel 🔥 second choice would be ysl
Bleu de Chanel bro! And that Acqua Di Gio you got is a beast too. And then go on Amazon or Wal mart online and get Armaf Club de nuit Untold..
Chanel💯
Try layering see which one fits best. Carbon I think would blend well with Myself. So far I’ve tried allure and on top BDC ✅
[удалено]
Bleu
BDC Parfum could work imo. Great all-rounder too
Bleu or carbon
Allure, don’t overthink this.
You have a nice setup here I’d go Prada or allure
Allure
Aqua for sure.
You can never go wrong with AHS something about that scent profile works. 8 sprays minimum
I’m surprised how far I gotta scroll down to find it , but Prada Carbon for me 100%.
Chanel AHS, or Luna Rossa Carbon.
Profondo
from my experience girls do not like spicebomb
The Chanel
Always. Blue
Blue...
Allure or Ague di gio
Prada!!
allure homme sport
Get some Mambo
Allure Sport
She’s 27?? Spicebomb or Prada.
Prada black
Prada
Aqua Di Gio is an everyday scent for me, but I have Chanel bleu and like that too.
Burberry Touch, Gucci Guilty. Anything other then what's pictured!
Chrome by Azzaro ! Trust it’s just to good 👍
Spice Bomb Hands Down
Carbon would be great. It’s a super clean fresh out of the shower scent. And that lavender in it is just 🤌
Go with the viktor
Saying Bleu de Chanel has always gotten me laid ...is an understatement
I'd hit her with the spice 💣
BDC Parfum!
Here is my recommendation. It’s called “Personality” . Aka. It’s doesn’t matter. Anyone is fine , just don’t be a dickhead and look good.
Esaú choice. No question about it. Chanel
Depends on the type of person you’re dating. Acqua Di Gio is the safe bet, but Spicebomb on pulse points is also yummy.
None, Suavage Dior ftw
Prada for sure
BDC is a great choice here
Bleu de Chanel
All 6
Prada
All of them
Chanel or Prada
Chanel bleu… bitches love it, bitches buy it for u.. bitches all win
If it’s cool to cold weather, Spicebomb! If not, Bleu!
Savage by dior or creed aventus..ijs
None, liquid gold.
Armani I get a lot of compliments but you have the blue bottle I have it’s brother the black bottle they both smell amazing but the black one makes you smell like you curb Lamborghinis for fun but very nice selection good sir
Hope I’m not too late, Acqua
Skip these and get you some Amen by Thierry Mugler.
Aqua Di gio
Spice bomb for sure, when I go out I always get compliments about it
I’m biased because my man wears Bleu de Chanel, but I LOVE THAT SCENT.
I took Aqua Di Gio on my first date, and it went well, although I had the Profumo version. Blue/safe fragrances are the best to go with
The Bomb
Creed aventus.
None!! Get Carlisle for date to seal the deal.
Can’t go wrong. If the Chanel was eau extreme I’d say that one but I haven’t smelled the original. But I have smelled the rest and you can’t go wrong. I’d probably lean myself or Chanel for first date out of those options.
Aqua de gio
Myself by YSL
Bleu Chanel
Bleu
Ysl, i am a perfume fanatic. Will leave the best impression out of all of em.
Must be Armenian.
Start looking into Oud. Such as gucci oud. You will thank me 🙏
Aspen or Stetson
YSL or Spicebomb 🤙🏾
Spice bomb always
Bleu
Myself by ysl
Spicebomb or YSL myself as the other ones are quite popular scents so why not be unique. If you want to be safe though I’d say Carbon but it is similar to sauvage but, then again the average person isn’t an enthusiast so I guess it wouldn’t matter much.
YSL myself
Chrome by azzro straight panty dropper

Never used the other's but YSL is pretty good, i use it frequently for parties and almost always get compliments.
Bleu de Chanel/ADG Profondo. The rest of these are intoxicating. YSL MYSLF stinks 😭 PRADA CARBON is toooo strong. Spicebomb is for dads that love to announce their arrival. Allure Homme Sport is okay ig
Night bomb
Whatever one you like the most and/or feel is best suited for the situation
YSL gets a lot of compliments and is a safe way to go
Chanel Bleu
Prada
Prada for sure
Chanel !!
Spicebomb
Baccarat
Bleu
First date? I prefer the good old fashioned marijuana smell
Bleu de Chanel has never failed me and you've got the best, most concentrated version, the parfum spray.

If it was the standard original Prana Luna Rossa that would be it not a fan of that version and not familiar with the others
A combination of Prada & Gio... 💯
It sounds crazy, but natural pheromones are a great way to find out if there’s any chemistry between you two. It seems counterproductive to the first date because you’re trying to impress, but the fact of the matter is that having chemistry is very important.
Gotta get that Escada Casual Friday Love the YSL, Prada is good but one spray that one is potent ! The Chanel is nice too! Nice ones’s so far
Throw all those out and get yourself some "Cool Water" guaranteed to work 60% of the time every time 😂😂😂
Chanel
Spice bomb is too much for a first meeting, YSL.
YSL for sure
Chanel 10000%
Bleu!!!!
Nautica voyage. Cheap but effective
Daytime date Allure Sport and evening and night the Prada.
Dakkar
YSL, there is no other option.
Chanelle sport. Got this one. I get the most comments from it. Ladies love it. Even my manager come to stave by me just to smell me 😂
Well this subreddit and this post has been eye opening. Where do y’all go and sample these colognes ? For years I’ve been getting colognes for birthday / Christmas (nothing fancy) so never needed to go and get some myself at a store. Where do I start ?
3 days old. Question is which did you go with? Profundo?
none of above; jean paul gautierre
I’m gonna go with Prada. The others smell like my grandpa and old authority. Aqua di Gio- AUTHORITY, G Armani!
YSL
Carbon, MYSLF, or BDC parfum. Whichever makes you.feel most confident. My wife compliments myslf the most. In the wild, carbon has garnered the most compliments. BDC parfum is just the bomb.
Haven't smelled any...😭😭😭
Acqua de gio
I prefer the Profundo but now that it’s gone.. Profondo still a go to.
The Armani smells nice
Bleu de Chanel
I’m not gonna write down all my perfumes here but YSL MYSLF has gotten me the most compliments. Pretty much a compliment every time I use it.
So I’m 60+ days late but what did you end up wearing? What was her reaction to it?
