just because fragrances are separated based upon gender doesn't mean one has to subscribe to that. don't let the media tell you what is acceptable for you to wear and what is not. just wear what smells nice to you and what you want to smell like. that should be all that influences your decision.

From my experience of smelling around, a lot of men's scents smell very similar and strong on the alcohol. I think that there's more diversity in the women's section imo.

Hope you know that.

No i didnt actually

im not a retail orientated person, i work in a restaurant and for me if i want something ill go in and quickly get it, i dont spend time looking round shops and looking at every single label...

Infact, as blonde as i may be, i didnt know the difference between 'aftershave' and 'cologne' until this thread.

It's like pairing wine with food, the flavors of some foods naturally go with certain wines.

and?
if a man wants to wear a fragrance marketed for women, does it really matter? he's not going to die.

Do you.

I personally couldn't wear scents intended for women, but more power to you!

You won't die, obviously, but it's like pairing a very fruity white wine with a grilled steak, the flavors don't naturally compliment one another and it might be unpleasant to other people.

Why so defensive Barb

He's not telling him he can't,he's just spilling some truth tea about certain scents and body odors. It's true .Men and Women give off different scents naturally. Not all perfume is bad for men.Again it just depends on the person.

I agree people should wear what they want.

Even though im a University student im ashamed to say im not joking

i genuinely didnt know what the difference was, i thought it was just a different way of saying 'smellys'

mind you, i live near a rough area of britain, most people around me smell like weed, sweat and week old pre *** so its not unusual for me to not know about colognes and aftershaves

MOST people, in all honesty, around me... dont actually buy cologne or aftershave, they get a cheap £2 can of Lynx or Nike deodorant and drown themselves in that
