Fragrances have been the staple of my personal style for a very long time. I consider it an important factor if you care about your general appearance and hygiene. Other than your visual presentation, what strikes people first when they meet you is how you smell, it hits them directly and can leave a crucial impression. Quality fragrances can get a bit pricey but they last fairly long and are well worth the money. For a price of a full AAA game you can get a great smelling fragrance which will last you months. Not to mention how nice it feels when people compliment you and say that you smell wonderful.

Currently I'm wearing Versace Dylan Blue as my signature daily scent and Versace Eros for nightlife situations. Both very affordable, very summer-friendly and both are compliment galore.

I have an aerosol thing from Bath and Body Works called Suede. It doesn't smell like suede but it doesn't smell like Axe so

Givenchy's Gentleman. I don't wear it throughout the day though, just when I'm going out with friends or something.

Freshly showered, clean clothes, and deodorant is enough to not smell at the office, etc.

My wife has bought me a fragrance as a gift about 5-6 years ago. It's still about half full.
I use roll-on anti-perspirant and that's it.

No I hate the smell of colognes and most perfumes. I just use a lot of deodorant.

Nothing more than the scent my antiperspirant has.

Our office has a pretty strict no-scent policy, which I'm okay with as many perfumes/colognes are overwhelming, almost acrid, even in small quantities.

Same. It's expensive but the reviews aren't lying - you will get a compliment every.single.day. I wear this on client sites and executive briefings. Be sure to buy from a reputable seller - lots of fakes out there.

Day to day when I'm working from home or in the office in my jeans? I unusually do a spritz of Tom Ford Black Orchid.

Polo Red I bought almost 3 years ago still has some juice left. Just a couple sprays I don't overdo it. Just joined Scentbird though, so I'll be trying some stuff out from them.

Yes and i've spent more money than i'd like to admit on a collection. I haven't been wearing any because i'm a lazy fuck + tired all the time (working full time + doing pre med pre reqs = fuckme)

My favorite for general use would be Prada L'Homme. I also enjoy Allure Homme Sport Extreme. I also don't overspray like a high schooler because some people (mostly women i've noticed) that spray way too fucking much. Generally for most colognes I go 1-2 sprays max

Tend to use dry colognes as the alcohol in the liquid ones can make me ready.

Currently using a fultob and roarke cedarwood accent. It's nice. The dry cologne being more subtle held as well

No, I can't stand it.

People who do leave a Donny Darko cologne trail behind them and I very much like to be able to taste what I eat and drink.

No. I used to back in the 90's and early 00's, but not often anymore.

No, totally unnecessary since I use antiperspirant and shower each morning. Most people who put on THE SMELLS overdo it and have no clue, and trail a cloud of overpowering stink wherever they go.

My personal favorite is egoiste . (Not the platinum version)

Evidently their advert was pretty famous in its time.

I dont like deodrants I prefer colognes. I use them pretty frequently. Used to have Burberry Brit for the common usage but I like Pace better after trying it.

Almost never. And i very much dislike when people try to hide their character flaws by using shitloads of fragrance.
It's can ruin a public space. And you might end up with a partner who's actual smell isn't even compatible.
It has NOTHING to do with hygiene.

But i do have a fragrance for special occasions. Hugo Boss (The Scent, i think).

Nope. Cologne smells bad.

We shouldn't smell you at all. All you need is a daily shower, some pit stick and clean clothes.

Imagine getting everyone that voted yes into a room together.

IMO deodorants shouldn't be used to smell good, they're better at their main purpose. I use scentless deodorant along with my fragrance.
why is there not an option for standard deodorant? Trice
That would be the middle option, good sir.

That's a pretty strong statement. Maybe you just haven't smelled good cologne or had the misfortune of smelling people who overdo it. Your fragrance/scent should be intimate and the projection like within your arms reach, not too intrusive.

Dior Fahrenheit for cold days.
Creed Aventus for warm days (though I've been buying a clone called Parfums Vintage Emperor Extrait which smells better than newer batches of Aventus).
Zara 9.0 when I want to grab something for any occasion/just doing casual stuff because it's inexpensive.

You're right. I haven't smelled good cologne because there isn't any.

I really like Duke Cannon's line of solid colognes.

Their marketing is a little cringey sometimes but they make good stuff. Soap too.

Respect. That's my father's signature scent since forever. Creed is too pricey for me but I'd like to try it sometime.

Dylan blue is really amazing. Might buy another one since mind's empty.

Absolutely. I don't see myself replacing it anytime soon. I think I've found the ''one''.

Check out Demeter if you want some strange scents like paperback and earthworm. Lol. I wear Nautica Voyage. So good. Used to wear Black by Kenneth Cole back in high school.

Nope, don't wear any. I also use unscented soap and antiperspirant. Strong scents tend to make me feel nauseous unfortunately.

Yes, I use a fragrance. I know it's somehow... not a good choice(?) according to some, but Davidoff Cool Water remains something that makes people tell me "I always smell so good". And I like it.
Sometimes I'll switch it up, but I like that one best.
Sometimes I'll only use shower gel and deodorant. It's good enough.

Jaguar Pace is insanely good value for money. So affordable yet such awesome performance and smell.
yup yup. I used burberry brit just tried pace and I was very impressed . I would def recommend it to someone wanting to try something cheap. Chanel, Yves etc are more expensive. Plus Pace also is familiar enough to ppl who like the "fresh" / "shower gel" smell.

Mix it up dependent upon my mood.

Prada L'homme is my favourite at the moment as I prefer clean smelling fragrances. I did prefer Prada Infusion d'homme for that as it worked better with my natural smell but can't buy that any more.

Dislike anything that is heavily musk focused.

Applied deodorant which is hidden under CLEAN clothes is my preferred smell in a closed environment.

I tend to use odorless cremes and deodarant, but I use 2 fragrances for social occasions like meetings or dates.
I use Bottega Veneta XV since this summer for meetings with friends
and Hugh Parsons King's Road for business meetings.

No. I wear scent free antiperspirant and I don't stink. Vanity isn't worth a migraine for myself or the people who don't have a choice in being around me.
