Cologne and Perfumes

In other thread I read that a female poster considered a male wearing cologne as a huge turn on and even percieved as coming on to her.

It made me wonder how others felt about it and perhaps more importantly if I, as a married man, should be wearing the stuff....

Soooo.... tell me do you wear it ? If yes, why? If no, why not?

Perfumes and Colognes... should we wear them??

Nope. I don't wear men's cologne. I think the reason why is pretty obvious.

Re: Cologne and Perfumes

I think it is becoming to the christian to be clean and smell nice...You do not have to waste money on expensive perfumes. There are nice smelling perfumes that are not expensive....soap and water, toothpaste and perfume...are becoming to a christian.

Good point Sister, Colognes and perfumes do not cover up the lack of good ole soap and water.

A lady asked me what fragrance I was wearing, I said, "Obsession for Men", she said, "It's working". My wife bought me some Burberry and Cool Water. LOL

Re: Cologne and Perfumes

I never wear perfume. It gives me a headache and makes me cough. The cologne my husband wears doesn't bother me, though.
