| Cologne is awesome and I'm somewhat of an aficionado. Cologne won't get you laid, but selecting the right scent for the right venue conveys class, value, and sophistication immensely helping your game.
How you choose cologne
1. Go to store, spray cologne on leaflets. Smell
2. Select a few you like
3. Spray your two favorites on your wrists. Leave store, after 15 minutes the cologne has mixed into your skin and is now smelling how it will when you where it out
4. Does it smell good on you? if Yes you found yourself a cologne.
When to wear what Colognes
If you choose a cologne that doesn't fit the venue or occasion, it will negatively affect your game, you either seem like your trying really hard or like you want to get in every girl in the rooms pants! Basically I have completed a fool proof guide to three basic categories of cologne
1. Sexy
You know a cologne is a sexy cologne when you smell it and your initial impression is " She would love smelling this when we are banging". Sexy cologne is the type of Cologne you wear out on a hot date. It can be effective for sarging in the right venue. Such as a fancy club or bar. However don't put this on to go to the bar where you ride mechanical bulls or go line dancing. Don't wear this Cologne if you are going to a concert. Sexy cologne is identified by its explicit and open sex appeal. It smells sexy, it makes you seem and feel sexy. If you show up to your 8 am meeting or class with this stuff on, people will think your sleezy. Sexy cologne should reflect a person who is sexy. It implies a feminine sensitivity and sexual progressiveness in the bedroom. Wearing sexy cologne is bold, and you better have a bold cocky-funny pick up style to wear this. Wearing cologne that doesn't reflect your personality negatively affects your game!
Recommended "Sexy" Colognes for all seasons:
Givenchy "Play": This is my number 1 cologne I own, it's just great. You put this stuff on and feel like you should be in a penthouse overlooking central park drinking wine with some baby in a silk robe. It's like that. It has subtley about it though; however this is deceptive because the scent is strong, but not loud. It isn't over bearing but smells strong enough for girls in your proximity to get a whiff without kissing your neck. This cologne is VERY VERY FEMININE
Givenchy "Play Intense": I like play so much, I got play intense. Intense doesn't have the fresh, fruity aroma of Play, but more a strong vanilla scent. It's not nearly as feminine as Play, but more masculine. It's a strong scent. A single squirt will fill the room. It isn't over-bearing though it just is a very loud smell, it's quite nice.

2. Classy. Classy cologne is the type of cologne that when you smell you think "I don't know if I'm sophisticated enough to wear this" Classy cologne smells like your Dad. It smells like the stock-brocker and the guy driving a BMW. It implies and reflects the successes of an accomplished Man. Classy cologne goes along with the personality of a gentlemen, it isn;t for a college student doing keg stands. Like I said your cologne should reflect who you are. You don't have to be a forty year old lawyer to wear this though. If you have a dinner with your gf's parents or maybe a family dinner party or holiday celebration classy cologne is great, sexy cologne is not!
John Varatos: Most of his lines are leathery and masculine
Burberry Brit for Men: Strong, very strong. One spray only.
3. Pleasant. Pleasant cologne is something you can wear on any day or any occasion. It isn't bold or loud, sexy or classy, but just pleasant. You smell nice, people take note: end of story. I wear this type of cologne to classes and lunch dates. Pleasant cologne is very useful if you don't want to convey interest. If your going on a first date and you want to be challenging and hard to get a subtle cologne won't give her the impression you got plans for dessert. The best way to know if a cologne is pleasent or not is if your first thought is "That's nice" not "That's seductive" or "This smells fancy".
Kenneth Cole reaction: This stuff is great. Nice spring scent. Fresh and citrusy. Light and enjoyable. Apply generously
Colognes to avoid:
1.) Car company colognes like Ferrari and Hummer are not only terrible smelling, but they aren't layered resulting in a short-lived aroma. They are often over used, and overly-popular.
2.) Abercrombie, Hollister, Ed Hardy, Diesel: These colognes and all others manufactured by department stores often smell nice. However because of their popularity AFC's all over the place spray there neck ten times with it. Which is a huge turnoff a girl probably encounters 5 times a night. We all know about scent and memory. Basically popularity = lame.
3.) Axe. God I hate Axe. I use their body wash, but don't ever ever ever use a scent out an aluminum can. They are over applied, generic, and popular. I will admit axe has it's applications. AFter car sex a little axe might save your lunch with another girl from taking a turn for the worse. But seriously! Never get out of the shower planning to use Axe, please.
Wearing Cologne:
1.) Get of shower - one squirt on neck while your pores are open
2.) Get dressed - spray one on our wrist rub against other wrist.
This gives your aroma a larger radius, now when you shake someones hand or are dancing or put your arm around a girl she gets a subtle whiff.
3.) If the cologne is subtle another squirt on your shirt will propel it off your chest. and get that nice aroma on
any mroe than three squirts will be too much.
Match your cologne with your deodorant. Basically make sure they don't conflict. Get a subtle deodorant that won't take away, but not necessarily add to your scent. Lots of old spice are good. Axe deodorant is great WITHOUT cologne, but much to strong to go with.
