Ahhh...A Good Smelling Man

When did men stop wearing cologne? I guess I never noticed that many men have stopped wearing cologne. I buy it for Mike at Christmas and Valentines Day, but he typically only wears it for special occaisions. When you don't smell it for awhile when you come into contact with someone wearing cologne, it hits you pretty strong. I had a business meeting today, and the customer that I met with was wearing cologne. I don't know what the scent was, but wow! It was the wonderful intoxicating scent, clean & musky, but not overpowering. Usually even if I like a cologne initially after a little while, it starts to annoy me. Not so in this case. It smelled better the longer I smelt it. I am going to have to go to the mall and annoy the fragrance lady to see if I can figure out what it is. It should be noted that a good smelling cologne can definitely make someone more attractive than they really are.

For that matter, why don't many women wear perfume anymore? (I would like to clarify at this point that I am specifically referring to perfume or cologne. I have no tolerance for the whole essential oil thing. I absolutely loathe the smell of Patchouli!!! Please stop wearing it.) I used to wear it everyday, and all of a sudden it has become relagated to something I only use when I am going out. I would love to say that I stopped wearing it because I was considerate of other people's sensitivity to scents, but let's face it, this is more about laziness and just letting one more thing slip. I think it is time to start using some of the bottles that decorate my dresser!
