Mens Cologne: 5 Scents Women Love

Pay no attention to scientists when they claim the scent of cologne can't turn a woman on. On the contrary, nothing could be further from the truth. They may not have a clue as to how to go about proving it, but I promise, a sexy cologne goes a long, long way in terms of sex appeal. I can't explain the why, and frankly, I can't see a need to; I have yet to meet a woman who doesn't love a good-smelling man. I mean, come on, there are a number of scents which would turn you off in a nanosecond - it's only logical that some could turn you on that quickly. That said, it only works when a woman is already at least moderately attracted to you, so please don't think I'm saying this is all you need to turn a woman on!



Lacoste's Essential

You'll notice there are three references to Lacoste's Essential cologne listed. This is because I cannot get enough of this stuff. I have considered buying a bottle of it just so's I can spray it on my pillow and wake up with it - it's just that sexy. This light, clean and very fresh scent is fabulous. It's really an anytime, anywhere cologne.

Cost: $65


Calvin Klein's Obsession

I have yet to meet a woman who doesn't love this one. This is very masculine, and very heady on the right man. This is for the quiet, confident type who knows what he has to offer, but doesn't need to advertise. Sex appeal is pretty much guaranteed with Obsession for Men, but go easy on it if you're just at the office, this is more a sexy-night-on-the-town cologne.

Cost: $57


Calvin Klein's Eternity

Another one for the Calvin Klein fans. This is a fresh, sexy scent that can be worn anytime, anywhere. I do recommend trying this one on at the counter, however, because it doesn't always match a man's personal scent. In other words, it might not be right for you, even if you love it in the bottle. Eternity for women is the same - I love it in the bottle, but that's it. If it works for you, give it a go.

Cost: $57


Ralph Lauren's Polo

This is a classic that doesn't get enough attention anymore. There are a number of other colognes from RL, but this is by far the most sensual availble for men. You cannot go wrong with a little splash of this around the collar, it's fantastic. Besides, classic never goes out of style.

Cost: $57


Cartier's Declaration

Cartier makes several colognes and this is my personal favorite. Elegant and sophisticated, yet stil very masculine. And I absolutely adore the bottle; understated and classic. The cologne is pretty much the same, and you can't go wrong with that.

Cost: $70

A Few Tips:

  1. Hold the bottle at least 6-10 inches away -- you don't want to have to spray yourself several times, as too much of a good thing can be noxious.
  2. It's ok to lightly spray your chest -- but don't go lower than your abs.
  3. Please don't spray your wrists -- that's something women do.
  4. Spraying your clothes is ok -- if you do it lightly, and keep it in the general vicinity of your collar.
  5. Winter tip -- Try spraying a bit on your scarf, and then offering it to your date on a chilly after-dinner walk. I love borrowing a man's scarf when it smells like him - just realize that if she really loves it, you might not get it back for awhile!

Dear Isabella, Wonderful choices! May i add one more? Helmut Lang for Men.... It's the one cologne I ask my husband not to wear to work - to reserve just for me, because i think if it stirrs me, it surely will someone else !

Eternity for Men is one of my favorites, but I've been known to follow strangers through ;ublic places just to keep smelling them if he's wearing Joop. Nothing gets me hotter!

Never been a cologne man before, but recently tried a bit and she liked it. Hard to imagine paying upwards of $60 for a bottle, but if it turns her on, I'm willing to give it a try!

Thanks as always for the tips!

Doc - 1 bottle should last a very long time, even with regular use. Probably a year if you're only using a spray or so at a time. It's worth it! :)

robin  says:

Polo! Every time i smell it, I ask the man if he's wearing Polo, and they all say the same thing that women recognize and know that fragrance well. I love it. It's strong, yes, but sexy wow!

I must that I do agree with you on the cologne that you have chosen. I have them in my collection. Also another that I find women tend to enjoy is Burberry. It has a nice and light heavenly scent.

Ok,,,,,Obsession and Eternity for men, yes! Two 'old-fashioned' scents come to mind also, those being Old Spice and Canoe. Not sure if Canoe is still around though.

My personal favorite? Polo, hands down!

Thanks again for sharing,

Trish

Dear Isabella this one is almost the best advice to be given..i beleive in it...and it's very true from a medical point of view..colognes do MAGIC.....i might also add the Joop jump.....i think girls like it...and an arabian scent called Misk "Musk" if u heared about it is great too

thnx for the nice hub

my exgirlfriend absolutely loved the lacoste everytime she got her hands on it she sprayed on me and in her purse, so i gave her a teddy bear with my cologne on it, just a tip guys, it keeps you on her mind, and if its in her room its the first and last thing she will smell before she goes to bed.

I find that Hugo Energise is an instant attraction to women, it's never failed me although I must admit that DKNY Light Blue has never failed me either

Personally I like the soft, not harsh smels of pinesol, I tried david beckham, antonio banderas 'blue', They are nice. Also tried alot of Calvin Kleins and Clinique for Men. For work, I use the more musky stuff. Daytona 500, Brute,Stetson.-to cover the sweaty smell of a hard days work. I look forward to try Lacoste.

My boyfriend uses Calvins. I so love the scent on him. The original RL is kinda toasty/tobacco on the dry down. I'm not fond of the smell.
