I Want My Body To Smell Good

Hi. I want my body to smell good. Why? My lady friend wants my body to smell good:
What I Am Looking For I am looking for fragrances that someone going after power would wear, not someone who has got power, but someone who is working to get that power. What Fragrances Should I Try? There are a lot of fragrances out there. I don't know much about them, and I can't smell them all (I'd probably get a really bad headache doing that). So I am here to ask people what I should try. What fragrances should I try? Fragrances That Are Near Me Here are fragrances that are near me:
ACQUA DI PARMA aramis Bulgari CHANEL CLINIQUE CREED Dior diptyque GIORGIO ARMANI GUCCI and DOLCE & GABBANA Guerlain Hermès L'OCCITANE en Provence LALIQUE Thierry Mugler Tom Ford Yves Saint Laurent Other stuff More stuff
Thank you.

What an elaborate post!

During the spring/summer, I wear Hermes Orange Vert. During the winter, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male.

You'll smell like shit if you keep eating shit. So start improving your diet.

Well fragrances change over time (there are top notes, middle notes, and base notes), so a scent might suck at the beginning, but be awesome in the middle/end. There are lots of fragrances out there, and I don't want to go through the top/middle/base notes of them all, so I want to know what to smell and try first. Also, I'm in Korea, cause of my lady friend. Many of the fragrance sales ladies don't speak very good English, and I don't speak Korean. Thanks though GasparddeColigny.

I'm asking as many people as I can, so I can make a list of what I should smell and try first.

You don't need to talk to anyone to smell the samples. People here could recommend fragrances all day long, but in the end you need to smell them to find what you like. If you want us to narrow it down, try starting with the Creeds, any one of them would be a good choice.

I would go for Tucany by Aramis... Starts off smelling quite strong but give it a few hours and it's really nice! Last all day too :-)

Dip your balls in some Saphir Renovatuer like the rest of us. That usually does the trick.

Don't know how old you are and your tastes. Here are my suggestions, give these a try and branch out to experiment. BN will give you lots of suggestions as well. Pardon the spelling.

Acqua di Parma: Colonia
Bvlgari: The Vert (Green Tea) - this may be out of production
Chanel: Egoiste Platinum
Creed: Green Irish Tweed, Millesime Imperial, Vetiver, Silver Mountain Water, Himalaya, Erolfa, Original Santal, Acier Aluminum
Diptyque: Philosykos, Tam Dao
Guerlain: Vetiver
Hermes: Terre des Hermes
Versace: Man Eau Fraiche (not my usual scent, fairly common but it is quite nice in the summer)
Tom Ford (warning - pretty challenging scents): Tobacco Vanilla, Moss Breches, Noir de Noir, Tuscan Leather and Oud Wood

Good luck and let us know what you think in here or BN.

I recommend you to try Comme des Carcons - PLAY parfumes. They're really nice!

If you want to smell like someone in power then you don't want to smell much at all. People in power tend to want you to listen to what they are saying, not take notice of how good/bad they smell. Both the reaction "my, oh my, that guy smells good" or the opposite "what the hell is that guy wearing, he smells like man-hooker" is bad. Odors are extremely powerful and can actually sway a person you never met before to like or dislike you, no matter what you are saying and how charming you might be. So why take a chance? Wear a discreet deodorant that does not give off too much scent and your good to go.

If you want to impress your lady friend, that's a different thing all together. Easiest solution is of course to ask her what scents she likes (smart huh?). I find many women like scents that remind them of their fathers/father figures. This sound kinky but it's just how the brain works. Wear Geo F. Trumpert's Sandalwood or something else your dad would use. If your dad lives in a trailer this might not play out very well. Think more "My dad lives in a mansion. During the winter. The rest of the year he lives on his yacht." You get the idea, don't you? Try it, you'll like it my friend. And your lady friend too.
