Hi,
First I want to say hello to everyone. I was looking for cologne information and ran across the forums a couple of weeks ago.
This might sound crazy, but back in the 80s I had a friend who got into Amway. I tried one of the colognes they had and it was the bet cologne I have ever smelled. Like I said, it sounds crazy because I found it through Amway. They claimed that Pierre Bourdon created a half dozen or so colognes they had at the time. At least I think it was him. They said that he was called 'the nose' so I Googled it and his name popped up everywhere.
Polo, Joop, Paul Sebastian, and Fire and Ice are a few of my favorites. But none of them smell like the cologne I have been searching for.
I was reading one particular post where someone was looking for something 'sophisticated', here's the link

I've been reading about notes and classifications and I've been trying to think of a way to describe what I'm looking for. I've come to the conclusion that there is no easy way, but I thought you guys could help. From reading the posts here a lot of you seem like you know what you're talking about.
I will try to describe the cologne, it's been 20 years. It was so good I should have bought a case.
'Distinguished' is the first word that comes to mind. It's not fruity, flowery, citrus, musky, woodsy....not one thing in particular stood out. I've never melled anything close to it. The smell of it made me feel more confident. It smelled like something someone would wear to a business meeting, or an important function where one would like to project an image of 'sophistication, power, and confidence'.
I remember it lasted about 12-14 hours. I was walking around my house, and if I turned around and walked back through the same area I could get a light hint of it. Just barely there, but definitely noticeable.
If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. This is my first post here, so forgive me if this was a dumb post, but I've searched and it's driving me nuts. I would like to learn more about colognes and any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help..
