The main reason I don't shower often is because I simply don't have the TIME. I get up at 8:15am and am either in class, meeting with teachers, in the lab, or studying until midnight or later. I leave maybe 1.5 hours total to eat breakfast and dinner (no lunch). By the time I get back to my room, I am exhausted and just brush my teeth and pass out on my bed. It just depends on how much stuff I have to do in a given day. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less, in which case, I have time to shower and such.


I'm not convinced. As a teacher, let me enter "teacher mode:"

Make time to shower. Trust me, it's worth it.

Well, actually, it varies entirely on the outfit. Blacks generally warrant something clean and crisp like Silver Mountain Water. Browns, something more warm and fruit forward such as Bond No. 9 Little Italy or Escada Sentiment. I guess I would say Sentiment is my "every day" fragrance since, with it being only $15 or so a bottle, I feel much less frugal with it.

Marc Jacobs signature for ladies of course.

Deluk I love the smell of that John Varratos for men even if it is a little cheaper. It is simple and not overpowering.

I've been wearing Ralph Lauren Romance Silver for the longest time, havn't really had a desire to try anything else. I've always gotten compliments on it so I guess that's a good enough reason not to switch.

I picked up the mens on sort of a whim when I was last in Manhattan. Got home, tried it out, and wasn't too pleased with it. I just found it, for the men's signature at least, to be far too astringent.

Anyone want to buy it? $30 and its yours. I'll even seal the package with, or without, a kiss if you're so inclined.

Can someone help me? I just bought L'eau d'Issey pour Homme Summer Eau De Toilette, and now reading reviews from basenotes (if this is similar to the 2006 Summer), it says that it's lighter and might not last as long as the original? I'm thinking of going back and returning it for the original because I usually like a stronger, longer lasting scent.

Does anyone have experience with this scent?

I've been using "Usher" lately, primarily because I got it for free. I really like it. Clean and masculine, but it doesn't overwhelm.

Amouage Jubilation XV
or
Creed Millesime Imperial
or
Geo F. Trumper Wild Fern Cologne.

If I'm wearing something like a navy suit then I'll go for Creed.
If it's something like a black shirt tucked into jeans then Amouage. Amouage tends to be what I wear out to clubs, as it's strong.
If I'm wearing earthy colours then Geo, something like a military green cashmere jumper or a tweed jacket.

If I wear anything, it's Abercrombie cologne. I've been using it for a while and have gotten tons of compliments on it. Other than that...I'm not sure what I smell like on a day-to-day basis.
