My Six Scents


Fragrance defines our personality.  I am a perfume fanatic and never leave home without wearing one.  But sometimes wearing one can be a bit tricky.  There are some that smell so good if you wear them during the daytime but a total turn off when you wear them at a dinner date.  Others smell good on the first opening but leave an unpleasant smell as it gradually “blends” with the body’s natural scent that would likely drive people away.  You see, perfumes are not created equal and choosing the ones you think suit you best take a lot of testing and sniffing.  Here are some of my top favorites:

Musk Oil.  A small drop spread across the chest with a gentle massage penetrates the skin and exudes a clean, refreshing smell the whole day.  Since musk is a natural aromatic, it blends nicely with sweat.  The oil form is quite expensive.

Kouros by YSL.  A very potent cologne that requires very careful application.  Smells like a cross between goat’s urine, detergent, musk and citrus.  But as it wears off, the smell tones down to a mysterious blend of leather and woody undertones, that women describe as the sweet smell of sperm.  Sexy.

La Nuit De L'Homme by YSL.  Got my first bottle as a birthday present from by best friend.  My only after sundown cologne.  Long lasting provocative and sensual smell.

Chrome by Azzaro.  Fresh and spicy.  I love the citrus note that makes it smell sporty too.

Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss.  My business perfume.

Diesel Fuel For Life by Diesel.  Rugged!
