The human body is an amazing thing. Our tongues have there own print just like how our fingerprints are each unique. The same goes for our natural smell or "musk" that our bodies produce via sweat glands. The pheromone we produce is from our more basic "animal" side, and is its own unique chemistry that triggers receptors in the female brain. The same goes for females, and it was this way, along with our dominant nature that would attract a mate (for those who believe in evolution lol) Colognes today are derived from our natural scents and then mixed with other variations. In an effort to produce a more heightened response from the opposite gender. But as I read some of the comments below, too much can be a bad thing. Just like how a really sweaty guy who is pungent with his own scent can be a turn off for some if not most girls (not my ex, she loved it for some reason). So in conclusion, it is good, and obviously a very common practice amongst both sexes. Just keep in mind, you only need a little bit, one drop on each side of your neck, then spray the mist in front of you and walk through it. That's all you need :) Happy hunting

+1 yOf course its a turn on for women! How sexy is it when a woman smells incredible!?!My advice is forget the Polo Blue and get something a real man would wear. Look into some Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum or some Trumper Eucris. Anything that includes natural scents like herbs, citrus plants, flowers, and spices is absolutely incredible. I shave with straight razors and just the shaving cream I use has such a powerful, natural scent, it can be smelled on my skin after I'm done shaving and it's Taylor Sandalwood from London, hasn't changed since the 1800s.

If I like a guy, then the fact he wears cologne here and there, yes, I like it. So, the man makes the cologne, the cologne does not make the man. And, I also like my man smelling like a man if he just worked out or just woke up, but not because he is lazy and has poor hygiene.
Oh, yes, and I second the motion that an overpowering spray of it is a turn off. You should have enough so that I can smell it when I am close to you, not enough so that everyone else in the room can smell it too. A little goes a long way.20 Reply
+1 yI had a dream once, of a guy wearing colonge and I told him he smelled really good! And
then I woke up and realized it was only just a dream! : ( Needles to say I like nice man
scent, and it doesn't even have to be colonge. It could be lavender scented body wash
or power fresh deoderant, as long as he has a pleasent scent I'm a happy camper! : )00 Reply
+1 yNo sh*t Sherlock! I'm sorry...I don't mean to be mean...but don't you prefer things when they smell really nice to the bad smells? Doesn't everyone? Isn't this common sense? I'm just saying. ;P B.O. is one of the biggest turnoffs in the book I'd think. xD Your question made me chuckle! ;P Wow...wow. LMAO!

It all depends on the individual...for example..for me..lol..I don't have to put perfume on to smell good...I just take a shower and all and I naturally smell good. I don't smell out of this world fantastic obviously..but I smell clean. Is that what you meant? Some people will like your natural scent..some won't...some will like some colognes...some won't. As long as you don't smell like sh*t...lol...because that never smells alright. ;D

...Like shower and deodorant and that's it...and the whole day..I smell good. :)

+1 ywell yes of course, but it shouldn't be so strong it's intoxicating. something very subtle... for example, I don't wear perfume often, because most of the time I use vanilla liquid soap in the shower, which does the trick. but when I do wear perfume, its not obvious...but I smell good.
What does Polo blue smell like anyways?13 Reply- +1 y
That seems perfectly fine, if you don't put too much of it. There's nothing worse then people who smell as if they had a perfume bomb explode on them.

so yeah go for it!
+1 ySmelling good is always a turn on. My ex had a natural body scent that I loved, and I'm still feeling nostalgic when I smell something that reminds me of his scent :)
Now, cologne should be used very carefully. It can get over powerful really quickly, and become a turn off ^^'10 ReplyI like when guys smell like (real cologne) not axe or tag or other cheap smelling stuff. I think it is repulsive to smell your boyfriend a mile before you actually see him. So I like when my boyfriend just wears a soft masculine scent. I don't like when they lather it on. It can get annoying and actually run women away. If it is the right cologne it is a turn on. The smell of it on my clothes or when I get close to you is a turn on. It makes her think about you.
00 ReplyOmg yes...its so inviting. I like clean smells. When you can still smell their laundry detergent on their clothes :) makes me happy.

Yes, but too much of it is a turn off. I was sitting in a plane once and I could smell the guy in front of me without effort. I gagged quite a few times.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yYES! I love when guys smell good...however, it's good to mix it up a little bit and not wear the same stuff every day, and you don't want to be able to be detected from across the room. lol. just enough so when you're standing behind a girl, or beside or in front of her, she can smell it. but for me, it's a big turn on.

+1 yI don't like cologne. I prefer the way guys smell naturally, especially after a bit of physical activity. Before it turns to BO though. The happy medium. Its the sexiest smell in the world to me.

My kind of woman.
Just ask yourself if a girl smelling good is a turn on
20 ReplyI don't wanna smell a guy's cologne unless I am standing right next to him. My boyfriend wears something that I can only smell when we are close. Smelling good is nice but don't wear too much and stink up the entire room.
00 ReplyYes! If you walk past and there is a nice aroma in the air it is a definite plus as well as an attention grabber. If I smell it, I'm going to want to know who it's coming from.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yhuge turn on! just don't go overboard like those cheesy desperate guys that you smell from the other side of the train!
20 ReplySmelling good, yes. Bathing in cologne? No. Take it easy on that stuff, it's quite...potent.

Here's the way you're suppose to use it, one of 2 ways, actually. spray it about 3 feet in front of you and walk through it. Or, this is if you are a man, put some in your hand, smack your hands together, and smack yours neck, chest, and shoulder blades. And I guess anywhere else you really want. But only one spritz. Anymore & you smell like an old lady in an elevator.
Mmmmm
i do think it is a big plus when a guy smells good, but not when it is overpowering, ya know? I love guys colognes, sometimes more than girls perfumes ha ha :-)
00 Reply
+1 yNo of course not, they prefer guys that smell like a hobo. By the way your taste in colgne is kinda sh*t. Get paco rabanne, giorgio armani, tom ford, or carolina herrera. These I have found are the best brands, especially to impress a woman.

+1 yOhhh, definitely. lol Huge plus(:
But I'm more into the deodorant smelling really good, like whenever we hug or something. Not into the cologne thing all that much.
But good job, TURN ON.00 ReplyI might not like a guy but he seems really good to me that I can help but be attracted. I don't think he use anything except body wash and deo.

+1 yDoes it turn YOU on when a GIRL smells good? I'm guessing it does. The trick is to not overdo it, whatever scent you choose to wear.
10 ReplyYep :P especially that David Beckham cologne mmm... ahhh... lol if I smell it when walking past a guy I have to stop a minuite and sniff it hehe.

What's polo blue? I thought you might be talking about shirts but that doesn't really seem to fit the context...110 Reply
Opinion Owner+1 yHaha I would be careful. A lot of girls are allergic/don't like cologne. Just deoderant is good. My guy had a special kind of smell that was just his clothes and natural scent with a bit of deoderant to block the BO part of that scent lol. It was what made him unique. Cologne can't do that.
Opinion Owner+1 yLol do they have it in wal-mart?
Opinion Owner+1 yHaha holy crap.
Opinion Owner+1 yYou must really love women xD
