Default Perfume or Cologne

Me personally I prefer perfume or anything feminine scented, well for me but on other guys I like the smell of cologne on them. My favorite type of scents range from fruity to floral. I don't know why I like perfume better than cologne, I've always enjoyed the smell of it. I'm not that girly, but I do like some girly things.

What about you guys?

i link something that smells fresh and sharp and kinda delicate and sweet. Which i guess means i like more feminine fragrances.

I really don't like alot of masculine fragrances. They always seem to smell of things which i just dont want to smell of, like leather, or tobacco lol

I'm a girl, which might make me ineligable to respond to this thread, but I definitely prefer perfume and more feminine scents on myself and others. I dunno, most guy cologne smells the same to me. I like girly scents much better. xD

I agree with Katherine. I don't like cologne - it all smells the same. Bad. XD
The guys at my school practically bathe in it, and I can't stand it.
I like fruity scents.

Prefer more masculine-smelling junk on me.

BUT if I could I would replace my blood with Harajuku Lover's G fragrance. That shit is intoxicating.

For myself I personally just use body sprays and sometimes cologne. As for other guys, as long as you smell good, I'll be happy, whether you are using perfume, cologne, or nothing at all.

I'm a big fan of anything that smells nice xD

Thierry Muglar's Angel Men

It smells like chocolate, caramel, smoke,and tar mixed together and put into a bottle <3

I'm with Katherine and Jazz. Even though I'm not super feminine myself, I do enjoy feminine and fruity scents. Not when someone bathes in it though... Blah. One squirt of perfume on the wrists or in the air and walking through it is plenty. Subtle is key.

I love my Clinique Happy Heart. <3

Cologne is usually more masculine and woodsy based fragrance, and a perfume is usually more fruity/sweet/and floral.

I like both, but for myself I usualy prefer perfume with a natural scent. I have several ones, but the one I always come back to is Roger&Gallet's Green Tea.

Neither!!

LOL.. Someone told me (doubt it is a fact), that there is a correlation between how compatible you are with someone and how much you like that someone's natural smell.

Though for me, I always tell whomever I am having a relationship with that I would prefer if he stopped applying cologne because I just like his natural smell!
