@2Soon2Care: You should make that two votes on Love and Luck-- JesseJester was praising it as well and said it's his "everyday" scent. It's real universal for the occasion. I recommend you test it at Sephora or a department store. Most places have it out for you to test.

lol I actually bought Love & Luck this weekend at walmart for $10 for small size, as well as True Religion's Drifter, Liz Claiborne Mambo for Men, and sean jean Unforgivable - not too much out of pocket, maybe $80 or so, but a nice starter scent palette!
I'll edit to bump it up to three, I like it now!
BTW, of these four, so far Mambo has gotten the most attention, even without mones...
I'll rate them on sillage, projection, and longevity once I get a handle on them

Escada Moon Sparkle is quite unique scent for daily use. (Not many ppls use it)
And Bleu De Chanel is great for partying.

A lot of people may be using it but I like Aqua Di Gio. It's not sweet smelling like Armani code.

I already posted this in one of my journals "The Mones"... Anyway because so many people were on this thread I thought I'd post this again, I see that not many people know or talk about this scent...    

This is "Hot Water" by Davidoff, I had two female friends pick this out with me at an perfume store in an outlet in Massachusetts. One of them said, "we'll try not to jump on you." These are platonic friends of mine who don't normally say things like that. I mixed this stuff with some Edge and wore it to an event, read about it here:http://pherotruth.org/Thread-A-Fresh-Start-So-Begins-The-Makings-of-Alpha-Stud "Experiment 8-18-11 and 8-20-11" are the two.

Gotta cut this one short, if anyone has heard of this scent, please share your own stories and if you go and try this scent out because of me, please tell me!!

I got an itch to reply since cologne is one of my favorite thing, but I guess i better not

I recently was seeing videos at youtube and a cologne enthusiast buys sample vials at
http://www.fragrancevials.com/
the samples vials are $2.50 free shipping within USA and for standard international shipping is $2.50 + $0.50 per item or for expedited $14.00 + 0.25 per item
They have lots of brand cologne vials

Also on ebay i have seen sorted vial sample packs been sold
just search for cologne vials

Good news, thanks I'll check it out!
I stopped by a Sephora store in the mall near my home, and while sniffing the expensive stuff a saleswoman told me that I could get samples for free! She literally opened tiny sample spray bottles like 1-3 ml size, sprayed 5 different USD $50+ colognes into the sample sprayers, labelled them, put them in a bag, and I walked out with probably $30 of product for free! Try it!!!!!!
