Quote:Yes, the Oud smell, not particularly the product smell, but who's to say what's what. Now the Oud is linked with negative smell connotations.

I personally don't like oud smells myself. Best to get unscented I think. But if you want more of a fresh smell that you can easily cover with most of the colognes out there, get FXS or Nobility

I got some scent samples with my order last time and found that:

FXS and nobility have the best chances of blending nicely with the majority of colognes out today. They are more fresh smelling scents.

Pepper and nutmeg i think will blend nicely with Dior sport homme, spicebomb, fahrenheit or similar colognes. I would say this is more a fall/winter smell.

Quote:The fragrance, however SO has a very sensitive smell I believe, and the ascend didn't help that.

Although a great product, I do think Ascend has a strong nasty smell to it.. will be difficult to cover with or without added scent. The scent of Ascend does die down a little after about 30 mins or so..
