No, really “STOP SHOWERING IN COLOGNE!”
Nothing says douche like smelling a guy’s cologne from six feet away. It is excessive and it needs to stop. Now, I’m not saying you should stop wearing cologne completely however men should stop wearing TOO MUCH cologne.
Perfumes or colognes, on a man or woman, are meant to tease and entice. You don’t want to choke on the smell and it should compliment their own natural scent. Women have mastered the art of the lingering perfume. Men only smell women’s perfume when they get in close for a hug or kiss. Scents from perfumes and colognes shouldn’t be powerful, but more subdued and compelling.So here is how can you tell if your cologne is too strong:
- Do people complain about your cologne?
- Can you smell your cologne on your coat after you have worn it?
- Does it come out of a aerosol can with big bold letters on the front?
- Did your mom pick it out for you?
- Are you spraying cologne in order to camouflage the fact you haven’t showered?
If you have answered yes to any one of these questions then it is time for a change. Find a scent that suits you but isn’t overpowering. Colognes can be sexy but find your balance. Get your girlfriend or a female friend to pick out a suitable cologne for you, so you know you won’t be going overboard.
Note: If you are someone who never wears cologne then I suggest you start. If you are someone who doesn’t shower enough then please do. If you are 14 and your mom picked out your cologne from the drugstore then you shouldn’t be wearing it anyway.
Men shouldn’t just look good but they should smell good too. Women want to hug a man and go back for more. So learn to appreciate good smells and don’t be too trigger happy with your cologne bottle.
