Everyone has to get lumped into one category or the other. "Stinky Cretin" or "Fancy Boy".

@Major can we get a ruling here?

lol okay chief. Sorry for trying to educate the masses, and share a hobby. I’ll bow out. Good on you for a reasonable fragrance choice though. You can get it way cheaper than your link though. About 1/2.

Dr. Jellyfinger liked your High Karate? That seems like it was probably...awkward.
Be more cool than that to other posters.

Same. Usually these are fancier dinners like a work anniversary party or a wedding anniversary with my wife. She appreciates the effort.
My main cologne is a Burberry Weekend. I also will occasionally wear an Abercrombie and Fitch cologne that was my uncle's. It's probably getting old, but it's the like thing I have of him.

Never. It's not the 80's anymore.

It's weird, for some reason chicks dig it but wives don't seem to in the FFA.

Bath/shower twice daily and also forego all deodorant and anti-perspiration
Very sensitive to smells, I buy all the odorless detergents etc...
Forbid my wife from perfumes as well

Other than deodorant and allowing my wife to wear it Im with you. (Id still rather she didnt wear it). I find it illogical/necessary to wear it. Far more negatives and no desirable positives.
In simplest terms, its dumb.

I just ask her to not wear heavy perfume around me, I'm positive she wears deodorant
Soap
That's the soap I like to use, not that hard to find

I can vouch melanoma is the real deal. Trust me you don’t want it. Mean age of getting it is 61. Protect yourself.Only teenagers or idiots think this. Cologne is the icing on the cake. All other personal hygiene needs to be in place first. This includes flossing your teeth and mouthwash along with some lotion for the face (pref with sunscreen melanoma is the real deal).
Oh the outfit needs to be on point too. Walking out of the house with PJ pants and a $150 cologne is stupid.
I’m 50 and been married 23 years but not giving up yet. Wife likes it and it feels good when I get a compliment from a hottie 20 years younger at the mall

Wait - weren’t you the lead actor in tuna gate, or is my memory failing me?

He was the costar. I would argue the tuna wielding nemesis of his was the real star

If I didn't use deodorant I'd smell pretty bad every day even if I showered twice.
Also, you're just putting this on a tee for a tuna joke (though your olfactory sensitivity makes that story more understandable)...

The easiest default is to wear what the wife gets you. I like Lush alot.

K by Dolce & Gabbana for me. My wife likes the way it smells on me, which is all I really give a **** about when it comes to cologne.

I must admit that I've found this thread fascinating (and probably an example of the unintended bubbles we tend to create around us). I've never really thought about *not* wearing some kind of scent / perfume / cologne so some of the responses here are quite illuminating.
Personally, I've always worn something - earliest days it was a body spray, but that changed to Acqua di Geo, then L'eau d'Issey and then into more and more esoteric scents. It's a bit of a rabbit hole if you get into these things, and it can lead to some unexpected places, scents and memories. In fact, it's the latter (memories) that really got me into scents, how they are made, what they intend to evoke and what feelings they can unleash. Some smells will instantly take me back to a certain place - home, my grandparents, people I've known, cities I've visited. If food can do this, why can't scents? If the smell of old books can do this, why not a perfume that is reminiscent of libraries, old leather and dust? How about that smell when rain hits the warm pavement - it even has a name, petrichor - or the smell of freshly cut grass? Why do we spend so much time smelling glasses of wine, or drinking whisk(e)y, but then don't spend as much time thinking about how we want to smell? It's a strange one.

You did a really eloquent job of summarizing why I got into the hobby. It also has a tendency to calm me down in a high stress environment (which I mostly internalize!)
