In my younger days I used a very expensive scent (Halston Z-14) and was always complimented on it by women, but I no longer use any cologne. I can no longer abide a scent on myself or other men, and on women, I prefer only a VERY subtle scent.
One thing to know is, it’s not just the cologne itself that produces a scent, it’s the combination of it AND one’s personal chemistry, which means that a particular cologne can smell slightly or even very different on different men.
