I have both Swiss Army Altitude and Issey Mayake (got it for free). I dont like the Issey one and the swiss army one is getting boring. I used to have Cool Water but I used it up, it was nice. I am looking for something not too strong, but long lasting. Preferably in the $70 and below price range for a 100-150ml bottle. Anyone have some suggestions?

Theres a few threads in this forum about cologne, a quick search should find them.
You can also take a look at basenotes.com and the reviews there (can sometimes be really slow to load).

The Real RFD approach to this would be to walk in a department store like The Bay every morning before work, spray some cologne from the sample bottles, then walk out. Every day. :twisted: :lol:

Wasn't Curve released in the mid-ninties? Sh*t is so played out, almost as bad as Acqua Di Gio...

cologne is not something you can really ask other people for opinions, there are so many different ones out there one that someone likes might be the complete opposite for you...but if you're just looking for suggestions, i really like lacoste red, and armani black code

Yep. This is definitely the best way because you have the most variety too. I would also suggest doing your 15 minute bicep workouts with the dumbbells inside your local sports store while you're at it. You'll look and smell sexy this way.

Well everyone has their own tastes. If you like cool water you'll prob like Polo Sport. The original swiss army smells better than the altitude and it's as cheap. I bought it back in the day when it first came out many yrs back and it was really expensive but you can find it cheap at like sdm nowadays. Nautica is also a good bet.

as I said in another one of these threads, what you have to do is to get some samples, and try it on yourself during a regular day. That way, you get to determine how appealing it smells after you start sweating into it. Don't be pressured to decide on the spot when the salesperson is showing you things. If you really think that person made a good effort and you've decided on what you want later, then by all means, head back and give that person the sale.
