I dont know how old you are but my dad, who's 76, used to wear this 40 years ago. I can still picture the bottle sitting on the counter in his bathroom growing up. He very well still wear it but I doubt it

You let the wife pick it out...it's not like you can much smell it after a few minutes...nose blindness.

Currently she's loving the "teakwood".

I have a German sized nose. I can smell everything, so it’s nice to like what I’m putting on my body.

Why? I'm not a child. Do you let your wife pick out your clothes too?

I ordered a cheap bottle of Giorgio on Amazon several months ago, mostly for the nostalgic factor. Reminds me of the time a whole bottle of it from my grandmother spilled in my duffle bag on a church bus during a long trip.

Cool Water, Stetson, and the old and always reliable, Aqua Velva, are the only ones I'll even consider anymore. Curve, as mentioned above, is a decent one as well. As for us older farts here, we suffered olfactory sensory overload in the 1980s with Obsession for Men and Polo, so both of those are a solid "no go". Of course, Brut is a solid standby if you're a pedo. As for anyone over the age of 35 having worn Drakkar at least once - I'm 54 and have avoided it thus far.

It's rare I'm around anyone wearing an aftershave or a cologne these days unless it's someone even older than me at church on a Sunday morning. The most important thing to remember, though, is to keep it extremely subtle. Don't go splashing it on like you're trying to bathe in it. That'll only make people gasp for fresh air when they get around the corner from you and it'll make them wonder if you're trying to conceal the scent of a corpse.

On a side note, I'm considering putting together a cologne and marketing it under the name "Dad."
To fit the name, it should have a mild scent of fresh sweat, a full-bodied aroma of a newly mowed lawn, and an almost imperceptible hint of freshly topped dog doo. (If you don't get at least a very slight hint of the freshly topped dog doo, then it's probably a cheap Chinese counterfeit knock-off.)
