cologne

[ord27]

this may be a bit off the wall
but
I've never really been a cologne or after shave wearer. But, I'd kind of like to start
what cologne would yall suggest for a 50 year old successful family guy?
I don't want to smell like a trendy 25 year old. No offense to anyone. I'm just not 25 anymore.....

If it helps...I'm not much of a fashion guy. Off days are blue jeans, tennis shoes and t-shirts

thanks
and thanks for not harassing me :headspin:

Oh, I wouldn't thank us just yet.


:D

[rickpaw]

For me it was exhaust smell.

Not the answer you're looking for, but I have to throw it in there.

[Track Junky]

As long as your not smelling like fumunda cheese I wouldn't sweat it. :D

[dale68z]

My wife seems to really enjoy valvolene 80-90. I buy it 5 gallons at a time.

[califconstruct]

Maxima Castor 927 mixed with some C12 race gas.. exhausted.. is heaven secent!.. Nothing like the smell of fresh 2 stroke in the a.m. :D


If that's not available.. I've been pretty happy with Obsession, by Calvin Klein
--- for men of course! :thumbsup: Masculine.. and tolerable.. not too bold.

[ord27]

I don't know what I was thinking :poke:

[Sieg]

I've always liked WD40 and it's relatively unique.

[BMR Sales]

Octane Booster - anything else is for Girls!

I absolutely agree, but

Have you tried the PB blaster? Pure awesomeness in a aerosol can. Just holding the can makes you a stud. Add the spray straw well ..... well...... well.. just ,,damn.

[fleetus macmullitz]

No joke here...a guy called into ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike show today and during a 'Grill Golic' session where almost any topic was fair game, he asked if they were yay or nay on cologne.

Was that you Ord?

:D

The obvious question is why do you want to wear it?

But please don't tell us why...

:_paranoid

In a somewhat serious response, I use Burberry Brit and would say it works well. Not a trendy smell, I hate those myself, but also not aftershave smell. The wife likes it and I have never had any complaints about smelling horrible from co-workers.

[intocarss]

A lil dab of VP C-25 behind the ears :trophy-1302:

[cluxford]

no no no not oils and gasses...waxes smell the best, or even some sealants have a nice smell to them.

Get a good Microfibre cloth and wax yourself

[BMR Sales]

Just don't go to Bar and proclaim you are wearing your Mother's

[ord27]

wasn't me
thanks for all of the responses. very entertaining. I normally smell like Italian food (own restaurants).
I guess that on that rare occasion when the guys and wifes go out as a group, it'd be nice

[Sieg]

Personally if I was in the situation I'd have the wife pick it out.......that's the opinion that really matters. Just tell her to error on the conservative side. :thumbsup:

There's the right answer....


Go shopping together... or with your daughter if you have one (or more). That's what I do.


Don't spray any on you! Use their little sample paper things.... you spray it on the paper thingys --- then wave it around a bit -- then don't stick your nose right on it - hold it away a bit and kind of wave it and you'll get the scent. Take your time and really make sure you get a couple that you like.


My favorite new one is Bond Street No 9... from Nordstrom

But everybody has ones they like and ones they hate..... I personally would wear Old Spice every day because it reminds me of my Grandpa.... but Gwen isn't a fan... LOL

[fleetus macmullitz]

I get the little woman involved in decisions like that, and as you can see she's pretty pleased about it.

Well, you can always rub a couple tuna fish sandwiches under your arms and around your neck every morning and that should help! LoL!

But if you don't like the sweaty a$$ smell, then have the Woman pick it out. Honestly, they all smell about the same to me, but I wear what is sitting on the counter that she bought me!! LoL!

Even though I'm fortunate enough to be part of the 'Rontourage', I know nuttin about them LS7 sump tanks, so we jes started cuttin stuff out...

[Code510]

I wear Ralph Polo Blue, but its a younger guy scent for sure.

But that's by far the best advice...have your wife go with you to pick it out. That's what I did.

Good one Ron. :lol:


Ord,

I had my doubts at first, but lat-g'ers stepped up and provided some good advice in what is very likely the one and only cologne thread ever posted on here. :thumbsup: :D

[sokoloka]

Burberry Touch is a pleasant, subtle scent. I don't wear cologne all that much though.

[ord27]

yea, I wish I didn't have to be the one to start it, but I guess it would have happened eventually.
some great suggestions and comments. I'm going to take the little woman out and see what we come up with. I will keep yall posted

I feel like I need to start my 70 superbee build thread just to make amends.

I'm just not quite ready to do that

will this pic at least appease the Lateral-G gods?

Ord,

Perhaps you helped some people come out of the 'cologne closet'...lol

Look forward to seeing your big 'Bee build. :thumbsup:

[6T9LSX]

For what it's worth, I am 51.
As far as going out / special occasions, one of my all time favorites has been Fahrenheit by Christian Dior. I also like the Polo's (green or blue). For everyday office job, I use Gap Core as it's not very strong.

[jarhead]

this has to be the funniest serious question asked by far. Love the responses.

I wont perpetuate the jocularity :ohsnap:

My daughters or wife usually buy it for me...

[ord27]

I settled on :
Creed Aventus....by far..gets the most comments
Kilian: straight to heaven
John Ford: black orchid...either love this one or not

also might get Bond no.9: signature....very nice!

anyway: here's my Superbee. It was delivered today!

let the resto begin!!!!

[214Chevy]

Now stop buying cologne and start buying car parts. You don't need to smell good anyways until the car is finished and you're rolling around town like a big ol pimp. :drive:

Well said Marcus! Lol!

[fleetus macmullitz]

Maybe I missed it, but what are your planned specs for the RR?

[ord27]

I honestly haven't decided what to do with the Bee yet.
It would be nice to take it back to original glory, but it doesn't have its original drivetrain.....

I bought it with the intention of putting it on a Schwartz chassis and dropping a 572 hemi in it with a Tremec 6 speed.

If that's the way that I go, I'd like it to look fairly stock from the outside, and inside of the car. Maybe hide some nice upgrades here and there

I do have all of the original N96 duct work, that is already restored...and the correct 8 track player for the car. I would like to use both!
