Let’s talk colognes for gym since it’s about to start getting hot again. Looking at Davidoff Cool Water the OG, anyone recommend any other colognes I can find for cheap at discounters (under 30 USD/100mL) that’ll last the whole day from work-gym and are decently strong so I don’t smell like ass come ye old Texas summer?
Armaf Club de Nuit Intense EDT

I used to wear cologne in high school in the 1990's. Men shouldn't smell foofy. A little deodorant is all you should smell like.
Listen, I don’t mean to come off as a fag, but have you even smelled Xerjoff’s Mefisto Gentliuomo from the Casamorati 1888 collection? It’s a wonderful fragrance
I bought this, daily it sometimes but I dont think Id wear it to the gym.
Based, my daily cologne.
Cheap as hell and get so many compliments
Which version did you get
Jil Sander Sun Men
Inb4 the Richard cooper shills see this and shill tactical soap
You better not be sniffin that cologne, BOY.
Most fragrances that will last all day are too strong for the gym. What you’re going to want is a small bottle in your gym bag. For me, it’s Azzaro Chrome. It’s a very clean scent that won’t gas out the gym. Inexpensive too if you shop at discounters. Other options would be lighter scents like CK One, Dior Homme Cologne, Versace Man Eau Fraiche.
Nice post. What do you think about Allure sport? Too strong for gym?
Yeah, allure Homme sport is really good, but despite the name it isn’t really a sporty fragrance. It isn’t a beast mode scent but after you started to sweat it might be too cloying in the air around you
>Davidoff Cool Water
>Azzaro OG
>Victorinox Swiss Army
-fresh woody musk scent but not too heavy
definitely all faves for gym bag
Am I supposed to wear this for me or the girls? I love the smell of pine cones and want to get a cologne that smells similar, also might help with my tren sweat
Say no more king
vile hog.
Try Polo Green
Abercombie and fitch woods is masculine as fuck. Kinda hard to find these days.
You need this.
50 sprays of YSL Kouros
Drakkar Noir
The floral notes are a little sharp and may become unpleasant with the body heat of intense exercise. After the gym though it’s a solid pick. If you want something with lavender, Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier might be a safer choice.
Le male is a good choice
great taste, also find D&C the one to be another good one in that more expensive/classy vein, but Bleu edp is unreal
warm notes in the summer eh? bold choice, typically citrus and fresh is what people go for
Fan of replica's 'jazz club'
8 sprays of interlude man
Perfecto

Thread is a full of street shitting Indians. Ngmi.
>Thread is a full of street shitting Indians. Ngmi.
I haven’t seen one million posted so no Indians yet
Not for the gym but I got my bf a bottle of chanel bleu edp and everytime he wears it (rarely) it makes me want to climb him.
For your next gift he may smell nice in Chanel Allure Homme Sport. It blends citrus, florals and musk, and I think it smells exceptional. Plus it makes a thoughtful gift
That stuff is really good. Smells nice and lasts a long time. I get compliments when wearing it.
Cool Water is a great smell but once you put it on is gone in about 10 minutes, no staying power.
Bleu de chanel is great for nights out or whatever but it's way too strong for the gym
i use shiro because i don't trust western perfume garden gnomes
Comme des Garçons is a Japanese fashion house with a really unique fragrance lineup
ive always been the "that guy" who smelled bed, im glad i finally started wearing cologne i feel much more confident and women always tell me how good i smell
i was a cologne fag a few years ago but if I had to choose only one it'd be acqua dingio absolu
Solid choice, Giorgio always delivers
>colognes for gym
perfume is based but don't wear it to the gym
you should be all sweaty after your workout and need to wash which meand it's simply silly to waste perfume you're going to largely wash off
>wants to smell sophisticated
>buys the one stereotypical frag associated most with durka durkas and pajeets
Shiggity vro
When the fuck did this become about wanting to smell “sophisticated” I literally just said I don’t wanna smell like ass cause I live in an area where it gets really hot in the summer
I just use my aftershave, not too strong and helps hydrate my face and neck
my go to, lasts through the sweat in summer
checked but this is a winter scent, retard
what can you wear in winter in an office/formal/uni setting
im thinking something fresh and citrusy, summer-esque to make people feel there's actually summer in this winter hellhole that goes -30C every January
I love almost all of the Replica scents. I don't remember if it was the one you posted or Jazz Club that I didn't really like, it was almost sickly sweet. My favorites are When the Rain Stops, Coffee Break, and Beach Walk.
Based Jeremy's choice. POWER.
This guy looks like he smells good.

>worried about wearing scents at the gym

>not wearing distinguished scents for real men like pic rel

Came here to post this one. Best fresh fragrance ever.
OP, Davidoff is probably your best cheapest option. I haven't personally smelt it but I've continuously heard Nautica Voyage is a fresh, clean smelling fragrance that lasts for a decent duration and is a cheaper fragrance. Best of luck finding one frend.
Its not bad smelling, but wearing a meme fragrance doesnt give me a whole lot of confidence.
Y Eau Fraiche is goat for gym
Finally got to smell cool water the other day. Smells similar the the Creed green irish tweed I used to have.
GIT was made by the same perfumer. Supposedly, he had a disagreement with Creed and then improved the recipe and took it to Davidoff and made one of the most popular perfumes ever.
I'm waiting on my GIT clone to compared to Cool Water. Cool water is not bad to me, but it smells green and blue and chemical all at once. It reminds me of harsh cleaning products, and is pleasant once in a while but not an every day scent.
Interesting, makes sense.
is that you young vrodie
>Works everywhere
>colognes for gym
Good morning sir, can you also do the needful and recommend to me best Polo Shirt and Jeans for gym times?
bought the cologne leanbeafpatty uses so i can spray it on my bodypillow and pretend it's her when i sleep
Wrong board
I like it a bit oriental.
yes this is what you losers need.
spending 40$ to go to the gym while you are still unemployed and alsso 30$ on cologne so you smell nice for the girls or they will complain.
meanwhile im working out at home and smell like shit.
>$ 30 for cologne
What kind of cheap shit cologne are you wearing lol
>meanwhile im working out at home and smell like shit.
Do you value being cheap, alone and disgusting in all aspects of life?
>You guys are spending money to eat with FRIENDS bathing so they don't think you're disgusting while I'm here smelling PUTRID
>You guys are spending money to watch MOVIES with your GIRLFRIEND putting on deodorant while I'm here WATCHING ANIME for FREE smelling like cheetos
What a fag, I've never spent less than $100 on a cologne. Step your game up moron
I also like Dior Homme Sport and Chanel Allure Sport but not for the gym. From the other recommendations I also like Replica Jazz Club. I've had Chrome Azzaro before but I'm just not a fan of blue colognes anymore. For the gym I use Joop Homme 2022 edition. Floral notes and a little bit oriental, it just seems to be a good fit with my natural smell and is very inoffensive and still makes me smell good when I sweat. When I use soapy colognes and sweat it makes me smell even worse than if I was not using any cologne.
>I also like Dior Homme Sport and Chanel Allure Sport
>Chanel Allure Sport
>I'm just not a fan of blue colognes anymore
What did he mean by this?
I think my definition of blue colognes was just wrong. To me that meant more like soapy, tangy scents, more like shower gel freshness with less sweetness. I don't really associate aquatic notes with Allure Sport but I'm probably just a pleb.
>Davidoff Cool Water
It's the goat. You don't need anything else.
>wearing cologne to the gym
Really? Why? It's inconsiderate and rude. If everybody did it the gym would be an inhospitable toxic wasteland
>If everybody did it the gym would be an inhospitable toxic wasteland
Most people spray massive amounts of cologne before going to for example dance clubs where you usually get sweaty and there are a fucking lot of people there, yet everyone considers that normal.
And if you think that going to a club with cologne is inappropriate, fuck off
Also if you don't spray at least 5-7 times you're wasting money, nobody around you is going to smell anything.
I'd far rather some cologne in the gym than jeet body odour
what a coincidence, I bought a bottle of this davidoff last friday, it should arrive today
bought it because Cool Water Wave seemed ok to me but the longevity was basically absent after an hour, no matter how many times I sprayed
There are different types of cologne. The weakest (eau de Toilette), is meant to not last that long (like you in bed) and needs to be refreshed throughout the day. Hence the name "eau de toilette". Back in the day you would spray a bit of it after a visit to the restroom.
Cologne has different % from 2-3% (EdT) to 15% (real cologne).
Fascinating facts about types of fragrances: % alcohol strengths differ
>Eau de toilette
>Eau de Cologne
>Parfum
Ehh, it doesn't really work like that, It's an OK rule of thumb but there are many exceptions.
Some colonges use ingredients that don't need to be used in high concentrations because they would start messing with your nose or smelling bad. Sometimes you can't recreate a smell that you want to achieve using high concentrations.
Next time you're in a fragrance store try comparing Paco Rabanne 1 Million EDT with it's EDP edition, and the Elixir edition with is a perfume extract. They smell really different from each other, because of the reason above, they had to change the formulation.
Also I have tried EDP's that are weak as fuck, and many EDT's that are as strong or stronger than a lot of my EDP's.
Things have changed for sure, but 200 years ago or so, when people lacked hygiene, this was the rule for fragrances. EdT was used after almost every restroom visit cuz people had no daily shower and stuff...
r-rude
Anybody got a good swipe on deodorant to recommend
>Why yes I'm here for SEX
>>Why yes I'm here for SEX
Jeremy pls go, the formulation changed.
Aren’t fragrances hormone disrupters? How do I minimize the risk from the sprays?
Spray on your clothes, but the smell will be a little different since fragrance is meant to disperse in the air from the skin
>cologne at the gym
I want to strangle you and watch your eyes pop out
Just put a stick of deodorant in your car and swipe it before you go in
Nothing like trying to breathe and getting a noseful of your chemical flower shit. No one wants to smell you
>but BO?
d e o d o r a n t
It's a gym not the goddamn club
If I'm close enough to smell your armpits I'm still gonna smell them, bozo, just mixed with L' LUXURIE EAU DU BARFUM PARISIENNE
deodorant doesn't stop your body from sweating, retard. Dried sweat has a smell. If you don't train hard enough to actually sweat that's your problem
>cologne stops your body from sweating
If I'm close enough to smell your armpits I'm still gonna smell them, bozo, just mixed with L' LUXURIE EAU DU BARFUM PARISIENNE
I never wear cologne to the gym (seems kinda gay to me), but I will occasionally wear CK Shock once in a while if I feel like it, which is about once a month.
If you smell bad enough to need cologne every day, you should re-evaluate your cleanliness habits.
Cleaning up your diet will have the biggest effect on your sweat smell
>not wearing 10 sprays of based The Night to clear out the squat rack
never gonna make it, OP
HUH
COLOGNES IN THE GYM

You don't wear cologne TO the gym.
You wear cologne AFTER working out and showering at the gym.
For those times where you just want to smell like a bar of soap
>cheap cologne
don't even bother
I dont wear anything that costs under 200$
Current rotation:
>aventus creed
>sauvage elixer
>PdM Herod
fella cheap doesnt mean bad and expensive doesnt mean good it just means you dont see yourself finding gems in the african coal mines, you instead go to a fuckin swarovski crib
do you overpay?
yes
do you care ?
probably not
are you a fashion cultist ?
probably
now dont bother my Black folkchads as we watch jeremy fragrances kino about perfume under $20
All you need is Essential Parfums Bois Imperial. I’ve been told that I smell like sex/million dollars by multiple 9 and 10/10 women. Trust me on this one boys. You’ll get crazy attention from women with it.
I used to wear cologne a lot, but honestly I get more compliments from women when I just shower with old Hispanice swagger body wash and put a few swipes of swagger deodorant on my pits and chest. Lasts about 12 hours. Swagger smells predominantly like cedarwood and soap. The projection is nowhere near that of cologne; about 1 foot at most; but I find that often works in my favor.
wolfthorn is better
as for a cologne: try escentric 02 or go for creed vetiver
Obviously I don’t wear aftershave to the gym, because I’m not a sixteen year old oddball, but I do enjoy wearing Tom Ford’s Ombré Leather when I’m on a date.
>Yeah, I put on about a dozen sprays of Antaeus before I hit the gym
Apparently not as good as it once was. Anyone confirm?
invictus is shit. paco rabanne in general is too generic and gypsy-like
their last good one was black xs l'exces
Using cologne with sweaty clothes is fucking disgusting, just use baby powder on your body
