Recommend a mild men's cologne!

Vera Wang for Men.

Always gets comments from ladies on me. Might just suit my pheromones though I guess.

It's called Sex Panther by Odeon

I actually have an actual bottle of that. Got it as swag at a film festival. Christ but it stinks. 😀

For something really mild, I'd suggest washing with Lush's "The Olive Branch." It smells a bit to me like Royal Copenhagen, and it lingers a bit, but isn't overwhelming at all. They make a solid perfume version, but the scent doesn't last and seemed slightly different to me, sweeter and more pastry-like, than the soap. The soap might take some getting used to. It will separate overnight and you'll have to shake it up again in the morning. I find myself wishing they put spraypaint agitators in the bottle. It is less viscous and doesn't lather quite as much as you might be used to, but i still recommend it.

When I wear actual cologne, it's Acqua di Gio, but very conservatively. I put half a spritz right in the center of my chest and let it dry before putting on a shirt. The point isn't to olfactorily announce yourself to the room, but to say something a little more personal to those who get close enough to notice.

I'd forgotten about this thread. I think I'm too sensitive to even mild colognes. I tried a few, but they all made me feel somewhat nauseous.

Soap and water it is!

Frankincense. The oil would probably only cost you around $10-15 all up. Companies that make cologne and perfume do so using a combination of these perfume oils and sell them to you for $50-100.

I don't have it, but my friend uses it and gets asked about it by men and women all the time. I have another scented oil, but it makes me smell like rich mahogany. 😉

Joop or Issey Miyakes L'Eau d'Issey perhaps? The later is rather mild, to be honest, but this coming from someone who prefers a really strong fragrance like the Armani Code

Chanel Pour Monsieur (the old original version, not the concentrated one)

Problem is it's impossible to find in the US.
