COLOGNE: YES OR NO?


Fashionista is asking "Do guys still wear cologne?" And, if they do, do they even call it "cologne" anymore? I can't leave the house before applying a fragrance ... for me, scent is essential. For special occasions, Tom Ford's Private Blend Collection is a favorite (although $200 for a few ounces is extravagant, the Tobacco Vanille is worth every penny), as well as les Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle (Carnal Flower and Lipstick Rose). For everyday wear, I've been using Prada's Infusion d'Iris (technically for ladies, but a good, heady floral on a man is quite unexpected and lovely). If it's not Prada, I go to my old friend Rochas for a unique, powder-y Oriental, and I'm also very fond of Bond No. 9. What is your signature scent?
