Does cologne make a difference?

Need some girls' opinions regarding cologne.

How much of a difference does it make when a guy wears a good cologne?

Is it blatantly obvious and does it potentially make you more attracted to him?

What are your opinions on Lynx/Axe body spray? Even as a dude I think it smells super cheap and disgusting. I see people spraying it all over themselves and it kind of makes me cringe ngl :biggrin: (I also have minor asthma so it makes me cough)

Thoughts!

No I love the smell of sweat 😍
nah not really, especially if the guy wears too much of it and it ends up mixing with body odour
But guys who wear perfume, for me thats attractive, but if they wear too much off it, it might show that they want attention and for girls to think that they smell good.
So too much armpit spray puts me off, but a right amount of perfume does not

wait are u wearing body perfume to attract girls?
I don't like any of these smells.

A man should smell of his own natural scent, his sweat and a hint of what ever he uses and in general he should be very clean. I don't understand when women speak of men "smelling good" when hes just used perfume or what ever. You are just breathing in a load of chemicals and this isn't your lover.

Do you not wish to breathe him in and let his scent explode inside of you. Gosh it must be hot.

"Cheap" isn't always about price when speaking of goods.

What do you use to wash your body?

Yes, it does make a difference. Especially when a guy in a suit walks past with a nice smell :h:
