My 19 year old brother wants some cologne, and said only he wanted to smell manly and "woodsy", lol!(???)

I have been letting the idea sit for a few days but haven't come up with anything.

I told my sister I am getting him a can of Off!



But for real, what is appropriate for someone who is almost 20, not really a teenybopper but not an old guy?

Not sure really


I do know several 17- 22 yr olds the like Burt's Bees Bay Rum

Contradiction by Calvin Klein
or
Dirty English by Juicy Couture


both are manly as hell...and age appropriate

I've been smitten lately with Burberry Beat.

here are 2 i like.... i love smelling men's cologne at the department stores... nothin like a good smelling man

this smells nice on a guy

thanks y'all. i've been thinking of trying a gift set or something where there are different ones to try, but... maybe he isn't all that picky which is why he didn't SAY what he wanted.

i would go to the department stores and get a lot of testers lol... every cologne smells different on everyone due to the body chemistry... there are ones i will smell and like and then ness will put it on and then after a few minutes it won't smell the same .....

A couple years ago I bought myself a Calvin Klein set of all the scents to try them all out (wear them, get other people's reaction as well) and found one I liked.

I don't think my brother would be that picky, actually.

I've never heard of Dirty English but I'll check it out.

Previously I would have said Abercrombie And Fitch would be age appropriate but I don't know how their branding is doing these days.. that's like 7 Christmases ago.

Agreed. STILL my weapon of choice when I wanna drench the panties I'm schemin' on.

I gave my best friend Hugo by Hugo Boss for his birthday and he loves it. It has a woodsy smell that's really nice.



Also Burberry has a new fragrance that's actually pretty nice called The Beat, it has a woodsy, leather-like smell that's actually a lil spicy. You should check it out. It's brand new.

Also, I not trying to pump up my old employer, but Ezra Fitch @ Abercrombie used smell really good, too. And it's not outrageously expensive.

Any 3 of these would work, imo.

you right, that stuff is a weapon lol .. I stopped a dude and asked him what was he wearing.. he said Eternity.. I was like 'wow'

Cinnie said:

Just realized, if I'm to go by the ad, I'm about 15 years too old for this fragrance.

Flowers2 said:

Did you then grope his sack and kiss him on the side of his neck simultaneously?

MuthaFunka said:

lol.. no, I did not.. lol ..

Flowers2 said:

Scaredy-cat!

abierman said:

taking his guidelines VERY LITERALLY I SEE

Cinnie said:

I did not even notice that!!! It's a great fragrance!

Listen to Mara.

MuthaFunka said:

now see.. I bet a female mobbed you down after smelling you lol.. that stuff really smells good..

Flowers2 said:

Yep! I used to LOVE getting into an elevator with other women and they turn, sniff, and ask me what I had on. Then they'd sniff my neck again and go "Uhmmmm...that's nice".

MuthaFunka said:

and then you got their digits lol all of them lol

If you have an Eddie Bauer nearby, this is a decent scent.

Personally, I'm not a fan, but my wife loves it.

I prefer:

Spirit - Antonio Banderas



and

Hanae Mori
