    1. Quorum Silver
    2. Dolce and Gabbana pour homme
    3. 4711
    4. English Leather
    5. C.O. Bigelow Red Elixir

    I have a few others, but these seem to be the ones I reach for. I have a bit of a CAD going on, but the purse strings seem to be knotted for now.

    They're in no particular order, but the 4711 is for hot days, and the Elixir and English Leather are more for "jean days."

    Correction: I meant Lucky Tiger Aspen. It resembles Aspen by Coty but is much lighter. Master Blue resembles Aqua Velva, but also is lighter scented.

    For what's it worth, here's my list!


    1) Acqua de gio

    2) Tabac

    3) Woods of Windsor

    4) Anherb aftershave

    5) Lucky Tiger Bay Rum

    I enjoy seeing what others use. I'm always interested in knowing if any of you try to pick your cologne on the basis of the soap/cream you use?

    Well sort of, but only if I shave with the Brut soap and then I slap on the Brut...so tomorrow, I will need to shave with the Williams so I can slap on the Florida Water....sooooo...I guess you are right!

    3. Chanel Pour Monsieur
    4. Lanvin's Arprge Pour Homme
    5. Old Spice and Floris No 89 (Both remind me of my Dad, so I will always love them)

    I've recently rediscovered Guerlain's masterpiece Habit Rouge. It always seems to take me to all my best times, places, and presses all the right buttons...I'm loving it more and more each year...Its always surprising...Just today, 2 hours into the scent, I kicked back, shut my eyes and concentrated on the scent, and BAM!! It took me back to the first time I drove a mid-'60s Jaguar E-Type, and all I could smell was wood and leather...I had to smile...most of the afternoon...
