But you guys already knew that. What many of you DON’T know is what kinds of cologne women prefer. You are 100% correct. However, it's tough to find the colognes that work with the Ladies. I had a girlfriend that went wild whenever I wore Drakkar and another when I wore Sexual by Michel Germain. The best thing you can do, and this is a great idea for a date as well guys, is to take them to a place where you can sample perfumes and find the one that they love. When you get out of college you will learn that you will need more than one cologne for various occasions. One for work, one for summer, one to wear out, one to wear that that certain 'someone' just loves and so on... Anyways, great write up John! Regarding the following comment:

Moving beyond common scents is a good first step, because the sense-memory benefits of scent aren't really going to help you out if you smell like that other guy she hooked up with. You might also consider looking into two different fragrances - a clean, daytime scent for casual encounters, and a heavier, muskier scent, which girls may not say they like when asked, but they actually will like for biological reasons involving similar phermone scents or something, for "going out". (I read about this in a men's magazine on an airplane, so this might also be lies.) Also, don't use smelly soap or deodorant with cologne, or you're making a mistake. Finally, spraying cologne on the back of your neck leaves a scent trail that will let more people smell your scent without being within hugging distance. ... Sorry.
