I have too many smelly things and I can't possibly wear them all. I need to know which ones smell nice on me. What I need is a talking dog.
I'm occasionally called a dog when I talk, is that close enough?

Straightzi you are hired.
One thing that always gets to me though, is wondering: is perfume appropriate on girls? Like lipstick, I've always thought of lipstick as being something an adult would wear.
The great thing about cologne is that because the note combinations are nearly endless, and the market is so flooded with great options there's something for literally every taste. And there is a bounty of great stuff available on the web for remarkably cheap.
I...guess that's more than one great thing! And I like the word great!
And I'll be the first to admit that I've probably purchased more cologne than I care to admit.
Currently rockin dis, which doesn't look like it (the bottle is made of like this cheap tin) but it is the classiest shit.
Also, I'm pretty sure that's more or less how that song goes, Grey ghost
edit: That depends, Muse. How young are we talking? In general I'd say it's not inherently inappropriate for most age groups, but I've had my fair share of even grown women that can't seem to take a hint about discretion and leave the whole room reeking
I used to be a vendor for Donna Karan, and although the industry is cutthroat, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Unfortunately even now I have too many different scents in my medicine cabinet. Mainly I just wear Jean Paul Gaultier's Madame since it's pretty light.

I normally wear Burberry touch and a deodorant that matches the smell.
I used to smoke cigarettes and I would use Old spice after hours body wash, degree sport deodorant, and curve crush cologne, combined with the disgusting cigarette smell. It actually transformed what is normally an offensive odor into an excellent musky sex magnet smell. So many compliments on my smell back then.

OH GOD I JUST REMEMBERED.
WHO WAS THE GUYS THAT WAS ALL, HEY DUDES CHECK OUT MY NEW COLOGNE.
And everyone was all, ummm I think that's lady perfume. And the dude got really annoyed and defensive and somebodies mother actually used it.
They're in like two completely different smell "octaves" for one. Perfumes smell like they're waaaay up here in smelly froo froo land and cologne smells deep and almost musky.

ehhhhh, I wouldn't say the difference between men and women's fragrance are quite so polarized.
pretty much any women's scent that's not like straight up florals, I'm told can actually pass off rather decently as a unisex, and likewise for men's scents that aren't totally dry and musky.
In fact, as far as what's coming out on the market, the trend seems to be shortening the gap even further with an influx of fragrances that are sweet, fruity, and citrus-y and are marketed toward men (Aqua di Gio and Sean John Unforgivable come to mind).
Hell, take a look at this stuff. I actually own a bottle of this and it's really good, but I have a really hard time believing that the makers designed it with a male audience in mind.
Did you know that 'cologne' and 'perfume' aren't technically used to refer to the applied 'gender'? Within the industry at least,those terms are actually used to assign the strength of the fragrance (that is, how much of what's in the bottle is actual fragrance, and how much is unscented alcohol that is essentially filler)
The ones with higher strengths are called eau de parfum, and those with weaker strength eau de cologne, with eau de toilette in between (which is why you would see one of the three on most fragrance bottles)
I'm not sure when or why we started the trend of assigning them as we commonly know them, but from what I can presume, most women's scents were eau de parfum, and most men scents were eau de toilette and below, which continues to this day, which instituted a unanimous, society-wide "fuck it".
I remember there was a Seattle minipax shortly after this and we all ribbed him quite thoroughly for it
IIRC, Stale said, "Listen Sami -- I've been tricked by a lot of faggots in my time, but I've never bought goddamned women's perfume from one thinking it was cologne."

Alright, fragrance experts:
I've got Burberry Brit, and it smells amazing on me. But it's more of an evening scent, for nice clothes and going out. I want something else for wearing more often, during the day.
I want a scent that smells like chainsawing mahogany. Literally, the smell you get when you've just cut up a couple of tonnes of millends for firewood, and you're covered in sawdust. So a nice earthy wooden smell, but with a tinge of something tangier and sort of spicier, re: the chainsaw. Obviously I don't actually want to smell like chainlube, gasoline and exhaust fumes. Go go gadget suggestions! Please?

Learn something new every day. I was just about to say there should be third category just called "fragrances" or something.
If you're talking about gender-wise, there are actually some fragrances that makers label "unisex", but since there's really not enough of them out there for most department stores to justify having a "unisex" section, they end up arbitrarily placed in one or the other.

I'm far from an expert, but after some snooping around I came across Yatagan and Gucci. I'm not sure if either are what you're looking for, but both seem to be fairly well respected woodsy types that aren't terribly expensive, and at least it's a start
Virtually no "male" scent uses mahogany. The few I could come up with don't use it as a major note, so that wouldn't do you any good.
Honestly, if you want it as a day scent you'll probably be better off avoiding a woodsy scent since they can be really heavy (like orientals). Maybe try something that features vetiver (a type of grass) like 212 by Carolina Herrera, or Guerlain Vetiver.
A woodsy scent to think about might be Gucci Rush for Men. It's a bit much for me, but it's a good scent.
i picked up the spray deodorant version of this like a few years ago
i think they stopped making it but im seeing the original CIGAR online so i may look into that
edit: actually i think this is still around on some websites i dunno

There is something out there that will make you smell like exhaust fumes. This and yes, it smells downright awful.
Want it.

Once in Japanese class the kid sitting next to me leaned in to borrow a pencil and emerges with a wide grin on his face, "You smell sweet! Like Play-dough!"
"Um, what? Really?"
And then he tried to back-pedal to seem less creepy. I guess I smelled like industrial sweetness that day.

I smell so good.
we'll see if the sentiments are shared among the people that have to endure my presence.

stinky can be fixed in 10 minutes

Get some Love Spell from Victoria's Secret. It is the super best.
The bottle is gay? You should see the print ads!
