Thread: Compliment

  1. #1

    Default Compliment

    Got my first "you smell good, what is that" from someone other than my wife or daughters since I started wet shaving/wearing colognes several months ago. The girl running the register at the coffee shop likes C&S Cuba :-)

    Sillage was a little high because I'd just put it on...

    Do you have a full bottle or just the sample?

    Good for you!
    It's always nice to get a compliment. :)

    I rarely get a compliment at work about my cologne or aftershave. But that's alright...
    My wife gives me a compliment every time she likes a cologne on me.
    And that is all that matters... :)

    I got the C&S sampler set, and I thought Cuba was one of the nicest of the group.

    She was half my age (probably less) and yes.

    Sabre, I've got a full bottle of Cuba. One of those frags that I couldn't get out of my mind after I sampled it.

    Hey, I know what's important...to me, at least. Besides, I'm conducting a very scientific experiment to see if the olfactory sensitivities of comely women are genetically different from those of, shall I say, homely women. And by "conducting," I mean I just thought of it when I saw this thread. But you've got to start somewhere, right?

    Excellent. Remember, age is only a number. Unless she's under 18. Then it's a jail sentence.

    Congrats on the compliment. It's nice when someone picks up on a scent you're wearing, especially if they are attractive. Happened to me once when I was wearing PdN Baladin. The woman almost jumped me because she thought I smelled so good. Unfortunately she was older than my Mother.
    Yet another memory to repress.

    See, this is the reason for my experiment. Y'all think I'm just dirty (which I don't deny), but really, I'm doing it in the name of science. Being jumped by a woman older than one's mother is traumatic. I'm trying to spare people's lives here...or at least their sanity.

    Hahahahahaha! That's hilarious.
    The formula I go by is this: divide your age by two, and add seven. Thus, a thirty year old could go for a twenty-two year old, any younger is out of bounds.

    I had a friend whose formula was, "If the grass is growing, play ball." He's not allowed to live within half a mile of schools now.
