My daily wear “light” scent is Lauder’s Pleasures for Men. My heavier scent (better for when wearing heavy clothing or dancing or something) is Calvin Klein’s Euphoria Men.

I know both work on me; my ex-girlfriend would lean in to me on lunch dates, take a whiff of the Pleasures, and tell me I smelled nice. On nights out on the town, she’d have me up against the wall, dig her face in, inhale the Euphoria deeply, then attack me in a good way. 😉

> [Similar thread from last year](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=617336&highlight=McGraw). That one gave me a few ideas. I tried Cool Water by Davidoff, and the wife really liked it.

That’s also where I learned of Mania by Armani. The wife likes that too.

Beautiful Love by Estee Lauder.

As far as colognes go for men, anything but patchouli.
