Smelling good in the neighborhood

You know one of the things I absolutely love? I love when you walk by an attractive person , either male or female, and they smell just so……..enticing. It’s almost as if you see them in a better light. An example if you may ask- The other night I was assisting a guest at work and along with his charming and courteous personality, his cologne just really set it off. We chit-chated for a  split second, and in that mili- second I knew I was going to make sure he had a good room/stay/experience. Haha. Now don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I discriminate on looks and smells….but put the two together and it could have a positive effect….well, in my case. :D

I couldn’t help but to wonder which cologne brand it was. Maybe it was a little unprofessional of me but I had to and I did ask him which cologne he was wearing. The guest kind of chuckled and responded with ……………….”Gucci.” That was halfway helpful, but there are like 6 different ones!! I wanted to know which exact one it was!!! But can you imagine, “Sir, which Gucci? What color is the bottle? What size is it? Where was the exact location you bought it? What's the approximate price...after tax?......" Yeah, I spared the questions and decided I'll just make a trip to Sephora one day to test out the Gucci's myself......"one day" is the key word/phrase.

In the mean time, that little experience sparked my motivation to write this post of my top 10 colognes and perfumes. To much of my surprise the internet and I agreed on one particular brand.....*drum roll please*.......................Armani. Ah, yes. This is my ultimate favorite (so far.) This cologne can do no wrong AND it has the ability to even improve your number scale ( you know, "how cute is he on a scale 1-10." haha) 

Let's start on my list here----------

MICHELLE'S TOP TEN MEN COLOGNE

10. Hugo Boss- Energise

This scent is simple, not too strong or too light.

9. Calvin Klein- CK One

Ah, yes. This cologne is a classic. It can be worn on men or women.

8. Liz Claiborne- Curve

Although too many teenage boys wear this (including my first love in high school) it has a very warm inviting smell to it. Not too "old manish" for a teenage boy and still good enough for an adult.(I even bought it for my dad and brother) At only coming in for $10 (for the smallest size) this cologne smells like much more and will bring you many more as well....hahaha. ^_-

7. Dolce & Gabbana- Light Blue

This cologne is PERFECT-O for the summer. Smells so fresh and clean.

6. Givenchy- Pi

Now this one is a warm scent. It's perfect for fall and winter. This is Anthony's favorite.
5.Armani- Acqua Di Gio

Another great summer scent but with just a little more "umpf" to it. Perfect for going out with that special someone.
4. Burberry- Touch

This cologne is another casual scent where it can be worn any season and anytime.

3. Armani- Black Code

This one is the "darker" version of Acqua. This too can be worn as a casual.

2. Sean John- Unforgivable

I'm not really into celebrity scents but Sean aka P. Diddy has a good nose. (no wonder he has 6 kids from all different mothers....hehe) The scent is very "expensive" smelling and definitely worth the $50!

1. Armani- Emporio

Tah-Dah!!!! This is my personal favorite!! I believe with this cologne there's a 90% chance you'll get "dessert" after your date. Hahaha. It smells so......manly and r-o-m-a-n-t-i-c. ^_^  I love this cologne sooo much that I have this scent embedded in my brain. Whenever another guy passes me by wearing it, it always makes me turn around to take a glimpse of who this "good taste in cologne" guy and what he looks like. If you're on a tight budget for cologne Abercrombie actually has a similar cologne called Fierce. Although, it's not t-h-a-t much cheaper (like Curve) you can still save around $15-$25 depending on what size you get.
