Yes, I was joking. It is a bit back to basics and dated, although still around I think. But all these flash modern "ultra-sports" brands are probably just as bad and far less effective (deliberately, so you have to use more!)

So what makes you go weak at the knees? Odour-wise I mean.

I've always liked Brut, but I thought it was a bit 70s. Is it still popular?

Trouble is fruity perfumes are widely considered a bit unsophisticated, putting it mildly, i.e. teenager or younger.

Anyway, wasn't the original question about deodorants for guys? I'd recommend Brut, can't beat it

Not deodorants, but eau de cologne or whatever they call it these days. I can't use deodorants which contain alcohol, it irritates my skin.

I've often thought it would be nice to smell of raspberries or passionfruit. Squashing raspberries on my wrist only lasts for a little while, but it does smell lovely.

Wouldn't that look like a failed suicide attempt?

I strongly suspect the summer doo is gonna absolutely stench of Hugo Boss ... (Excepting me of course).

Stuff I wear, my sis never would dream of wearing and if she did - it wouldn't smell the same...

I hope we're still takling about perfume, here.

Those pheromone oils work well too. Just a couple 'o' dabs and

I'm not sure the vomeronasal organ and related bits of the brain work quite like that. More likely to be a placebo confidence builder IMO.

In case I start dating in the near future, can any of you ladies recommend a male cologne that makes you go weak at the knees?

Why not try chloroform on a handkerchief - that makes women weak at the knees.

Ah, happy days!
