Amazing fragrance

[notary]

AMAZING FRAGRANCE Before I start I must say I love colognes. I probably have as many fragrances as a pharmacy, more than I need and more than I can detail or itemize. We all have our compulsions for certain items, mine is cologne. I hate, I hate when you stand next to someone and you can smell the body odor, especially for those of us who work in the confines of interior spaces. As such, I love to dabble cologne on me, at several intervals throughout the day. In reiteration, I just wanted to demonstrate my love of colognes/fragrances and so as to share the following experiences with a seemingly unknown, or at least unknown to me, brand of cologne.

I was in the pharmacy and looking at the sale/discount section of the men's cologne and came across an oddly named fragrance. It is called SEXUAL SECRET MAN by Michel Germain, I was reluctant to pick it up because the name was just too much. However, as my wife and I chuckled over the peculiar name, she convinced me to try it. And you know what, we were both pleasantly surprised; the scent was amazing, and I purchased two bottles, upon my wife's suggestion. I do not want to get into a detailed description of the scent, I just want to detail the results this scent had on the people around me.

In using this cologne, I must honestly say that I received 4 compliments from ladies, in and around my place of work, excluding my wife's love of this cologne, and constant compliments for its use.

Firstly,I was at Starbuck's like any other morning getting my coffee, and an attractive middle aged lady, excuses herself and asks me what cologne I am wearing. The exact word she used was "delicious". Secondly, I was on the elevator in my building, and a mature lady, could have been my mother, told me how good I smelled and how much she enjoyed men taking pride in their grooming and appearance. Thirdly, I was standing in line at a gas station, and a mother with her two kids in front of me, turns around and asked me what I was wearing because she wanted to buy it for her husband. Finally, my partner at the office, loved how the whole office smelled like me and she wanted to know the type of cologne I was wearing. And believe it or not, this cologne was instrumental in getting me 4 compliments, in a couple of weeks, from four diverse ladies, each one having been in a different stage of their lives.

Consequently and for these reasons, I recommend the following:

1. Fragrances and colognes are important for men;
2. Do not be afraid to try newer, bolder scents or fragrances;
3. You must try the cologne herein above mentioned.

So if anyone out there has had similar experiences, if anyone cares to share their opinion of the said cologne, if anyone cares to recommend a bolder scent or if anyone just wants to discuss their love of scents and fragrances, please do not be shy, I would love to hear from you.

Happy Shaving. Sam.

My tastes in fragrances tend toward the classics, but I try to keep my mind open to testing new fragrances when they sound interesting. I have sampled and liked the original Sexual cologne. But haven't tried the one you mention.

Occasionally I hear about Michel Germain's fragrances being good bargain fragrances, and instantly wince at the names - Sexual Sugar Daddy, Sexual Secret Man etc.
I know it's wrong to judge a book by its cover but when it comes to fragrances the 'cover' is often a pretty good indicator of what the creator was going for.

There are some very good cheapies (under $20) out there, such as Worth PH, Al Rehab Silver, Horizon, Ikon.
I'd like to hear from more people that have used Germain's frags, but looking at BN and Fragrantica, there aren't many decent reviews.

What can you tell us about the scent itself, notary?

 

[The Chandos]

Yes, I have to agree with Timmy Dee. It's wrong to judge a book by its cover but for that just means ignoring the "pour elle" of many fragrances (Vetiver pour Elle by Guerlain and Maroc pour elle by Tauer immediately come to mind). One thing I do want to avoid at all costs is having to tell four ladies regardless of their age that I'm wearing Sexual Sugar Daddy or Sexual Secret Man. It's just embarrassing to have to say that. I'd be happy to say I'm wearing Barry White or something. I can't wait to answer those same ladies with Mandom! one day, though.

 

[LoveThatBurn]

Out of curiosity how much did you pay?
Judging by people's responses it seems like its something worth looking into.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it.
I have the original Sexual and quite like it.

All my life even I have equally worn good perfumes, I have never had any woman, Girl walk up to me and ask me what was I wearing . only if this was a global phenomenon,maybe it is a cultural thing hence cannot be a world phenomenon

It may have something to do with whether one is an inoffensive/nice-guy/mild-mannered/gentlemanly looking type versus an alpha/wild-boy/ I'm-on-the-hunt type, and where one is when their curiosity is stirred up, e.g. supermarket vs nightclub.

Also, don't expect much comment if wearing less than 6 sprays of most scents.
Cheers,

Are the people commenting on your fragrance in very close contact with you? Because, with all due respect, if they can smell you across a desk, for example, I think that's wearing too much fragrance--especially for work.

If five women tell you they really love the scent, I suspect as many or more didn't, but of course didn't mention it to your face. Even the greatest scent can impact someone else the wrong way.

I'm not particularly fond of "no scent" rules in offices, but I have to think they are, in large part, a reaction to people using strong fragrances with little restraint. (BTW, I'm not suggesting the OP uses his frag liberally. I'm just making a general point, now.) I do most of my work in other people's homes or offices. I typically don't use frag when I work, out of respect to the customer. If I do, it is something very mild and quickly dissipating--and I try to use very little of it. I was in a client's home when their real estate agent walked in the room. She reeked! I found it very odd that she would wear so much of a very strong scent. Doesn't she realize that, while many will compliment her on it (and as she was attractive, I'm sure some weren't telling the truth) there are also many who can't tolerate it. When she left my clients just ragged on her to no end, regarding the perfume.

Of course, when you go out, then you should be able to wear what you like. I still like to be respectful with the amount I wear--but that's a personal choice.

But glad you liked the fragrance and I may give it a sniff the next time I see it.
