Many classics have been mentioned - any of them would be worth a try. Etro Vetiver is uncompromising and quite pungent.
Guerlain Vetiver, Vetiver extreme, or Vetiver sport. Clean and utterly masculine, and purchased in large amounts by women. Another excellent cult-status contemporary masculine is Terre D'Hermes. Try to get an earlier bottle of Terre D'Hermes before the sour grapefruit peel took over. earlier bottles are heavy on the FLINT. Yes, FLINT.Any ideas for a "manly" cologne for me?

But really... how about Joop, it's definately a unique scent!
Now thats how you properly get your woman in check. It could leave her thinking about what you said and what a man you are,or have you wondering where your going to sleep next! lmao that was a classic reply loved it!I'd sit her down and tell her this:
"You think that the cologne I'm wearing is girly? I'll tell you what girly is. It's letting my wife make me feel guilty about how I look or what I do. That's girly. But I'm not girly. I'm a man and a man has to make his own way in the world. If I'm wearing it or I'm doing it, it's not girly. It's manly."
Educate, don't capitulate.
Just don't push it by showing up for breakfast in an angora sweater and pearls. I can't help you with that.
Taylor's Mr. Taylor!
So, pretty much any cologne that I like, my wife disses are being too "girly."
Any ideas for a "manly" cologne for me?
One other thing I might recommend is to take your wife with you to a high end department store or even a Sephora. Have her sniff various fragrances until she finds 3-5 that she likes (granted sniffing them on the paper strips is nothing like actually wearing them). Write down the names of those fragrances, then head to Basenotes to research them. You can find the notes that are in them, then look for other fragrances with those same notes, which she should also like.
Just a quick 3rd for Givenchy Gentleman. Don't think it could POSSIBLY be taken for girly, heh.
