Match a scent with your profession

[David57]

See where this goes.
PDman says Stan Lee Cologne looks like an ad for dirty old men.(picture in another thread)
Leasure Suit Larry would wear what scent?
In an elevator I would spray what scent on a non bather.
What colognes remind you of someone a long time ago.
the lady in the commercial sprites the Viking s with what perfume.
what is the worst comment you ever made to a store clerk about a cologne?

I'll bite. I'm an Engineer and I almost never wear cologne, but on the rare occasions I do it is Clinique Chemistry. Only scent I can stand for more than a few minutes, although I have some Green Irish Tweed type shaving soap which makes me think I would like to try it out.

i'll play. i'm a carpenter. i have used chanel sport and bleu for a long while now. i'll go with worst comment about a cologne. a lady approached me at the mall a while back and asked me to give her my opinion on some scents. i'm 27. her choices for me to try were all the classic "old man smells". i asked her did she think i was preparing for my own funeral. not that this was a inappropriate comment or even that bad but the look on this lady's face was great. why would you approach a younger man with an older scent. dont get me wrong, i like some classic scents but jeez, most younger guys are lookin for gio or nautica. something along those lines. mind you i don't look 27 either. so it's not like i sport a full beard and look way older, i have a baby face. i dont know how long she would last there esp if you can't get the basic age group:cologne down.

I work in a power plant, so I will have to go with ELDO Fat Electrician...

Recently I became a civil servant, therefore 'Nameless' would fit me fine I think.

Leisure suit larry lol. From the 80's right? 10+ sprays of One Man Show or Kouros.

Maybe a little hard on the perfume lady... I didn't know there were older and younger scents... I usually go for something that smells good to me...

 

[David57]

What about Al Bundy going into a biker bar looking for a guy wearing Obsession For Men.
this is what I first thought of at the start and was wondering if anyone would recall it.
did not want to lead with it.

You should qualify that a little better... "old man scents" is pretty vague. And personally i have learned my lesson about what one might consider "old Man". Case in point - Eau Savage by Dior... The juice is older than I am, but I wore it yesterday and received many compliments from all the younger women I work with. To be fair the stuff is really classy/classic scent wise, and maybe a bit animalic. Green Irish Tweed is really old, and really good. Acqua di Parma Colonia (1916) really really old is a favorite among many here... just to name a few.

Diesel fuel, dust, grease and sweat...knize ten?

This even harder than thinking what to wear when at work. Some professions and places in combination dodge any kind of personality.

I work at "Big Blue", so whatever I choose, it should come in a blue bottle lol

I work in forensic science...luckily, I don't believe there is a cadaver scent.

I got to tell you - Trumper's Eucris is pretty grim stuff!

You know, this thread actually raises an important subject for people like myself who are in sales. The fragrance you wear can be a powerful tool. I manage 2000 accounts but have about 30 key accounts, which is a small enough number that I know the purchasers for those accounts, and I match the frag I wear to the purchaser I have an appointment with. The more the buyer enjoys the visit, the longer the visit lasts and the better the chance that you get a favorable result. I often get compliments on my fragrance selection, particularly when the buyer is female. Often enough that I'm convinced that it gives me an advantage.

I work in IT, is there a Microsoft scent?

I like the idea of this thread but think it would be easier/more fun to match a profession(s) to a scent.
