Recently, I have been asked by several different people the question, "What are you wearing?" Unremarkably it is followed up with a, "You smell really expert!" and I'll express mirth and say thank you it's ____ and go about my mean solar day.

My question is, what do you all say when y'all're wearing a niche scent or a fragrance line that is not in the forefront of men's cologne ad? I feel as though most expect you to say something similar Chanel, Polo, Armani, D&Yard, or even Yves Saint Laurent. When I reply with Creed Aventus, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, or Penhaligon'south Juniper Sling I ordinarily go a look of . Sometimes I'll get a consolatory, "Oh ok. That's stuffs really nice" when they have admittedly no inkling what I'm talking about. I've started but proverb the firm anytime I'thousand asked the question because I figure if someone actually knows (or even truly cares) and aren't just being kind they'll inquire for more specifics.

That'southward what I do also. I just say "Oh, it's just from 10."

"It's another masterpiece from the not bad Olivier Polge"

I say "Oh, thank you, it'south from an obscure British firm called Pehaligon's".

Skillful luck saying "Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier"....

"Not sure. My wife/girlfriend picked it out for me" ...... fifty-fifty though information technology's something I purchased.

I just say "it'south imported" and "no, yous can't go it at Walmart"

I usually say "Sometime Spice High Endurance deodorant, from Target". Seriously the only times I get asked, that's all it is. I've been wearing some scents lately, because of this place. And I've been wearing some loud aftershaves which at least get me through mornings. No i's asked with any of that stuff.

Why non just tell them? I am very rarely asked. Merely if they accept the time to inquire, I will take the fourth dimension to respond. Succinctly, affair of factly. Why not?

You may exist underestimating the number of folks who will recognize at to the lowest degree the brands Creed and Tom Ford.

All great points.

Tom Ford, in particular, is well known past women (he makes pretty great make up, apparently) and people who clothing glasses or sunglasses.

Say the proper name and move on....

I don't agree 100%. I remember often they do want to know, merely IF it is not not a designer name that they instantly recognize, information technology gets dicey. I've had some people insist I write it down. I've had others go into the thousand k stare.

The worst ever was when I was wearing Clive Christian X for Men. When I said I was wearing X, these two women went on a tangent about how much they liked those Axe commercials. Egads!
