Are you an olfactory offender? Does your scent offend even the slightest movement in the room to get away from you?

Regardless of how manly you might think you smell by not showering for weeks after rugging through the forest, if your stench is unacceptable in social norms, be prepared to be isolated, rejected, or be asked to leave pronto.

Let’s face it, would you want to be locked in a room with some smelly bum who looks like he has dirt and feces smeared all over himself? Yes, that is a rhetorical question.

It’s time to get with the modern times, gentlemen. Welcome to the 21st century, where real men are well-groomed champs to stand out more desirably from their unkempt counterpart chumps.

Whether you are looking for something strong or something that is lightweight, by focusing on the ideal fragrance for nearly every occasion that you can get involved with will allow you to set your best foot forward no doubt.

Another original one? Yes, Original Blend by Original Penguin is made for those wanting to have a fun time, meeting new people, or going on dates with someone special. This is a wonderful cologne for men. It has an approachable, easy-to-work-with fruit and fir blend that is nothing short of stellar. It can enhance and make any encounter memorable.

– Aventus by Creed

Now fellows, things are about to get real…like REAL real…we’re talking about Aventus by Creed. If you aren’t familiar with Creed, who could blame you because it’s definitely not mainstream, being reserved for those of the upper-tier echelon. Creed is the reigning king for men’s cologne out there, and its Aventus offers a distinct complex smell that captivates any room’s attention that can be described as uniquely fruity then becomes earthly woody mixed with manly musk that can lasts on you for days, making it the highest concentration of fragrance oil you can get. Don’t get excited just yet because this bad boy is the MOST EXPENSIVE cologne out there costing on average in the $300 range for a 1.7-ouce bottle; and if anything cheaper, it’s bound to be an attempted knockoff. So if you really want the authentic Aventus experience, make sure you get it from reputable sellers only because it is a luxury item and only a few stores carry it. The price is worth it if you can afford it and really want to smell the best to stand out from the crowd. If you want to feel power and be on top of the world in your high-fly Italian-striped suit around other high rollers, Creed will make you feel like an upgraded new man in that elitist high society. Have it lying on your coffee table or bathroom shelf, and when you have guests over, with one sight at this bottle they will know that you are some high power status symbol. So good luck with this one!
