@ Wyld: There have been studies saying that smell is the sense most closely linked to memory and emotion. So you're not alone! I remember the first scent I ever designated to be my boy's scent was Armani's Acqua di Gio aftershave. The first time I met him he was wearing it and he uses it damn near daily. God forbid I walk past a man in a store wearing the same aftershave -- I have to make a conscious effort not to maul him right then and there because of that delicious smell! The only other aftershave/cologne so far that's really gotten me going I discovered when I was working at Victoria's Secret. Very Sexy for Men in the cobalt blue bottle is just... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH MINDBLOWING! I remember when we put up the father's day display, most of us had never smelled it, so out of curiosity we sprayed it on our wrists... and then spent five minutes standing there just inhaling it in, after which we then had the overwhelming urge to call our boyfriends. Managers included. [:D] I swear one of the top ingredients must be crack or something because from that point on whenever it was slow we'd all wander back over there like the monkeys to the monolith in Space Odyssey and just... mmmmm. Needless to say I bought a bottle of it for my boy, and I think it's actually replaced Gio as my absolute favorite aftershave for him, although the two smells are similar to me (VS has a slightly warmer, spicier scent than the Gio) so it's a tough call. The kicker is that the poor boy himself can't smell a damn thing. Thanks to a childhood accident his olfactory nerve is snipped cleanly in two, so he has no idea what I'm pouncing him over.
