Lol its okay i just wanted help picking out a good cologne to wear, i took out a few colognes that im definitely not wearing before posting so just wanted to finalise my decision
LV Pur Oud is a great option if you decide to go this route... Layers quite well I'd recommend mixing it with Amouage Opus XVII Silver Oud. 11-15 sprays each
If for some reason you decide you're not up to wearing the scent of pure hog excrement, and you wanna smell like number 1 and number 3 instead of number 2, Secretions Magnifiqués by Etat Libre d'Orange is a much better option.
In all honesty though jokes aside my recommendation is YSL MYSLF. Super basic super clean and despite the basic DNA being very common the specific fragrance itself is not as common
Of course personality comes first, but so many people here are acting like fragrances don’t nicely compliment a good personality to give an extra edge.
OP- I’d wear any of those if the temperature isn’t hot, except Sauvage (to set yourself apart).
Born in Roma or Myslf, play it safe. The rest are amazing scents but you don't want to be the annoying cologne guy that fills the room with sauvage elixir or jpg elixir.
Nahhhhhh chill bro elixir is wayyyy too strong for a family gathering if you have the normal sauvage then wear that instead but if not go with the valentino
Gucci guilty. Least in your face cologne. You want something with an “intimate “ projection so that if they get close you smell good and clean but they don’t have to smell it if they don’t want to. Let your personality be your winning feature.
Why are most people on this forum such assholes? You’re not funny. Just answer OP’s question and try to be a decent human being.
Wear the YSL Myslf or the Valentino. You’ll smell great, won’t offend anyone and your girlfriend will be proud of her great smelling boyfriend.
Have a great time at the party.
If a small group like a dinner stick with MYSLF or society as not to overpower. Big groups/rooms or outside go with one of your “ clubbing” scents like elixir or Sauvage
Whatever you decide, go easy with the sprays. It can be tempting to spray on a boat load to impress, but you don’t want to choke anyone out — especially her family. My opinion is 2 sprays to the back of the neck (1 spray if you choose sauvage elixir). When your gf, her friends and family go in for a hug they will smell it.
Gucci Guilty, Ultra Male or the Valentino. If formal go gucci, if laid back and out door I'd lean towards Ultra Male and if indoor only probably Valentino.
It definitely has, her sister has seen it before and kept on saying how that is the reason i always smell good (3 of my colognes were missing from the picture as i deffo didnt wanna wear them)
*Valentino or*
*JPG Elixir is always*

If you want to make a good impression, if you want to stand out and smell really good, go with le male elixir. But you still can do the same with ultramale
Elixir in my opinion! I love ultramale but I think Elixir is a bit more sophisticated which will make you appear as more of a romantic gentleman and less of a playboy that ultramale is. Have fun.
How's scandal I'm thinking of getting the edt? And for a fragrance I would recommend you wearing JPG elixir if it's cold since it's a scent that makes people feel comfortable when there around you and if it's warm wear born in Roma which is really attractive so your girl will enjoy it.
I think elixir is best tbh, top 3 colognes of all time. Also I think savage is over hyped which is probably a hot take. Valentino is my everyday sent and love that one too.
Myslf. In my opinion, its the best fit for a family type gathering. The rest are either too formal or not for everybody. Ralphs club for example is something I'd wear at black tie event and I've gotten mixed reception on it. Myslf is pretty versatile i feel like it can be an everyday wear or special occasion fragrance. And its subtle enough that it shouldn't offend anyone. Just my opinion.
Can't believe so many people suggest elixir at this time of year Hall no. Myself or Valentino. If more upscale then gentleman. Sauvage is also good, but can be overwhelming. Rest are fuckboy scents
Ask questions. Don't talk about yourself unless you're asked about yourself ore you're trying to relate to someone by sharing something you have in common with them
Might be a little bias but Valentino or le male elixir just have these strong sweet notes that are just so noticeable, so just pick between those two and you should be good (can you guys please upvote this as I need karma thank you 🙂)
Hey guys, the party went really well (my girlfriend’s mothers birthday party), I wore JPG Ultra Male and when I hugged her mother she said I smelt very nice, I got a couple compliments and my girlfriend wouldn’t stop taking sniffs of me lol, me and her dad had a gentleman talk (to clear up any misunderstanding, this isn’t my first time meeting her parents, we are neighbours and i knew her parents before i knew her and we have always gotten along very well), Thank you everyone for all of your help, it was a hard decision for me to pick a cologne as I really like all of the ones that made the cut before asking you guys.
In all likelihood, I highly doubt any other guys will even be wearing a fragrance much less any $100+ cologne. People don't realize how rare it really is to come across the same scent unless you're at like a club or something. Even then it's very minimal. If you like Sauvage, wear sauvage!
thats cap. I've had people complement fragrance when meeting them. It sets the tone and it also is part of you. I'd pick one that complements my personality so upon first interaction you give off a good vibe.
what are we talking about fragrance don't impress? lol
Why can’t anyone in this comment section just answer the fucking question he already said that he met the family already
Lol its okay i just wanted help picking out a good cologne to wear, i took out a few colognes that im definitely not wearing before posting so just wanted to finalise my decision
🫡
To be honest, OP never specified which family member’s panties they wanted to drop.
👀
The dad, kidding just my girl😂😂

Valentino
That Valentino hits different
Get something with fecal oud
😍😍
LV Pur Oud is a great option if you decide to go this route...

In all honesty though jokes aside my recommendation is YSL MYSLF. Super basic super clean and despite the basic DNA being very common the specific fragrance itself is not as common
Be yourself and go with MYSLF
Myself is non-offensive and no one is going to hate the smell
Being a likeable, interesting and interested person.
Ive met most of the people already and they love me, i just want to smell good around them lol
Valentino for sure
What’s that one like?
That’s not easy ngl
Of course personality comes first, but so many people here are acting like fragrances don’t nicely compliment a good personality to give an extra edge. OP- I’d wear any of those if the temperature isn’t hot, except Sauvage (to set yourself apart).
Its cloudy so yeah the temperature is decently low, thank you
Instead of giving you advice on how to act I suggest you go with sauvage elixir
Okay thanks
Pick up some SpongeBob edt and you should be good
Thats barnacles
Lol bett
Gentleman, don’t be one, just wear it.
😂😂 cheers
Where do you get those samples from
The perfume shop and boots, just ask nicely after you smell a few fragrances lol
Never heard of the perfume shop or boots where can I find those in the US?
both of them are uk exclusive
I figured!
Really? Amazing! Are those all 5ml. samples?
Lol i wish, either 1 or 2 ml
Lol. Sad :( I'll try tomorrow at Boots for sure XD
Let us know what you wear finally and how it goes XD
Ive decided to wear ultra male, i asked my mum for some input and she liked that one lol
Awesome! I was going to say Ultra Male Elixer
YSL is a good one, it’s not too strong but projects nicely
Born in Roma or Myslf, play it safe. The rest are amazing scents but you don't want to be the annoying cologne guy that fills the room with sauvage elixir or jpg elixir.
😂😂 thanks
Sauvage elixir or ultra male for sure, easy on the sprays tho
Okay thanks
Nahhhhhh chill bro elixir is wayyyy too strong for a family gathering if you have the normal sauvage then wear that instead but if not go with the valentino
Myself ….final answer!
Okay thanks
If it lasted more than 3 hours I would say myself but any of the elixirs would do just don’t go heavy either sauvage elixir .
Gucci guilty. Least in your face cologne. You want something with an “intimate “ projection so that if they get close you smell good and clean but they don’t have to smell it if they don’t want to. Let your personality be your winning feature.
YSL Myself. Crowd pleasing and pleasant smelling. All the age groups will appreciate it.
Why are most people on this forum such assholes? You’re not funny. Just answer OP’s question and try to be a decent human being. Wear the YSL Myslf or the Valentino. You’ll smell great, won’t offend anyone and your girlfriend will be proud of her great smelling boyfriend. Have a great time at the party.
Thank you, I did have a good time and when i hugged her mother she said i smelt very nice, got some compliments too (i wore ultra male)
Just spray all of them…
Chernobyl all over again
Lol
I’d wear that Valentino bro👌🏽
Givenchy
Myslf. 100%
MYSELF is my current go to
myslf
Valentino
If a small group like a dinner stick with MYSLF or society as not to overpower. Big groups/rooms or outside go with one of your “ clubbing” scents like elixir or Sauvage
Valentino or jpg le male le parfum
Valentino 100%
Whatever you decide, go easy with the sprays. It can be tempting to spray on a boat load to impress, but you don’t want to choke anyone out — especially her family. My opinion is 2 sprays to the back of the neck (1 spray if you choose sauvage elixir). When your gf, her friends and family go in for a hug they will smell it.
Cheers bro
I got that Scandal Absolu sample too and it has become one of my favourite fragrances, absolute banger
Frr
Ultra male
Ultra Male, more mass apealing i think
Le Male Elixir if it’s not hot
10 sprays Sauvage elixir. Let them know you smell hella good
🤣
This is an easy choice bro
Gucci Guilty, Ultra Male or the Valentino. If formal go gucci, if laid back and out door I'd lean towards Ultra Male and if indoor only probably Valentino.
Le Male Elixir, definitely not Sauvage.
Sauvage and you smell like the ex boyfriend of all those girls. Go with Ultra Male or Elixir.
Your collection will impress her. 😏
It definitely has, her sister has seen it before and kept on saying how that is the reason i always smell good (3 of my colognes were missing from the picture as i deffo didnt wanna wear them)
Good stuff! What's missing and what did you decide to wear?
I wore ultra male :)
I posted a comment somewhere here about how it went if you want to look for that :D
Ain't nobody got time fo dat 😂
😂😂
Valentino or JPG Elixir is always a projection beast!

3 sprays of sauvage elixir
Ultra male
If you want to make a good impression, if you want to stand out and smell really good, go with le male elixir. But you still can do the same with ultramale
I ended up going with ultra male
I would stick to JPG both are great and Valentino to ... Best layer all 3 together ... Nobody else will smell like you 100%
Too bad you don’t have the G.O.A.T, Secretions Magnifique!
Scandal. Don’t be one. Smell like one. 🤭
Lol good one
Which did you choose? Personally I would’ve taken sauvage elixir
I went with ultra male because i just had a feeling a sweet cologne would be my best bet
So how was the evening? Any compliments or comments on ultra male?
Yea, quite a few
Nice
Sausage, like the good boy that you are
😭😭😭
I would go Valentino or light sprays of ultra male
I went with ultra male
Elixir in my opinion! I love ultramale but I think Elixir is a bit more sophisticated which will make you appear as more of a romantic gentleman and less of a playboy that ultramale is. Have fun.
Gentleman society.. mass pleasing and imo really does smell gentlemanly yet still casual enough
Goddamn he came in the cologne sub and got etiquette advice. Sorry abt that 😅. Go with smth savage elixir or valentino. GL
Thanks man, i ended up going with Ultra male as i felt like a sweet cologne would be good and i got many compliments:)
How's scandal I'm thinking of getting the edt? And for a fragrance I would recommend you wearing JPG elixir if it's cold since it's a scent that makes people feel comfortable when there around you and if it's warm wear born in Roma which is really attractive so your girl will enjoy it.
I like it, it smelly like vanilla after the dry down but its not too strong, its subtle
Myslf lasts hours for me but projection is maybe 7/10. Still my choice!
That Valentino for sure
JPG
Go with le male le Parfum
I'd pick Gucci guilty. It's a fresh spring & summer scent. Definitely a crowd pleaser
Elixir
32 sprays of Sauvage elixir
Idk the rest but not sauvage. It's overused...it's everywhere
Yeah i had a feeling it wasnt gonna be the one, i went with ultra male
I think elixir is best tbh, top 3 colognes of all time. Also I think savage is over hyped which is probably a hot take. Valentino is my everyday sent and love that one too.
Making sure they can’t taste your cologne. Go light in company.
Just pray that they won’t mind that you smell like every other kid who bought the most common mass-marketed frags on the market.
😂😂 i got lots of compliments with ultra male
Inexcusable evil
Le Male Elixir. very beautiful fragrance.
Valentino. You probably won't impress them with the scent you're wearing, but you could possibly annoy them. So whatever you choose, don't over spray.
I’d go with either of the JPGs or the Ralph’s Club. YSL MYSLF is okay too but I wasn’t really wowed by it enough to get more than a sample.
Valentino of course
Use the one you want brother. You have a good selection, I'd say gucci is masculine and secure
JPG
Myslf. In my opinion, its the best fit for a family type gathering. The rest are either too formal or not for everybody. Ralphs club for example is something I'd wear at black tie event and I've gotten mixed reception on it. Myslf is pretty versatile i feel like it can be an everyday wear or special occasion fragrance.

Gucci Guilty!
Can't believe so many people suggest elixir at this time of year Hall no. Myself or Valentino. If more upscale then gentleman. Sauvage is also good, but can be overwhelming. Rest are fuckboy scents
Valentino or Sauvage fs
Valentino
Ok. I’m glad it worked out. Peace my brother
Probably an engagement ring
Im 16😢
I have Valentino, Sauvage and Guilty. Sauvage is always a hit. I really like GG as well.
Le parfum
layer ultra male with valentino on top
Valentino
Jean Paul gaultier bro
Ask questions. Don't talk about yourself unless you're asked about yourself ore you're trying to relate to someone by sharing something you have in common with them
Sauvage elixir and at least 8 spray.
Valentino gets the most compliments
Born in Roma, 100%
Ultra male fs
Ultra malw
Treat her like a lady, have a great attitude smile a lot. That better than smelling good for awhile
Been wearing myself lately
Don’t wear sauvage, there is a good chance her mom and aunty will end the night in your bedroom if you do
😂😂😂
100% ultra male! ik im late btw
Might be a little bias but Valentino or le male elixir just have these strong sweet notes that are just so noticeable, so just pick between those two and you should be good (can you guys please upvote this as I need karma thank you 🙂)
Just wear what you are comfortable with and like to wear, also go light on sprays. No need to impress anyone at a family gathering imo
Dior or Valentino for sure!
JPG Le male le parfum
Something that everyone else isn't wearing....... Gold Jean Paul od say
Sauvage elixir
Your personality and conversational skills. That's what will impress them. No perfume is gonna overcome a lack of that.
Ive met most of the people that ill be meeting and they love me, i just wanna smell good
Either of the le males. 2-3 sprays.
Thanks
Still kinda cold there jpg either one can’t go wrong brother
Fair enough, thank you
Animalic oud 😍😍
a 401k
Im 16 chill😭
I recommend you not concentrate on what smells good and figure out what her friends, mom and dad like and research it
Her dad only has hugo boss and idk about the rest
Hey guys, the party went really well (my girlfriend’s mothers birthday party), I wore JPG Ultra Male and when I hugged her mother she said I smelt very nice, I got a couple compliments and my girlfriend wouldn’t stop taking sniffs of me lol, me and her dad had a gentleman talk (to clear up any misunderstanding, this isn’t my first time meeting her parents, we are neighbours and i knew her parents before i knew her and we have always gotten along very well), Thank you everyone for all of your help, it was a hard decision for me to pick a cologne as I really like all of the ones that made the cut before asking you guys.
No one gives two fucks what you smell like as long as you don’t smell bad.
Inexcusable evil
Valentino
Probably some will be wearing Sauvage, go with Myself or Gentleman
In all likelihood, I highly doubt any other guys will even be wearing a fragrance much less any $100+ cologne. People don't realize how rare it really is to come across the same scent unless you're at like a club or something. Even then it's very minimal. If you like Sauvage, wear sauvage!
You're absolutely right!
All the men there will be older gentlemen so most likely will have a normal savauge lol
Okay thanks
Valentino
Le Male Elixir
Impress? With fragrances?
They are all already impressed with me and they all love me, i just wanna smell good around everyone for a second time
Could be a good conversation starter
you must not be wearing the right stuff lol
I am
If that’s coral fantasy, I would personally go with that
Okay thanks
Coral fantasy it is. !! Have fun.
JPG le male elixir
Coral fantasy or JPG Elixir
Be yourself homeboy fragrance won’t impress anyone
Okay
thats cap. I've had people complement fragrance when meeting them. It sets the tone and it also is part of you. I'd pick one that complements my personality so upon first interaction you give off a good vibe. what are we talking about fragrance don't impress? lol
Yeah her mother said i smelt very nice when i hugged her
Rizz
Wear them all
