How much money do cologne/perfume companies make…


Nov 23, 2021, 1:37 PM

That they only have to advertise during November and December? And why do they hire the absolute worst ad companies? Every commercial make me feel like some kind of pedo!

Do guys actually wear cologne any longer?


Nov 23, 2021, 1:38 PM

Seems kind of cheesy.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-jospehg.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I mostly wear soap and toothpaste.


Nov 23, 2021, 1:43 PM

I dabble in mouthwash. I have tried body sprays a couple of times in my life but they were all too strong. I’d rather hide my addiction behind my natural sweat and stank.

What about when you're at the club?

Clubman vanilla after shave lotion is the closest thing I have to cologne


Nov 23, 2021, 2:59 PM [ in reply to Do guys actually wear cologne any longer? ]

Have to use something since I shave with a double edge safety razor. That burn is my fix every morning.

I see all these new after shave lotions that advertise that they don't burn. What's the point of that?

This still gets all the women moist, 30 years later.

I looked that up to see if it's still being sold.

How big of a bottle do you want?

Its typically a triple digit margin


Nov 23, 2021, 1:52 PM

celebrities like a Kardashian or a Britney Spears kind usually fetch less, like into the 70's due to royalties and such. Its an awesome business and why places like Ulta and Sephora are kicking tail, especially Ulta.

I'll bite---Why?


Nov 23, 2021, 4:00 PM

You being mathematically or linguistically nuanced with this one?

Why can't something be sold at a 200% profit margin over cost?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


It can be sold at a 1000% markup over cost


Nov 23, 2021, 9:53 PM

But profit margin would only be 99.9%

At 10,000% markup profit margin would be 99.99%

Product has a cost of $1 and is sold for $10,000. Profit is $9,999. $9,999 / $10,000 = 99.99%. If product has a cost - which every product has - profit margin cannot be 100% let alone greater than.

Ahhh, ok, fair point. I was guilty I suppose of using

margin and markup synonymously.

I'll buy something from Burberry or something noveau posh


Nov 23, 2021, 3:00 PM

But for some reason, my Dad's old bottle of Davidoff Cool Water doesn't seem to pull like it used to. I think for guys it depends the brand.

Have you tried English Leather?

British Sterling, Canoe, Jade East, and my fallback...Old Spice.

Re: I'll buy something from Burberry or something noveau posh


Nov 24, 2021, 10:54 AM

My Dad had Old Spice and English Leather as options. He paired whichever one with Speed Stick lime deodorant. He was a real renaissance man. He might even add some powder. Head and shoulders shampoo with Dial bar soap as well. He always did the same since I was very small. I remember those because it never changed. That's a lot of smells going on.

I've never bought a bottle of cologne in my life


Nov 24, 2021, 10:44 AM

every one I have has been a gift. And they are all still full bottles.

I don't really see the point if you shower every morning. Aftershave, I can understand, and have used, esp with the rare electric razor shave, to keep the skin from getting ashy and dry.

Cologne reminds me of old bosses I've had in the past whose offices reeked of Old Spice or English Leather or something.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I fought long and hard for a fragrance free office


Nov 24, 2021, 4:14 PM

best thing that ever happened.

Some stuff will give me headache, etc. and put me down for a day or more. Should be outlawed.

I remember seeing a BOD for men body spray commercial and buying some of it. It came in a spray bottle that looked like a windex bottle. The fragrance was “really ripped abs” lol.
