Ladies and Polo Cologne

December 6, 2002

Yall just blew everything out the window. I was going to get a bottle of

Polo Sport for X-Mas. I use to wear Polo years ago and love the aroma.

However it is not as (well maybe that's not so) important as what the ladies

think. So....Polo, not good? or good? or do they use animal products in

it or something?

I have to say, the best responses I get is when I wear French Vanilla Oil.

The comments are a riot. " You smell like cookies! " " Did someone bring

muffins? " " Wow, it smells like pancakes in here. " Heh, poor devils never

knew what hit them.

Anyway, any cologne advice would be appreciated....Gee, I guess this is just

a touch off-topic......soooooo...umm.....everyone eat your veggies.

Here is the recipe I used for cranberry sauce this year. My Mother is

absolutely addicted to the stuff, and I am a new fan of zesting. I used

orange zest in a pumpkin cheesecake I made as well. Really really good.

Babbling as usual,

Shawn

The addition of fresh orange pieces is a lovely variation on the holiday

condiment. Begin two hours or up to three days ahead.

1 12-ounce bag cranberries

1 cup sugar

1 cup fresh orange juice

1 teaspoon grated orange peel

1 medium seedless orange, all peel and pith cut away, fruit diced

3/4 cup walnuts, toasted, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Combine first 4 ingredients in medium saucepan; bring to boil over medium

heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook until cranberries are tender and

mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

Mix in orange pieces and walnuts. Transfer to bowl. Cover and chill until

cold, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

" If, at first, you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment. "

" If, at first, you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. "

" The last four letters in " American " spell out " I Can " . "

" Everything's ok in the end, if it's not ok, it's not the end. "

Ha! That's funny - yes, polo is a nasty men's cologne

but since it is made by Ralph Lauren, I don't think

it's cheap. Even though it should be:) (Please

forgive me gentlemen if any of you wear this).

Yes, I would consider those that partake in eating

poultry and/or fish semi vegetarians. When I first

made the transition, I still ate fish but felt I

couldn't really call myself vegetarian b/c of that -

so I threw that out as well. However, if I were to

eat meat, that would be my choice b/c I can actually

kill fish and have in the past. I would theoretically

only eat what I could kill. Couldn't kill anything

that clucks,quacks,squeals or moos.

Warmly,

Allison

LMAO! Truthfully Shawn, I can't really recall what Polo smells like;

I was

being cheeky. Personally, I wear patchouli all the time, and folks

either love or

hate that scent. I think if you want to attract the ladies your

vanilla scent is

the best plan. I remember reading a report on scent and how it

arouses

people and vanilla, cinnamon and fresh baked bread were the big

winners in

that department. Remeber the movie 'Michael' with John Travola? I

think he

smelled like a fresh baked cookie and the women were flocking to him.

*lol*

Your recipe for cranberry sauce sounds good. I wonder if those little

mandarin oranges would work well in this recipe? Opening a can of

those

would be way easier than peeling an orange and getting rid of all the

stuff.

Man, do I sound lazy or what? *lol*

Polo was what all the guys in Junior High wore and I

grew so very tired of it! It was 15 + years ago and

I'm still not over the scent. But it's not all that

bad. I'm with PT, I like oils myself. And yes, sweet

smells attract the females...So do earthy smells like

sandalwood. However, if you want cologne...I'm really

partial to Catalyst. It's nice and spicey! And a

little goes a long way...Which is good b/c it's not

cheap. There's a couple others that make my heart

thump a little faster but I don't know the brands.

Warmly,

Allison

My hubby always has " success " if he's wearing

Preferred Stock. However, we're big fans of the

unisex colognes. They might cost more. But we can

both wear them.

Funny story regarding perfumes: I had a male

friend one time who bought himself a bottle of White

Diamonds. He thought he was buying men's cologne

because Burt Renyold's was in the commercial. (At

least I think it was White Diamonds. It was some

women's perfume by Liz Taylor.)

I hope I'm a lady.

I'm violently allergic to perfumes/colognes/scents - they

give me a blinding sinus headache - so bad that I cannot do

anything except lie down in the dark with hot washcloths

over my eyes. I buy everything possible (clothes detergent,

shampoo, hand lotion, etc.) 'unscented'.

So if I were a young lady and you were trying to impress me,

it's best not to use any of them. I'd guess this would be

the safest policy in general.

Yes, I think vanilla is the one to choose...I have a vanilla scented perfume

(from the Body Shop for anyone in the UK) and whenever I wear it people (read

men LOL) do seem to find it attractive. Mind you, so do bees!

" Polo was what all the guys in Junior High wore and I

LOL, we must have attended the same school. I still have that ol' green

bottle and the free laundry (well that's what I use it for anyway) bag that

came with it. Thanks for the advice on the oil scents and Catalyst. I

think it's the time of year to go raiding all the department stores of their

free cologne samples. I'll just show up with my stocking, I think, and

start stuffin those buggers in there.

It's getting a bit chilly down here. I love it.

Cheers,

Shawn

Hi Pat,

Sorry that happens to you. That must get very frustrating. I think some

aromas can also alter ones emotion chemically. If someone is wearing alot

of perfume, I immediately become annoyed. I even had a boss in which on a

couple of occasions yelled at someone when that person walked into the same

room as her, wearing alot of perfume. You could tell it was an immediate

reaction as soon as the perfume hit her sense of smell. Alright, LOL, I'll

stop boring you with all this since the reactions that you get are a billion

times worse. Take care.

It's OK now that I'm not working, but it was annoying when I

worked. I occasionally had to ask co-workers not to wear

perfume, which didn't really endear me to some of them.

I really think that what people do on their own time is

their own business, but a shared workplace is no place for

perfume - just the same as smoking.

Hey guys!

I'm usually just a lurker--actually a mom who homeschools and just

doesn't have time to form a coherent sentence--but I've been watching

the cologne series with a smile on my face. Since we are all about

recipes here and have gotten to the cologne topic, I thought I'd post

my favorite cologne recipe! Actually, a friend of mine came up with

this and gave me permission to post it. You use ylang ylang,

patchouli, and pear oils in a grapeseed oil base. I use three parts

ylang ylang, two parts patchouli, and pear oil to suit your sense of

smell. The hubby likes it a little sweeter than my friend makes it

so I use a few more drops of pear. I mix it in a bottle with the

grapeseed oil and shake it very well before every use. It can also

be added to lotions and hair conditioners. It's unofficial name

is " Drops of Jupiter " . I get many, many compliments on it. Maybe

you could try something like this instead of a commercial brand.

It's fun to make and is cheaper too!

Happy scenting,

Roxanne

December 10, 2002

Thanks for your scent recipe, Roxanne. I love the name 'drops of

jupiter'. I am

going to have to make some of this.

Oh what a great idea, make your own. It makes for good small talk too, if

anyone asks about it. Thanks for the idea. Does anyone know of a cheap,

cheap, oh did I mention cheap internet site that sells the essential oils.

I've checked and there are several, however I would rather do business with

a recommended site. Thanks for any advice.
