Just Kate Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 For some reason, it seems teenage-ish to me. Dh would like new cologne. I would like to spend around $30 on it. Can I purchase something decent for that amount? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson'smama Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 i say if it smells good, buy it! i bought dh curve b/c i love it on him. he likes it, but he LOVES jovan musk. so, to him, you can definitely get a lot of bang for your 30 bucks!

Trilliums Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If you like the smell, but it! I am not familiar with it so cannot comment on the scent/image associated with it. I did search some reviews and it is popular among teens (I think MANY colognes are!) but there are also plenty of reviews from adults (wives bought it for a husband, ppl comment on it being nice for corporate environment, etc). I have purchased several colognes for DH at Target and W-Mart in that price range and below. The last one was Kenneth Cole's Black, which a customer next to me recommended as I was browsing. DH used it all up so I guess he liked it well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Only if it was weird that I bought DH David Beckham cologne last Christmas. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snickelfritz Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) For some reason, it seems teenage-ish to me. Dh would like new cologne. I would like to spend around $30 on it. Can I purchase something decent for that amount? Thanks! dh and I buy new cologne/perfume for each other every Christmas. He likes change. I usually go to the the counter of a department store and ask them to name several new colognes that are popular. Then, I pick a smell I like the best. I like to get the test strips and wait a bit, because the smell does change. I don't worry about whether it's Beckham (which I've gotten), a new Polo, Calvin Klein (I think that's what I did this year) etc.... I just go for a smell I like. Having the counter recommend a new popular one---that's to narrow the choices down from 50 billion (my nose goes numb!) and to try to make sure I get something different from past years. I don't know anything specific about the Usher cologne. But, most colognes have various types (I think it has to do with alcohol content and how long the smell lasts and such) and bottle sizes that cost more or less. So that you should be able to get a bottle of something you liked for that amount. Our Wal Mart carries a lot of popular brands, but I don't know if you can smell them. Seems like they are locked up in a case. So, you might scope out a department store first. Edited December 21, 2011 by snickelfritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Would it be weird for me to buy my husband Usher cologne? Usher - no Justin Bieber - yes :lol: Edited December 21, 2011 by MissKNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_ashley Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I know what you mean. I smelled some Ed Hardy cologne last year and loved it, but when I found out who the designer was I didn't want to buy it. It smelled amazing but Ed Hardy is so JerseyShoreish I knew my husband would balk. I sprayed it for him without showing him the package and he loved it!

Audrey Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 As long as you like the scent, it doesn't matter what it says on the bottle. It's not like you have to wear the bottle around your neck. Who's going to know what that scent is anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 My 18 year old loves the Usher cologne. But, under the tree is Drakkar for him. lol My husband is getting Giorgio Armani. I say whatever you think he would love and that you love, get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I love the smell of Usher and considered it for dh. I chose Michael Jordon instead. :001_smile: I say if it smells good, buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks everyone! Dh and I are just doing stocking stuffers this year and we have a $ limit. I started out searching at a department store and the least expensive brand was $50+. I ended up at a RiteAid and could only smell a few (Usher being one of them). I did like it and I think I'll go back tomorrow and get it! As long as you like the scent, it doesn't matter what it says on the bottle. It's not like you have to wear the bottle around your neck. Who's going to know what that scent is anyway? Hmmm...you gave me another idea, Audrey. I think I will get dh a chain so he can wear the bottle around his neck. Maybe he can start a cool trend! (just kidding...obviously!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
