My New Obsession : Collecting Miniature Colognes (for men)

[jaystarr]

Posted: 7/25/08 at 5:06pm

I'd thought I share this... when I was a kid. I used to collect MUGS from different states~which has the name of the state (ex: KANSAS -sunflower mug) and it must be bought at that states, so I bugged my uncles, aunts, cousins and friends at school to buy me a mug when they go on vacation. I actually have 43 state mugs, which I still have it up now... lately like 2 mos...I decided to collect miniature colognes, for two reasons: 1. when I buy regular size cologne.. I cant finish it 2.I tend to change my cologne every year- it depends when I stumbled to a new scent that I like...cant stick to one cologne.

So here's my new obsession: i think its so cute!

( Ive included my deodorant & chap stick in the pic to show how small are the colognes)

I like a FRESH, CLEAN & CITRUS-Y smell, so I have:

1. Banana Republic
2. Dolce & Gabbana Light & Blue
3. Eternity (my 1st cologne in High-School)
4. Versace Man
5. Burberry Weekends
6. Eternity Summer- love this scent, so clean and fresh
7. Sean Jean Unforgivable

Do you know they only cost less than $10.00 vs buying a regular size cologne! Any recommendations> I am looking for same scent that is clean, fresh, citrus-y or evn fruity smell...thanks!

btw- I used to like Chrome, Cool Water...

Those mini bottles cost a lot more per ounce than the regular bottles do, but I guess it's practical if you never finish the regular sizes.

I use just the one scent, CK Be. I used Clinique Happy for Men a while ago, but it's not as nice as CK Be.

I also like one of the Polo Black, I don't remember which one. Armani Code I also like. These are more woody, but still clean smelling.

I love Clinique Happy for Men-But they dont sell miniature size. I dont know if its just me, but sometimes you smell a cologne and you like it but when you put it on, its different...I have on CK BE. I love Polo Sports, Crave by Calvin Klein. Lucky You (on the down scale) but i love the scent, so fresh!

I would love to try Jean Paul Gautier Summer, but his cologne are very strong !

This is the site for miniature colognes:

I kinda like this one too... fresh, clean but very fruity! (yeah!)

I wear the same cologne since 1987: Kouros by YSL.



I don't think they make a miniature one, though.

Very cute.

..and of course David Beckham has his own cologne.

Are you familiar with Demeter? A couple of years ago, I was obsessed with them. They make scents like Dirt, Tomato, Earl Grey Tea. I had Cucumber, along with a couple of other ones. I would walk around smelling like actual cucumbers, which now that I think about it, is a little odd.

Joop! and CK One Sunshine.

Thanks guys! I actually love Joop! I love the scent of it~feels like you have take a cool shower! I think I am gonna get it next time I get paid! ($6.00)




They usually sell this miniature cologne at Walgreen's & Rite ..Its also a good idea, if you just wanna try the cologne, sometimes when you go to the mall- like Macy's, the perfume ladies are just spraying it on your face and can't really get the feel of the cologne. btw...when i was in high school , there's this cute guy in my math class that wears DRAKKAR NOIR and everytime I smell that cologne , it brings me back to my High School days! weird!



I think all the Jocks in my High School wore Drakkar Noir & Farenheit.

Jay honey, I love you, but you are NUTS!!!!

Jay,

It just means you are cheap. But thanks for letting us know.

We starve-look
At one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation

I couldn't care less about this.

And not just because I think J* is ridiculous - which I do.

I'm just glad that Namo's reappearance wasn't a quick 'in-and-out'.

I actually would love to get a bottle of Alan Cumming's fragrance, sometime. I don't wear a lot of cologne, but I'd love to wear that.

Does anyone besides me think it's creepy that there's an ad at the bottom of this page for "fragrances"?

[tazber]

Posted: 7/26/08 at 2:18am

It's the software miss P. It recognizes key words and selects matching ads.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 7/26/08 at 2:38am

I know, Taz darling. There are, after all, no coincidences.

I still think it's creepy.

[DG]

"I still think it's creepy."

I think it's beyond creepy. I think it's a sign of future control, and it freaks me out.

Think 'The Company' from the ALIEN films.

Now there's an ad for "Leap Frog" learn-to-read products. Go figure!

(Thank you for your support, DG. I'm glad I'm not the only one.)

MissP - I think there are signs all OVER the place of where we could be headed - and everyone seems to glazed-eyed and responsive to the very latest stimulus that they don't consider what it MEANS!

Wow DG, why such a Bitter Betty?

Jay- that's so adorable!

Retro - not bitter, just responsive to . . . well, what's presented.
