On Wednesday, Rocketboom delved into The Art and Science of Perfume.

Hey gang, just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know the guys over at Diggnation held a little informal poll on female preferences for male scents and they posted some of the feedback on their forums. We'll see if we can't get a few of those for review. Enjoy!

A couple news item before we get into this week's review. First of all, I apologize for the lack of activity the last couple weeks; I was traveling. Second, I have to point out that Sari liked CKIN2U so much she bought it for her boyfriend, and I just found out that Liz bought Light Blue for her boyfriend. You can't get any better endorsement than that.Now on to the juicy stuff. This week the

(Update: I caught up to Liz and edited this post to include her comments below Sari's...)This week's scent du jour is CKIN2U. It's a good thing we don't rate the names because I'm torn between considering that to be a bad license plate or some tweens phone-texting shorthand... but perhaps that's their target demographic.Sari's first reaction was an immediate liking. She thinks this might be

Sari (rhymes with cherry) is the youngest member of the Stinky Chic Squad (I just made that up). And, as I alluded to earlier, she's the creative one. Perhaps some day soon (hint!) we'll be able to showcase her creativity with some spiffy graphics on this blog. Although Sari and I are natural mortal enemies - she attended University of Florida and I am a Florida State University alumnus - we

This week's scent is Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. Annette was with me when I picked this one out, and the reason I picked it is because it was a tie for her favorite that day, so there's no need to interview her on this one. Liz and Sari, however, had to succumb to my interrogation.Liz declared the scent to be sweet and kind of flowery, while Sari insisted it was definitely fruity and reminded

I'll start with Liz since I've known her the longest. Liz is the consummate optimist, giving everybody the benefit of the doubt, always seeing (or holding out hope for) the best in everybody. I've met some of the people she has to deal with on a daily basis, and let me tell you this woman is a saint to have such a high level of tolerance! But, even though she's always sweet and polite, I am

Oops. No luck with Annette this weekend. I did meet up with her, but we didn't get around to testing the latest cologne. My apologies. This is probably going to be a common occurrence with her, so I've updated the blog tag line accordingly. Sari and Liz are just going to have to pick up the slack and put in the extra effort ;-) I'll have a new scent this week, and I hope to get those bios

Our scent this week is Ralph Lauren Romance Silver. This week's review is going to be another two-parter as I've only collected Sari and Liz's impressions so far; I'll have to touch base with Annette later.Sari was first to test, but I'm going to splice her and Liz's comments together as they were in agreement on most points, but the disagreements provide a nice contrast. Sari described the

Ah, I'm so clever. Sari, Annette, Liz, and Ted. The first letters of our names spell out SALT. Unfortunately, pointing out the acronym is about as clever as I can get with it; Sari's the creative one around here. And speaking of our individual talents, I hope to post some short bios of everybody in the coming days, as well as review our next fragrance (it's sitting on my desk, just waiting to

The triumvirate is complete; I successfully coaxed a third female companion, and her nose, to join the fun. And so last night I collected another opinion on last week's cologne.Annette, our new reviewer, began the test by sniffing my wrist and letting out a sensual "Mmmmm." She then joked, "Excuse me while I drool on your arm." Annette classified the fragrance as clean, crisp, and fresh. She

Our first scent was one of my favorites: Burberry Touch for Men. Liz was the first intrepid inhaler, and her initial comment was it reminded her of her boyfriend's usual scent (we'll track that down and review it in a later post). She gave me the typical "it's good" and "I like it" so I had to dig a little deeper, like some investigative reporter. She eventually conceded that it was sweet and

I conducted my first test this morning, and I'll be publishing the results very soon, but I wanted to first explain a little bit about the testing method. I spray the cologne on my wrist, give it a few minutes to settle, then one at a time ask a friend to smell it and comment. I ask them one at a time so that the participants don't play off each other's responses; so that peer pressure doesn't

Let's start this blog off with a bang by setting a hard fast rule. Guys, never go cologne shopping alone. Always take with you a woman whose taste you trust and respect. When she says, "That smells good on you," you've found a winner. Now let's break that rule.Some things are easier said than done, and we don't always have the luxury of female companionship on our shopping trips. And Lord
