anyone into frags (designer/niche)?

[NLS8520]

You've got to be kidding!

Where "frag" often meant a situation where
someone had to choose between living or dying...

Instead:
"Frag" is now being used to represent men's
and women's choices in odorificants?!?!


And the #####fication of America continues!

I like a lot of your comments as they are well executed and thought out and definitely analytical in nature. I think you missed the mark here, this gentleman is discussing something he likes in the off topic section, if you do not like cologne then why belittle someone over something they might enjoy as a hobby?

Frag means something else to us old guys than it does to you whipper-snappers, here's a hint:

Oh, I'm fully aware of the whole thing. I served during the Viet Nam era.

Yeah Aventus is very nice scent very expensive like you said. I have a sample and while I really liked the scent of it, I gave it away because its very "loud" I like a more skin level fresh type scent.

agreed, aventus is loud but also lasts a good while. not as versatile as some others but i wouldn't wear it all the time especially considering the price. nautica voyage is such a gem (high praise in the fragrance community) and for under $20 for 100ml bottle is a steal and it's very un offensive and can be worn in just about any setting... rops:

I never got beyond scented body washes. I guess it's for the best because I tend to be a bit sensitive to perfumes.

Off-topic, but a funny story:

Went out on a blind date. The gal was cute. One problem - she wore the same perfume as my mother. I totally recognized it: Poison.

I was distracted the whole time. When she tried to feed me ice cream, all I could think of was 'you smell like my mother...' So distracting & completely ruined the experience. :laughing:

The Canoe and 9 Flags date back to the mid 60s. I wore Canoe to my 50 year class reunion, I think almost everyone recognized it.

LOL. I think you may be trying too hard with this take on the matter.

 

[BillE]

Yes, "getting fragged" had to do with a fragmentation grenade, but that was only a little bit of the whole thing.

THAT is exactly where my mind went.

I was worried if a big boom was coming.

•Sorry...but I think otherwise:

-Here's some more crapola that supports my
#####fication of America premise.
Dictionary Society of North America: American Dialect Society


-I never, ever imagined that "they" would someday
be the Word of the Year (WOTY), and would
have a singular pronoun meaning for someone
that identifies as being nonbinary. WHATTHE...!!!

btw, thanks to those who have made a valid contribution and have added to the topic (i'm always open to try different fragrances, thus staring the topic) and for those who have nothing valid to add, please do not bother posting in this thread. thank you!

I'm not a wearer of fragrances, but if I was... Man, I still love the smell of that old school Pierre Cardin in the bottle with the semi-spherical top! That stuff Reminds me of my grandpa! Awesome stuff! Wonder if they still sell it?

I have never been more disappointed in you

This is my nominee for "Worst Thread of the Year"


Do people actually use the word "Frag", or was it made up for this thread?

 

[Eldorado2k]

@AGOatemywallet. Aye, I said cologne
I've never even heard of the term "frag" lol.
Don't hate me cuz I smell good

 

[dlc95]

Hahahaha exactly what I was thinking Bob!

Same here!

I do have a small collection of men's colognes.
