Want to Smell Good and Get Women? (Page 5): Interesting sidenote but All of the designers branding these scents are gay men. Just an observation.

jerryc41 mentioned perfumes. In Paris, that romantic city, the usual to attract girls is the smell of Gauloises cigarettes and Garlic. The cigarettes are made with Lataquia black tobacco..delicious.

I smoked a pipe for a short term before I gave up the evil weed and was fond of Latakia Tobacco. A love or hate type of tobacco.

IIRC, making latakia/lataquia involves treating the tobacco leaves over a smoky camel or goat dung fire. (Smoking it before the end-user smokes it, as it were.) My fiancee rolls her own and occasionally treats herself to it--and told me how it's made.

It's still not as squeamish-making as that frou-frou coffee (I forget what it's called) made from beans that have been through a civet by the longest possible route. (Yes, they fish the bean fragments out of civet poo and roast them, etc.)

I had heard that sort of thing back then. Talked to the owner of the smoke shop and he said it was a myth and described how it was cured.

This is from Wikipedia and is kinda what Bob at the smoke shop told me:

Latakia is the result of a process whereby the leaves are cured over controlled fires of aromatic woods and fragrant herbs. Latakia is mainly grown in Cyprus and northern Syria. After the leaves are harvested and dried, they are hung in tightly closed barns and smoke-cured. Small smoldering fires of oak and pine fill the barn with smoke, and covering the leaves with smoke particles.

I forget the name of the coffee you refer to but I believe it does pass through the civet.

I will have to tell Jean that she was misinformed about what they burn under tobacco to make latakia.

The first time I heard of the civet-poo coffee was in an article, roughly 20 years ago, about the Nobel prize banquet, at which it was served. I just wiki'd it-- it's called "Kopi Luwak".

And nobody dares smoke near you. (Oh, the humanity!)

A few years ago I read the ones that women feel most comfortable with are Old Spice and English Leather. It makes women think of Grandpa.

I know why mine didn't work, I stuck to "Ode De Armpit".

A real earthy smell. Skunks liked it.

I'm not seeing Aqua Velva after shave.

I do wear "Blue De Channel" with a certain degree of success. If a woman's married, that's her concern not mine.
