Male perfume on women

Hi guys!
I'm new on the boards and i was just wondering is it okay for females to wear male perfum? Can you really really tell the difference? My fav perfumes are Calvin Klein-Contradiction and Hugo Boss-Boss. I know they're not for females but they smell so good !

What do u guys think?

I have never worn male cologne. I always wear woman's perfume. I don't think my man would like me wearing the same scent he wears.

I just think men's cologne smells musky or spicy, usually, while I prefer sweet smells. I like things like strawberry, vanilla, coconut, bubblegum. . . the kinds of things you find in children's perfume or in bath shops. . . Strong floral, spicy, or musky smells just don't appeal to me.

Good question! Ive always been a girly girl and liked the sweet, flowery smells particularly the more exotic ones. But I recently did a little personal experiment and found that yes.. it's absolutely ok to wear men's cologne if you're a girl!

Ive heard before that men should wear women's perfume and women should wear mens but did not understand why. Girls, have you ever noticed how you get the most compliments on perfume from other girls??? It's because female perfume is manufactured to seduce those who by it... women. Same for men's, although that's a bit different because sometimes men's cologne is meant to attract BOTH men and women because both will buy it.

Ive recently purchased a male cologne that I didn't like at first, but i must say it grew on me. The reason why? Men compliment me all the time now, and i love the effects of that.

Men's colognes tend to have a musky, raw scent that attracts men. Evidently many men find a feminine scent ok for occasions on women, but if they smell it too much it can get too sweet. The cologne reminds them of things that are much more... erotic.
At least this is the consensus I've gotten so far!

Although I usually stick to feminine scents, when I like to splurge on a nice scent, it'll usually be cologne. I prefer musky scents over the floral scents to be honest. I'm around fruity or floral scents all the time, so I grow tired of it.

I used to think that all colognes smell the same. The standard spicy/musky/or overpowering patchouli scents.

Now, designers are coming up with more unique scents that a woman can wear too. Like Reaction by Kenneth Cole (it has notes of green apple, cucumber, and melon).

Now I wouldn't go as far as to use a scent that is very obvious that it is for a man.

I read in Allure that a girl used to wear Chanel pour homme (a male scent) because she realized that the person she was "wasn't for men" at all. So she didn't want to smell like seduction. Wearing a unique scent will definitely get you noticed. Everyone I know wears Miracle and every guy I know wears Polo Blue or Allure.

Men's colognes are much fresher than women scents. Many of them have lavender in it which has a very good scent and which used to be a basic oil for women perfume. I tried splash on my legs after having tortured them with an epilator and a very nice fresh scent stayed on my legs.

Now I know why most people assume I'm straight unless I tell them otherwise-- I just won't smell gay enough unless I switch to men's colognes!

never heard of women wearing men cologne but i heard of females wearing cologne

I usually like sweet smelling body sprays, though I sometimes get tired of those scents. Lavender and green tea are nice scents to try if you would like to try something different from the normal sweet smelling perfumes marketed toward females. Even better is how relaxing both scents are.

As for men's cologne.... I personally don't see anything wrong with a woman wearing male cologne. In fact, I don't usually notice much of a difference between most male colognes and the ones marketed as being unisex. My mother and I both like Avatar cologne, which kind of smells unisex.

No problems at all rosie13.... I fell in love with Joop Homme years ago and finally bought myself a bottle. No one has told me I smell like a man.

I like some male fragrances & occasionally will wear my husbands - like the Issey Miyake one - it smells hot.  I also know a lot of guys out there that think it's kinda sexy!
