true. Any cologne can smell bad if you put too much on. Make sure you put it on about 1 hr. before you go out, so some will wear off by the time you actually get to your destination. Also, if you know what cologne you want for god sakes don't buy it at the store. Look on Ebay or on the internet and save $20 bucks. Also, remember spring is comming up and so don't blow your wad on a purely winter cologne (heavy scent). Look at Givenchy with the blue Top (not PI), burberry, etc. You wouldn't wear a sweater during the summer or a tank top in the winter(excluding cali, florida, arizona,etc) so think of colognes in the same manner (heavy=winter, light=summer).
