I was wondering if anybody else has noticed if you wear certain fragrances, especially in the workplace. Those around you especially the ones who like to throw there weight around, seem to withdraw or become more friendly as if they're threatened or intimidated all of a sudden?

So I’m back from a trip to the UK and came home with a bunch of goodies I picked up while there. And I had a few more waiting for me in the mail when I got home - Bought a whole bunch of ATH to try out. I figure I’ll be able to tell with just a few sprays if they are for me or not, and if not I’ll just flip them. So far I’m enjoying Guapo and Gin Sling; Odyssey isn’t bad (seems like a take on Tygar) and Icon is pretty good too (kind of a sweet salty citrus woody aromatic) but maybe a bit sweet for my taste. Yet to try are Midnight Fever, Blue Fever, and Noir. - As @Paul Bartnicki knows (and, I suspect, is amused by), I have significant trouble with clary sage and I sold my bottles of ATH Hombre when I first blind bought them because I didn’t like how that note was front and center. However, Penhaligons The Cut has been growing on me, and it also has prominent clary sage, so I wanted to give Hombre another shot - Also picked up the limited release Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Cologne Forte at a steal of a price. I had tried a decant and really liked it. The almond gave me trouble in some of the others from the Ideal line but here it’s light and smooth - I spent time at the Roja and Ormonde Jayne boutiques in London, both had cool and knowledgeable staff who took me through a bunch of their lines. Roja Midsummer Dream and Isola Snow were standouts, and I’ve already got decants of those on the way; I liked Evernia and Kashmir on paper and the manager at the OJ boutique gave me samples to try - Waiting for me at home were bottles of Polo 67 EDP and Superz Unique Blue — both of which I burned through decants of and beat out all the others I battled them against
