Dear Poll: Is It Taboo to Recycle Your Ex's Cologne?
It looks like I am not alone when it comes to having a strong connection to remembering scents on a man — thank you for sharing all your favorite smells! Now let me ask you this. If you grew to really like a specific scent, but your ex boyfriend wore it, do you think it's taboo to buy the same cologne or after shave for your new boyfriend?

Product of the Day: The Pope's Cologne
Smells like Vatican spirit. We're told from the marketing copy that The Pope's Cologne, a "fresh fragrance from the past," has notes of violet and citrus, and I imagine, the more elusive notes of renunciation and piety. Some dude in San Rafael, California decided there'd be a run on the market for smelling like Pope Pius IX (1792-1878).
Product of the Day: Play-Doh Cologne
What immediately comes to mind when you think of Play-Doh? Surely, not the noise of popping open a fresh can of it, or the colorful look of it, or the manufactured taste of it (wait...what do you mean it's not edible?), or the gooey feel of it, but the overwhelming fragrance that accompanied it. You know the smell well.
Learn How to Get Hot Chicks: Don't Watch TV Ads
If men listened to television ads, they'd think that smaller was better (BK Burger Bites), that women love the smell of rancid cologne (Axe), and that you can cover up the fact that you haven't bathed or washed your sheets in ages (Febreze). Not only that, but they'd think that really hot chicks don't just put up with that stuff — they looove it! (And we wonder why men and women have trouble knowing what the other half wants.)
Smell Like a Douche!
Do you act like a douche? Now smell like a douche! If you and your friends think you're the dudes from Entourage, if you take a lot of shirtless pictures of yourself for your MySpace page, or if you pop your collar when clothed, then forget Tag and Axe.
International House of Beefcakes: Who's the Best?
Global research site OnePoll.com asked 15,000 women from 20 countries to rate the men they've slept with based on their country of origin, and the results are in: Germans were ranked the world's worst lovers because of their rankness, Brits came in second because they're "lazy," and the Swedes were deemed "too quick to finish," finishing third in this list no man wants to be on.
I like a little natural body odor on my bedmates (it beats a dude who reeks of cheap cologne), so I'm not sure this list works for everyone. But lazy and too quick?
Women More Sensitive to Stinkiness Than Men
Well, I could have told you that based on purely anecdotal evidence (i.e., growing up with a teenage brother), but now I've got the scientists to back me up. According to a new study out of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, women are far more adept than men at cutting through fancy colognes to detect a dude's scent.
Apparently, men and women are equally skilled at detecting stink, but women aren't as easily fooled by cover-ups:
Underarm odors alone smelled equally strong to women and men.

Things He Should Know: Appearances Matter
Ladies, do you secretly cringe when you see your partner put on a dirty T-shirt or those baggy jeans that should've been washed weeks ago? While many of us might prefer our partners to take better care of themselves, the whole metrosexual thing can be grating as well.
If your boyfriend, husband, best friend or brother needs a few helpful hints about keeping it clean but keeping it real, he need look no further.
Dear Poll: Do You Like Him Freshly Showered or Au Naturale?
I’m assuming we’re all fans of hygiene here, especially in regards to those around us, so I'm sure none us are too keen on a boy who only saves showers for special occasions. That said, there can be something particularly hot about a guy when you catch him just before he bathes. His own musk can be pretty amazing — it’s got to be the pheromones!
