but I hardly ever wear anything cologne-wise so I wouldn't even know what my favorite was. How long does cologne stay good? My HB bottle is closing in on 10 years lol.

Every once in a while I think I want to be a cologne-wearing guy but then there are so many choices I just give up. Smelling samples on the cardboard does little to help. My wife is no help as she couldn't possibly care less if I stink pretty or not.
