Source: I'm a manager in my company and regularly interview and making hiring decisions. Would I care if anyone is wearing anything at this point, nope, and I'd probably ask what it was, but when it comes to interviews it's very easy to let subconscious things sway your decision making. Especially when you have two candidates competing who have pretty much identical quals and interview success with you.

SOTD: Code Profumo.
In my opinion, it's better to have someone smell your cologne before your potential bad breath or nervous body odor, stinky shoes, fish smell from that tilapia you cooked for breakfast, or something similar. We get used to our own natural smells, and overlook things that a stranger might pick up right away. And the odds of someone actually being offended by cologne are extremely slim. On the other hand, an interviewer may be impressed that you care enough to smell pleasant. But the key is subtlety. One or two sprays versus the 10-14 sprays I see some folks spraying around here, lol. And I would definitely wear something soapy and clean smelling..... not a medicinal oud or some other niche fragrance.

This topic comes up occasionally in the FB groups and I'm always amazed at how many people ignore this basic logic and insist on wearing something. Even if there's a 1% chance of an interviewer not liking your scent - why risk it?

Got a sample of Aventus, it smells like my old Brut aftershave, both on the card and on my skin. Bleu de Chanel stomps all over it.
Glad I didn't buy into the fad when this frag was a 24/7 meme on the misc.

Also CANADA BRAHS - Costco has started to restock with skids of frags, and Aventus has been spotted once again. Good luck!

So I decided to pull the trigger on Allure homme sport eau extreme. I was hesitant at first because I already had AHS but decided after a second sample that it was different enough to warrant a purchase.
To me there's definitely a similar DNA in both.
AHS = base DNA + notes that give it a dry, slightly creamy piercing and uplifting vibe that's perfect for high heat.
AHSEE = base DNA + notes that give it a sweet/creamy/play-dohy vibe that makes it more sensual and perfect for an evening out.
Tried it on today for the first time and a female friend came to check me at work. Immediately as she came into the office, she said something smelt nice and edible, like pastries in here.
