    My men's cologne collection

    Hi guys, I have open this thread to present your collection and story about it?

    For 10 years I collect more than 500 different men's cologne. Today, I think that my collection is worth about 50k.

    What you collect? Worth?

    Colognes ‘go off’ don’t they and end up smelling like cats wee?

    Nope the collection is not worth £50k, you've spend £50k, sorry to give you the bad news

    As already said it goes off eventually too

    Exactly, not something worth collecting - using maybe dependent on how much it smells like cat wee of course.
    It's just a matter of time...

    I think this officially marks a new low point on the forum .

    Dear OP, this part of the forum is called Watch Talk. The clue is in the name...

    Yes exactly, smell less or like wee or give you allergies. Normal expiry date is 5 years. How can a collection be worth 50k is enigmatic for me. Except he collects vintage perfume bottles....anyway: This is WATCH TALK....

    Maybe the 50k is in Slovenian Tolar? That's €208, or £181 at today's exchange rate. So, maybe 3 or 4 bottles.

    Also, 50k over ten years is 100 quid EVERY WEEK on aftershave. Are there even that many aftershaves in production?

    I've got a small collection myself.

    Hai Karate and Brut for the day.

    Then Denim for the evenings.

    Pure class.

    That'll be it. Could also be a stealth sales post although I suspect demand for old after shave posted from Slovenia is going to be pretty limited.

    Welcome cupcakes. That’s a serious problem you have there!
    Unfortunately you’ve posted this thread in the wrong section, but hopefully it’ll be moved to the correct one.
    In the meantime, this thread is probably one you can add your knowledge and experiences to — http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?406052-Aftershaves-any-favourites and maybe this one too... http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?358504-Taylors-Sandalwood

    Welcome to the forum!

    Congratulations on your Cologne collection, 50k is a lot to have invested in smellies!

    The biggest Cologne collectors over here seem to live in North Yorkshire and many of those plain speaking stalwarts have a few shelves full of this type of kit and will happily lob a few hundred sovs for a nice bottle of Cologne particularly after they have returned from a formation farting weekend competition. (It is popular over here, single handed post grip on tiptoe for maximum style marks)

    Me, I collect empty milk churns but they are not worth as much as your stuff.

    Happy collecting and have a great day!

    ... this is the correct response imho. OP, Glad to hear you have an expensive, illogical hobby collecting inanimate objects..! We’re not so different, you and I!

    May I suggest basenotes forum for this topic, or the George and dragon sub forum on TZUK? Personally, I like hearing about collections away from watches as well

    You might like to look through this thread also:

    What else do you collect?

    Oh, maybe the nice oily Penhaligon stuff too.

    What about the 100% chick magnet that was Kouros. Need a big stick when you have a splash or two of that puppy on.

    Old Spice, now that is a classic fragrance.

    I tried English Leather once.

    But that's another story.

    this reminds me of that guy on watchuseek that posts in the "post what u just bought" thread and there is some lads buying 1000 dollah colognes and 1000 dollah chinos and handbags, and the odd AP or breguet if its a tuesday. and then theres some lad posting his 65 dollah nikes (that could be me though), but man i love that thread, its like a nuclear arms race in who could spend the most. not me.

    Then Denim, Tabac or Old Spice for the evenings. Crash a party with a 'Watneys party Seven' and maybe a bottle of 'Cinzano' to impress the birds.

    Before CK1 there was...







    I remember using this in that hot summer of '76, it is cooling, refreshing and for boys as well as girls.
    Still have an old bottle of this, it is still smelling the same after thirty-odd years.
