It’s not your father’s cologne. It’s HER father’s cologne.
August 16, 2009
The Whiff-Guys have contended for some time now that one of the best cologne considerations for men looking to hook a woman is to find out what scent her father wore (women are subconsciously drawn to men who smell like dear old dad). But what if the father of your object of affection just wasn’t a cologne-kind-of-guy?
Not a problem, thanks to Garage by Comme des Garcons. This strange and comfortingly familiar fragrance — one in the Series 6 line of “anti-perfumes” — is designed to evoke memories of papa’s old workbench and is “like curling up in that old leather recliner with your dad after he’d worked on the car.” With notes of laurel aldehyde, leather, floral, Chinese cedarwood, vetiver acetate, and kerosene (yes, that’s acetate and kerosene), Garage is “all the good things about childhood and all the comfort scents you rarely indulge in as an adult.”
No word yet on companion scents for men looking to snag a woman whose father worked on, say, a shrimp boat or in a sewer system.
