I’m trying my best not to come across as creepy.
What do you think of men who wear cologne on dates with someone they’re seeing?
Isn’t it actually kind of creepy when an older man wears it?
I’ve never used any before, but do you have any recommendations?
I’d appreciate your advice.
I’m in Seattle.
You don’t need perfume—use deodorant spray or a roll-on deodorant.
As for your breath, keep a Mintia in your mouth at all times, even during intimacy.

First of all, if you look good in a suit but your casual clothes are a mess, work on that.
It’s summer, so you should have the kind of physique that lets you wear a simple T-shirt or polo shirt.
Grooming, including deodorant, is important too.
And then there’s cologne, I suppose.
I like men’s cologne. The scent of the papa (a male supporter) I have the best chemistry with is enough to get me all flustered.
It isn’t cologne, but I like the scent of something like NIVEA MEN body lotion.
What I don’t like is Egoïste.

Apparently, cologne can work when you’re good-looking. You might come to like the cologne your boyfriend wears, and eventually just the scent alone can make you think of him.
That said, what works for a handsome guy may not necessarily work for a papa (a male supporter). There seems to be a distinction, so it could also be off-putting.
With that in mind, I think it would be better not to wear anything at first, ask her views on fragrances, and then choose something that suits her preferences.
I think this applies to both men and women, but when someone has a scent you don’t like, you may find yourself thinking, “Hmm… not really.”
If you want to make a better impression, rather than cologne, I think something like a deodorizing spray would be a better place to start.
Something like Ag Deo24 Men’s deodorant spray.
Of course, as the other answers have mentioned, taking a shower right beforehand would be ideal—but where are you supposed to shower after work...?

To make a good impression… take a shower in the morning, clean your ears properly, keep your nails short, and make sure you don’t have athlete’s foot.
I think that’s more than enough.
Personally, I like people who are scent-free, with a hint of the fragrance from the blue BVLGARI bottle. I’m a bit of a scent fetishist, so once I start sniffing, I won’t let go of you even while hugging you（笑）

Try to make a habit of doing plenty of good deeds in your everyday life.
The way you’ve behaved over many years eventually shows in your facial expressions.
If you have a kind and benevolent heart, you’ll have a calm, gentle expression.
If you’re often irritated, you’ll develop a harsh, intimidating look.
If you’re constantly dissatisfied, you’ll have an angry expression.
If you regularly do things that make people grateful, your face will take on a warm, approachable look, and people won’t find you creepy anymore.
Even something as ordinary as driving every day can show this. Some drivers are thanked with bows by pedestrians and cyclists every day, while others are constantly glared at. The emotional room you have inside shows in everything you do.
And with that, here’s the paper airplane of a creepy, fat, short, bald man.

I’m Shingo Lee (Shingori), a columnist.
Wanting to make a better impression is a great goal! That said, if you’re asking for advice, sharing details like your age and appearance would help me give you more relevant feedback.
Scent is fairly low on the list of priorities, but here’s my advice.
Most girls don’t mind perfume, but if the scent is too strong or overly feminine, it usually doesn’t go over well.
Just like sprinkling salt on watermelon brings out its sweetness, if your natural body odor isn’t pleasant, perfume can actually make the underlying smell stand out more.
First, make a habit of showering in the morning. While you’re at it, moisturize with a nicely scented body cream!
Of course, even if you shower in the morning, you may not go straight to your date. You might be meeting after work instead. That’s when you can rely on perfume.
There are some classic perfumes, but they can be hard to find consistently, so I recommend an inexpensive fragrance. The Body Fantasies line costs around 500 yen and has received positive feedback from many women. I especially recommend the unisex line since it doesn’t smell overly girly.

Perfume can suit someone with an actor-like presence, but for most people, I think simply taking a shower before a date is enough. More important than perfume is washing away sweat in your daily bath or shower to prevent body odor, as well as taking care of your oral hygiene.

I think it’s better to avoid wearing perfume.
If you’re used to wearing it and you’re the kind of guy who always leaves about three buttons of his shirt undone, then I won’t say anything（笑）
But if you’re Japanese, I’d recommend sticking with something like 8×4.
