Roughly 99.9 percent of the reason Men use cologne is to impress women, so why rely on your only nose alone? GQ asked three smart (and funny!) women to smell six new colognes and separate the good from the bad.
The panel, is fashion director Caroline Issa of Londons Tank magazine, Victorias Secret model Shanina Shaik, and comedian Nikki Glaser. Heres what they thought about these scents compared to GQ staff.
Lacoste L!VE
WHAT WOMEN THINK: Lacoste was a lady-killer. Id follow a man wearing this, said Issa. Shaik saw a guy in a Hugo Boss suit, and Glaser said, It smells like a guy who trims his ball hair. (Hint: Thats a good thing.)
$69, 3.3 oz., available at lacoste.com
Pharrell Williams Girl By Comme Des Garcons
WHAT WOMEN THINK: This one scored a 1 out of 3. It reminded Glaser of the lobby bathroom in an expensive hotel. Issa, however, found it light and insubstantial. Shaik was more to the point: No bueno.
$135, 3.3 oz., available at doverstreetmarket.com
Masculin Pluriel By Maison Francis Kurkdjian
WHAT WOMEN THINK: This is for a pretentious dad, said Glaser. The other two gals were all for going Continental. It reminded Shaik of summer on a rooftop, while Issa pictured a Frenchman who takes care of himself.
$185, 2.4 oz., available at neimanmarcus.com
Michael Kors For Men
WHAT WOMEN THINK: Issa caught a sweet undertone she dubbed a subtle Popsicle scent, while Shaik whiffed manliness, saying, Its like an aftershave on a guy from the 1960s. And Glaser? It smells like an expensive baby.

Luna Rossa Extreme By Prada
WHAT WOMEN THINK: Smells like a tropical air freshener, said Glaser. Issa dug its dirtier qualitiesLike a guy who rolled around in the earthand Shaik got a whiff of Florida, saying, Its like a sexy man on Miami Beach.

Invictus By Paco Rabanne
WHAT WOMEN THINK: The sweetness got to Issa, who said, It smells like cotton candy and little girls. Glaser found it homey, saying, It smells like fresh sheets, and Shaik found her number one: Definitely my favorite.
