16 Colognes That Have Been Worn By Some Of The Coolest Men In History

Staying up-to-date with celebrity news can be depressing when you're not actually one of the rich, attractive people you're reading about. The men and women we see in the tabloids and on the screen often have everything a person could want and more, and the closest most of us are ever likely to get to being that cool is by watching their movies or listening to their music. But even though we might never be able to boast the outlandish good looks or sexy voices of our favorite stars, we can smell like them if we know what scent to shop for.

Humans don't rely on their sense of smell as much as other animals do, but that doesn't mean it's not important. In fact, this experiment revealed that a person's scent can have a lot more power than you might think! So if you want to exude confidence and power, something as simple as changing up the fragrance you use can help you achieve those personal goals. Just make sure you don't get too cocky about your new scent, or you might end up getting the same treatment these snobby women did from an old woman who was sick of hearing about their perfume!

If you want to smell like your favorite singers, actors, and world leaders, check out what these famous men always spritzed on before leaving the house. I can't keep my hands off my boyfriend when he wears number 10!
