Mystery Cologne A

Christene Barberich, editor-in-chief: "I like this. It smells very clean, sporty. I'd imagine that the person who wears this would be an avid gym-goer. It also seems kind of unisex. Like maybe he'd share his fragrance with his girlfriend. It smells clean to me, like Irish Spring soap."

Susan Kaplow, VP, editorial operations: "It’s clean, but it has a woodsy kind of undertone — it wouldn’t be like something you would smell in a German nightclub or anything. Even though it’s a men’s fragrance, I would wear it myself."

Megan McIntyre, senior beauty editor: "This one smells a little aquatic. It feels a little fresher for a men's scent, like something that a guy who doesn't really wear cologne would wear. I'd be into a guy who wore this…I mean, I wouldn't follow him down the street sniffing in desire, but I'd think the guy smells nice."

Connie Wang, global editor: "Is there a Cool Water for men? There is? Is this it? It's a lighter fragrance, which I like. But it smells very drugstore-y. Like, the alcohol scent is pretty strong. I think a jock would wear this."

Annie Georgia Greenberg, New York editor: "This smells really ambiguous. It’s a little too sharp, but also watery in a way. The guy I see wearing this wears turtlenecks under blazers. I don’t know what it is, but I wouldn’t want my boyfriend to wear it."

Gabriel J. Bell, staff writer: "I smell a lot of baby powder, a little lavender, and a little musk. I might wear this myself. It's soft and kind of a mellow smell. Not very earthy. I think it's more subtle, and a little sophisticated, but not overwhelming. It's for someone who wants to feel good but not make a big impression."
