I know this might sound kind of weird, but wondering if anyone here has ever tried this before? I am getting really sick of buying these $100+ colognes that seem to wear off within 2 hours of applying it and have heard some of the longest lasting scents come from mixing pure essential oils together. Some of the Tom Ford stuff, for example, stays on really well and is very close to what I want and like, but the price point is too high to keep buying it every few months and thus am looking for alternatives.
So, has anyone ever tried anything like this? If so, how did it work? Any advice? Any "recipes"?

You should just try some Eau de Vagine. Nothing makes a woman want you more than the knowledge that you're good enough for some other woman but she can't have you.
This sounds a lot like writing music, in that it's something where as the person making it, your judgement is clouded until you hear it (or smell it in this case) for the first time with a fresh ear (nose).

Could make for some awkward trial runs...
Good analogy and yes I agree, there definatley is going to be some trial and error involved here.

FYI - you can do the same type of thing and use grapeseed oil instead of alcohol for nice smelling beard or hair conditioners. Just takes a few drops each application. It isn't oily either if you only use a little bit.

Do women even like colonge? Or is this more of a "you wear it for yourself" type of thing?
I only ask because I'm a woman and if I smell colonge on a guy my first instinct is "d-bag". But to be fair I usually only notice the ones who are overpowering everyone in the elevator. Or gym.

Sweet! I was waiting for someone else to bring up the "why the hell even wear cologne?" argument so I didn't look like the instigator.
I'm reasonably certain cologne was originally used to cover the stench of unwashed bodies. Since we (most of us, anyway) clean our bodies daily with soap and water, cologne is pretty well unnecessary. Same with women and perfume - unless it's very subtle, it's usually more detrimental to attractiveness than otherwise.
A decent scented soap that you can detect only when you get close is nice, but anything I can smell on you from outside the bad breath zone is generally a terrible idea.

Not sure if women like it, I've had a few girlfriends who have advised they "like" the way I smell, many others who never commented and very well could have hated it. Not sure, but I do like a bit of cologne on before going out or going to work, so I suppose I do wear it for myself.
