Welcome back to the results breakdown of the Cologne Opener.  The Stylelife Moderator, Prodigy, did an incredible breakdown of this classic routine.  As seen in the book The Game, we decided to pull this one out of the closet and test it out just in time for the Valentine’s Day holiday.  After all, no girl wants to be with a guy that smells like butt.

With just a few alterations, this routine has been tested by various Stylelife Academy students, Stylelife Coaches, and of course Style himself.  But, the question is, how did it fare with you?

Now, onto the results of the Cologne Opener:

3. Did you get called out on using this routine?

9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):

I always tell girls/sets that “The lady at the cosmetics counter in Macy’s/Sephora/Nordstrom’s is trying to sell me what she thinks the best smelling cologne is. Which one do you think smells better?” Then I follow up with, “I always feel like they are just trying to pitch a sale, even if it smells good or not….” -drewder

10. What scents/colognes did you use?

Play,Play Intense, Pi, Pi Neo – by Givenchy, Cool Water – by Davidoff, Orion, Vice, Apollo – by Axe, Snowdrop.  Most Votes: 1st – Play Intense.  2nd – Play.  3rd – Orion. -Prodigy

Armani Code and Jean Paul Gaultielle-Wiesel

Diesel- Only the Brave.  D&G-#1.  Armani – Code.  Only the Brave was the WINNER. -drewder

And there you have it.  This routine comes out with the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval.  I had faith this one would make it.  I have even seen Style pull it off with out verbally starting it.  It was that easy.

Next routine will be a very HANDY piece that will take a bit of time, but offers lots of kino and is one hell of a DHV.  Come back later this week and you will see what I am talking about.  Till then…..

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

So, as promised in the previous post, we are going to take it back old school.  This was something that Style has personally used and it was in the Game.  I love how when we go back a few years and revamp something that hasn’t been used here, usually spawns some sort of Stylelife Academy member using it to great lengths.  Just because it has been done before and a while ago, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work….

Or does it?

I have seen Style use this particular routine as an example at one of the Stylelife Academy Conferences this past year and I had totally forgotten about its use in the field.  A few guys at Pick Up Labs have been kicking around the idea of bringing it out and I figured, there is only one way to tell. Besides, it has been a while since we have tested out an Opener.

With that, I give you the Cologne Opener

Also, I think as a colorful bit of inspiration for others, post what colognes you used for this (question #10).  Tell us which ones WON or were the best.  If you don’t have any colognes, go to a cosmetics counter and test what they suggest is the best two colognes that THEY recommend (not the two top sellers).  And…. if you are already out at a cosmetics counter, then you are already in the field and ready to test this guy out.

Bring your results back here by Monday, February 1st and let us know how things went.  Until then…

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING
