Overheard earlier today:
Me: <reads back of humorous body wash>
K: Yeah, I bought that on a day I couldn't smell, largely because of the packaging. It turned out to be rather... licorichy.
Me: Which is odd to me, since it's marketed as "for Men", and more people who like licorice that I know are female than male. But maybe that's the point - smell like what you want to attract?
K: If that's the case, then Body Wash for Men should smell like chocolate, because marketing tells us that all women love chocolate, and Body Wash for Women should smell like vanilla.
Me: I didn't know men were known to like vanilla.
K: I just report the news. Anyway, I'd really rather smell like... coffee.
Me: You want to attract people who stay up late at night?
K: Nerd-bait, that's me.

Hmmm....

I like licorice. And chocolate.
And coffee.

Maybe my nose is a nerdy woman.

Most of the people I know that like licorice are men.

And a man wearing coffee aftershave would DEFINITELY get my attention.

I don't think it counts as "overheard" if you participated in the conversation. :P

I vote for the chocolate-coffee combo.

I get eaten alive when I smell like woodsmoke, leather, and whiskey. But that's never in a cologne.

Granted, there is no perfume that smells like bacon, so it goes right along with making designer clothes that have a whole lot of effort into them, and aren't really attractive at all. At some point perhaps they will realize that the sexiest thing is a sarong and a smile.
