Beauty Confession: I Wore Men’s Cologne (And I Liked It)

The second I sniffed Patrick Dempsey's new scent for men, Unscripted, I loved it. And I swear it wasn't only because the gorgeous actor-yes, Dr. McDreamy himself-was standing next to me at his fragrance launch event at the time. I just really dug the woody scent, and for weeks, I stashed the bottle in my dresser drawer, figuring I'd give it to the next guy I end up dating. Then yesterday on a whim I decided to give myself a spritz on my way out the door…

And now, I just may be addicted to the stuff.

See? The bottle (on the left) now has a place on honor on my dresser.

I should say upfront that the scent is almost unisex to begin with. The notes of fig and musk are light enough that they don't really scream any particular gender. But it makes me feel earthy, confidence and sultry-like a gal you'd refer to as a "broad."

If you're interested in trying Patrick's scent, head over to the Avon site and come back and let me know if you order it! Then tell me: Have any of you ever worn men's cologne? Ever steal a spritz or two from your boyfriend? Are men's fragrances too heavy for you? Just want to express your love for Patrick Dempsey? Feel fee!
