Definitely not true. Like I said in the post, sense of smell is the greatest memory inducer. If you have a smell, people tend to remember you better and if they come across the smell again somewhere when you're not around they will think about you.
This also works Quite well against you, you always remember the smelly kid at the LAN,school, or work right? The one who gives you that 'run the fuck away' refleX, the one who doesn't even have the Common courtesy to wear deodorant or shower?
Thanks for more suggestions guys. I think I have too many now.

Smells definitely stick with you. To this day, if I get a hint of the perfume my ex wore constantly, it instantly reminds me of her.
I've tried some colognes from Adidas and Old Spice. Old Spice's original scent (I even think that's what it's called) is really overpowering, even in a tiny amount. I like Adidas' colognes.
Slightly on topic: When you use cologne, how much do you apply and where? I don't really use it so yeah. I've been told the neck and wrists are where you should apply it.

Well the problem with the neck is people kiss there, and it tastes like shit and doesn't easily rinse out. So back of the neck/collar area is where I put it. And then on chest of my shirt and forearms.

I have a high school friend who works in the perfume/cologne section at Nordstrom and she recommends YSL (Yves Saint Laurent Eau De Toilette), Chanel Platinum, and D&G The One. I think they fit your budget, but I think it's worth saving a bit more for them if they don't. I personally have the YSL cologne and I really do like it, although I've been using Bulgari Aqua more lately because it smells more manly :D

This reminds me of riding the train. Cause every time a group of Arabs/Indians/w/e walk in there is always someone who smells worse then shit in their group and they sit right next to you. I'm really not trying to sound racist here, if everyone else in your group has the decency to shower then why don't you.
i really hate smelly people

This might be biased, but take it from me these things smell great 
I've had my share of girls sniffing me just coz they like the scent. No, I'm not exaggerating.

It's not racist if it's true. It must be a cultural/religious reason, or maybe it is actually a biological trait that many of them produce some extra musk. I used to ride the bus through Cal state long beach and yes I know exactly what you are talking about.
and shit, i literally filled an entire page with suggestions now. I hope It doesn't seem weird when I walk in there and pull it out and spend like 30 minutes smelling colognes and comparing prices.
btw, does anyone know if it's any cheaper to buy cologne someplace over another? Being that I'm really frugal, I might have some lady help me try all the stuff and then just leave and not buy anything and just research the cheapest place to buy it on the internet. lol

I'm using Bleu de Chanel right now. Costs about $60.00, it was something my gf picked up for me not too long ago. She used to work in a fragrance department of a store so she knows a thing or two. I really like it.
I had that same question for her, and she recommended buying a sample pack. It retails for the same price as a regular cologne and apart from having many mini bottles of the most popular colognes to sample from, it also usually has a pretty good coupon to buy the cologne of your choice. Just something you might be interested in asking about.

WINNAR. thnx everyone. I had waaay too many suggestions to even try out all the smells from 2 stores I went to.
Just fyi, The ones I was debating were
sean john unforgivable, nautica voyage, and a suggestion from one store which was Blu Alloy
Oil based scents are key. I hated all the alcohol ones
btw, I paid 64$ or something after tax for the 2.5 oz bottle

nice pick, Polo Black is definitely a very versatile cologne (for me at least) that I can wear to a lot of places.

sorry to bump this but Raii's post was fucking spot on. I literally got laid because of this scent. And have had tons of girls smelling me and complimenting me on my smell. Probably some of the best money I've spent in my life.
quotes from randoms: "You smell delicious!", "Is that you who smells amazing?", "I can't stop sniffing you."

True story. The only time I have gotten comments about my scent from women was while wearing polo black lol.
