Weird I know, but I need a nice (relatively inexpensive please) for a gift.

Girls, recommendations for what smells nice on your fella would be good.

I particularly like my men to be wearing Armani. Mania is my current fav.

Issey Miyake 'L'eau d'Issey' seems to go down well.

Paul Smith 'Extreme' has a similar fresh scent.

Hugo Boss 'Boss' is an old standby too.

Another for Issey and try Vera Wang if you can find it!

I agree with the above Issey recommendations - lovely scent.

I do still like Davidoff Cool Water and there is a Ted Baker one that is quite nice but I have no idea what it is called.

Sexpanther is from Anchorman... watch it now!

Yep, that's what I wear at the moment (when I bother), and it's just about to run out so this surprise gift your planning is perfectly timed.

Cerruti 1884. On no less* than three occasions have (previously unknown to me) women approached me in the street to say how nice I smell (and one of them was an Italian woman in Rome, which maybe counts double?!)!

Ace**!

*and no more, to be strictly accurate.

**although admittedly maybe slightly less ace given that these encounters have occured over a fifteen year period?

How old is the chap you are buying it for?

Some fragrances are more suited for older/younger chaps.

+1 for SexPanther. I always put a dab on my guns before I go out.

Nah, he's cool, just needs to smell better. 😆

Problem is... different fragrances smell differently on different people.

But if you follow DD's advice I'm sure he'll be pleased.

emsz... you do know I'm in my thirties though... and have no interest in rugby, right?

yeah, I know, but you don't let me stay in your house rent free in exchange for some cooking and housework.

Ahh, I see, no... I quite like cooking so that wouldn't be a fair exchange.

Is that not a bit dangerous to wear as an aftershave though, Pieface?

What's wrong with GT85? I seem to constantly smell of the stuff!

Mind you, doesn't work as well as Sex Panther of course. Most of the time, it works every time!

I have had several ladies tell me that 212 smells really good on me, but alas, I genuinely have no sense of smell, so it's used purely for their benefit. I do remember that Cerruti 1884 wasn't as popular though.

In the days when I could smell owt, I found I preferred things like Nivea, Vicks and Germolene, yet ladies don't seem to favour these as scents. 🙁

I've been painting a cabinet with gloss paint. I am sad I cannot enjoy that particular smell.

How did you loose your sense of smell? Doesn't that make late night fridge raiding a bit hazardous? 😆

Vera Wang sets my wife off.
Also, the new Tom Ford one is quite delectable.

Well the specialists at St Barts aren't really sure. They think one likely explanation is damage to olfactory nerve endings following a sinus infection, but around the same time, I had a bike crash which left me with concussion, so they're not ruling out some form of slight neurological damage too.

Well I'm glad you find it amusing. Being deprived of an important thing such as a sense isn't something I really wanted, but hey ho.

Sorry Elf... someone was going to.
Do you find eating really boring?
My Grandad lost his sense of smell... loved food, after losing his sense of smell got no pleasure out of eating.

Sense of taste is slightly diminished, but still there. Suggesting neurological damage may be very slight indeed, if there is any at all. Still get to enjoy food, which is a relief. No point in me spending loads on spensive wine and that, as half the appeal is lost. In fact I'm not bothered about wine these days, prefer a beer.
