[Closed] recommend me an aftershave

Givenchy Xeryus Rouge

Maybe it's your smell of sense which was damaged?

I thought taste and smell were inextricably linked? Not questioning you, but I'm genuinely interested.

I dunno Yeti. The specialists said neurological damage usually means a person can lose sense of taste [i]and [/i]smell, but can sometimes knock out just one. Complete permanent loss of smell following just a sinus infection is apparently extremely unusual, and only likely after chronic long-term illness really. They reckon it's probbly a combination of the two.

I had to get a brain scan. The resulting image just shows an empty void. 😐

Paco Robanne - 1 Million

Ho hum, mid twenties. Rugger sort (d'you know what I mean by that?)

I know what you mean, but I can't imagine those sort of blokes wanting to smell of anything but Lynx or soap 😆

You should research some of the ideas mentioned in this thread on http://www.basenotes.net/

My recommendation would not work for your chap.

Good luck with sniffing out the right fragrance!

Clinique happy is my fave at the moment

this is my aftershave, mrs_drummer really likes it on me

available on t'net for about E37

Papa Cheri by Fragonard, Grasse, Provence, France - www.fragonard.com. If you happen to be with 50 miles of Nice, I heartily recommend a visit to Grasse

lasts forever. I bought a 200ml bottle in summer 2007, I still haven't finished the bottle, although I did buy another bottle about 6 months ago, haven't needed to start it yet

I also currently have vera wang for men, very good, not too OTT and gets a good reception

Gucci by Gucci is even better

Diesel only the brave. girls love it, on me anyway. Not particularly cheap tho

Dr. Harris do a range of really nice, classic aftershaves, the arlington is lovely [url= http://www.drharris.co.uk/aftershaves ]Linky[/url]

Failing that Aqua di Parma. expensive, but great

Did someone say diesel?

instead of aftershave, why not treat him to a shave? A proper, barber's shave with hot towels, oils and cut throat razors.

Armani Gio is my fave
Very Valentino also good if they still make it

Arlington is very nice, smells like a mix of citrus and fern.

I have the Arlington shaving soap as well.

Aftershave is why I quit shaving.

Diesel is only £1.30 a litre, quite cheap IMO.

I use 'Only the brave' EDT. A couple of sprays everyday and a £30 bottle lasts about 7 months or thereabouts. I make that good value.

I've got a few on the go, . . .

but last few day's i've used this again and the fiancé noticed how nice it was this morning, almost smells of chocolate somehow?

I use a mixture of Old Spice and Brut, The Essence of Man.

I am, I believe, the very essence of what it is to be a man.

Hugo Boss is my fella's choice and love it 😀

Clinique Happy for men is lush too I followed a man round Debenhams sniffing him for a while last week....

I said that out loud didn't I? 😯

You have to get the [url= http://www.firebox.com/product/2291/Sex-Panther ]sex panther[/url].

60% of the time, it works every time.

If budget is a consideration, then I'd also recommend Clinique Happy. It's my 'every day' scent and often gets complimented on.

I also like Armani Code and Essenza de Zegna for something a bit different.

Examine the shelf in Superdrug.
Buy something which is NOT represented there.

I like Issey myself.

Is there not a 'SexyParty pour Homme' scent available?

I have been looking at one that smells of breadcrumbs. Apparently the birds love it.

212 for me. Am slightly repulsed knowing that I smell the same as elfin... 😉

😀

I normally smell of this lovely fragrance:

Can buy in handy travel-sized bottle as well as catering pack tub.

Penhaligan's sampler set might be an alternative idea. Lots of different little aftershaves.

Clinique Happy for me too.

Late to this one, but here's my two penn'orth;
Dior Eau Sauvage - Classic
Davidoff Cool Water - Modern classic
Dr Harris Marlborough - Seriously classic
Joe Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin - Excellent

I reject all this high street fragrances for a special mix I have formulated for me in Italy.

I'm not too sure of the detail, but I believe its made from powdered Elephants tusks, the fins of Great White Sharks and Siberian tigers teeth.

My Italian mate Silvio says he swears it, and even though he's getting on a bit, it seems to be going down an absolute storm with the Laydeeez

Gravel.

Issey is a good old favourite but I prefer DKNY Be Delicious now
Givency play is alright too

Boss - the one in the bottle with Boss on the side and comes in a silver box with Boss on the side.

Worn it for year.....even if it is a P&G product.

Chanel Allure for men is fab. Love it.

Rachel

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

Started using this for honeymoon and have been ever since... Lovely and fresh

emsz could do all us fellows a favour.

All she has to do is take some random bloke to the perfume/cologne counter and try them on him.

When she finds one that makes her want to leap on him, then she can post it on here.

I'm sure we'll all promise not to use it wantonly on unsuspecting ladies...

🙂

Try Old Spice ...

A review here in detail.
