I'm wondering what is the nicest fragrance there is out there to buy. I'm thinking of buying one off fragrancex.com, as they seem to be cheap and have free worldwide delivery.

What fragrances are nice? Preferably Eau de Toilette sprays.

*Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I felt that as I was looking for a men's fragrance this was more suitable than Fashion and Appearance. Move as appropriate

You probably think this sounds stoopid, but it really does depend on you! What smells nice on one person doesn't necessarily smell the same on someone else due to your own personal scent mixing with the perfume. Also, you will have to smell it all day (assuming you're the one wearing it!) so it has to be something you like.

A few that I like on my man are:

Bvlgari AQVA
Issey Miyake
CK Obsession

Just a heads-up but my last two orders on Fragrancex took a month from shipping to arrive in Dublin.

My most recent one is Paco Rabane ''1 Million'' It comes in the gold bottle, very nice.

cant beat hugo boss, the one with the green cap

**star-pants** · 17-03-2010, 12:06

Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male (after googling) I think it's called.
The blue man shaped bottle. A guy I dated before wore that and I hate a lot of perfumes (male & female ones) but I realllllly liked the smell of this one.

Hugo Boss is nice - another ex used to wear that, but his dad used to nick it too so it became less appealing lol.

Pherekydes · 17-03-2010, 12:38

Polo (the original one-not mad about the blue bottle stuff), Cacharel pour l'homme.

Thierry Mugler's Angel B-Men is the best I've ever owned. I get compliments on it all the time, from women and men!

+1 on that. It's probably my favourite, and certainly very distinctive.

I'd also highly rate Hugo Boss "Hugo" and "Energize"
and Davidoff cool water.

You should also consider the setting in which they'll be used, some are more suited to an evening/night out, others would be less strong on the nose and more suitable for a long day at work. Buy a few and find out what works best, you'll soon know what you like.
(if you find any gems do let us know

Obsession gets a response like no other does, but it might be a little heavy for daytime wear, even in the eau de toilette.

Hugo, by Hugo Boss is a good fresh one and more of a day-long scent.

Paco Rabanne is a classic, very distinctive.

BIG DOG 82 · 17-03-2010, 13:54

Paco Rabanne - Ultravoilet is pretty nice !

Gers_punto · 17-03-2010, 13:57

G-Money · 17-03-2010, 14:34

Red by Lacoste. I was out one night wearing it and a girl and her friends were literally coming up, one after the other to smell my neck. No word of a lie.
