    Clinique Happy (nice and citrusy)
    Jean Paul Gautier (very subtle smell, although I'd stay clear of the deodorant stick)
    Armani Romance (a nice fragrance for everyday use)

    Paul Smith has just released a new fragance called Story, i think I may pick some up tomorrow. It smells nice but is strong enough so unless you want want to be a step above lynx wearing pubesent teen's only wear a very small amount.

    Whenever Pighead wears Ultraviolet For Men By Paco Rabane he magically turns into The Pied Piper.
    (With chicks following me instead of rats though, obviously)

    By the way, why did you put fragrance in inverted commas? Have I missed something? Is everyone referring to something odd/vile known as "Fragrance" in street slang?:(

    No no, we're all talking about cologne/after shaves. I've no idea why they put fragrance in inverted commas though.

    I like my natural one, some people would disagree.

    I prefer to refer to the "flavour" it gets some funny looks, but people know what you mean. One thing I hate though is the way everyone sprays them all around the shop when you are buying E.D.T.'s and you get a really mixed up smell, USE THE FRAGRANCE CARDS to spray.

    How old are you???Twelve???:cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭skyhighflyer


    Found Joop very feminine myself wouldn't go back to it. Some girls seemed to love it others hated it there was no middle ground. Now I wear Armani Black code which is almost universally appreciated :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭ClareBear


    If you could see me now I'm drooling...


    I think Jean Paul Gautier will always be my favourite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 193 ✭✭Muzzy


    My personal favourite is Burberry Touch.

    Christian Dior's Farenheit is good too.

    Got a bottle of Aramis as a gift, I didn't really like it but it grew on me, it's fine for everyday at work.

    Girls what gets your knickers a bit damp then? Our male opinion counts for nothing :)

    I've gone through hundreds of aftershaves and colognes over the years but still nothing can ever beat the original and best of them all :)

    I actually prefer the After Shave version. It's not oily like some aftershaves, and it develops better than the Eau de Toillette. I have the EDT as well, but I find it stays a little green and sharp, whereas the AS dries down to a woody, fern-y smell. Either versions p1ss all over alot of whats out now though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,924 ✭✭✭Cork


    What is the difference between aftershave & eau de toilette?

    It is the type of question - I never got around to ever asking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭il gatto


    Basically, fragrances come in different strenght solutions. Weakest is cologne. After Shave is stronger, followed by Eau de Toillette, then Eau de Parfum. Strogest is pure perfume oil
