    I got them up in Boots in Liffey Valley a fair while back, and I remember the decently sized one setting me back 15 yoyos I think? Wouldn't pay more than 15 quid on the stuff, saying that I am a cheapo when it comes to aftershave....normally go to Supervalu and go 'that'll do,cheers'

    **edit: I know nothing about these matters, for what its worth.

    What sort of scent do you want??

    Prada man is nice, I've had a few compliments over it, definitely not strong or overpowering, but last's a good while.

    The Lacoste that comes in the red box, no idea the name of it, about 40 euro for a standard bottle.. Smells the absolute ****! Not literally.. ;)

    Jaipur by Boucheron. Quite hard to get in the shops but its the nicest aftershave I have ever used:

    Joop Jump. I smelled it today but it's really delicious. Or Issey Miyake or Aqua Di Gio.

    My Dad always tries to get the aftershave balm as it lasts longer

    Ultraviolet for men is looovely. As is Clinique Happy for Men.

    My mate uses some Dunhill stuff he brought back from Britland (sure you can buy it anywhere) and tis lovely. I wish I knew the proper name of it, must do a google.

    Ultraviolet is gorgeous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 152 ✭✭Cathal01


    A day aftershave: Clinique Happy... is absolutely gorgeous. Not overpowering, very light but you can still tell it is for men.

    Night/Muskier: 212 by Caroline Herrara, Hugo Boss, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs (smells unreal, always get compliments about it). A cheaper one but still nice is Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch. Not sure where you can get that.

    Black Code - Armani Get's my vote.

    I'd drink it if it didn't keep making me violently ill.

    (Plus, it lasts for ages during the day.
    Not sure if that's considered a positive?)

    I use Armani Mania, love the stuff, was just in a store one day and decided to take advantage of the free samples, instantly loved it and had to go back a week later to buy it.

    Quite expensive though, $100 for a large bottle.

    HArd to give a suggestion without knowing the OP's taste in these things, but you can never go wrong with Armani "Acqua di Gio" or "Code" and Yves Saint Laurent's "Rive Gauche" is gorgeous. If you want something a bit different, Thierry Mugler "Cologne" is a really strange, addictive scent. Only scents I've ever received compliments on out of the blue are Rive Gauche, Acqua di Gio and Dunhill "Edition" (old Dunhill frag. Smells like lemon and clove).

    yves saint laurent l'homme

    its gorgeous.
    ive doused my room in it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 794 ✭✭✭electric69


    Chanel Allure Sport. 60% of the time it works everytime!

    Gucci Pour Homme II is very nice also.more subtle than Allure but still nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 517 ✭✭✭greatgoal


    gaultier is nice,also white or red farhenheit is good stuff.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 84 ✭✭peanut66


    The newish Christian Dior one ''Homme'' is absolutely gorgeous, I am all over my OH when he is wearing it. Seems to last all day aswell. yummy!

    All mens aftershaves seem nice.
    You know when a group of lads about to head out pass you on the street
    They always smell lovely.

    I like that Diesel Fuel one. Bought a bottle of it on the cheap in the airport and now can't find any more (Haven't exactly been scouring the land mind you)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,624 ✭✭✭Dancor


    Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time. :pac:

    Failing that, John Paul Gaultier or Lacoste red.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,354 ✭✭✭copeyhagen


    la coste red and jpg are decent, bit old now though.

    d & g light blue and ch 212 are my fav two aftershaves at the moment.

    chicks love both too, which is always a bonus


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭MJOR


    Egoiste Platinum by Chanel
    212 by Carolina h


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,025 ✭✭✭il gatto


    I bought 212 when it came out. I loved it for a while, but I got a bit sick of it. Too sweet for me. Only frag I've used up and never replaced. Cool packaging though. The magnetic lid is class.
    Opium PH is really sweet too, but I love it. I bought the EdP version too, but tbh the EdT is proably a bit nicer, imo.

    I firmly believe everyone should have a signature scent and stick with it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 129 ✭✭theboytaylor


    +1 slice

    Not an easy thing to get right though

    Couldn't disagree more, I usually have three or four which I swap between, much prefer to have different scents, I think people get used to your "smell" so a change every so often is better.
    Think we both have valid arguments though.

    People become immune to smells after time. That's how people live beside fish factories and oil refineries. If you use only one scent, you will barely notice it after a while. I wear scents because I like them. I'm not fishing for comments. If I can't smell it, I wouldn't bother. And people who smell the same all the time creep me out.:o:pac:
