Do you wear aftershave?

Pauliedragon

Heard somewhere that Old Spice is making a comeback and was wondering if many blokes use aftershave often these don't. I used to the odd time back in my late 20s early 30s. Not since then. (I'm mid 40s now)

Every day

I'd wear it most days.

Wouldn't bother if I wasn't leaving the house and might forget the odd time.

I rarely go anywhere exciting.

It can range from a store brand to a more expensive brand.

drury..

Aftershave is old-school 70s

When i was a young lad 20 years ago, i would dab a bit of hugo boss on when i was looking for hole....

It didnt work...

I have quite a few, I'm fond of an oud or 2 aswell as issey miyake and egoisté.

I don't wear 1 everyday, but certainly more often than not.

**Edit** Also in my mid 40's.

Applied conservatively. Less is more when it comes to good scent. Usually Carolina Herrera - Chic or Valentino - Born in Roma uomo. Like Banie01 not every single day but more often than not.

do you mean cologne or actual splashed on the face aftershave?

I wear Cologne every day always but not actual aftershave applied to my neck after shaving!

As a woman here: personally find any/all aftershave or cologne a bit of a turn off. Nothing is as sexy as Eau de Man. (Clean, hopefully, little bit of fresh sweat is OK). Doused in awful deodorants like Axa etc are particularly awful.

Creed Aventus every day for me

You should smell my Brut humming . . .

Going out on weekends

I'd put on a few sprays of eau de toilette Davidoff Cool Water (my OH, a man also, loves the smell) or Dior Fahrenheit when dressing up and going out for dinner or to meet friends in town etc but not every day.

Reeking of cheap cologne is awful!

Men might be missing a trick, there is a moisturise that smells of coconut and chocolate It is called Palmer's coco butter, it makes you smell like a bounty bar.

Smelling like a bounty would be a great aftershave.

I used to use the turkish barber stuff, limon kolonya. I'll have to track some down again. Lovely smell off it.

Yes everyday. I've lots of cheap stuff from zara that I like as well as more expensive stuff like Chanel and Paco Rabanne.

What's "axa"?

I always have a decent aftershave in the door pocket(?) of my car, became a habit a few years ago…never know when you need to smell good! 😅

I think the way scents are marketed at men and women is fundamentally wrong. Ones that they sell in hand grenades and gold bars are nasty. The spices aimed at men are usually pretty gross. They usually remind me of teenagers.

If i use a scent on a special occasion i use a squirt or two of Jo Malone. My Mrs got a sample set of five and two of them are great on me. Since then I just go for nice smells instead of paying attention to who they're marketed at.

Maybe it's just me but I prefer the ones that smell like actual things like pomegranate or neroli, rather than concepts like 'aspiration'

extra-ordinary_

Only on special occasions I.e date night/xmas etc

I wear it the odd time for a date or something special.

I don't shave everyday so would never of think of using aftershave everyday leading to, do men with beards honestly wear aftershave?

ruth...less

Guy in my old job and another lad use to have a joke....there was another guy who worked there temporarily and he stopped guyA and said 'ohhhh are you wearing Versace?' And he was like 'eh no' and doesn't sound funny but we just had this joke for a while where we'd ask him if he was wearing Versace all the time😁🙃😂😅

Yes, but I'd still rather a man didn't smell like it.

Every day

Not aftershave, as such. More like perfumes/scents, but pretty much every day. I'm partial to Tom Ford's Oud Wood, Valentino Uomo Intense (iris is such a beautiful scent), Baccarat Rouge 540, Angel's Share by Kilian, Parfums de Marly Layton and Yves Saint Laurent's Tuxedo and Babycat. I'll alternate between all of those during the winter, then when the brighter and warmer weather comes in I'll alternate between Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino, Bleu de Chanel, Creed's Aventus and Dior's Sauvage Elixir.

Northernsoul

yes, and i must stop buying new ones as i think i will probably be dead before i’ve used current stock!

The person might have meant Axe, which is the name for Lynx in some markets.

Nigel Fairservice

I love Suavecito Whiskey Bar, Dior Sauvage and Hugo Boss Man. I'd wear them a lot of the time. I have a few barbershop Clubman aftershaves as well that I'd use straight after shaving. L

Never.

had never, don't like the smells

edit - I'm in early 40s

I've been known to dabble, I'm all about my Parfum's these days and I smell bloody lovely

Collection of Tom Ford Private Blends, so yes, but not every day

Everyday.

I've not got a bloody collection ranging in styles and price points at this stage too. Men's fragrance is a rabbit hole I'm happy to have fallen into.

To those wearing Aventus every day, just get a good quality clone, save money and smell better for longer too, nobody can tell the difference other than other men who've spent the guts of 400 quid on a bottle of Aventus. The most complimented fragrance I've ever owned is Armaf CDNIM Parfum.

Any expensive stuff I've bought has never lasted as long as you want it to even if it smells fantastic, the limitations of expensive natural ingredients.
