    Hmmm....it's that time of year again!
    Every few months or so i have to renew my smellies for the nights out, i was on Burberry for a while, the chav aftershave, but nice, before that i was on John-Paul Gotiae...nice, but not strong enough, Polo Sport, but to common imo, everyones wearing it it seems, and before that Joop! untill i discoverd girls don't like it!! :D

    So it's time for a change, a new scent.......what's your favourite, and what's it's UMMM factor with women? Girls please tell me what you like on men? Men tell the women what you like on them.
    I'll put a pole up when there's enough candidates....

    Well- I like Paco Rabbane and the other half is mad into Sun Moon and Stars.
    Girls always like Chanel No. 5 - it is nice, but a lot of the time reminds me of older people? If that makes sense? No one in particular- just it smells old?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,713 ✭✭✭Cianan2


    I like the Diesel one, in a white bottle. Smells nice to my nostrils,anyway!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 602 ✭✭✭edibility


    Any form of Hugo Boss......mmmmm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,244 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    I like my isse miyake, me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,533 ✭✭✭✭Idbatterim


    Issey Miyake & Cool WAter are great, bought a bottle of Joop about 3 years ago and have almost all of it left, far to sweet in my opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    Issey Mayake, Emporio Armani and Tommy...

    I totally agree, but I was wankered in a london club one night "Trap" I believe was the name, managed to blag myself into the VIP area, anyway, I was in the toilet and I always avail of the Aftershave in the toilets and tip the guy there cause I tend to be pissed in clubs and I feel generous. So he sprayed some of it on me, and I thought it was nice, a few women commented on it, so in my drunken-ness I ordered a bottle of it. It's all gone now, I used it up fairly quick.


    I have a bottle of "Echo" that I got from my sister, smells nice, but I'm working through Emporio atm.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    Lacoste is REALLY weak though! Is their more than 1 type? cause you cant be talking about the one i had before..was a corck of sh!t, it was practally water..had to soak myself in it for scent to stick....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    I've got this bottle of Lacoste I got for a bday present from about 5 yrs ago that I really like; it was in a green and white bottle and I could never find it for sale again. Don't know if it's like the new stuff...real citrussy clean smell that lasts for ages.

    *waits for some n00b to post "Lynx" :D*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,496 ✭✭✭*Angel*


    Yep there's a few different types, a guy I know wears 'lacoste pour homme' it comes in a clear bottle, its so so good!

    Some n00b?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    I've never smelt the birds cool water.. I wear the guys one, wearing it now, and it's nice. Is the birds one anything like the girls one?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,767 ✭✭✭Hugh Hefner


    Have any of you ever thought of just not trying to smell like anything and just go scentless? As long as you don't smell bad....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,645 ✭✭✭Shrimp


    Ah yeah, I've done that before... like your just out of the shower and all fresh so your not going to smell, but it you'd agree that a scent of a nice after shave is nice. I mean I wouldn't put on aftershave all the time, only sometimes if I'm going out, but just with friends and stuff I wouldn't. I'd wear deodrant though of course. What after shave do you like Hugh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 721 ✭✭✭ShevY


    Dior - Higher Energy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41 lizbeth


    my now (I guess) ex-bf wore Hugo Boss and mmmmbaby. But personally, as long as its a scent that goes with the guy, not a cheap aftershave and not something that reacts badly to your own chemistry, then I'm good to go. Don't use too much. Don't bathe in it, so to speak. Don't make it overpowering, subtle is good.
    In that regard, same goes for women tho. Speaking as someone who has allergic reactions to perfumes, I can't take it when a woman walks by and you smell it for 10 minutes after she's passed. Ugh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,518 ✭✭✭matrim


    I like armni Emporio Armani, and Hugo boss red.

    The only problem is I don't shave and I'm always getting people asking why you were aftershave when you have a beard.



    You could always go with the old spice option. Who doesn't want to smell like their grandparents. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,715 ✭✭✭Padraig Mor


    Carolina Herrera for Men (not 212 - just C. Herrera). Very hard to find (I usually get it abroad) but worth seeking out!

    Oo-er, pardon me vicar! :D

    I have anosmia and all perfumes/aftershaves/industrial cleaning products smell identical to me. I've no concept of what constitutes a masculine or a feminine perfume. If you're a woman, do you buy a perfume whose smell you like or that you think guys will like, and vice versa?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭Tobias Greeshman


    • Emporio Armani - Night
    • Tommy HillFiger
    • Ralph Lauren - Polo Sport (aint worn this in like 6 years, brings back soooo many memories... ah)

    I couldn't put the pole up....but i tried ;)
    :D

    I think a bit of both..obviously the person wearing it would want to like it....but you also wear it so other people like it :p Hence the slapping it on before a night out! ;)

    I liked Joop!, but everyone else hates it (or at lest all my friends do), so i stopped wearing it.... (Yea, cause that's the reason i wasn't pulling! lol)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,308 ✭✭✭✭Bard

    I don't use aftershave. I use shaving cream but that's it. And yes I use deodorant (unperfumed).

    women's perfume - def DKNY (the original one) fruity and yummy, I wear it all the time.
    men's aftershave - I generally think that men wear too much of the stuff and some of it's really overbearing; much prefer that freshly washed "man" smell....mmmm......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,223 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    yea gota be hugo boss
    ck1 for work , but boss for socialising


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,531 ✭✭✭jonny68


    The original Paco Rabanne CANNOT be beaten..with those eternal words in its advertising campaign "whether she remembers is up to you"

    QUALITY...... ;)

    I like Tommy Hilfiger, and also have a bottle of Davidoff Echo. Echo is nice too, though I prefer Tommy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,763 ✭✭✭StupidLikeAFox


    Mademoiselle by Chanel on girls, Quality!

    Personally i vary between Hugo Boss that comes in the grey box, the one in the green and red box, CK Be and Ralph Lauren. Bit of Fahrenheit now and then (jus to be mad) but i dont really like it much


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,481 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I just use deoderant. Much cheaper.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,223 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    ou lacoste original for men is yummy too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭Shabadu


    Bvlgari Green Tea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭bang_bang_rosie


    As many have said before, Cool water, from a womans point of view i'd do anything or anyone wearing it.
    mind you i am desperate....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I'm using Mont Blanc at the moment. It's pretty cool as it's good, yet not too common. My girlfriend got me a bottle for my birthday... which was big points for her as my last girlfriend got me a bottle of Old Spice for xmas 2003.... jesus.. that's what a 5 year old kid gets his dad...
