    Whatever I get for Christmas I keep buying for the rest of the year, this year it's ProSport deodorant and Lynx shower gel.

    Gucci Envy is quite nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    Aqua Gio (I think that's the name) by Georgio Armani is very nice.
    Clinique happy is also quite nice.
    I think Hugo Boss (the green box) is quite nice when you take a sniff from the bottle but I don't know how it smells after you've been wearing it for a while.
    L'eau Issey Mayake is really nice but very powerful, can knock you out.

    Better off here, methinks.

    This summer I will mostly stink of Emporio Armani White during the day, Armani Mania at night. Adidas deodorants usually do the trick.

    Thanks lads
    Any more suggestions welcome :)

    Adidas deodarants for me all the way.
    Body shop shower gels. I got fed up of using the generic smelling shower gels.
    Aftershave - I'm quite fond of the new Eternity Summer by Calvin Klein. Easier on the nose than regular Eternity. I'm also quite fond of L'eau Dissey..

    Kev.

    Music to a drinker's ears.

    go for the adidas blue deodrant nice clean and fresh smell off it and it does a decent job keeping the sweat away

    farenheit is the classic aftershave for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    I'm quite fond of Armani Black, however I'm told Channel Allure smells better on me, so I go with that ^_^

    try any of the hugo boss fragrances they all smell really nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    I use adidas brown. For some reasons women love it on a guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,920 ✭✭✭cee_jay


    Lynx Africa - yummy on a guy!
    Or Eternity by Calvin Klein or Jean Paul Gautier

    Lynx Africa is a bit like Fisher Price my first Deoderant/ Aftershave in my opinion. :p
    I went through my phase of wearing it when I was 15-16.

    Anyway, Physio Sport Anti-Persp (Orange one is the nicest, not sure of the name).
    For aftershave I usually go for one of my many Hugo Boss ones, but have recently been using L'eau D'Issey and also CK - Be. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,581 ✭✭✭uberwolf


    I've Hugo Boss hugo, armani mania, Davidoff Echo and ralph blue at home. Tis echo from mania for me. Though all get used.

    As for nice smelling face wash - Nivea.

    L'oreal have a nice smelling moisturiser.

    I find this thread offensive! As if Metrosexual men are the only ones to wear nice 'smelly'? Horribly offensive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,296 ✭✭✭RandolphEsq


    theres no such thing as metrosexual,its dosent make sense

    Well my first true love wore this and perhaps thats why i like it so much? brings back all those lovely memories! :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    I used to use that all the time. I think it's disgusting now though, and through years of memories with guys using it instead of showering, it's now firmly associated with B.O. in my mind.

    Actually, Issey Miyake is quite a light fragrence. Perhaps you've been swimming in it :P

    My current fav is Davidoff Echo, which is so much nicer than that Cool Water crap that they do it's unreal.

    As someone else said, Jean Paul Gautier is also yummy, but it's quite strong - if you're looking for something a little lighter but still nice then try the JPG "Summer" version, it's a bit weaker. Used to like the Chanel Allure that Az uses but I don't anymore


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    I did a lot of cycling and found the green Right guard to be pretty good - doesn't smell too strong but masks anything upleasant quite well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭Bateman


    Yeah I realised after posting that I'd contributed to a thread including the word "metrosexual". :mad: I don't think being interested in how women like men to smell constitutes being a metro though... :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    i dont consider myself in anyway metro (hate that fúcking term)

    Can't go wrong with any of the hugo boss range ( theyre very fresh and could be used day to day if you can afford it)

    Echo is also very nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,306 ✭✭✭NeMiSiS


    Armani - Blackcode.
