    Creed Aventus, it’s a little know frag that’s gaining popularity haha

    Otherwise known as sex juice - have a bottle of this and only wear it for special occasions but by god it smells phenomenal.

    Must say I find Mont Blanc Explorer to be a very good clone. Cheap too.

    I really like Jaipur by Boucheron. Been wearing it for quite a few years. Seems to be a bit out of fashion as it can be purchased online very cheaply.

    Bought L'Venture for €20 and it's 9/10 identical to Aventus. So identical that I'm not gonna bother buying Aventus again.

    I was talking to my colleague this morning, we were discussing colognes/fragrances as I have bought in the Fragrance thread previously and was telling him about it. The discussion moved onto one guy in the office who always smells nice, not over powering, very fresh smell all day everyday!! We were trying to figure out what it is and one of the girls mentioned body mist?

    Has anyone tried these? Any recommendations?

    We did think that it may just be our noses not picking up our own scents due to being familiar with the smell but open to any recommendations!

    Also to note that the smell did not seem like a cologne/aftershave kind of smell, just a fresh out of the shower kind of smell if you get me!? Also the chap is rarely in the office so its difficult to ask him what he is using!
    This post has made me curious.
    Have you asked him yet??? ;)

    Blind bought a bottle of Mugler Pure Havane from Debenhams online.

    First off I have to say great service. I ordered late Sunday night and chaise the standard free delivery(there was a faster paid for courier service also) and it arrived at my workplace this morning.

    Had a sample spray a while ago and it’s certainly different than anything I’ve worn before. Initially very strong on tobacco and cherry but it settles down and now is a lovely combination of cherry vanilla and tobacco.

    The one annoying thing is the built in atomiser in the plastic bottle which kinda spits out the fragrance rather than sprays it. :D

    After initially being underwhelmed, the longer this sits on the skin the nicer it smells. I reckon it will be a few days before I decide whether I really like this or not. I’d imagine it’s a pretty polarising fragrance that people will really love or really hate.

    Blind purchase of Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Malt , heard some great reviews on it so hoping for a good winter fragrance.
    Also got a bottle of Tom ford Nor Extreme - it has an amazing fragrance, turned a few heads and lasts ages.

    Some frangances I've purchased lately include ...
    Aventus creed / green Irish tweed
    Xerjoff Nio
    Roja enigma
    Parfum de marly herrod
    Parfum de marly Layton .... A lot depends on your own taste .
    Some frangances don't suit some skins .
    They may not last long on some skins .
    I prefer the fresher smelling frangances .
    Best advise is to buy smell sample sizes until you find a scent that suits you .
    I've heard some good comments on a " frangrace house " called Nishane .
    It's a Turkish brand .

    I have Pure Malt and really like it although I prefer Pure Havane. Both great winter fragrances though and quite distinctive.

    I’ve been meaning to try and get into a store to sample Noir Extreme. One I’ve had an eye on for a while but would like to try first.

    I currently have the following in my bathroom :

    Dior Sauvage
    Dior Fahrenheit
    Boss Bottled
    Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male

    I must be using Fahrenheit over 20 years now. Love it, was one of the first fragrances I purchased and always have a bottle on the go. Smell lingers on me all day. My nephew's have referred to it as an old man's smell

    I've very recently become a fan of Tom Ford's Black Orchid.

    Quite niche, but lovely IMO.

    I don’t like Dior Farenheit. Everyone has their preference but it’s one I really dislike
