    I used to use CK be all the time but now just typically for work.
    Now I use paco rabanne 1 million and the other week a girl talking to me in a club told me she could die because I smelled so good, so I think I'll keep using it.

    well gentlemen can you recommend a good aftershave?

    perhaps willing to.......wait for it..............splash! a "Oner" on this.




    p.s. - Oner = 100 euro.


    thank you.

    Armani Code is probably the most popular fragrance for men at the moment.

    Oh and that brown square bottled Gucci one is nice too.

    Oh and Aqua Di Gio by Armani.

    I will probably get shot for this but Burbery is always good and is often on special offer at the perfume shops.

    Take your oner and go there and get a nice selection.

    Here you go OP: Original Fragrance Thread so Dr Galen won't have to go looking for it either.

    Lots of good advice in there, but remember that due to pheremones one fragrance on someone can smell totally different (either more alluring or repellant) on another person.

    You don't have to spend a small fortune on a nice aftershave, i find that the best aren't the fashionable high cost brands, the classic shaving shaving scents are streets ahead of the fashionable stuff, check out shaving.ie Chris has some great stuff and at reasonable prices, and he's a regular poster over on facial hair and hats forum.

    Abercrombie & Fitch - Fierce
    Only aftershave I've ever worn where complete strangers (women of course) start a conversation to compliment it. Very weird but also very awesome

    Hugo Boss Original
    Hugo Boss Energise
    Armani Black Code
    Davidoff Cool Water
    Davidoff Cool Water Deep
    Joop!
    Dior Fahrenheit
    La Coste Essential


    I use all of the above and love them all. Really cannot go wrong with any of them (although Joop! can be a little heavy and overbearing at times!)

    My personal favourite from the above list is Hugo Boss Original. Tasteful, fragrant and not too heavy. Can't really go wrong.

    My brother got David Coolwater from FragranceX.com the other day and I have to say it smells very nice!

    I've heard good things about the A&F Fierce one as well - I might consider buying it. I assume it won't be in Boots so I can test it before I buy it?

    I find the idea of men applying fragrances appalling. Maybe it's my strong sense of smell but I've always found women's perfumes repulsive and nauseating. Men smell good, we don't need added "extras".

    Different strokes...

    I don't really wear perfume. But I wouldn't exactly oppose anyone who chooses to wear it.

    Oh, and I used to find perfume quite nauseating, until I realised that there exist a huge range of different smells and types, and that those which are kinda nauseating should be used sparingly.

    LOL Boston :D

    A tip I picked up from a hairdresser is if going out to put a bit in your hair cos it lingers longer.

    i think the idea of bathing in aftershave is awful alright. We all know what young lads can be like. A nice subtle fragrance though is ok. Small amounts though. I shouldn't smell it unless we're in very close proximity.

    Ok, I'll concede to the point that idiots who bathe in aftershave should be shot, it never hurts to sometimes wear some when going out. Subtle fragrances do nothing to hurt anyone and are pleasant, but yes, lads who douse themselves in aftershave should not be allowed to buy any at all!!!

    One of the lads was wearing something this evening in training which smelled noticeably better then stale tobacco. Definitely wasn't after shave, so I concluded it was a fragrance. How do you go about bring up these things anyway? "While you had me in the arm lock, I couldn't help but notice you smelled less of BO then the other lads, what's that about?" ;)

    LOL - I know a few ladies and am settled down. And if a woman says its a nice touch surely its worth listening to. ;)


    Thats not the half of it.

    Oh and I exfoliate once a week and use moisturiser every day. I've nine different types of cologne, and I also enjoy shoe shopping and have been known to spend a day off relaxing at the spa with an excellent mudwrap, massage and facial. Ah .

    I really liked Curve by Liz Claiborne, a couple boys i used to kiss wore that, though I'm not sure if it's as well known on this side of the atlantic?

    I also like Abercrombie & Fitch smell [im not sure if they do multiple ones?]...which is embarrassing because i wouldn't really dig guys who shop there, but anytime i've walked past that store the smell would pull me in. my head knows i should smell it and think "fake-tanned douchebag in an overpriced shirt"...but instead it turns me on. sad story.

    i suppose i like those fragrances because they're both quite youthful [but not crayons/play doh youthful..] -it creeps me out when i'm with a guy and notice he smells like a dad.

    Calvin Kline "One" on a man. Something about it makes me go weak at the knees. The Pacco Robane (sp?) in the green bottle is nice. Forget the name of it, though. Ted Baker do some yummy woody scents too.

    As for girly fragrances, my personal favorites would be:
    -Bond Girl by Avon= floral with a hint of rosewood.
    -Kylie Minogue: Sweet Darling =smells exactly like candyfloss!
    -Harajuku Lovers: Lil' Angel by Gwen Stephani =Really fresh, fruity scent-kind of like cut mandrins and peaches. I consider it my personal signature scent.
    -DKNY: Be Deliscious (the green one) = Light musky scent with a strong undertone of apples.
    Absinthe by Christian Lacroix = Musky, woody scent with traces of aniseed scent and a distinctive "absinthe" tang.

    I also absolutely adore Organza and Organza: Indecense by Givinchy (I think) but as far as I can see, they've both gone off the market. A shame, really, as those two scents were staples of my childhood.

    Feck, now I want to stock up on some Lil' Angel when I go shopping later! XD

    At various stages of my life to date:

    Christian Dior Fahrenheit Aftershave

    Ralph Lauren - Polo Sport Aftershave

    Hugo Boss

    Always hated Paco Rabanne if that means anything...
