Nicest fragrance

Boston · 12-04-2010 10:40pm

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?"

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

You go to a hairdresser? I appear to be the only man on this forum;).

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 .

Try Sex Panther, Apparently, 60% of the time, it works everytime.

Sorry, Just Had To.

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.

Gucci by emmmm Gucci is my current favourite

And a big +1 to this. Got it for Christmas and im very happy with it. Smells alot better than I thought it would.

McChubbin · 15-04-2010 3:24am

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

OxfordComma · 15-04-2010 11:24pm

I'd recommend Armani Code.

Cicero · 16-04-2010 12:02am

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...

foxyboxer · 16-04-2010 11:47am

Only a Gentleman would wear a real man's fragrance.

BRUT

or failing that

Old Spice

G-Money · 16-04-2010 4:03pm

I got Escada Magnetism and 1 Million by Paco Robanne. Both are brilliant.

Old Spice is for drinking

212 Sexy men or Ralph Lauren.

There was one from Gucci that I really liked but I can't remember the name of it!

Fierce from Abercrombie & Fitch is unbelievable almost any night I wear it some girl will stop me and ask me what it is, women love it.....Armani Mania gets a fair bit of attention as well..

Sometimes when I put this on I don't even bother going out for the night, just sit in my room and think about how many beautiful women I could have got with. Great fragrance.:)

padi89 · 19-04-2010 2:30pm

At the moment i have bottles of

Geo F Trumper Astor and Spanish Leather, Astor is incredible Spanish leather is so so. The last shop bought one was L'occitane Vetyver, it's really nice very natural. Can't stand majority of the designer fragrances in Boots, most are very synthetic, metrosexual and headache inducing, they all seem aimed at teens, no masculine qualities at all.

I wrote to a few perfume houses some weeks back and got send a load of samples, it will take me a year or two to get through them all but it cost nothing

Grandmaster I got it in the A & F store in New York. You can't buy it on their online store as it won't allow you ship liquids. I have seen it on ebay but be careful with fakes

Standard Toaster · 20-04-2010 11:41am

Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male

I call it 'The leg opener'

I bought some on eBay actually and it arrived today. It looks legit to me, I bought from a seller who seemed to have a very good reputation. I had a good look at the bottle and packaging there as well, all seems normal.

The scent is quite nice. I think I prefer 1 Million by Paco Rabanne but I will have to try Fierce the next time I'm out

DubMedic · 22-04-2010 3:31pm

Lacoste Red.
Jean Paul Gaultier.

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

My favourite too. Smells awsome.

Also really like Cool Water by Davidoff. Although, why cigarette companies make cologne. I don't understand. Dunhill being another example.

G-Money · 24-04-2010 10:40pm

I was tempted to go out tonight, just to test out Fierce by Abercrombie and Fitch, but I don't think I am now.

Got this few weeks ago and my female friends love it.

Had it on night out and helped too;)

DazMarz · 12-05-2010 2:37pm

Bought a selection of Davidoff fragrances over the weekend...

Cool Water is the classic one, and I love it. Gorgeous fragrance that can be a little overpowering at times, but I find it perfect.

Hot Water is a new fragrance from Davidoff and is much more delicate than the above and I believe will have wider appeal.

Adventure, not unlike LaCoste Original to me, which is a plus!!! Lovely aftershave...

D'Agger · 12-05-2010 5:33pm

Armani Code
Polo Black
Lacoste Red
JPG - Le Male - even though every 14year old in the country is probably wearing it by now

Hi guys, some great suggestions above.

Does anybody know where I could buy A&F - Fierce - it has been out of stock on fragrancex.com for ages!

I got mine on eBay. Didn't get any wimmens approaching me though the last night I wore it out.

Peyton Manning · 16-05-2010 8:37am

Sean John - Unforgivable

I second this, I have a bottle and it goes down a treat as a conversation starter, mostly "Daragh why do you smell like gasoline?"

Browney7 · 30-06-2010 8:50pm

Yeah A and F Fierce is one that the wimminz seem to love.

Boss Energize is very nice too.

nmblade · 18-07-2010 6:31pm

I regulalrly use Kouros by YSL. It appears to be lesser known and has a nice, distinct whiff to it.

Latchy · 18-07-2010 9:02pm

Was given a bottle of Gucci pour homme for christmas present and spray a little on before going out which smells nice and refreshing so that does me fine .

nullzero · 19-07-2010 8:40pm

Clinique Happy ,I got it as a gift, really distinct light fragrance. It seemed to last most of the day in work the first time I wore it too. Probably my favorite now.

sassychick · 21-07-2010 6:34pm

Shane732 · 01-08-2011 6:09pm

I didn't want to start a new thread so decided to bring this one back up....

I'm wondering if anyone has ever used Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa. If you have what are your opinions on it?

Ah-Watch · 01-08-2011 6:25pm

1. Abercrombie & Fitch- Fierce. ALWAYS get great compliments on how sexy it is

2. Paco Robanne 1 Million

3. Armani Code

Always have to make sure I have a bottle of Abercrombie cos tis rare that someone else is wearing it as you cant buy it here.

Lippy C · 01-08-2011 6:32pm

Armani code, I love smelling that on a man

Shane732 · 01-08-2011 6:34pm

Armani Code is definitely one of my favourite

Raze_them_all · 01-08-2011 8:00pm

Code here too. Have bottles of the stuff that kept getting as gifts ha

force majeure · 01-08-2011 9:54pm
