Aftershave

**The_Exile** · 11-11-2014 05:28 PM

What are the Hibee nation wearing at the moment? It's coming up for that time of year when the question of "what do you want for xmas" is just around the corner, usually I say "ach just get me some aftershave" which is then disappointedly followed by some rubbish choices all round. This year I'm going to make some requests!

So far I've narrowed it down to:

Jean Paul Gaultier: Le Male
Acqua di Gio
Paco Rabane Million
Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood

Trying to get one that the missus likes but everything I've tried the past 10 years has been met with "meh, it's alright"

Alternate between JPG le male which is my every day choice and Chanel Bleu just now, have had lots of compliments about the Chanel so it's doing the trick

Tom Ford - Grey vertiver

**Pretty Boy** · 11-11-2014 07:12 PM

Acqua di Gio has been my go to every day aftershave for years now. Love it. Paul Smith Extreme gets an airing now and then as well

Also got a bottle of Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. Lovely stuff but at upwards of £100 a go it's one for a special ocassion.

Don't put it on your face fella!

Actually that brings me to a bit of an OCD point, does anybody know of any fragrance house which uses the correct terms on their fragrances? Aftershave is supposed to be 1-3% perfume oil which contains moisturiser, whereas Eau de Toilette is supposed to be 4-8% and is meant purely for the pulse points. I once bought an aftershave and quickly realised after the burning stinging hell on face experience that it wasn't aftershave strength and was EDT strength, bit nowhere did it state this on the bottle, just "aftershave lotion".

As I said, a bit OCD

Creed - Aventus, amazing stuff, but at £150 a bottle it's very expensive

***overdrive*** · 16-11-2014 10:21 PM

Mont Blanc Legend.
Lecoste Rouge.

**~~Peevemor~~** · 16-11-2014 10:32 PM

I never use the stuff. Having a chemical smell stuck constantly under my nose really annoys me. A bit of inoffensive roll-on oxter blitzer is as far as I go.

As for hair gel...
