Aftershave

[The_Exile]

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" :rolleyes:

Tom Ford - Grey vertiver:cb

[Pretty Boy]

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.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Acqua di Gio has been my go to every day aftershave for years now.

Me too. Paco Rabanne XS gets an airing every now again too.

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". :brickwall

As I said, a bit OCD :greengrin

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

[overdrive]

Mont Blanc Legend.
Lecoste Rouge.

[Peevemor]

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...

[.Sean.]

Treated myself to Man in Black by Bvlgari.

[The_Exile]

Ended up buying myself some Christina Herrera, missus loves it, result!

[Time For Heroes]

Issey Miyake...

[marinello59]

Brut.

[matty_f]

Hai Karate. :greengrin

[JohnStephens91]

I've got in my collection:

Paul Smith - Sunshine
Roberto Cavalli - Just Cavalli
Jean Paul Gaultier - Kokorico
Dolce and Gabbana - The One
Givenchy - Pi

Any of those are good choices.

[Loopz]

It was always Boss Pure for me, but a colleague came to work in Chanel Bleu so I now have a 2nd choice.

[snooky]

As gay as Michael Barrymore's gay night at the gaiety theatre.

.. in Harringay.

[sleeping giant]

I'm sure the last aftershave I bought was Kouros :greengrin
Every aftershave I have owned since I was 16 has bought for me by women .

[Hank Schrader]

Issey Miyake...

Can't believe nobody has mentioned that yet

Have used that for about ten years now. Always gets noticed.

Having tried various sample things of expensive and not so expensive aftershave over the past few months, I'd now officially like to declare Old Spice and Brut as the winners. Amazingly those two garnered the most positive comments from the womenfolk, nobody liked the Creed Aventus or the Tom Ford Oud Wood, the Acqua di Parma Sardegna was rated as "pretty average", Carolina Herrera CH Men was also a winner but not as much as Old Spice and Brut.

Special mention to my mum who advised "I'd rather a man smell like a man than a hoors handbag" :not worth

Also a mention for Next Signature Night, at £10 for 50mls it's fairly inexpensive and also a hit with the missus, although it seems to only last about 20 minutes on my skin!

Go figure :greengrin

I used to use Hai Karate back in the day.
Got fed up getting attacked by ninjas though.

If anyone's interested in a female opinion, they seem to be selling Cacharel again after an absence of a few years. Lovely! :thumbsup:
