I suspect he wore those on his last date and they were running for the hills and the scented fields, and fragrant woodland meadows. 🩶 |

Hai Karate… or Denim.. sadly the only stockists now seem to be Amusement Arcade crane machines.. so theoretically it could cost £200 a bottle… 
Other than that its very dependant on the individual as fragrance interacts with you.. so someone might suggest something that smells great on them but has a whiff of cat piss on you..
Shop around for ones you like the smell of…  |

I actually like Bleu De Chanel but Dior Sauvage has got alot a hate despite being a best seller and very commonly worn. Need to stand out a bit. |

Hello OP, unfortunately recommending a scent is not like recommending a Plumber. Only you can personally determine which scent you will like and what will be suitable.
If someone you know wears a particular cologne and you happen to like it, it may potentially smell different on you because of the differing characteristics of your pulse points, skin temperature variations, body heat, natural pheromones and perspiration. Therefore suggested recommendations don't always follow through, regrettably.
You might already have an idea if you prefer 'citrussy' scents or musky or leather and so forth... Go to a store, try smelling some and applying two or three in different places (but no more in one visit). What you're smelling are just the Top Notes. You can only smell two or three in one go before your 'nose' gives up. So it means frequent visits to the store.
The Base Notes (Heart Notes) are the ones that come through once you get home after having tried a few in store. That's why it's not advisable to buy something there and then because the underlying scent will come through much later and you may dislike it. Also consider Longevity... some scents / colognes / perfumes require frequent application during the day because of their strength, potency and concentrations of alcohol versus oil (essence).
If you settle for a scent with poor longevity I would suggest complementing with items from the same product line: shower gel, deodorant etc.
At the end of the day it's horses for courses - I find Halfeti nauseating and I detest anything that contains arabic resin or oud. |

"Of course Mr Nero is correct. But I’ve made two boyfriends wear Hugo Boss Bottled and it made my clit twitch with both of them. "
The original in clear bottle? Own it already. I get the impression the ones I already own besides Chanel don't have the longevity or projection - so need to up my fragrance game 😬 |

Boss just gets better as the night goes on. Remember it fades more for you than others. Don’t over do the aftershave. Overpowering smells can be gross. Had to get rid of his Hugo boss night for that reason |

Always liked L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme and have had a few compliments when I wear it, although as I type I've become suddenly paranoid that it's maybe because I normally smell bad?
But as others have said it may not suit you so try a few in a shop. |

Can guys start wearing age appropriate aftershave please.
Walking round Tesco and you get a whiff of some luscious aftershave, turn around, and there's bloody Uncle Albert. |

oh I have had women drop a basket full of jars in the supermarket when wearing.. the fancy stuff homing in on me like a heatseaking missile ... then bosh mug shot ..a scream and the sound of shattered glass...
I do it on purpose now , if I am being charged for a plastic bag then I want my moneys worth end of. |

I wear both. Not at the same time,I use one or t’other depending on what I’m doing and time of day. Common as muck, me. |

There are plenty of scents out there, and it is very subjective.
Also remember that scents can sit differently on individuals as they react to your skin. What may smell amazing on one person may smell odd on another. What lasts all day on one person could fade quickly on another.
Take the suggestions but get out there and try some |

I do love ouds and vétivers, but even there, as Mr Nero wisely points out, your skin, the balance between the notes, the provenance of the ingredients, etc, will all affect the scent. My go-to remains Lalique's Encre Noir, a very inky, dark wood vétiver scent which suits me. But I loved Creed's Private Collection Sélection Vert, made for Cary Grant and offered in beautiful 250ml bottles, too. Alas, it is no more.
One day I shall treat myself to the bespoke experience at Floris. |

"I absolutely love Jo Malone products, but don't buy them all too often anymore as I don't use fragrance products much these days.
Pomegranate Noir is probably my all time favourite."
Did try out Cypress and Grapevine. Smells insane but the longevity is not there. |

What do you mean by projection? It's a scent. People aren't supposed to smell you across a room?! 🤣 |

That's been my experience with women's scents. You can smell them before you see them. It's off putting for me. Aftershave and men's fragrances are even worse. Less is more in my opinion. The only person who should be able to smell you is the one closest to you. |

I prefer stronger scents. I like these ones:
YSL - La Nuit De L’Homme Le Parfum
Tom Ford - Noir Extreme
Tom Ford - Oud Wood
JPG - Le Male
Viktor + Rolf - Spicebomb Extreme
Diesel - Bad
Montblanc - Explorer
|

Spicebomb extreme is one of my favourites
Keep a backup boxed bottle for when mine runs out
Dior Oud Ispahan is a lovely oud,
And Penhaligons bewitching Yasmine is also lovely (Marketed as women's, but is unisex)
Then there's some great exclusively Middle eastern brands but a pain to get a hold of from here |

If you like a strong scent.
Check out any of the Montale/Mancera range
They'll knock your socks off
Longevity/sillage (Projection) off the charts |

"Anyone used any specific ones that have caused panties/knickers to drop pretty quickly?
I'll be delighted to be proved wrong, but I fear there's a bit more to it than that...

There used to be pheromone sprays advertised in the back of some disreputable publications that claimed to do just that. I don't think there was any scientific evidence to support their claims though. |

Well, I for one am stunned at the lack of research to back up those ads. |
