fragrance for men

[Stanley Leisure]

I wear Juniper Sling by Penhaligon’s. It’s a zesty treat.

I’ve only ever had one sip of a cup of tea in my life. Is that similar?

 

 

I am with pip nasty, what's wrong with a good spray of lynx and the smell of tea just makes me want to throw up, has to be vilest drink ever invented 

[charlie clown]

I have a bit of a problem with a lot of them because they just don't last one me, at least as far as I can tell, so, as nice smelling as they may be, I feel like they're a waste of money.

 

I usually have a few on the go for different occasions, currently have two different Aqua di Parma options, a Dior Allure Homme Sport, Eau Sauvage Extreme (which I don't think is anywhere near as good as the classic lemony Eau Sauvage in the orangey box and which you can hardly find these days), and two different Tom Fords (the Grey Vetiver is my go to day-to-day one at the moment) and Floris No.89.   

 

Wish I could justify paying for Creed as I really like a couple of those but they are just bonkers prices.

[Beardsley]

Was anyone around in the 80s?

Kouros (pulling potion, as we called it)

Then Drakar (ultimate pulling

Honourable mention to Paco Raban (sp)

There just aren’t any great fragrances anymore.

The ones you mentioned plus

Jacomo de Jacomo

Nino Cerruti pour homme

Monsieur Rochas

 

Those three got the girls sniffing

[Molby]

just remembered, these days I mostly buy my fragrances from the perfume factory in Place de Vosges, in the Marais region of Paris

anyone know it? it's near the Victor Hugo museum

it's good fun too, as the owner is quite a showman

A mate of mine is well into it and gets his from Liberty, where they don't have anything so gauche as names, they're all just numbered.

That’s Le Labo, I think.

 

Nice fragrances but quite punchy, price-wise.

[charlie clown]

That's sounds a bit like Le Labo where it looks like they just kind of make up the mix on the spot for you and it's called something like 'leather 26' or 'parsnip 14' depending on which base you choose. I'm always intrigued to the point that I'd love to try it but if, as often happens, I put it on and half an hour later there's no trace of it, I'd feel like I'd wasted a massive amount of money for no good reason at all.

Spice Bomb by Victor Rolf is incredibly manly .

 

 

This made me laugh

Tom Ford ones are a bit lively price wise, no?

 

The one the missus has is Tom Ford and it's about £250 which is crazy money

Hugo Boss Red at the minute for me.

[Barnesy_10]

I started picking up my after shave from copycat 

 

all rip off versions of legit ones.... £22 for Creed instead of £180 

 

got my son the Sauvage rip off for xmas to stop him robbing mine. Smells pretty damn close to the proper one doing a side by side comparison

Does it come in the fake packaging as well, or how it looks on the website?

Nowhere near that kind of price - I think the two have currently were both about £65.

How it looks on the website... Visually it obviously wouldn't be comparable

Two pints of Juniper Sling, please.

I’m at the stage where I wouldn’t shirk at Eau de Ballbag. Nylon chipmunks have a lot to answer for.

 

I quite like a moisturiser.
