Sexy scent on a man

71 replies

Alicia88 · 28/12/2023 12:37

I'm looking for a fragrance, cologne, body moisturiser that's very attractive on a man.

Basically it's a gift but I want something a bit out of the ordinary.. unique. Not sandlewood or some fancy big name fragrance that everyone goes for

I always liked Dior Fahrenheit, Creed and Yohji Yamamoto Homme, on different men.

And Burberry Touch.

Have to agree with a pp, on different men aftershaves smell different to me, so one like Brad Pitt could wear lion’s pee and if I fancied Brad then I’d like it.

The Dries Van Noten ones have more masculine ones which are great and not mainstream.

Le Labo also great but more well known.

Carolina Herrera 212 men has always been my favourite scent on a man, i love it, but its all down to personal choice.

Avacardo2023 · 28/12/2023 16:53

Abercrombie Fierce, it's the best aftershave I've ever smelt

Diptyque Orphéon - irresistible! 💕

Is this meant for men? My DH gave it to me for my Christmas as I love the smell. I have always loved the smell of aftershave though so it makes no difference one way or the other!

Molecule 1, I absolutely adore it.

Molecule 1, I absolutely adore it.

I just got my H molecule 5 - his choice, but I preferred molecule 1.

Hermès Terre D'Hermès (link) is lovely, very sexy and different. I bought it for my ex and we were last going through a wedding line up and the bride declared him the best smelling man there (presumably not including her new husband!).

Yiayoula · 28/12/2023 17:11

@ApolloandDaphne Honestly don’t know, and don’t think it matters .
Some of the Jo Malone and Penhaligon fragrances are ( IMHO! ) suitable for both sexes also .

confusedrn · 28/12/2023 17:12

Acqua di Parma, Tom Ford or any Replica scents (jazz club, by the fireplace)

catzrulz · 28/12/2023 17:51

@TheTurn0fTheScrew I first smelled it on a male nurse when I was having chemo and hated perfume and aftershave.
If I could have I'd have followed him home, got my son some and it was as nice as I remembered.
They included a sample with Patchouli and it was lovely too.

Another vote for Caroline Herrera Bad Boy.

is it bad I can’t stand sauvage? 😂

Sparkletastic · 28/12/2023 18:17

What's your budget OP?

Simonjt · 28/12/2023 18:21

Floris London Jermyn Street, it needs to be worn on skin, not clothing, it smells even better when warm.

Marylou62 · 28/12/2023 18:21

Aqua de Silva is what my husband wears..
Hard to find tho...

almondflake · 28/12/2023 18:28

Halfeti by penhaligans is an awesome perfume for men or women , it's so warm and sexy . I love it on my husband .

Same - it's my all time fav and honestly my knees still go weak when my husband wears it.

Tequilamockinbird · 28/12/2023 19:18

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver.

WhatACluster · 28/12/2023 20:08

Dior Savuage and Jean Paul Le male are the two dh wears and smells amazing wearing either

I’ve always found that different scents smell differently on people what smells great on one person doesn’t smell great on another

Moonshine5 · 28/12/2023 20:08

Black leather Tom Ford
