DH and I were talking about Christmas gifts, and he says he'd like a new aftershave! He has a selection of various ones but isn't keen. He doesn't like Sauvage, or any of the "major" ones.
Fragrances he enjoys are the perfumes I wear from Lush - spiced things with pine and sandalwood, fresh, herby? I mean, I could buy him one of those because they're pretty neutral and not feminine or masculine but I don't know.
Favourite scents he says:
Ink
Trees
Rain
Horses 🤣
Woodsmoke.
He's 40, historian, academic, manly in a very romantic novel kind of way to give you a picture. Very outdoorsy, musical, fix anything, Norwegian. I've got no idea if this helps! Can give more if needed, I think scents are quite personal.
I find scents so hard because I've never gone for big names myself - I don't like overpowering smells that you smell on people in the street? Obviously it's for him, but I'd like it to suit him and I think I know what he means but...I can't place a finger on it!
