Help! I'm really struggling with what to buy DH this year! It gets harder and harder every year. He has asked for a nice aftershave so I'd love to get him one that's a bit different. He has these aftershave and he loves them so I'm wondering if any knowledge ones out there could suggest something similar- he has
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Aqua Di Parma Colonia Club
Chanel Allure
Terre D'Hermes though he hasn't worn this for years I don't think.
Thanks. I'm really clueless.

Dior Savage is gorgeous.

TheBigSalami · 24/11/2024 15:46

My husband wears Savage, Y by YSL and also the Jo Malone Cypressy one that I can’t remember the name of.

He used to wear Vera Wang which I loved but is no longer made.

sunshinechaser · 24/11/2024 15:47

Thanks both. I've never smelled Dior Savage so I'll find it when I'm in town next. My DS has asked for YSL Y so that's out for DH!

I love the Dior Sauvage too. I like Ombre Leather and I wear Oud Wood. What about a Creed fragrance, the silver mountain water is nice. X

NippyCrab · 24/11/2024 15:48

Ps Creed do a sample box as do Tom Ford. I love Tobacco vanille too but it's not a masculine scent I don't think I wear it sometimes. X

StinkyWizzleteets · 24/11/2024 15:49

My teen says don’t get sauvage (sausage) as that’s what all the boys in school wear!

i like issey miyaki and Boss aftershaves

Thevelvelletes · 24/11/2024 15:50

Chanel anthaeus..I may have spelt that wrong.

Yes, I got my son a Creed Coffret last year for Christmas. Pretty decent sized vials and the scent really lasts.

Mont Blanc legend is my do's favourite! And mine. Also Issey Miyake L'Eau D'issey is a firm favourite!

mumofkyle · 24/11/2024 15:52

For an every day, not too dear, Chanel Allure Sport is a really love, fresh aftershave.

Sorry, DP's favourite I meant!

BoobyDazzler · 24/11/2024 15:54

Sauvage is lovely, as is Armani Code.

If money is no object then Creed.

I don’t think Tom Ford perfume is worth the money. Between dh and I we’ve got a few and they just don’t last, although they do smell lovely for 15 minutes.

MistMe · 24/11/2024 15:57

I love
Creed
Cacharel
JPG
Mont Blanc

JobHuntingMum · 24/11/2024 15:58

Following as I really am stuck as to what to get DH!

sunshinechaser · 24/11/2024 15:59

Thanks all. Great ideas. My DS age 14 has just told me to avoid Dior Savage too so sounds as if this isn't popular with the kids 😂

I don't think I'd pay the money for Creed-don't think he would appreciate it.

Barbour do really nice aftershaves, esp the newest one.

RoseDog · 24/11/2024 16:03

Dp has not long been to the Jo malone shop today and he has hinted the Jo malone that Tom Hardy advertises is really really nice!

sunshinechaser · 24/11/2024 16:05

I do love Jo Malone scents but just don't think they have staying power unfortunately.

I love this! Haven't smelt it in years! Reminds me of an old boyfriend.

AmICrazyToEvenBother · 24/11/2024 16:08

I recently smelt YSL MYSLF and liked that.

Wheresthekitten · 24/11/2024 16:08

Following too!

Hugo Boss one is lovely (sorry if there's more than one!)

PourUsAGlass · 24/11/2024 16:09

Prada Luna Rossa Carbon. It's absolutely gorgeous!

EauNeu · 24/11/2024 16:11

Have a look on fragrantica to see the notes in some scents that he likes and it will recommend similar

Elderflower14 · 24/11/2024 16:12

Many years ago my late DH used to wear Davidoff Cool Water... He smelt amazing...
