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.

Armani stronger with you intensely is beautiful my 15 year old loves it. His friends call round for a spray before they go out 🤣

Trumpers (old Mayfair barbers) have a very good range of fragrances - I like West Indian Limes (citrus) and Spanish Leather (woody). Despite the Jermyn Street pedigree the prices are not high and the products have staying power without being overwhelming. The larger glass bottles are rather elegant too which is a bonus when buying as a present. https://www.trumpers.com/mens-fragrances/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAuou6BhDhARIsAIfgrn4fxyEYPRAZGOWR4D533t800B3tUZxDxuei4JGusLqs3W5BzI-XSHwaAvNUEALw_wcB

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

I used to love this back in the day.

Trumper's line is wonderful, as is Bulgari (blue or green).

If you want another option for a 'taster' set Saltworks is worth a look, they have a nice range of scents with great staying power and a range of base and top notes.

Aqua Di Parma oud and spice is my DH's current favourite.

@Vax I haven't smelled that-thanks for the suggestion. I love ADP aftershaves so I'm going to give this a try.

I’ve bought the Tom Ford and Creed samplers from JL. They also have one for ADP.

Fragrance is so difficult to get right a sampler set seems like a safe bet.

Another vote for L'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake. I bought it for DH and it's lovely. He's had lots of comments on it as well. DM and SIL commented on it on a family night out too and they rarely ask about aftershave.
