to think that if you're a 34 year old man, you really shouldn't still be wearing Lynx?

Divvy - get yourself over to that thread again PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

solidgoldbrass · 10/03/2009 17:07

Why on earth not? I know that skin texture, etc, changes as you get older so that some make up realy won't do after about 35, but the composition of male skin doesn't change so much that a fragrance which smelt nice previously will suddenly smell different.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 10/03/2009 17:08

Lynx is for 13/14 year old boys who actually believe the ads.

chokes on remembered fumes

KatyMac · 10/03/2009 17:08

Why?

DH is 56 & wears Lynx & it suits him

Divvy · 10/03/2009 17:08

I love the smell of Joop, is my dh too old for it at 47?

scampadoodle · 10/03/2009 17:08

34 yr old men shouldn't skateboard in the street wearing cutoff trousers either.

ninah · 10/03/2009 17:09

Most men have a bottle somewhere don't they? Kouros, now, that is a crime

poshwellies · 10/03/2009 17:10

It's got to better than BO.

FAQinglovely · 10/03/2009 17:10

tegan · 10/03/2009 17:11

What's wrong with Lynx? My DH wears it and he smells luvverly.

Psychomum my true love when I was 17 wore Mandate and I thought it smelled gorgeous! And then my true love when I was 18 wore Kouros and I thought that was gorgeous too

YANBU

I like the smell of Lynx, but only in a Mrs Robinson sort of way.

GetOrfMoiLand · 10/03/2009 17:23

No - not too old to wear Joop, I love the smell of that and wish I could get DP tp wear that (he is wedded to Dior Homme)

I am absolutely shocked that so many people like the smell. It is so grim it makes my eyes water. I don't particularly like any smell on a man though.

solidgoldbrass · 10/03/2009 20:47

I would much rather smell any kind of body spray/aftershave/deodorant than stale sweat, fags, kebabs and farts emanating from a bloke.
