Want to buy some new aftershave for DH for wedding anniversary present.

He like fresh/cool/citrusy types, ie nothing heavy/musky/really perfumed.

What's your favourite??!!

TIA

DH smells fab in citrusy ones - Acqua Di Gio & Dior 'Higher' are both yummy on him.

Medulla · 20/06/2006 14:35

Izzy Miyake/Hugo Boss - grey bottle, think it's called cool water

acnebride · 20/06/2006 14:36

Allure Sport, Ralph Lauren Black, Izzy Miyake is lovely (the also do a summer version which is out in the summer)

the new jpg smells devine...bit like cheap chewing gum iykwim (like the aussie conditioner) but I love it..! Also unisex..!!!

TBH I love farenheit but it's more musky..!! Always makes me weak Wink..!!!

I agree with aqua di gio.. 1st aftershave I ever bought dh 10 years ago...

i have a thing about men and aftershave. i find it a real turn on. even if they're donkeys i'm swooning. sometimes i feel like i'm in one or those old adverts for Impulse or whatever, when a man walks past me and i stop and stare after him...

Makes me go weak at the knees!!Wink

Thanks all, went for a sniff this afternoon (not easy with a fullblown cold), realised that he already has Acqua di Gio when I saw the bottle, so it's a toss up btw Higher Energy and Echo Fizz (summer edition by Davidoff I think)

Thx for all the suggestions, lady in John Lewis thought I was a little strange to go in with a written list LOL

Oh, used to love Kourous til I was pestered by a very annoying admirer at uni 20 (yikes) years ago!

Yes, liked the smell of the DKNY apple one too Smile

212 (I think thats what is called Blush I should really listen more!) smells gorgeous, and I cant resist a man wearing it Wink

aaronsmummy · 20/06/2006 20:16

Issy Miyake everytime.

Cod · 20/06/2006 20:16

OH gdo yes xeryus

VVVQV · 20/06/2006 20:20

Davidoff - Cool Water is cool and citrusy - but it doesnt suit all men.

Aqua Di Gio is also lovely.

My all time favourite doesnt meet your criteria but Obsession for men by Calvin Klein is just soooooooo hmmmmm how can i describe it? Erm - it turns my head in the street put it that way.

Cod · 20/06/2006 20:20

i cnat stand cool water after pregnancy

JoolsToo · 20/06/2006 20:21

Kouros and another one the name of which escapes me - I think its D&G?
