dh hasn't worn aftershave for years.

he has asked for some for christmas.

I need to like it, and since ds have become v intolerant of overpowering perfumes.....most perfumes come under this category.

I can just about tolerate jo malone perfumes (even like a couple of them).

so I guess I'm asking, what are the very nicest aftershaves, and are there any all natural ingredients brands that I can seek out?

thanks

Jo Malone Blue Agava is nice - heartily approved by DH.
He also likes the Lavender and amber one.

That does sound nice, cod...I've already bought dh's pressies but I could get just one more...

Is it really, really nice (I don't think my local Boots has Hermes and I'm not going into Manchester again before Christmas)?

Tell you what - soph, you go and smell it then tell me if I should buy it or not.

we don't do aftershaves chez palazzo peahead so I can't help you I'm afraid....

My DH is also not too keen on aftershave and I have bought him Dior Homme for Christmas which I thought was lovely. I tested it on myself and thought it was delicious. The only way I can describe it is warm and soft. This website has a description. Instead of aftershave, I bought aftershave balm so it will be less intense and I got the deodorant and shower gel too. All came in a beautiful leather box which could be used by me for my jewels, if I had such a thing.
