Aftershave help - what do you want your man to smell of?

No jokes please!

I can't get out to the shops like everyone else and DH would love some nice aftershave. I'm so out of touch with this - what aftershave does your partner wear that you just love?

My only stipulation is I really don't like Jean Paul Gaultier as it reminds me of an ex boyfriend when I was a late teenager who absolutely stunk of it and it honestly turns my stomach to this day Confused

Dolce & Gabanna -The One - Grey.
Smells just amazing. Rich and luxurious.
I also love Giorgio Armani Aqua di gio which has a more sporty fresh smell.

212 is lovely and also Armani Code. People always compliment my husband when he wears either of these x

Chanel Allure Homme sport - omg amazing
Also a cheaper one that's dreamy on dh is Davidoff cool water
You could always buy a couple of testers on eBay

DH wears YSL L'Homme I love it. Really cosy and woody smelling and just lovely. He rarely wears it though so sometimes I just have a wee sniff out the bottle.

Issy Miyake L'eau D'Issy reminds me of of an old boss I had a crush on in my first job!

I also love the smell of Joop in the purple bottle but I'm showing my age admitting that!

SidVisk · 06/11/2020 12:15

Oh wow, loads of lovely ideas here - yes I never thought of trying to get some testers.

Joop. I don't care if it's a bit tacky. Sexiest smell ever

I was going to say JPG Blush

Chanel Blue is also good

There was a guy at work who wore this and every time I smelled him walking past, one of my eggs would shout, "Fertilise me!" I ended up married to him. Grin

Old school but again, just gorgeous is Dior Fahrenheit.

Natural man tang - nothing better!

NC4Now · 06/11/2020 16:23

Chanel Bleu makes me go weak at the knees! Sexiest smell ever.
