My dad says he would love some aftershave for christmas. For years he has been an Anteus(Chanel) man so I thought maybe I would get something different. I know he'd like to try something else but is just not going to get around to spending ages looking for one he likes.

Do you have a favourite aftershave recommendation? I am going shopping later to sniff out some but as my dh hates smelly things I am like a lost sheep here.

oh theres loads you can try! just find a friendly assistant (i always think they look scary but are fine when spoken to!) and get her to give you loads of free samples.

hugo boss and dolce and gabbana would be nice for a dad i think. hth xxx

I was just going to say Boss or D & G too, nailpolish! Both very pleasant.

Chanel Allure Sport is very nice.

My Dad and FIL both wear Brut 33, so that's all I can think of when "Dad" and "aftershave" are mentioned in the same sentence!

The great smell of Brut, eh, Kate? Wink "Splash it on all over!!!"

I remember when it first came out (c1965), getting onto the open platform of a double decker bus and choking on the fumes - the culprit was sitting upstairs at the front!!!

OTOH Old Spice isn't bad, esp considering how old and cheap it is.
