What’s the sexiest male fragrance you’ve smelt? DH birthday coming up and my favourite fragrance on him has always been Mont Blanc Explorer but looking for other recommendations.

If I smell Tom Fords Black Orchid on a man I want to ride him immediately.
Does that meet your criteria?

Missstified · 07/12/2025 03:09

Le Male, Jean Paul Gaultier.
Some dupes are also great for everyday.

Agree with JPG

I'm a bit puzzled but I assume you mean it has a 'horse smell'. 🐎
I'm not sure that I would like that.

Ralph Lauren Polo.

Ysl myslf le parfum, not to be confused with myslf edp which smells less sexy!

Sparkletastic · 07/12/2025 07:03

Creed Aventus

ginislife · 07/12/2025 07:22

It always was Estée Lauder for men but it was long ago discontinued I think, along with Aramis. These days Creed Aventus, Hugo Boss or Dior Sauvage

LottieMary · 07/12/2025 07:34

Old spice. Really. Probably cos that’s what my husband wore when we first met

Defiantly41 · 07/12/2025 08:38

Terre d’Hermes
Chanel Anteus
Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce ( very strong, needs a light hand in application)

I'm well jel on those of you that can name men's fragrances that you love.
My dh hates anything like that and the best I can hope for is a whiff of his deodorant !

Never met a straight man who wears JPG Le Male, always associate it with Gay men for some reason- it seemed to be quite the ‘secret handshake’ back in the day when it first came out. Maybe that’s changed these days as it’s been around so long and I’m not with the times.

Egoiste or Halfeti for me, but both need a light touch.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 07/12/2025 09:10

Sauvage

ImWearingPantaloons · 07/12/2025 09:25

Coconutter24 · 07/12/2025 11:46

Dior sauvage

EBearhug · 07/12/2025 11:47

Surely it will depend who it is on? One's own skin can affect the way a scent smells, so something that may be great in general may not work on a particular individual.

I think that was just a certain type of male who thought a bottle with a naked male form was "gay".

Defrostedmariahcarey · 07/12/2025 11:51

Anything Tom ford or dior sauvage

TheWiseAmethyst · 07/12/2025 11:55

Ralph Lauren Polo green
Creed Aventus
Years ago M&S as St Michaels did an aftershave called "Burgundy". Oh my, that was utterly divine.
