DO any of you lot use aftershave?

[withagoat]

i mean as a scent.
i have fallen in love with the mens Prada scent - smells of clean adn soap and i didnt buy it as i thought oh GOD ill smell lik ea bloke

whadday think

I think it is fairly common practice to wear what is 'traditionaly' a male scent if you are female. I've heard of a quite af ew people doing it.

Wear what suits you and you like.

If you feel uncomfortable saying it's a man's one just be vague and say oh i't just one from Prada!' and change the subject.

I do, I wear dh's New West, which I've always loved.
Not going to tell you what it makes me think of

not aftershave per se but I ADORE the hermes pamplemousse cologne

I wear Marc Jacobs 'Bang'. Used to wear CK Eternity for Men.

I used to wear Farenheit back in the day.

Yes, because I like the woody fragrances.

I used to wear Issy Mayake cologne for years. Then a close friends new DP wore it and I had to stop for her benefit

I really like, and have certainly been known to wear, Dior's Eau Sauvage.

DH wears Opus 1870 from Penhaligons and when buying it for him one day the assistant thought it was for me and commented that it is really popular as a women's fragrance in Germany. I think it has a very clean sort of smell to it.

It's just a smell - if you like it, wear it.

I like quite masculine scents. Am wearing the Clarins red one at the moment, which my sister says smells like aftershave but I like a lot.

I often steal dp's Ted Baker men's shower gels, which smell all woody and yummy.

Ideally I'd like a scent that smells of tarmac tbh. :)

I'd say if you like it, go for it.

I sometimes use DH floris vetiver, smells different on me than him. Lots of womens perfume is too sickly for my taste now.

Yes, there are some really nice men's scents. I love Czech and Speake's Neroli.

I've used a mens channel before. Can't remember what it is called.

a friend used Davidoff Cool Water bloke stuff a long time ago

Yes, I use Eau Sauvage, Mouchoir de Monsieur and Habit Rouge and Ormonde Man from time to time. I find when I'm pregnant I prefer them to my usual Serge Lutens/Caron humdingers.

I used to pinch my dad's Kouros!

If I liked it I'd wear it

I wear dh's farenheit or issey miyake etc. tbh a lot of mens aftershaves are very 'unisex' now anyway.

I hate most womens perfume - really sweet and sickly.

"I love Czech and Speake's Neroli."
ooh yes.

Lots of perfumes are unisex (Cartier Declaration springs to mind) and many a metrosexual wears a traditionally female perfume. I love a man in Tabac Blonde (unfortunately they're usually the type not to love me)

Yes to issey miyake.
