Today I am wearing DH's aftershave

This morning I didn't fancy putting on any of my perfumes, so decided to wear some of dh's Chanel Allure (for men obv). I really, really like it on me! I don't even think it smells particularly masculine - it seems to on dh, but doesn't now I am wearning it. I am now pondering how to get away with nicking it without him noticing.

I was a big fan of CK One back in the day, and I've worn Cool Water in the past, but didn't like that one as much; it smelt more obviously aftershave-y. Are there any other boy-scent thieves out there?

yeah I nick DH's hugo boss Blush

for daytime, it seems to just turn into a really nice, fresh fragrance on my skin

I wear Comme de Garcons 2 now and again. It's heavenly!

Yes Me! Dh has a Molton Brown aftershave which I love on me Grin

I often wear perfumes marketed for men.

Some good ones to steal from the boys: Eau Sauvage, Dior; Antaeus and Egoiste, Chanel; Yatagan by Caron. I also love vintage Paco Rabanne pour Homme and Azzaro pour Homme. They are very manly, but I love them.

Some of my female friends really love Fahrenheit by Dior and Dior Homme.

If you like woody, mossy or citrusy scents or anything with lavender, men's department has a much better selection than women's.

Me. I wore dp's Gucci at the weekend - and I am forever nipping into Selfridges to steal a squirt of Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, which is as masculine as they get and utterly gorgeous.

I love Obsession for men - don't like the female version though.

jessiegeesusinamanger · 14/11/2012 19:48

Me too. I've worn aftershave for 25 years!!!! It's one called Roma by Laura Biagiotti. I've had so many compliments over the years too and when I try something different I always end up coming back to it again. It's hard to get hold of (usually I get it in duty free on my way back from hols). I can't imagine what it would be like on a man though. It smells very feminine imo. There are very few women's perfumes I like or that suit me.

I've worn Geoffrey Beene's Grey Flannel for years.

Woman's perfume seems to go "off" on my skin, so I have worn Cool Water in the past and had a lot of compliments. Use the Woman version now and get the same though.

Eying up a few scents for Christmas though! Grin

Davidoffs cool water for men is lushGrin, i nick it of dh Blush

I too wear the Chanel Allure Sport Cologne. I bought it first (for me) and now, DH wears it and replaces it, when it runs out. It's a classic IMO.

LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake · 15/11/2012 08:32

I wear the Caron lavender one and the Miller Harris Tabac which is unisex but is very masculine on dh.

I like woody, deep scents. And if I want it a tiny bit less masculine then you can always spray a touch of a floral on top - single note ones are good like Rose.

buttercrumble · 15/11/2012 13:00

I prefer mens aftershave, anything by Tom Ford smells devine. i love woody smelling fragrances......

auldspinster · 15/11/2012 17:37

I have eau sauvage by dior, mouchour de monsieur (sp?)by Guerlain and man's Be Delicious by Donna Karan

RyanGoslingRocks · 15/11/2012 19:00

Yep I wear dh's Dolce & Gabbana, it's the male version of the red woman's D&G, in a dark blue velvet box. It's light and fresh, loads of people have asked me what I'm wearing when I put it on, I love it

duvetheaven · 15/11/2012 23:23

Another vote for Grey Flannel

ElectricMonk · 16/11/2012 00:19

I like Ferrari Black in winter - on me it smells like warm ginger cake :D.

The rest of the time I wear Lush Karma, which is a pretty unisex scent IMO.
