Does anyone wear a scent predominantly for men rather than perfume and if so, which one?

I love love love the smell of some fresh aftershaves that men wear, I find a lot of them fresher and longer lasting that perfume. I'd love to buy one for me but wonder if anyone else does this and if so, which one?

I don't but I would (if I could justify adding yet more perfumes to my collection!). I really like Eau Sauvage. And there's a Jo Malone one that I think is aimed at men - I think it's Black Cedar and something - which is lovely. I really like sandalwoody smells which are often marketed more at men.

I wear a unisex scent - Maxed Out by 4160 Tuesdays. Initially it smelled very much like an aftershave to me. Now it just smells like my fav scent.

I wore Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford for a while.

Putting the boot on the other foot, DS(15) wears my Aqua di Gioa all the blooming time.

I wear Dior Homme, Terre d'Hermes and Carthusia 1684. I love spicy, woody scents and find men's scents a lot better for that.

My favourite male perfume is Heritage by Guerlain.

I don't but Issey Miyake is really nice

MisguidedAngel · 24/05/2017 16:05

I wear Aramis Devin - hard to get nowadays, but it's available in Jersey. Most "female" perfumes smell too sweet on me.

BringMeTea · 24/05/2017 16:15

Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. Love it.

violetgrey · 24/05/2017 17:15

Yes! I pinch my husband's Tabacco Toscano cologne by Santa Maria Novella. It's lovely.

shamoffour · 24/05/2017 17:17

Yes, sauvage by Dior love it.

MrsCornish · 24/05/2017 17:19

Le labo Santal 33 is very gender neutral. I get loads of comments when i wear it. 95% very positive, the rest not so much Grin

winterinmadeira · 24/05/2017 17:25

I love jo malone's amber and lavender which is v fresh and musky- I don't know if it is aimed at men though. My DM wears pomegranate noir from JM and again it's v fresh and masculine.

AnnieDog · 24/05/2017 17:28

I wear Eau de Rochas pour homme. It's really fresh and citrussy.
