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 wore Grey Flannel in high school (in the 80s). Smile

I wear Givenchy Play. DH got an aftershave tester set one Christmas which had this in it and I loved the smell so bought my own bottle.

Quercus by Penhaligon is very nice.

When Dad was alive, mum and I once bought him The Dior Fahrenheit stuff. It is quite strong . We loved it but with his sinus trouble he couldn't even smell it!!!!!

Haven't bought it yet but as I mentioned on here before, Floris Elite, which a female colleague wore. It is gorgeous - just like Imperial Leather!!

The original Tom Ford. I don't think it's called anything. It reminds me of the old Gucci Envy which I used to adore.
I also wear Tommy rather than Tommy girl which smells naff on me and Aesop Marrakech Intense.

I wear the juniper and black cedar jo maline one and love it. The ex told me to get rid of it...I got rid of him instead 😂

I second Dirty by Lush. It's fabulous.

I've been tempted but I have a signature scent.

Also love Dunhill and Acqua di Parma. Now primarily wear niche scents (a wanky descriptor, don't know how else to characterise them) like Parfum d'Empire Wazamba, Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles, CdG Avignon, Le Labo Rose 31 which I believe are meant to be for anyone.

Dirty by Lush. Not sure if unisex but it's gorgeous

I've worn Roma for men from Laura Biagiotti for 20+ years. I never get tired of it and haven't smelled anything else that reminds me of it.

If I could afford it I also love Creed's Royal Oud. Even the smallest sized bottle is WAY out of my budget though

I wear both the unisex scents from French Connection. One is citrusy and the other is woody - both really nice. The woody one is definitely quite masculine, but I love it.

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

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.

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

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