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?

Another one for Acqua di Parma

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.

Le Labo Santal 33 is gorgeous!

Yes to Fahrenheit - had some for Mothers Day! Grin

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

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

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.

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

I second Dirty by Lush. It's fabulous.

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 😂

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.

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!!

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!!!!!

Quercus by Penhaligon is very nice.

CryingShame · 25/05/2017 08:38

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.

Years ago I used to wear blue stratus
Have also worn Fahrenheit

Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene.

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