Sexy aftershave?!

51 replies

Letseatgrandma · 13/05/2018 15:25

Can anyone recommend some sexy aftershaves for DH to try? We were sniffing some in Debenhams yesterday but they all seemed to smell of deodorant (and the same!) in the end, so I thought it would be good to have a few names to start me off!

Something sultry/musky and sexy for...ahem..evening wear!!

Bleu by Chanel

londongirl12 · 13/05/2018 18:40

I love the Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce.

negunslean · 13/05/2018 18:42

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather - oh my 🤪

thefudgeling · 13/05/2018 19:26

Sorry to hijack, but does anyone know which men's scent smells a bit like a sexy version of body shop white musk please?

Armani Code Profumo is very sexy on DH.

And the original Issey Miyake - l'eau d'Issey pour homme is one of those fragrances that stops me in my tracks when any man near me is wearing it. The fanny gallop expression used up thread is a bit minging but yes, it definitely has a physical response for me Grin

Thanks ladies! I've written these down!

lasttimeround · 13/05/2018 20:32

Dior Homme as a darker richer one.
Partial to Joop as a fresh one. Or is it cool water? That always make me go mmm in recognition. Think there was a time in my life lots of fanciable men wore that

Also Guerlain vetiver

Fahrenheit makes me feel a bit ill.
Love odd unexpected smells on men. Including florals. And petrichor.

There's an independent fragrance shop (also online) in the Lake District called Bathhouse, their men's fragrances are out of this world and really not terribly expensive. My favourite is the Cuban Cedar and Lime. It's literally the sexiest thing I've ever smelt and I guess because it's not on the high street I've never smelt it on anyone aside from my DP, it's probably just as well too Wink

Second the original Issey Miyake. Anyone wearing that and I have an instinctive reaction to pin them against a wall and sniff them Blush

MrsSchadenfreude · 14/05/2018 06:24

A member of my team at work used to wear Bleu. I had to resist the urge to lick him.

ScarlettDarling · 14/05/2018 06:27

Spice bomb is gorgeous!!

Definitely. I used to wear it when it was first out, and so was I. Was frequently pinned.

Sexy aftershave?!

The Bette Davis is self-referential, by the way.

Emily7708 · 14/05/2018 10:46

Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch - it’s the best aftershave DH has ever had. He gets so many comments.

MissReginaPhilange · 14/05/2018 10:48

Special edition man of today Hugo boss. Bout 90quid but soo lush

Emily7708 · 14/05/2018 10:54

@thefudgeling - Montblanc Legend Spirit smells like white musk. If you like white musk you’ll probably love Fierce by Abercrombie.

Ridiculouslyso · 14/05/2018 11:53

Hugo Boss Original. Phwoarsome.

BlueUggs · 14/05/2018 11:55

My exh used to wear activist by the body shop. It was bloody lovely only thing about him that was!

BlueUggs · 14/05/2018 11:56

I love the original polo and escape for men.

murphys · 14/05/2018 12:02

@PlausibleSuit, of course you have to tell that story now Grin

Well I must admit that I am a bit partial to Chanel Bleu, and good old Fahrenheit.

Well, right now any men's scent is appealing, it is my very big downfall. recently single, a good smelling man is going to get me in trouble one day I am sure

NotAnotherJaffaCake · 14/05/2018 12:21

The Penhaligons fougères are nice -Satorial. I’m not above pinching a bit if I have a big work meeting.
Yes to Eau Sauvage and the Tom Ford tobacco and leather scents.

TheTurnOfTheScrew · 14/05/2018 12:30

I think Diptyque are supposed to be unisex, but Tam Dao is nice and manly - more so than all the clean/citrussy stuff on lots of counters. I think it's predominantly sandalwood.

GinUser · 14/05/2018 13:29

I love Eau Sauvage, Old Spice (on the right person) and OH wears Issey Miyake.

Bluesheep8 · 14/05/2018 13:58

Davidoff hot water (I THINK it's called that)

Appuskidu · 14/05/2018 14:23

Is there only one men’s Issey Miyake?!
