I'm not sure if it makes a huge difference to me, but I think it might.

If I have to choose ... always ends up being Chanel.

Bleu.

Or Alllure Homme Sport Extreme.

Something quite intense.

They all seem to like Tom Ford and that Creed ... so expensive ... and I still prefer the Chanel.

I suppose the most important thing is that he likes it. I suppose ........ 😉

The only one that has ever stood out to me in a WOW way is Creed. It's not even my DH who wears it, it's one of his friends, who whenever we see him, I always end up sniffing in a slightly weird way... Grin DH won't even entertain wearing it because his mate has claimed it...

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 15/03/2021 08:13

They are all lovely. I cant swoon over Creed though as my brother wears it haha.

I know its everywhere but love that One Million its so distinctive!

Dior- Sauvage
Lacoste- Red
John Paul Gaultier - L'homme

Think i remember liking all of them.

Just want to go and sniff a nice man now hahaha

FreshFaceTime · 15/03/2021 08:17

Of the ones my DH wears, Eternity Summer is probably the one that makes me sniff him the most - and he usually gets it in the sales when it's about £20 a bottle.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/03/2021 08:21

My dh doesn't wear it, but an old boyfriend wore Dunhill? which I loved. Don't even know if it's around anymore, I'm completely out of touch with men's aftershave now.

vdbfamily · 15/03/2021 08:24

I too absolutely loved Dunhill and had an old friend who wore it. My daughter asked for a bottle of Eau Sausage for her 18 the which is an aftershave and I l liked that too.

FrangipaniBlue · 15/03/2021 09:11

Viktor Rolf Spice Bomb.

They're all lush but my favourite by far is the Night Vision!

JaceLancs · 15/03/2021 11:09

Just bought adult DS Guerlain instant
He also likes bleu de Chanel, sauvage and dolce and gabbana the one
Paco rabanne invictus, gaultier le male and nuit d’issey are DPs choices

Parkerwhereareyou · 15/03/2021 14:35

Just want to go and sniff a nice man now hahaha*

Yes me too ☺️ Maybe that was my subliminal motivation for the post?!!

Am going to try some of those suggestions out!! Although don't know if we're allowed to spray on a nice assistant in Boots and small his neck, yet, are we?! 😀

Dior Savage!

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/03/2021 14:45

Ooh yes to going out and sniffing a nice man.
Wish my dh wore smelly stuff.

MissBattleaxe · 15/03/2021 15:33

I really love Hermes Terre D'Hermes- it's the last word in vetiver. Also le Jardin Retrouve Bois Tabac Virginia, which I wear myself ( and it doesn't smell like tobacco in the way you might dread!), also Obsession for men and Burberry Weekend for Men which is a wonderful nuzzly musk.

emsyj37 · 15/03/2021 15:41

Penhaligons Opus 1870.
Sauvage is nice too, but it won't ever eclipse Opus.

couldthisbeit · 15/03/2021 15:45

It's a bit old school now but I still cannot resist Fahrenheit by Dior. Nothing like it that's even come close for me.

justanotherneighinparadise · 15/03/2021 16:01

There’s a small bottle my DP had in a gift box alongside two other scents. He finished it years ago and I loved it so much I kept the bottle (even though I’ve never rebought it for him as my mum buys him two aftershaves a year and he is overrun). Anyhow I’m now going to go find it just for you 🤭

justanotherneighinparadise · 15/03/2021 16:04

Here it is

What, if any, is your favourite aftershave for men?
Vierty · 15/03/2021 16:20

Creed Sends me completely weak

My partner wears Sauvage which I do rather love too

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 15/03/2021 16:28

@Parkerwhereareyou
@Ihopeyourcakeisshit

And doesnt it make a difference when you actually smell it on a man? Compared to just spraying it on yourself (which occasionally i do with some of the nice ones when passing through John Lewis etc). Must mix with their pheromones or something.. oo er haha!

Parkerwhereareyou · 15/03/2021 16:30

Hah yes wavescrashing, it does!!

Smells different in different ones, too. Not that I've been conducting research from a wide pool of individuals ☺️ (sounds like a NICE job though!!!) 😀

Everyone saying Creed, which one? Seems to be strong stuff and I need to go on a sniff mission.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 15/03/2021 16:37

What is this Creed, can anyone describe it?

I like Dior Sauvage but l refuse to buy it because of Jonny Depp. Don't care that he hasn't been convicted, he disturbs me. And he looks like he needs a good shower.

gailsmissingchin · 15/03/2021 16:38

Late vote for anything by Aqua Di Parma (effing pricey but lasts forever)

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 15/03/2021 17:48

@LadyTiredWinterBottom2

The advert with him in is so unbelievably cringey too!! I agree i wouldnt buy it myself, but it does smell nice!

@Parkerwhereareyou

I think that's a fabulous idea for a job role for after lockdown. Chief aftershave assessor!!! Hahahahaha think pregnancy hormones got me a little loopy!

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 15/03/2021 17:50

Issey Miyake is lovely too, nice and fresh!

Oh and ive just remembered my first ever boyfriend - Cerruti - 1881

HeraInTheHereAndNow · 15/03/2021 20:48

Dior Sauvage
Chanel Allure Sport Cologne

YoyoRiot · 15/03/2021 20:51

Definitely not Tom Ford Oud
