What, if any, is your favourite aftershave for men?

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 ........ 😉

@Wavescrashing

  • @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!*

Yes am literally checking out official sniffer jobs with Chanel etc now on LinkedIn 😉

Dior Fahrenheit here too. The only men's aftershave I can recognise. Sexy AF.

cookinahurry · 15/03/2021 22:28

Penhaligons' Endymion

Littleguggi · 15/03/2021 22:31

Another vote for sauvage

MrsTweedy21 · 15/03/2021 22:35

Kouros by YSL - still occasionally buy hubby a bottle as it reminds me of when we met! Blush

Sugarcube84 · 15/03/2021 22:40

Creed Aventus or Tom Ford grey vertiver, I bought the Chanel bleu for Xmas but it just doesn’t get me in the ooh you smell nice kind of way

RaphaTwat · 15/03/2021 22:42

Bleu de Chanel is my ultimate fave but I do like Creed too.

EllaPaella · 15/03/2021 22:48

Eternity for Men and Dior Sauvage

Squeejit · 15/03/2021 22:50

XH wore Chanel Bleu. It made me weak at the knees. Even if gouge hw’s my ex, I swoon thinking about it. Lovely ❤️

DingoWings · 15/03/2021 22:51

@Ihopeyourcakeisshit

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.
I'd forgotten Dunhill. Was your old boyfriend my old boyfriend too? Oh god he was gorgeous - and smelt gorgeous! Swoon.

Also Fahrenheit which I've loved on men since I was at school. You don't smell it often any more.

altforvarmt · 15/03/2021 22:52

@OtherPlans

Everyone saying Creed, which one? Seems to be strong stuff and I need to go on a sniff mission.
Creed have over 40 scents for sale right now, so clarity would be handy.

My guess though is that they're likely to be referring to either Aventus or Green Irish Tweed.

Sugarskulllover · 15/03/2021 22:52

Diesel fuel for life. I don't know what it is but it smells so good! I love when DH wears it, I can't stop sniffing him!

LizzieMacQueen · 15/03/2021 22:56

Mentioned upthread too,
Hermes Terre D'Hermes.

VienneseWhirligig · 15/03/2021 23:02

Agree with Chanel Allure Homme Sport - DH used to turn me weak at the knees when he wore that. I often spray it on my wrist or scarf when I'm missing him.

DS wears Polo Red, which I also love.

RolloTomassi · 15/03/2021 23:19

Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy Men 🤤🤤

Extrapepperoni · 15/03/2021 23:26

Super £££ but my next buy for DH will be Penhaligons Halfeti. Smells divine!!

DH has Terre d'Hermes and Chanel Sycamore which are both lovely too.

There's a Tom Ford that's beautiful too, can't remember what it's called though, black bottle. I have a similar one from them as well Noir / Black Orchid I think?

I also love Fahrenheit. I bought some for my BF at uni as I smelt it on someone else and SWOON! My DH doesn't wear aftershave, sob, but I bought him a bottle of Fahrenheit years ago and I spray him when we go on a night out Grin. It smells amazing and also takes mr back to 1994 when my life was so lovely and easy...

BIoodyStupidJohnson · 16/03/2021 08:02

My favourites on DH are Givenchy Gentleman the original one, not the newer one which smells totally different Terre d'Hermes, Dior Homme, Hermes Rocabar, and Kouros.

Ooh and Creed Original Vetiver.

There's a really good-looking man in our building who always smells incredible when I get in the lift with him. I asked him once what fragrance he wears and he said, 'Chanel No.19.' Respect to him, he absolutely rocks it.

Yep, me too. Its very distinctive.
ZombiePara · 16/03/2021 12:55

ExDP likes to have a selection of smellies (he has so many more than me!) and I take took great enjoyment out of picking them for his birthday/Christmas because I knew they'd make him smell lovely!

Off the top of my head...

Paco rabanne million
Joop Go!
Mont blanc - black bottle
Ferrari scuderia
Versace the dreamer
Body shop arber
Jean paul gautier le male
Hugo boss bottled

Not all expensive, and some good deals available out there at certain times of the year!

Used to enjoy a good sniff test, and guessing which he was wearing!

What, if any, is your favourite aftershave for men?
LadyCatStark · 16/03/2021 13:09

Sauvage too.

Blondiechips · 16/03/2021 13:30

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès. The first time I ever smelt it was on a guy in front of me in the supermarket queue - he smelt so amazing I had to tap him on the shoulder and ask what scent he was wearing ☺

Oldraver · 16/03/2021 13:46

A Ted Baker one in a triangle bottle. Its about £20 if you can find it

Mydarkside · 16/03/2021 14:06

The £15 red Ferrari makes me want to jump his bones
