the sexiest aftershave?

My DP is the rough and ready type - he's fortunate enough to be attractive without grooming of any description really and his job (bathroom fitter) doesn't call for it either - BUT I want to get him some aftershave as a stocking filler. I think once he has some, he'll start wearing it and sometimes aftershave can be very, very sexy.

My ex used to wear Jean Paul Gaultier, which I love, but it might be strange to impose this scent on my DP. So I need your suggestions for gorgeous, sexy fragrances. He's in his early twenties so nothing too 'mature'.

Thank you!

I like Calvin Klein esp Eternity for Men

This one makes me go weak in the knees

Probably connected to the fact that my 'one that got away' used to wear it but still it's sexy, manly and just yummmmmmmmmmmmmm .

I buy Dolce and Gabana for DP, don't think it's got 'name'.

I love the spicey smell of Farenheit (but he doesn't)

tethersend · 02/12/2009 14:02

Nothing can beat Jean Paul Gaultier IMO

Although Joop reminds me of it somehow... also there is a nice one by Guerlain, but cannot remember the name. Sigh.

SparklyAlice · 02/12/2009 14:07

Armani Black Code mmmmmmmm....

RenderedSpeechless · 02/12/2009 14:09

agreed JPG second to none. i also like amen, bmen, cacharel, and for a more 'underground' hue, tiffany for men.

Pineapplechunks · 02/12/2009 14:11

I love Fahrenheit. Joop is lovely too.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 02/12/2009 14:12

I love Jop Jump. It's a really fresh smell. Can't stand anything heavy on men or women.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport is really sexy

teameric · 02/12/2009 17:41

Farenheit has always done something to me but DH dosn't like it. He is using One Million at the moment and I can't stop sniffing him, it is seriously delicious

tulpe · 02/12/2009 19:03

M7 by Yves Saint Laurent. Spicy and woody. Sex in a bottle

A friend of mine highly recommended Armani Black Code to me last night - said it made her kiss a guy she normally doesn't think much of!

Joop here too!

Dh used to wear it when we first dated, and everytime he puts it on now (not frequent!!!!) it makes me swoon (love that word!)

So I suppose it's the feelings the smell brings up, not the smell IYKWIM??

alypaly · 03/12/2009 11:07

MamaLazarou · 03/12/2009 11:58
