Favourite fragance

[MrWright]

I like almost all of the Cartier line and the Hermes line and I do have a thing for Le Male (an ex wore it - wasn't really into it before...now it's nostalgic).

Currently own a lot of Hermes especially: Rocabar (my normal scent), Jardin de Mediterrean, D'Orange Verte, and I also have Burberry Brit (I used to wear it and tired of it and I just don't feel like discarding it).

Oh and I do EDT virtually exclusively...

Though I do have an Hermes Eau de Terre aftershave...

I really only use store brand ones, Abercrombie Fierce, Aeropostale Maximum and A87.

However I really like Polo Black, and one by Burberry but I don't remember what it's called.

 

[MrWright]

Well good ones run around 75-100 a bottle but they last a REALLY long time so it's an investment.

The result is much better than the low quality pharmacy brands which have weak staying power, rather simple note structures, and are pretty common (idk it's prob just me but I like having a scent few people have so those who smell it remember me).

 

[Joshua_me]

Works for me...

When I was in highschool my two favorites where Polo and Drakkar, I often mixed the two together. I still wear Polo it's always been a favorite along with Obsession, Eternity, Cool Water, D&G, Jean Paul Gaultier.

I wouldn't know a good fragrance if it slapped my across the face......sorry

4711 for me -- one of the oldest of colognes around, made, originally manufactured in Cologne, Germany.

Random people compliment me on how good I smell. I also use a bay rum aftershave.

I used to like the Drakkar Noir so much some 20 years ago. I thought it was discontinued, but today I was offered one at the fragance counter, I was surprised.

Cool Water, I suppose it's the one by Davidoff, right? That's a great fresh scent

Cool Water is indeed by Davidoff, a nice refreshing scent for summertime. I did not know that Drakkar was still around, I've not worn it myself since I was 17.

 

[Luvoldermen]

aqua di gio...it's not too strong and it just smells really classy

 

[Joshua_me]

What does it smell like?

"Cypress and incense"

 

[cyclops35]

I found this about Eau de Bavx : . Mmm... seems like something I would definitely like, I like woodsy/spicy/smoky scents.



I also thought Drakkar was discontinued... i think the last time I used it was when I was 19 or so. But nope, apparently it's back, yep, just checked, still in production

. As I said, it was offered to me today, but i didn't buy it, I don't think I'd buy it, I remember it to be very strong (though delicious when I was in my late teens).

I'll keep an eye out for it, I can't even remember what it smelt like other then the fact I liked it. LOL

I found this about Eau de Bavx :

Big woods and spices. Cedar and cinnamon and a touch of not-too-sweet vanilla. Lightly smoky with incense. A great fragrance from top to bottom

Mmm... seems like something I would definitely like, I like woodsy/spicy/smoky scents.

"Cypress and incense"

Pretty much. It's really subtle, though. I can't stand strong scents.

I have just started to wear cologne again--

 

[justsimon]

The use of colognes is an art.

I agree. I'm around 20 year old boys all day long and most of them reek of cologne. They must bathe in the stuff.

 

[blackbeltninja]

I'll admit I have too many of them.

I currently have open/in use bottles of:

212 Men - Carolina Herrera
Chrome - Azzarro (the first one I bought; I replenish this as soon as it gets empty)
Acqua di Gio - Armani (a classic, fresh scent)
Boss in Motion - Hugo Boss
Baldessarini Del Mar - Boss
Bulgari Aqua - Bulgari
Hilfiger est. 1985 - Tommy Hilfiger
Kenzo pour homme - Kenzo
Fresh - Dunhill
Individuel - Mont Blanc
Reaction - Kenneth Cole
One by Gucci - not sure of the name
Crave - cK*
Echo - Davidoff*
Emporio Armani He/White - Armani*

*discontinued or seasonal fragrances

Others I've had:
Gucci Envy
Boss Dark Blue
Hugo Man
Cool Water
DKNY
Eau du Tsar
Kiton
Tommy
Emporio Armani He (original/grey bottle)

I'm keen to get some Dunhill London and some Dior Higher next. Hella expensive, though...

kenneth cole's black is nice.

 

[theworldwithout]

Works well for me.

 

[breion]

Versace pour homme. I use it once a week, and I get compliments from men and women both.

 

[teadrinker]

I'm going very slowly through some Joop! Go, which is a lovely perfume.
