I find sauvage a bit teenagery and creed is ok but really overpriced. I can’t decide if I love or hate Tom Ford , so for now I keep going back to Armani Stronger with you and Mont Blanc Explorer. |

I've never understood the attraction of either Invictus or Fahreheit. On me both smell horrendous in my opinion.
My favourite is Neroli Portafino followed by Acqua Di Parma but I refuse to pay ridiculous prices for any fragrance.
I use dupes from the Essence Vault which are amazing and long lasting at a fraction of the cost. |

Fair enough - I have lot's of nice compliments with both Invictus/Fahrenheit... If you got any as pressies this year send them my way  |

I have a few favourites, I like to try and avoid ones that are too famous cos I don't like to smell too much like other people if I can avoid it. So even though I like Eau d'Issey, for example, I don't wear it often any more. But I do often go for the limited edition variants (Eau Bleu d'Issey, Issey Intense).
At the moment I'm enjoying Extrême de Bulgari, Kenzo Jungle and oddly enough there's a few of the Primark 'copycat' fragrances that get good feedback when I wear them, the only downside with those is they don't last very long. |

That's quite deep thinking.... "
Like clothes I vary them for different places seasons etc.
Scents create some very long lasting memories. |

Can’t beat Chanel No 5 on a woman. I wear Le Male at the moment. Sat next a girl in the cinema the other day and she was wearing white musk, took me back to my youth. It’s funny what emotions a perfume can envoke. |

Google perfume parlor, they use the proper formulation for perfumes and aftershave and use more oil than alcohol, so you can get any aftershave and it will smell stronger last longer and cost about £15, I got a family member a bottle of
Clive Christian x, that costs in the shop about £1200, they do small roll on tester bottle, that will last you for months for only £4 trust me, the best find ever |

I've said more times than I care to remember, Bleu Chanel never seems to let me down, and gets the comments every time. It was even noticed by an ex Chanel rep once in Gran Canaria, as she told her mum and sister, "That man's wearing Bleu Chanel, I'd recognise that fragrance anywhere." So if it's working, no need to mend it. |

It entirely depends on the man. I discovered this when I was hooked on the smell of a particular aftershave on my first boyfriend but when I bought it for a later boyfriend, it just wasn't the same. It's the same with perfume. I guess it's how it reacts with your personal skin chemistry or something.
One of my current partners wears sauvage for special occasions and it smells amazing on him. A guy I used to date actually wore a diesel perfume that wasn't a feminine one and it smelt amazing. He was a bit shy telling me when I asked what it was  . |

Oh so maybe how it mixed with their natural pheromones maybe? Hmmm interesting… |

That's why it's recommended you don't buy fragrance for other people because it's completely different for different people.
That's why I said before that Invictus and Fahrenheit are horrendous on me but others swear by them. |

I've had a few that have been my staples since I was 18 , simple because they are unrivalled in smell
Aqua Di Gio - Armani
Ultraviolet - Paco Robanne
Challenge - Lacoste
I've had others over the years including Invictus, Sauvage and none of them come close to my holy trinity of fragrances  |

I think so. I have friends who's perfume smells great but I don't like it on myself. I'm quite fussy with my own perfume. It smelling nice isn't enough,it needs to suit me too. |

Most days a good shower with Wright's Coal Tar Soap, is all I need to smell fresh and masculine. Outdoors a lot, so most colognes are wasted.
For a more intimate encounter Molton Brown Tobacco Absolute. |

Lots and preference changes from time to time and of course it depends on time and occasion as well as wether they suit an individual. Here are a few ones that I like and use/used:
Prada Amber, Tom Ford, Aqua di Parma, Santos de Cartier, Abercombie and fitch Instinct, Creed Aventus, Christian Dior Ambre Noir etc .... |

Dior Savage Eau de Parfum is the most manly gorgeous smell ever. I doubt teenagers could afford it. It's my favourite on a guy. |

I see what you mean, for example if it’s like a citrusy smell and your more of a say spicy person…. There are many levels to this. deep…. |

I've got Invictus Legend and Boss something (Don't know what it's called but it's in a black bottle.) I've heard the new Paco Robane one that looks like a robot is nice too.
Just go to a shop, try a load and pick one you like. |

Sauvage always makes me stop in my tracks, and I will usually tell the man they smell good.
I love creed, paco rabanne ultra violet , and viktor and rolph spicebomb too |

Has anyone heard or even better used this new one called The Internet? Apparently smells like 'the earth' and according to the description it evokes "an extractive web of raw minerals and sweat, spiking dopamine and desperate self-monetization from the vantage of a polyurethane chair." The mind boggles. |

It's for this exact reason I am still yet to find a perfume I really like for myself, my current ones are Nina Ricci Luna les gourmadies and Belle but I'm going off of those.
For men I love the smell of Dior Sauvage, which is what C uses but I have a particular soft spot for Paco Rabanne One Million if the skin is dark. With One Million the darker the skin the better it smells |

"Creed silver mountain water,
Creed green Irish t,
Tom ford Tuscan leather,
Prada graphite,"
I have all the creeds, they ok but not my faves and so expensive. Personal opinion on G Irish T ? I wore it on a date recently and was told it smells like gay men’s aftershave , it didn’t put me off it at all, but I can see what she means.
I really can’t make my mind up about any of the Tom Ford, they’re also fairly expensive. I think on a date could be dangerous / off putting
I’m gonna try Prada graphite because you like Creed and Tom Ford.
What do you think of Armani - Stronger / intensely ?
Will be checking out molten brown ones too , I have a load of samples , they are good

I posted all my favourites before but someone recently bought me the Givenchy pi ( can't do the pi symbol as on bottle). I really thought will not like but do. Quite different to my usual. Has anybody else used it? |

"Think notino is one I used to k ow a few more discounters online if I remember I'll post.
Notino is good & legitimate.
Thanks fellas.
Anyone bought from Escentual before?
Anyone?"
I go to those perfume shop stores, there are two usually close together and they have to beat each other & the best online price you show them on your phone. Or the airport but they can be a rip off. For creeds, John Lewis was cheaper than anywhere |

I'm a huge Sauvage fan. I love the EDT version's ultra clean, synthetic vibe. I wear it almost every day and find it just fits my overall look really well. The EDP is great too - it moves away from the synthetic smell of the original and has more of a vanilla fruity smell which is great for dates (and Fab meets  ).
I also love Sauvage Elixir, but it's probably not to everyone's tastes and it's definitely not a daily fragrance. It's got this super dense feeling to it, although it still manages to be pretty fresh somehow. This is one I keep for special occasions.
I've tried a lot of other brands but I keep coming back to Dior. Their fragrances have great longevity, and although they're expensive I think they're worth paying extra for. |

Thanks for the tip! I was lucky enough to get to a big Dior counter in Glasgow recently and tried a few from the Private Collection. Vanilla Diorama and Santal Noir really stood out to me, but I'm not ready to spend that much just yet |
