I've always loved Black XS by Paco Rabanne. An ex wore it and as soon as I smell it...   |

Some of the ones I like and use are Prada Amber, Tom Ford, Aqua di Parma, Santos de Cartier, Abercombie and fitch Instinct, Creed Aventus, Christian Dior Ambre Noit. They all have a sort of amber and soft spice tone  |

My daughter says it’s a very young man’s night out aftershave like a pheromone ? All bang and no subtlety or mystery |

It smells so good! But like any purchase of this kind, go into a store and check it works with your body's chemicals.
I love Halfeti. Quite like Sartorial. It just depends on the person. |

My favourite ever was Creed Private Collection, Cuir de Russie, but they've stopped selling it.
Probably my favourite recently is Lalique, Encre Noir. A dark, earthy but clean vétiver that smells wonderful on my skin. |

Best thing is to just try them on yourself. Narrow them down to two and have them sprayed on each wrist, then go away for half an hour and see which one you like after. The dry down smells slightly different to the initial spray |

Take the advice and recommendations you've been given with a smidgen of salt, with due respect. Recommending a scent is not like recommending a Plumber. Only you can personally determine which scent you will like and what will be suitable.
If your friend "James" wears a particular cologne and you happen to like it, it may potentially smell different on you because of the differing characteristics of you pulse points, skin temperature variations, body heat, natural pheromones and perspiration. Therefore copy-cat recommendations don't always follow through.
Go to a store, try smelling some and applying two or three in different places (but no more in one visit). What you're smelling are just the Top Notes. You can only smell two or three in one go before your 'nose' gives up. So it means frequent visits to the store.
The Base Notes are the ones that come through once you get home after having tried a few in store. That's why it's not advisable to buy something there and then because the underlying scent will come through much later and you may dislike it. Also consider Longevity...some scents / colognes / aftershaves will require frequent application during the day. |

This is fantastic advice.
When I'm down in the beautiful city, can you indulge me in an olfactory shopping expedition? I'll buy you black forest caffeinated beverages aplenty.
Thank you ex-husband. |

What a most 'scentsible' idea. I look forward to walking the perfumed path with you. |
