Get yourself something by YSL. It's always going to be a 6 with hints of 3 and 7 on your chart. That stuff should always be your Sunday best (or Friday Night best depending on the circles you opperate in). The stuff neveer fails. Casual lunches call for an old stereotype/classic like Hugo Boss or CK1 (I know they're a bit too common for a discerning taste, but there is a eason why they've been around so long). Avoid Old Spice at all costs and it never hurts to have a vial of Davidof on your person for emergencies. Poncy, yes. But it works. :;):

I don't have my own style.

I like the Williams deodorant, but as for cologne, I only use them when the gf or mum gives me one in my birthday. So around November and December and January I use them, otherwise only deodorant.

If they do I usually say "No , but while you're down there do you fancy the cheese ? "    :D


Seriously , don't know how you can confuse the odour of Roger & Gallet, L'Homme with urine . Unless of course you bought yours of a market stall .

:D

Ahh, the ol' botch, where would we be without it? :D

I normally buy my own deodorant, usually Lynx of some description, while the missus buys me the after shave. I have a few bottles, most Hugo Boss and this other stuff we got on holidays that I cannot remember the name of.

I bet Smeg and Judge wear Spanish Fly. :;):

the first after shave i remember having was YsL - Kouros. and i can still remember the smell of it to this day. some pongs haunt you forever! 'Farenheit, Polo green and the abhorrant 'Joop' fall under the same distinctly individual category too: they all reak  :D

one more i like is Gucci original.  :cool:

The only aftershave/perfume I cant stand are the strong Musk ones. They just smell like unwashed or dirty people to me. Im not sure if its still popular but early 70's Leigh Casino used to stink of it!

I use Clinique Happy.  It's the only aftershave I've got.  Not a big wearer to be honest, but I always get those bog attendants in bars to throw a bit on when I'm out like.

I do like Escape by in Calvin Klein, wore that as a youngster when I used to go the Paradox.  The old Ralph Lauren in the green bottle was amazing.  red37 clearly doesn't think so though.  They discontinued it though.  Only do the blue bottled one now.  Not the same fragrance and not as nice.

Got to say I am a fan of Hugo Boss, myself. Distinctive masculine smell, albeit quite common. Better that than smelling like a bint, though.

Also got Paco Rabanne "Black XS", which I believe is quite new. First sampled it in the airport about a 3 weeks ago, and seeing as the woman went mad over it, I thought I'd better buy myself some. :D

Georgio Armarni's Acqua de Gio is supposedly the best when pulling.  (So I read. )About as cheap as f*cking diamonds, though. £45 per b*stard bottle! :O

tbf i did used to have a bottle in the 90's, but it became as stereotypical as the whole 'Joop' thing.....(ok for 16 year olds behind the bike sheds) or in the case of POLO...excellent for wearing on Public transport when every 'gypo' in the North-west seems to be using it the same day as you....

:D
