Get off your bum and have a sniff. Smells are a personal thing :o} Everyone here will have their own opinion, probably completely different to yours. Personally I think Givenchy Gentleman is nice.

>> rotting flesh and pee stains. What a delightful selection of mature males you must have known Zeddo. I am quite green with envy. No, when I haven't had a bath and am a bit sweaty I smell of Heinz vegetable soup. Can't understand why because I never eat it. It's a mystery. Reply to this message | Report message

When I worked at a printers there was a guy who smelt of tomato soup when sweaty. The same guy who was complaining about a strange niff in the place all day then realised at the end of the day that the milk he'd drunk in the morning had gone rancid in his moustache. Nice.

Shake 'n vac or Toilet Duck....don't mind which. I bet that Pat's all excired now ! Seriously, I've got some English Fern by Penhaligans and a selection of odds and ends. Rarely use it though...just a spray deodorant does usually. I'm kissable enough without it...anyone want to try ? Ted Reply to this message | Report message

I have used YSL Pour Homme for about 30 years and I get it over 50% off from an on line firm called Extra Scents (Google for them). They stock hundreds of items for men and women and I have used them for years with total reliability. Reply to this message | Report message

Good taste PP, I used to have that one in the Concentree (black bottle) version about 20 years ago. For me it's original Paco Rabanne. Tried various others over the years but have always come back to this one and have used it solely for years now. Also worthy of mention IMO are CD Eau Sauvage, Armani pour homme and Chanel pour monsieur.

Eau Sauvage A name that amuses me - It means wild water but sauvage can also mean unsociable or a loner - probably not the effect the purchaser is seeking Reply to this message | Report message

"Me too. IIRC the other 'Enry used to promote it ?" If you're referring to 'Enery Cooper he used to promote 'Brut'. "Splash it on, all over." When Old Spice came out it was just about the only after shave available. Very heavy and early users (myself included) were often labelled as poofters, whatever they are.

Initially, Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm to sooth the irritation of wet shaving. It doesn't have an aroma worth talking about so later, if I want to smell nicer, I rinse my face and use either Davidoff Cool Water, Kouros, or Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. Reply to this message | Report message

I have not worn scent since I was a try hard teenager in the 1980s. I tried hard, but mostly failed. I now wear a large ginger beard and don't give a stuff what anyone thinks.

I work with Santa Claus, there's no way i'll ever grow a beard. Anyone participate in "Movember" ? - You know the grow a tache for November thing? I lasted about 3 days then got *told* i wasn't doing it any longer :-) Favourites off the aftershave shelf - Lacoste Red - for going out, it's about 3 years old now but i love this stuff Davidoff Echo - again one for going out, quite sweet again Lacoste Gray - (i swear i don't own anything else with a lacoste label...) suitable for work, very respectable Bunch of others i randomly flick between too, but i'd avoid Armani "City Glam" and the other armani that comes in the same bottle but is a dull grey colour.

I must try Alanovich's beard method for hiding good looks. I'm really getting tired of opening my bedroom curtains in the morning to find 3 or 4 young ladies gazing up at me. The scribbled notes through the letterbox begging me to father their children are becoming tedious ! Brut ! that should help drive them away as well !

Ralph Lauren Romance Silver Men chosen by the knowledgeable Mrs H. Was at Xmas lunch yesterday and pulled a cracker with a female colleague; we both grabbed our smoking ends of the cracker "bang" and inhaled deeply. Cordite; now someone's going to make their fortune with a scent that smells of pulled Christmas cracker. Reply to this message | Report message
