I'm more an after shave guy. Musgo Real and Proraso after shave splash are favorites with Dominica Bay Rum always avaliable for Fridays.
My wife settled on Channel #5 long ago. Makes it easy.

Wash with lots of soap and water and apply heat and light? I guess after you wash with a lot of soap and water you're suppose to dry with a halogen light that's been on for a long time and uses more than 100W? Actually I would think you'd wash with an oil-based soap to dissolve the fragrance oils.Quote:

Lilith everyone has different tastes, don't worry. I had an ex like it years ago who didn't like me wearing anything.;)
I'm giving Mama Bears Pearberry and Tahitian Vanilla a try, both seem to be mainly fruity with hints of florals.
Hi Dr Kees.:D I guess in an environment where you come across large groups of people constantly parading a whaft of different scents it would be quite nauseating. I think Berticus' idea of an oil-based soap is a viable idea.
Berticus I like woody, musky, fruity and floral. I was also seriously tempted by Mama's Turkish Mocha too, ummmmmm coffee...............
OK guys: what's the difference between: eau de cologne, eau de toilette, eau de parfum and perfume? Oh, and don't tell me the first 3 are French names for bottles of scent. As I don't like scents very much I always like to think eau de toilette is French for toilet water.

When I use anything which is very seldom, I use Obsession which my wife loves. Once in a great while she wears some type of musk scent. Since neither of us wear it very often it tends to lead us to distraction :D
BTW Kees, I know this will sound crazy but try peanut butter. I use to use it to get gas smell off my hands and get rid of the taste of gas many years ago. Something about siphon hoses I seem to remember:w
sounds nuts but it worked for me.:shrug: Rub the PB in and then wash with soap and water
Bob
Doesn't sound nuts at all. PB&J contains peanut oil. Remember like dissolves like, so anything with oil will dissolve oils.Quote:
