Whats wrong with a unicorn? It would make a perfect knight for the chess set, which i might secretly be slightly jealous of

Sory for the minor diversion, in answer to your question, no i dont think scents are or should be grouped by age demographic, you should wear what you like the smell of.

As others have said, there really are no rules regarding this.
However, I will wear a scent only if it ticks all three boxes in my selection regimen.

1. I like it
2. My wife likes it. Or at the very least isn't put off by it.
3. It doesn't associate negatively on me in regards to my surroundings.
After all, they are to smell it too, when in a crowded elevator, a small meeting-room or whatnot.

So, no Old Spice, 4711 or Brut for me, to name a few really stinky ones

Leave brut alone you

How about Nivea Splash, it's a light scent.

Find a bottle of Clubman. If you don't like that. just quit.





I've yet to get a negative response to it. I'm near your age and never used aftershaves before, beyond witch hazel USP. But all the new wet-shavers are nuts about aftershaves, so i started trying the cheap "old name" stuff. Have Barbasol green, Aqua Velva Blue, Skin Bracer, Old Spice, and Pinaud Clubman in the shave nook right now. Rarely touch anything but the Clubman. It smells more "barber shop" than "old man". Not that there's anything wrong with that!

What i like about after-shaves is that they're not colognes. You might choke folks out with the scent for about 10 minutes, but it fades rather quickly, whereas a funky cologne stinks for days with one application.

Hi, and welcome to SRP. As for scents if you, and your wife like it use it.
