Are there "age appropriate" scents?
Not sure how to ask this question, but here goes.
I'm 50. Of course, I have shaved for a long time. But the most I ever used before this place was a splash of aftershave every now and then. No balms, oils, Edt, cologne, body spray, etc., etc. Completely new to this.
So I ask, are there certain scents/brands that are unspoken "no no's" for a gentleman in his 50s, or does anything go, as long as I like it?

There isnt any rules regarding scents. Just as long as you and your lady like it, thats all that matters. And in some circumstances only if you alone like it. Har!!! So splash away!!!

No, it's up to you. However, a lot of people comment on the 'old' scents like Old Spice and Pinaud Clubman to say they smell like 'an old man scent', basically because they remember their father or grandfather using it. So, I guess if you want to smell your age, get some Old Spice or Clubman

.....you didn't just go there,,,
But since you did,,,,Avon would be a great choice, because that is the aftershave/cologne that most of us guys in our 50's started with.
Also, it can still be found cheap, gets lots of looks from the ladies (they remember it from high school days
)
& it comes in all kinds of neat containers,,,,

True. Old Spice was the only thing I used for about 30 years. Still like it.
