Thread: For what it's worth . . .

Gentlemen,

I don't fancy current designer aftershaves and colognes. And I dislike bay rum. My taste leans more toward some of the traditional fragrances. For what it's worth, here are my five preferred aftershaves and colognes.

Spanish Leather by Truefitt & Hill
Spanish Leather by Geo F Trumper
Woods of Wiindsor
Annick Goutal
Alvarez Gomez

Noting fancy. And yours?

Unlike you, Bay Rum is my favorite aftershave. But my next go to is DR Harris Marlborough and C&S Cuba

Floris "JF" splash and Floris Santal Balm

Its hard for me to pick a top five. I am kind of a soap an cream w#@re. Love trying different ones an sampler packs have only added to this issue. lol. For the time being heres my top five pick.

1. DRH Windsor (favorite always in rotation)
2. TOBS Jermyn st
3. Truefitt Hill 1805
4. DRH Arlington
5. TOBS Eton College

This list is always changing week to week. Several other scents get rotated in.

Thanks Obie, my top five include some very old and traditional to the very nice
Paul Sabastian Design
Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Old Spice (old formula)
Spanish Leather Treuffit and Hill
Clubman original

The dearly beloved's reaction
"What on earth are you wearing?"
"Bay rum aftershave."
She made a sour face and shuffled off.

My older daughter's reaction
"What is that disgusting smell?
"I'm afraid it's my bay rum aftershave, sweetie."
She made a big sour face and shuffled off.

My younger daughter's reaction
"Yikes, dad, what is that disgusting smell?"
"Bay rum aftershave, sweetie."
"Stinks like butt."
She made a face as if vomiting and shuffled off.

I tried to wash the bloody bay rum off my Hollywood face and had to smell it for two days.

A nice list of classic scents there, Obie!

I'm pretty much all over the place myself really.
New, old, fancy or common.
It's all the same to me, as long as it smells nice

Right, my list then:

Creed Sublime Vanille.
Amouage Epic Man
Boellis Panama Millesime
Guerlain Habit Rouge
Bond #9, Wall street.

I think....

My favorite colognes are centered on Creed and Penhaligon's for the most part, with one exception.

They are:

J. Peterman "1903" Vintage Cologne
Creed "Green Irish Tweed"
Creed "Tabarome"
Penhaligon's "Blenheim Bouquet"
Penhaligon's "Opus 1870"
