Thread: Perfumes, what do you like?

As straight shaving gentlemen we are all into great smelling colognes.
I am also a very big fan of nice fragrances.

I'll start with my current line up.

Armani-Aqua di Gio
Chanel-Bleu de Chanel
John Varvatos -Artisan Aqua
Gerlain Vetiver
Isseay Miyake-L'Eau d'Issey pur homme
Paco Rabanne-Invictus

Getting into Thierry Mugler A*Men, currently testing Pure Malt, and Pure Havane.

This is getting addictive

So which ones do you guys like?

Chanel-Bleu de Chanel was a gift from my son on Christmas a few years ago,,, wore it to the high schoolto pick him up one day & 3 or 4 teen girls were all compliments to me.

I only have colognes & aftershaves,,,, but I did get some samples from Santa maria Novella from a friend,,
My colognes are:

Arlington
TOBS Eton College
C.O. Bigelow
Unscripted by Patrick Dempsey

Previously, my signature fragrance was Pi by Givenchy, but it turned bad a few months ago.
Now it's Burberry Brit for Men and I can't stop smelling myself.

Cheers.

On occasion, I will use the Chanel Bleu -- it works well when my wife is wearing her #5.
Normally, though, I just use various aftershaves.

I'm too cheap to buy anything 'good'. Any kind of Bay Rum, preferably under $7.00 a jug, but I will go higher for some of 'em.

I've recently discovered oud based perfumes...not artificial oud, but pay through the nose legit oud.

Ensar Oud - Thai Tabac

Agar Aura - Agar Attar

Both of these turn heads at work...in a very good way.

The closest I have to perfumes are EdTs. They are:

2 Different Pecksniff's
L'Occitane Vetyver
L'occitane Cade
Grey Flannel
Dunhill for Men
Drakkar Noir

Bob,
I tried the Vetiver by L'ocitane and did not like it much, the vetiver in it was not very pronounced for me. How do you like it?
Guerlain Vetiver is a lot more pronounced for me.

It's OK for me but you are right it is not very pronounced.

My top 3. I have plenty of others I like but these 3 reign supreme. I made sure I have plenty of stock to last me until they bury me 20 feet under.

Vintage Habit Rouge Guerlain
Vintage Vetiver Guerlain
Vintage Vetiver de Carven
