    Default 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.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.

    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
