Thread: The Constants

Another aftershave that I am really growing fond of is Fine Platinum.
It's on the lighter side and not overpowering which I like.
It is based on the scent of Creed Aventus only not $350.00 a bottle.

I still enjoy these scents, but find them a little overpowering while at work, and tend to reserve them for weekends. I now either use a scentless aftershave so that I can use an EdT of my choice, or an aftershave that matches a classic scented soap or cream, such as Penhalligon's, D.R. Harris, or Truefitt & Hill.

I always liked Pinaud's Lilac Water. My wife and two daughters, however, made me pour out the last of my bottle of it. They said it smelled like public urinals. OY!

Yep
Bon said Floid Black had definite essence of Body Odor.
Vic won it in an auction. Upon arrival an Colorado, it was banned again.

Sounds like "The Veg" (Lilac Vegetal) I tried a sample bottle of that a few years ago; I think whoever said it smells like a cross between cat piss and a urinal cake had it pretty close-definitely a YMMV product. Some guys love it, though.

About all I use is a Bay Rum of some sort.

One of my favorite special occasion scents is Lagerfeld , I still have a small bottle of vintage edt, and a bottle of the “classic “. The original is better and has more staying power. And Proraso AS will never leave the den!

Yeah, I've got a bottle of the classic Proraso AS that I will probably replace too.

Thinking about it more I couldn't do without these 3.




Also Brut was the first cologne both my young uns smelled when I cuddled them at birth.

Going back to when I started, I have always had Old Spice an AV Ice Blue in the shave den. More recently AV Sort Original and Tabac have joined them.

Original Old Spice (I don't know how long I've had this bottle), English Leather, and Clubman for Fridays. Also British Sterling for a cologne.
