Thread: What is your favorite scent with staying power?

Dont laugh too hard at this, my wife bought me a as/cologne set by Victoria Secret. It is the best scent according to both of us. Lasts all day aswell.

Thanks BS, currently I'm trying Captain's Choice. I like Scott's blend, but it doesn't last the way I like. I heard Dominica Bay Rum Lasts longer. Is that true?

And I dig them both

Thanks Tarkus, Clubman is in my rotation but SWMBO gets frustrated because the scent is gone by the time I get home.

OK EPD, this prompts a very uncomfortable question. Was the cologne "Very Sexy for Him" or "Very Sexy for Him 2"?

(Yup, that question made me even more uncomfortable than I thought)

Sorry but I use uncented shave soap and witchhazel as after shave.My wife is very oral in her loving and does not like unatural scents in her mouth or nose!

If you're into old-shcool scents both Alt Innsbruck and Knize Ten hang on to you forever, at least they do on me

Floid Suave and Mennen skin bracer are also stayers.

Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar aftershave. This lasts a long time and it's strong. Next would be Clubman...

I have found MPG's Route du Vetiver as a scent with great staying power with an element that states you are a man. It is a complex scent that punches vetiver in your face in the beginning, then changes as the day goes on into a mellow musk. LegalBeagle recommended it in a February post and I am happy that he made the recommendation.

BTW Happy Father's Day to all!!!

I always liked Fahrenheit by Christian Dior for this reason. Not only does it stay with me, but it seems to undergo subtle changes throughout the day.

Al's "Boheme", especially the aftershave balm....it lasts until your next shower!

Now if everyone that uses these scents sends me a sample, I'll post my evaluations.

Kidding!

Until last month, I used only one scent for nearly 2 years:
Intense Euphoria by Calvin Klein
They make a regular euphoria too, but its a lot weaker. The "Intense" has staying power. I can't still smell it at the end of the day, but she can.

and you can get a sample at your local macys/JC penny/whatever too!
