Thread: 'younger' smell

Hey Doc, those kids just dont understand all of the mechanics that got them here to begin with. With them it must be luck!

As Old Spice Original says, if your grandfather hadn't of used it, you never would have been born. :P

Orange Patchouli is a fresher, more youthful scent from TGQ. When it comes to modern shaving soaps/creams, you basically have 2 choices:
1) Old
2) Detergent

I have to agree some deodorant smell like old and when I detected the smell of Axe on my 50 years old father, it was just way too weird. Something was just wrong there for me.

But on the other side, I have to admit I really like the smell of Bay rum. I'm not a master with the ladies, but I would guess smell isn't everything


But if you are worried, try some cream "for sensitive skin", I tried Taylor's shaving cream and it smells practically nothing (and the lathering properties of that thing is amazing).

Or we could ask Colleen to make a Axe shaving cream. I once saw on TV that a mix of licorice and cucumber was the closest thing to human pheromones.

oh man, i guess i should have known i would get a response like this. now im just going to be known as that trying-to-be-trendy young whipper snapper haha . well i guess i'll look into that orange patchuli cream. I really like the smell of the oak and moss soap from TGQ actaully. It is a subtler smell than the others. maybe thats what i am looking for...

Gents, there are a lot of us chicks who *hate* the "old man" scents, so I'm glad to know there are a few guys like themachine313 who want to get away from that. Old Spice in particular makes me want to hurl... not only do I not want to smell that, I don't want to smell my grandfathers or father, either (one grandfather and my father never bathe, and the other grandfather has no discernable scent that I associate with him).

So do you have any soap/cream advices for us young men?

If you want a gal who hates "traditional" men's soap scents to spend a lot of time up close and personal, I strongly suggest using a soap that smells edible. Mama Bear's chocolate mousse, creme brulee, gingerbread, and anything fruity (lime, polynesian red, etc.) are a good start.

Hm, actually... my fiance loves the smell of my Old Spice Classic.

Ask your girlfriend what scents she likes. Then use them. If you haven't got a girlfriend you must have a girl who would love to go shopping with you. Let her drag you through one or two shoe stores. Do not give her your honest opinion on anything she tries on. Listen to her comments about the shoes and agree with her assesment of the fit and the design. Once you have her in a position where she "owes you one" take her to the scent counter and there pay close attention to the scents she chooses for you. Since you have helped her with her shoes, she will be more than willing to help you find the right sent for you.
