Thread: 'younger' smell

trekker, very good strategy. I used to do the same thing back in the olde days.

try the Nancy Boy line of shave creams, etc. I really like the signature shave cream. nice smell, not overwhelming, doesn't smell like perfume, nor does it make you pants ride just below your nipples.

Hopefully it doesn't make your pants ride just below your bum
Seriously, try different scents from different places, Trumpers, Truefitt and Hill (get samples where you can, that way you aren't out a ton of money on soap/cream you don't like). Personally, I like TGQ Cavendish Black, or Ogallala Bay Rum, but those could be considered old men scents.

Just go for anything with Citrus notes. Very modern.

I'd second the Nancy Boy signature scent. Maybe not a "young" smell, as I don't know exactly what that is, but definitely not old (I DO know what that is).

Have you tried Proraso?

Something about the name "Nancy Boy" makes this old geezer cringe. ........from Dictionar.Com:

IMHO, whether aftershaves and perfumes work scent-wise depends a lot on the person wearing it. Something that smells attractive when person A wears it, might smell awful on person B. I thinks it has a lot to do with skin and body chemistry.

That said, I personally use Plisson shaving soap, which smells mild and fresh. Shaving soap PLISSON (Refill) 10.20 Euros - Plisson for Shaving

For aftershave I use "212 for men" from Carolina Herrera. They have a balm that 's great for my skin, and the smell is very contemporary. They also have regular alcohol based A/S with the same scent.

Great thread, had a few good laughs,

best regards,

My wife considers clubman to be kinda hot. don't think she is old is 33 old? 33 was old when I was yonger but it dosn't seem old now. I think some of the old scents are good if worn lightly. I have had women ask what I was wearing (in a positive way) I made up something when it was cheep old clubman. I do on ocassion wear old spice and adidas. Truefitt&Hill has some great stuff that will set you apart from the crowd and not smell like an old barbershop.

33 isn't old. I'm staring down the barrel of 45 in a few months.
