Aftershave/perfum
 
Inspired by the 'Branded' thread, what's your favourite/least favourite aftershave (and for kink and co ;)) or perfum?

I'll usually wear anything by Hugo Boss, normally I use 'Hugo number 1' (originally released in 1985 but still popular today :)) but these days it's 'Motion'.

Least favourite....would be any cheap stuff that your dad would have worn in the 80s such as Brut, Insignia, Old Spice etc etc....

Chris 14-08-2003 08:16

I never use any!

Nemesis 14-08-2003 08:17

Deoderant - yes, Aftershave - never

Russ 14-08-2003 08:19

*thinks this thread will die a slow painful death....

gazzae 14-08-2003 08:25

Caroline Herrera 212

ic14 14-08-2003 09:03

Aftershve- no, dont like the smell of them

Maggy 14-08-2003 09:14

Chloe Narcisse for day and Opium by YvesSaintLaurent for bed.

My doederant is unperfumed so as NOT to compete.


Incog.

Anything by Chanel for women
:)

Ramrod 14-08-2003 09:57

Deodorant- King of shaves or Pitrock (because they have no aluminium in them)
After shave- don't use it

kink 14-08-2003 18:19

hello Russ :wavey:

Well.. as already mentioned.... it has to be Tempore Donna by Laura Biagiotti or Casmir by Chopard

Aftershave? Sorry..... but it causes a rash so i use Neutrogena Body oil :naughty: ;)

carlingman 14-08-2003 18:20

Well Joop for aftershave and Jovan or Lynx for deodarant.

All available from Boots

:D

homealone 14-08-2003 18:31

Well I've just found a Hugo Boss Deodorant stick I'd forgotten I had.

lol at Russ re: the oldie ones - I did use Old Spice a long time ago - but Brut - never - (or Hai KaratÃÃâ€*’© :D).

I don't use aftershave now.:)

Boots :afire: :grind:
They were the only local place i could get Tempore Donna... but they stopped it :cry: and now i have to go to specialist shops.... the only main store that sells it is Selfridges :erm: So the price is hiked :(
Available online in some places though.... as is Camir..... so Boots has lost my custom.

Now if only i had more common tastes in perfume... :naughty: :p

kink 14-08-2003 18:37

But when you guys say Aftershave.. do you actually mean aftershave or the Eau De Toilette?
The aftershave is like battery acid in comparison and as a woman, having to smell it on a man... it hurts my nose :erm:

The aftershave is the cheaper option..... but is that why you'd use it, or do you actually prefer it? :)

I've not tried the Eau de Toilette type, but I agree most aftershaves are too over the top. If find using "proper" soap & a brush I don't get any irritation, or nasty little rashes :erm:

if I needed to, I would use one of the gel type, which don't smell so overpowering. :p

Stuart 14-08-2003 19:11

Deoderant: Right Guard

After shave: Usually none, but occasionally Jazz or Polo.

Mr_Burns 14-08-2003 19:12

Hai Karate or Brut 33 for aftershave ;)

Joop for aftershave and Lynx for deoderant, I like to smell nice:D :D :D :D :D

Dave Stones 15-08-2003 12:27

gillette for both. i dont believe in all these fancy aftershaves/EDTs etc. some smell positively awful...

i hardly ever use aftershave come to think of it.

least favourite stuff would have to be old spice or lynx. both get up my schnozzle and make me sneeze :mad:

Xaccers 15-08-2003 14:46

I can't smell so never seen the need to use deoderant or aftershave (I shower nearly everyday tho!)

Hate women wearing perfume too! It tastes awful

I can't smell but I'm a "super taster" so if I kissed some woman's neck and she wore perfume, I'd taste it

Tazfan 15-08-2003 14:57

Lynx for deoderant, and Polo is my number 1 choice for aftershave. I have got loads of aftershaves, but no cheapos. I get through more Polo than anything else though.

yesman 15-08-2003 16:27

Cerrutti 1881 Aftershave :smokin:
Ben Sherman Body Spray :smokin:

Visibleman 15-08-2003 17:42

Mmmm.... i'm with you on the Jean-Paul Gaultier on men or women :)

As long as it's not overdone.... but that's the same for any perfume or EDT.... don't like aftershaves :( But then i don't use them.. just have to smell them ;)

While i really believe that natural fresh body odour is the sexiest thing around.... sometimes the putrid Eau De Sweat Rancide needs to be masqued by Eau De Toilette :p :D

Cheap old CK1 and Farenheit for me, anything else smells like cats pish.

SMHarman 08-03-2004 10:43

Re: Aftershave/perfum
 
OOoh to keep the thread alive

Deoderant RightGuard - gel stick - remember to wind these down a bit before you fly or they ooze over the lid
After Shave - Clinique Happy or Ralph Lauren Romance
also not to be without Nivea Visage as an aftershave balm. Does wonders to sooth aftershave burn.
Shaving Cream - Body Shop shave cream - fantastic - outraged when they changed packaging, had packaging problems and were out of stock for 4 weeks. What is my facial hair supposed to stop growing while you sort out your packaging / supply chain?

Marge 08-03-2004 10:54

Re: Aftershave/perfum
 
Well, either J'Adore by Christian Dior or Tommy Girl but rather strangely when I spray the Tommy Girl it makes me choke and heave :sick: :shrug:

iadom 08-03-2004 17:06

Re: Aftershave/perfum
 
I have always liked using aftershave, even in the days when your only choice was Old Spice or Old Spice,

My loved ones buy most of my aftershave so I use several different ones.
At the moment I have,

Hugo Boss
Issey Miyake
Davidoff
Givenchy
Yardley Gold ( for work)

Quite like Paco Rabanne, Chanel, Calvi Klein...... Kouros to strong for me.

Bex 08-03-2004 17:52

I thought toilette (or faire sa toilette) related to the act of washing/grooming. So eau de toilette, is more like grooming water.

Paul K 08-03-2004 22:34

Re: Aftershave/perfum
 
Don't usually go for aftershave but CK One at the mo since it seems to be liked by she who must be obeyed :D
Scent on a woman? Dunno, nothing too strong though :( Don't mind the smell of sweat under the right conditions though ;)

Re: Aftershave/perfum
 
Ah there is a certain musky smell of men that is wonderful-however they then go overboard with the Lynx or brut and ruin it .

There are some mornings I go into the bathroom after my husband and I'm hanging out of the bathroom window because his deoderant is so overpowering.

Unperfumed deoderant please lads with aftershave .There is nothing worse than the war between deoderant and aftershave.:nono:

Incog. ;)

Live it how you want to live it. Just put your tounge back in, or anything else that may be hanging out. ;)
anyway, i have taken it off topic here, sorry.

Is it pheromones or something

Xaccers 09-03-2004 00:13

Re: Aftershave/perfum
 
As I can't smell I don't wear anything like aftershave, or deoderant. I don't wash with soap either, but women comment on how nice I smell.

Women should be banned from putting perfum on their necks and ears, it tastes bloody awful!

For me, i like Chanel Allure for really special nights, Any Gaultier for general nights out and Clinique Happy or any Next perfume for day wear :)

Re: Aftershave/perfum
 
I always tend to go for the spray bottles. Think they are the eau de toilette versions instead of the aftershave.
The aftershaves get used up way too quickly.
Plus my face is quite sensitive so I prefer to use a aloe vera balm on that.

An ex of mine used to wear that. Nice stuff :)

Mine are Armani, and Dunhill edition, but I rarely use the stuff these days. I kind of went off it when I realised that some people are actually allergic to perfumes (my father's girlfriend is one of them). She avoids busy shopping streets because of it. Seeing you don't normally motice your own perfume/after shave that much anyway, I sort of stopped using it.
