It depends on what mood i'm in, and what comes to hand first.

Either, Paco Rabanne One Million, CKOne. Calvin Klein Eternity or a Lacoste one.

Special Occasions, Boss the Scent.

We actually sell one at work however and that's pretty nice too, in fact the one thing I'd say it has massively in it's favour is when it came out, every single one of the girls at work bought it for their partners.



Noir by Germaine de Capuccini. I like it I must say, plus they only make it in eau de perfum so it at least lasts all day
What does it smell like? I was going to buy a bottle as it's cheaper than the Creed Aventus that I currently wear, and I'm a bit bored of that anyway.
info here:

the manufacturer does samples for £1.50, I would offer to send one but I'm out of stock of the samples at present. If you're after a bottle I think I have a couple of gift sets left over from xmas where you get a free skincare product

Trying to find a way to distil the great smell of burnt Castrol R and bottle it!

Creed Aventus....

Do that many of you really spend north of £200 on a bottle of aftershave?!

I have (as it seems so does everyone else) Creed Aventus & Tom Ford (my own made scent). I only really use these at weekends when i have stuff on and don't use them really through the week for work etc.
For work i just buy Zara fragrances, they are pretty much copies of high end fragrances but cost about £10 a bottle and great to just throw on and not worry about how much your putting on!

Aramis Classic
Plenty of it n all.

I work with Nurses.
Aramis and Fahrenheit are the top choices for me. Others come and go but these remain as the best of the best.

Maybe some do, but I prefer to buy 2ml samples to see if I like the scent and larger samples if I do.

For example, you could spend £200 on a Creed bottle and not like it or £3 in a 2ml sample or £22 on a 10ml sample.

OK you don't get a pretty bottle but you do get the option to try many different scents that would cost thousands if you were to buy full bottles each time.

I find it amazing that Creed, which is supposed to be a niche fragrance is so widely known considering a 120ml bottle of Creed Aventus costs £230. I must admit it does smell amazing although I don't own a bottle myself. Last time I used some I was shopping for a suit and the assistant said to me "You smell very nice, Creed Aventus" not sure if it works so well on women though.......

Probably cause every man and their dog got a free sample of creed when they gave them out last time.
Bugger must have been sleeping when they were giving out women

Blimus! (/sidjames). I had forgotten Tabac! I was as smooth as smooth could be back in the day wearing that! Probably.

I believe Hi Karate is still available in Sheffield or some other ghastly upnorthshire place.

This season I have mostly been wearing Johnny Depp's sausage but have now moved on to Chanel Allure. More appealing to the milfs than the pretty young things I understand.

Tom Ford or Comme des Garcons 2 for evenings.

Day to day it's whatever I still have left from working at P&G. Currently The art of shaving lemon and Mont blanc skywalker, which I must confess to really liking.
