Aftershave/men's cologne
Discussion
Poundland pour homme!
I swim every morning before work, so like to have something to spray over me after showering, to make sure there's no hidden smell of chlorine. Real aftershave would cost too much so I've taken to buying some Umbro cack from Poundland. The laugh is, a few women at work have commented on how nice I smell. They still think I'm ugly, but nice smelling ugly.
So there you have it. Poundland, for the man who doesn't have to try too hard, because he hasn't got a dog's chance anyway.

Why is this stuff ridiculously priced? I love ghe one in the green bottle but at £170 notes????
It contains a higher percentage of (quality) fragrance oils compared with cheaper stuff which in turn usually lasts much longer and you use less of it - so you invest initially but in the long run it's probably 4 bottles-worth of normal aftershave.

Sometimes the smell is only part of it, I still enjoy the simply things like the cap for my Chanel Bleu always aligning itself properly using a magnet - probably not worth paying more for but it's still a nice touch.

One that I like that nobody else seems to - Givenchy Pi - when I first started wearing it I struggled to find it and it was quite expensive, now it's about £15 a bottle in Boots. Smells like marzipan, my wife hates it.

We just recently had a stay in London and he bought the 75ml (£152) from Harrods, and should last about 4 years, so works out pretty reasonable.

I can't believe so many sane, rational petrolheads admit to using this overpriced poofter juice....
Underarm anti-perspirant is essential; anything else is for poofs.
It's nice to smell nice. Women love a nice smelling dude, it's nice to get comments aboot ya smell an awl. Try it sometime. :-)Underarm anti-perspirant is essential; anything else is for poofs.

Tom Ford Black Orchid is my current favourite. Expensive but a tiny squirt lasts for days. Even in London, so hard to get hold of. I think Harrodsburg do an exclusive thing that you may actually mix your own Tom Ford to suit.
Loads of it on eBay, highly rated sellers as well.TVR1 said:

I knew there was 'something' about you... However I couldn't define exactly 'what'... Now I know...
