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.
I love my Tom Ford Black Orchid, although it's a marmite.
I keep all perfumes and aftershave in the box, I was told it stops it from going off!

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.
A man calling himself nick will cock calling people poofs? How queer. Underarm anti-perspirant is essential; anything else is for poofs.

Thierry Miugler A Men (winter only, very much a small amount as well. I like it. A lot don't.)

If you guys like Creed frags then you guys should join fragrance communities on Youtube and Facebook. Theres is a massive online community and lots of people split Creed frags. For example someone buys a 1000-500ml flacon on a certain Creed and will then take orders, from 10ml to 250ml with labels and good atomizers. The overall price works out much cheaper than retail.

Is this an old thread from the 1920s? 
+1 WTF? I happen to think it not so normal not to wear aftershave depending on where you're going. I don't know anyone who doesn't have at least 1 bottle.
What isn't to like about smelling nice? And as has been mentioned, women like a man to smell nice.
I rarely leave the house without having a squirt of aftershave, and having women mention to me that "I smell really nice" when working in close proximity to them is a nice bonus.
Anyway... My current bottles are:
Vera Wang - Men
Ed Hardy - Villain
Hollister - Jake
I'm happy with those
I like fresh, clean fragrances, not into spicy/musky smells.And... You will laugh at this one, but the new 007 'James Bond' aftershave was bought as a joke because it was cheap (£26) but it actually smells really nice!

This is how I got some aventus recently, 50ml for £60 + postage. Ok it's not in a fancy bottle but it's loads cheaper.

I bought a decant of Creed. Never again. It only lasts about an hour then it wears off. When I bought a new bottle it lasted hours once sprayed.Mr Pies said:

I was really impressed when I had a couple of sprays of Aventus. I smelled all day, and when I put my jacket on again the next two days I could still smell it quite strongly! Was very impressed.

This would be my concern... Is it really 100% Creed? Has the vendor not slipped a bit of water in there to make it fill a couple more bottles.. Must be very tempting when selling 50ml at £60?

A couple of sprays seems to last all day I signed up and sent hm a PM and two days later I had the bottle along with a couple of free samples. The seller seems well respected on there.

Keeping them away from light is what keeps them fresh. I never seem to finish a bottle before moving on to a different fragrance but rather than throw them away they just get put in a drawer, and twenty years later they still smell exactly the same - not sure about how long they will last when used, will have to try one and find out.I keep all perfumes and aftershave in the box, I was told it stops it from going off!
