I think you will find that Creed is quite popular on here.

Avenues?

I got a bottle as a present, not a fan tbh.

If you got a bottle of "Avenues" you might just have some wee in a bottle, if it's Aventus and you still don't like it I'll give you £20 for the bottle, mine is running out.

Other current favourites include various Acqua Di Parma offerings (Colonia Essenza in particular) and Bleu de Chanel as a "daily". I don't even leave the house for days at a time but I still have a little spray.

I'll give him £30

A friend recently bought me this, smells fab and the ladies love it!

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver

It smells great, but fades in minutes. Creed Vetiver lasts all day.

Chanel Antaeus and Carolina Herrera 212 Men are my other two faves.

"Smell like Jet Fighters and punching".

Someone just gave me a present of Dior Eau Sauvage. It is OK, although quite citrussy.

I agree, you don't need much and it lasts for ages. Compare and contrast Tom Ford's Vetiver, which wears off before you leave the house.

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.

I cannot understand why anyone WOULDN'T wear a nice aftershave??

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!

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.

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?

As Pies says, real Creed lasts hours if not days.

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.

In that case buy it from a shop, or from Creed online. Posh stuff isn't cheapo.

Depends who you really get it from, for example if you get it through ebay, there's a chance you can get scammed but facebook groups usually have a close nit community where everyone knows each other and the people doing the splitting are doing it for the love of the fragrance not for business. I have purchased around £250 worth of decants and all have come in perfect.

The group above is the place where most people split frags. The good thing is, when someone gets scammed the scammer normally gets named and shamed. If any of you guys need decants I can refer you to my go to guy, he pretty much has all Creeds and other quality niche frags.

How much does he charge for a decant?

Well I can get a price list from him or just give you his facebook, so you can contact him your self. He lives in US and my last 50ml Aventus decant from him was around $75 including shipping which took about 2 weeks. So around £55.

My wife gave me some Paul Smith cologne, which is pleasant, and also a bunch of L'Occitaine almondy bath and shower gunk, and a new badger shaving brush (for shaving badgers, natch). Also some cufflinks made from the wings of a Red Arrows Hawk that crashed (non fatally). Good bloke-presents.
