Surely the one above my last post can't be a serious one though smile
Who cares if it is? If he wants to scoot some aftershave on before bed, all power to him, imo.

He's not harming anyone.
Heh, I do the same. Wife seems to like it too, not seeing it as a big thing tbh, it's just a quick spray, not showering in the stuff.

I bought Joop Homme on the back of an instagram recommendation.

Excellent value at £19.99 for 125ml but not tried it yet.

As I was in Milan it seemed only right to pick up some Aqua Di Parma Essenza - relaly like the fragrance although its an EDC not an EDP which in my book makes 130 gbp for 180ml quite expensive.
Blimey, paying that much breaks me out in a cold sweat.

£100 is about the going rate in John Lewis and i get to chat up the sales assistant and get some juicy cupboard freebies *sic*

Who is still having a spray of aftershave even if they are just working from home during lockdown. I have to admit I have continued with this daily ritual just to maintain some normality. Spicebomb workhorse for me.
I've always thought Spicebomb an autumn/winter fragrance. (Got the Extreme version).

Really enjoying YSL Y (EdP). Suits spring/summer imo.

I guess the one positive of having to wear a face mask on public transport is that the scent rubs off on it leaving it smelling nice

Yes I still have a spray as part of my daily routine. Spicebomb is also my current daily. I also use a cheap Next one called Voyage. My favorite aftershave is Tom Ford's Ambre Leather 16 and the £8 next bottle smells exactly like it. It even fooled my other half. It doesn't last anywhere near as long but at that price I wouldn't expect it to.

I've not used the stronger ones since lockdown. Spicebomb extreme, Aventus and Tobacco Vanille are sitting gathering dust on my dresser.

I normally work in an office although will be home working from now on even after lockdown is over. Spicebomb extreme is too much for work but the normal spicebomb is OK. I don't use a lot.

Yup, part of my routine, the only thing I enegage my brain for is to briefly decide what to wear.

It's been a lot of Aventus, Neroli Portofino and Bleu de Chanel for me recently. Running out of Portofino, I'm going to need more, it makes for a good summery sent.

MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 today for me, I always forget it smells like rubbing alcohol for the first 30 seconds!
That’s an absolute belter!

I’m due to replace my EDP one and was considering the Extrait. My brother bought the Extrait (more powerful version) and honestly speaking, the EDP smells better and has better projection.

Not sure if they do it online but I got this from their store in Guildford and it has 10ml bottles of Halfeti, Blenheim Bouquet, Endymion, Juniper Sling and one other that I have used and thrown away and can't remember the name of lol. Think it was £40 or thereabouts which I thought was cheap and said that to the girl in the shop and she said that store is a discount one, so it may be more on the website.



Got some new scents from penhaligons in their sale, unboxed

Blenheim bouquet
Opus 1870
Quercus

Each in 100ml, all 3 for £120

All very nice but as someone said above the quercus in particular doesn't last very long

Going to buy a bottle of Davidoff Hot Water later.

Beauty Base have a 110ml EDT @ £20 and I had a spray the other day.

Really nice pong and lasted over 24 hours so I’ll add to my collection.

Been using an Acqua di Parma of some sort for a year which was nice, just switched to Penhaligons Halfeti and keep receiving very positive comments from the ladies at work. I dont think the Mrs is a pleased rofl
