Which aftershave do you use?
Discussion
Hello all... does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of a bottle of Juste un Baiser by Fragonard? Either original or a copy.
My wife has finally run out and I cannot find any anywhere. This is quite understandable as it has been out of production for a number of years, as far as I'm aware. It was released in 2005 I believe.
Anyway if you have any clues to offer I would be most grateful.

Your best bet would of been to keep the last bits and get a private blend made up. Not cheap, but would of been a solution possibly?My wife has finally run out and I cannot find any anywhere.

You could try finding a scent with similar notes if that one is discontinued. My wife has finally run out and I cannot find any anywhere. This is quite understandable as it has been out of production for a number of years, as far as I'm aware. It was released in 2005 I believe.

Try pear, violet, mandarin and blackberry in this to see similar scents.

Remembered reading this thread and was curious about so many people raving Creed.
Well, the Mrs was in town the other day and she got herself a bottle of Creed Aventus ladies perfume. Now i will concede that it smelt better than the other samples she got but it still is not a pleasant smell to me.
She also got a sample of the mens Creed Aventus which i tried, and again found so bad that i had to wash it off it was so irritating to me.
What's odd is that i usually like quite strong perfumes / aftershaves. I use Hermes Terre, and SWIMBO usually uses Joe Malone Myrrh and Tonka which i like
I am now off to have a covid check as there must be something wrong with my sense of smell or something

New Aventus isn't anywhere near as good as Old Aventus. I wouldn't buy the new one now - I did a split with BrabusMog on a bottle of Parfum Vintage 'Emperor Extrait' which really does smell like Old Aventus as well as being a lot cheaper to boot.
The other Creeds are still great, I'm about to order some more Green Irish Tweed, Original Santal, Himalaya and Bois du Portugal.

To be honest, it would need to be a different perfume entirely to smell better, it smells like a cross between a bottle of gin and a schoolkids first super strength cheap aftershave from the market stall to me. I guess it’s just a scent that does not agree with me.
Shame as the wife now has the jump with me

We all like different things I guess..! I've got a load of different ones I rotate around; today is Penhaligon's Endymion Concentré.
I really like Endymion, I got it in a multipack of (I think) 10ml bottles from their outlet in Guildford, Penhaligons have some great scents.Edit - missus loves the Emperor Extrait as it “smells how it used to smell”
gonna order the full bottle. Just need to find someone that makes a decent version of Amouage Ciel as that’s now discontinued.

Same as Isla Tropical is now my go-to Virgin Island Water. 40% of the price of Creed, but actually a slightly better product IMO.

Big fan of the Penhaligons scents at the mo. Think it was from reading this thread as well.
Gone with the Lord George and Terrible Teddy for now, whilst the missus has the Heartless Helen.
V nice I have to say, but each to their own as well.
I'm also a big fan of Penhaligons scents. I have Terrible Teddy, The Blazing Mr Sam and Halfeti, although Halfeti is rarely used as it is so strong.Gone with the Lord George and Terrible Teddy for now, whilst the missus has the Heartless Helen.

My only slight complaint is that Lord George seems to have been changed slightly from when it first came out. It used to have a significant 'shaving cream' note to it, and a recently purchased bottle seemed really lacking in the shaving cream/barber shop notes, and heavier on the smoky kind of tobacco notes.
