Re: Smells.

On men it's got to be the great smell of Brute.
I'm not a big perfume fan.
I used to love a perfume called Sea Jade by Yardley but they stopped production in the 80s.
I don't like strong Musky smells.

Re: Smells.

Just a note gentlemen.

Aftershave is rubbish, it's alchol based. You should always go for eau de toilette, which is oil based and won't irritate your skin. Plus the perfume lasts longer.

[I do hope eau de toilette isn't censored for not being English.];)

I wear it for the simple purpose of Not Smelling unattractive when in company.

I love the tones of Youth Jew on a woman, but much prefer the seductiveness of Yves Saint Laurent - Rive Gauche. There are not many perfumes that I dislike other than 4711.

For a blast from the past, I loved Old Spice and still like its lingering tones. For the girls it was Charlie “The Original Stuff” as a teenager it use to pump the pheromones whenever it hit me……..

Just to lower the tone, you can't beat the smell of a good Ale...................:)

Youth Jew? would that get up your nose or what.:rofl38: :rofl38:

Re: Smells.

Isn't persomal taste a funny thing? Someone I used to work with must have taken "splash it all over" far too literally and put me off Brut for life. :eek:

Mmmmmm yes 1881 is lovely.

Yes! I think that orange thing was by Coty but what the flippin heck was it?

Re: Smells.

I tend to wear Cerruti 1881 these days, and I love it. If I want something a bit stonger and spicy I will go for Clinique Aromatics Elixir and I also like Clinique Happy.

I remember having some Opium perfume in the 80's, it was really popular then, but it makes me gag now. My mate always wore Poison, and it used to knock me sick.

I'm really fussy with perfumes and it takes me ages to find one that I like. Sales people usually run for cover when I enter a perfumerie. On men I like L'eau d'Issey (or whatever it's called)....

I could never afford expensive perfume in the 80's and early 90's, so me and my sis used to go halves on a copy of Cosmo, rip out the sniff pages of all the new perfumes and rub them all over ourselves for a night out.... A different designer perfume every night for about a quid.... Bargain or what!!!!!!:D

Re: Smells.

Can't stand any overpowering perfume at all. Someone I know wears tons of the stuff and when I've been in her company for even a short while I can smell it on me.

I was once paid a big compliment and told that I didn't smell of anything except 'clean'. Sorry, but I always think that people who wear too much perfume are trying to mask some other sort of smell.

Re: Smells.

I dont know what the perfume i use is - theres no name on the bottle all i know is that its estee lauder but i dont wear it that often anyway only when im going out. I'm not one that will use it all the time. A bottle of perfume lasts me ages sometimes i even end up throwing a bottle out because its smell has gone awol!
