Guys - What fragrance/aftershave/whatever do you wear?

Can anyone recommend a decent spring/summer scent for daily use? Seeing as it's for the summer I want something crisp and fresh but that lasts. I tried Eau Sauvage a while ago and while I liked the scent it only lasted about 2-3 hours on my skin, I want something that's going to keep on going for at least 8 hours.

I was thinking Creed Green Irish Tweed. I tested it once and loved the scent but never ended up buying a bottle. Any other suggestions?

Couldn't resist buying Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. 100ml parfum. I bloody love it.

Try Bleu de Chanel - it lasts for ages for me.

Ah thanks for the tip but I've already tried it and it was just as bad in terms of longevity as Eau Sauvage.

BO & Flatulence, keeps the money grabbing slappers away.

Also whoever posted the nose.fr link up for some Aventus Creed thank you , i've pulled the trigger should be here Tuesday

Hugo Boss - Just Different.

I like the scent, but it doesn't last too well and isn't that strong.

Black XS, Fahrenheit, Le Male, Hugo Boss XY, Boss in Motion.

I've narrowed my next fragrance down to either Creed Aventus or Creed Vetiver. I love both but I'd be quite interested in people who have also tried both and which they preferred? I've not been able to try them on at the same store so I'm having difficulty choosing a preferred one (Aventus is popular so their samples are usually empty).

Aventus, 100%. I have both and there is nothing quite like Aventus; Original Vetiver has been duplicated as Mugler Cologne (by Thierry Mugler). It's also received the most compliments by far out of anything I own or have ever owned.

Aventus is the most popular choice and does smell good, but due to its own success its very common. Its also not as versatile as Original Vetiver as I find Aventus can be a bit over powering to wear daily.

I really like Original Vetiver, classy and understated, unlike Aventus which is shouty look at me smell. But Mugler Cologne cost a fiction of the price £20 for 100ml and smell 95% the same, it would be difficult for me to justify the cost of OV.

Go for the Ea de Parfum version and it lasts ages! If I put it on in the morning before work I can still smell it when I get home in the evening

Creed - Green Irish Tweed. Lasts bloody forever!

Taylor of Old Bond St - Sandalwood Aftershave Gel

I really like it, so do the ladies! (and I'm told it still lasts until the evening if they get close enough)

Just got back from holiday, treated myself to a bottle of Sauvage as a summer scent to give me some variety from my usual splash of Diamonds.

I can't remember the name (might have been another Dior) but there was another fragrance I tried that smelled exactly the same as the rooms at a premier inn, uncanny!

Hades · 13 Jun 2016 at 18:08

Thanks for the opinions on vetiver and aventus.

A similar response from me - I'm not one for expensive aftershaves and use Proraso aftershave lotion.
