Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

Wonder if it has to be a certain value for them to ship? As when I tried just the sample box it said it wasn't possible, despite showing the prices in pounds
I'm not sure, I got 2 sample sets delivered to New Zealand though just before xmas
 
No matter how many fragrances I buy (I have a fair few as you may know..), I always end up going back to Molecule 01. I think this fragrance is the perfect “oh I don’t know what to wear I’ll just slap this on” it’s not overpowering, yet not weak.

Now, according to some, they cannot smell this. But I can assure you, this stuff leaves a scent trail all day. (Got compliments from three randomers from a different department at work, 6 hours into shift) just wanted to share how much this scent rocks. It’s a unisex leaning masc. try it if you get chance ! The Molecule 01+ Patchouli is incredible too.
 
Mrs has just got me a bottle of Versace Eros Najim parfume.

I had a smell and comparison of all of the versace eros series:
* najim (brown) - 8/10 - deeper, heavier woods, an evening out scent that is more remarked than the flame.
* flame (red) - 8/10 - hits of lemon and coconut, settled like the eros.
* energy (yellow) - 5/10 - smells of citronella, heavy lemon citrus, just too much like a bottle of citronella. More a daily wear feel but would loose out to Monte Blanc Spirit.
* Eros (blue) - 8/10 - cool, steady smell.
* Dylan (blue) - 3/10 - nope.

Wanted to grab some more Bvlgari Black (iirc - the one with a black rubber ring on it), as the one I got back in the early 00s was running out, and is easily my favourite... turns out it's not been produced for a good while and is classed as 'vintage' or something now; upwards of 250 quid!!
 
Any thoughts on stuff from Aaron Terence Hughes

Seems very odd, some stuff gets raved about and some seem very poor

Huge price variations too

And let's not go into some to the bizarre fragrance names

Yeah, avoid. I've had samples of a few and they're just horrible. He's just trying to be edgy.

Got some Hard Candy Elixir and very impressed, included was a sample of ****boy which I was not so keen on

He does come across as a right **** on videos though :p
 
Quiet surprised with Najim, it seems to last through to the next morning.

Had a formal yesterday it seems to result in some flirty behaviour yesterday from a late 20s woman who did the french flirt kiss base of neck when saying good bye to everyone :D given the age difference I put it down to the perfume and alcohol :D because it wasn’t me! Lol.

Although it’s quite a heavy/heady scent for daily use, it certainly is good.

Anybody ever run into a distant substitute for Tom Ford - Tobacco Oud?

My last bottle is running low and it doesn't look like its made anymore
 
I have a bottle of Hugo Boss Night and I like it but I'm curious if anyone could recommend a sample pack? I'd like something that is pretty strong if possible. I don't really have a budget as long as it is not crazy expensive.
 
Tempted to get this as it is around the price range I want to spend (could go higher if recommended) but I was curious what you guys thought?


I'm looking for a pleasant but strong smell.
If you’re buying from very I don’t know what to say.. they don’t have the best selection in fragrances. That being said…

This stuff is nuclear.

 
Thank you very much. I was just Googling around as I'm not familiar with fragrancies and best places to get them from. I'll get that one though.
No worries bud. The selection of fragrances is too large honestly. I usually go to Seescents, Sephora or allbeauty. But like I said.. it can be daunting because of so much selection..

I’d avoid jimmy choo fragrances because they won’t last long. Any designer stuff generally doesn’t last too long. They’re all about making money, and don’t much care for fragrances lasting. (Coach is designer yeah..but I have that stuff in the black bottle and it lasts an eternity)
