Clean smelling aftershave?

Freeman · 3 Jun 2011 at 20:57

Hi,

I've run out of my beloved aftershave and can no longer get it.

I'd rather use a non scented deo and aftershave rather than a smelly teenagers deo.

I'm not looking for a pongy saturday night smell, but rather a fresh out of the shower smell aftershave - something neutral and not too overpowering.

Any recommendations?

Cheers.

Cool Water is my go to aftershave, very fresh smelling and not overpowering

hillfiger cologne is very fresh, subtle too. no way overpowering at all.

Bvlgari Pour Homme.

Cool Water or Acqua Di Gio. However, these two are pretty common these days and so do you really want to smell like everyone else?

Really liking L’eau D’Issey as a nice summer fragrance though. Lasts most of the day as well.

Or if you really want to push the boat out and go for something fantastic, go for Green Irish Tweed. Expensive though!

GiT smells too much like cool water vice versa imo...

i've just bought some givenchy very irresistible fresh attitude. smells pretty good.

Creed Virgin Island Water or Green Irish Tweed.

Indeed, which I think is what they were aiming for, but to me the GIT is just a little more nicer.

yup, you can tell the difference, as GiT smells a lot less synthetic than cool water too.

Not classy

each to their own!

Issey Miyake is a personal favourite of mine at the moment. Really fresh and not very overpowering at all.

It looks like a bottle of alcohol lol.

Just looked at the prices of Cool Water and GiT.. for the same volume it's £27 and £90 respectively?!?

I use Diesel Only The Brave for my 'out and about' scent. Not too neutral but it's not a Friday night scent.

Yep, but it's worth the extra.

I wouldn't impulse buy it though for that price. Try and find a site that sells samples/splits.

Razor-BladE · 3 Jun 2011 at 21:34

Hmm, I'll keep an eye out for it. Is it known enough for high street stores to stock them?

Mobius 1 · 3 Jun 2011 at 21:34
