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

These days there's not much to choose from in the budget range - even Lynx only do two in the UK (though some of the earlier fragrances such as Alaska, Marine etc. can be bought under the Axe brand from rainforest.de).

At the moment I have:
Armani Balm (for special occasions).
Old Spice
Old Spice Freshwater
Brut
Aquatonic (a rare find, used to be Brut Aquatonic).
Boots Freshwood (that really is cheap and nasty).
Lynx Africa
Lynx Dark Temptation

Tend to rotate on a weekly basis.

I really miss some of the old aftershaves from the 80's and 90's, with Celsius probably top of the most wanted list, followed by Insignia (not the dreadful Rio which smelt like my next door neighbour's pipe smoke) and Denim.
 
John Varvatos
I'm usually sceptical of new fragrances for celeb names but this one smells great and the missus loves it. Lasts well too.

Floid
Aftershave that is ACTUALLY formulated as aftershave not just a smell (contains glycerines to smooth/sooth the skin). If you're old enough you'd remember this smell from when your Dad used to take you to the barbers. It's a classic not widely available in the UK but still sells massivly in Spain/Italy. Added bonus is that it's very cheap and comes in huge 400ml bottles. This is my "everyday" aftershave

Paco Rabanne 1 Million
Nice smell which suits me but sadly overused now - probably won't buy another

Old Spice
The classic and women love it. Seriously. Wear it if I feel like a change from Floid
 
Does the 1 Million in the Paco Rabanne cologne/Eu de Toilette title refer to the number of people who smell exactly like you? It must have come up 7 or 8 times in 60 odd posts. Has it become the de facto 'Not as good as a proper scent but a step up from Lynx Extremezor' in the smelling stakes?
 
i used to use hugo boss becuase it was my exs favortite, the bottle sused u pnwo thoguh so i need a new one

something manly and covers the smell of lube :o
 
I only have 2 on the go at the mo...

Jean Paul Gaultier (Coz I like it)
Intimately Beckham (Coz the wife likes it)
 
These are the 3 I use most frequently at the moment:

Emporio Armani - Diamonds Summer for men.
Vera Wang for Men
Calvin Klein - Eternity Summer for men.

Predominantly young male forum; very sweet top/heart notes; superficially aspirational/gimmicky presentation. It's not that surprising that it's popular. And hey: fewer people wearing Joop has to be a good thing, right? :)

I have this too, mainly cause I work over the road from Proctor and Gamble and you can get 4 sample bottles for a quid. I like it, also JPG Le Male and Vera Wang.

Joop takes me right back to the 80's.

"Uh, why do you smell like sweeties?"

It's just the worst way that a person can smell (pedo's not included, obviously).
