Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

well I decided to wear my original creed today, and after two hours the smells gone (six sprays as well)

bought from here https://www.fragrancesamplesuk.com/collections/frontpage/products/creed-aventus

is this a fake? I'm going to buy from toms decant but so far nothing's touched my CDNI for smell or longevity. I seem to remember my sample from john lewis also didn't last very long.

No way is it fake from there.

It could be a few things, Olfactory fatigue maybe? Was it a sample? those sample sprays are nothing like full bottle sprayers. Batch number?

I notice with CDNI, when I walk back into my office after lunch is stinks of it....with creed, there's nothing. Hopefully others can smell it on me.

How much cdni do you spray? You maybe over doing it, you don’t want to put too much on so the office smells of it.

You want it to linger around you and when someone comes close, or walks past you or even hugging someone you want them to think wow this guy smells good. :)

Also wearing same scrent every day your nose is going to get used to the smell and you will not be able to smell it.

They are splits/decants from Palmolive on Basenotes. As for the dividers, they, and that drawer, are all part of an IKEA PAX wardrobe. :)

Awesome thanks! Will take a look as it seems like a nice idea instead of buying massive bottles

Can everyone stop recommending this the price seems to be increasing on a monthly basis due to everyone buying it :p
I’m sure it was about £26 on Amazon and eBay last month when I got mine and now it’s £30.99 :eek: think someone said last year it was only half the price it is now.

Ha I think you're right. I still haven't grabbed a bottle but when I was looking at doing so, it was about £27

EDIT: Bought now! :D

A Review of sorts, of the Musk and Hustle samples I received. Note it seems that they do capture the originals quite well, so my comments aren't directed at the clones themselves.

No. 165 (La Nuit de l'Homme by YSL)
This is as expected, I have a flanker of the original and this is spot on.

No. 11 (Allure Homme Sport)
Love this! Fresh citrusy summer smell.

No. 116 (Grey Vetiver)
Reminds me of Mr Sheen or Pledge - very disappointing.

No. 208 (Oud Wood by Tom Ford)
New Favourite, no kidding, this is fantastic. Deep, warm and smooth (Oh Matron!)

No. 84 (Dior Homme Sport)
Just terrible, synthetic teenager stuff.

No. 252 (Spicebomb)
Disappointed with this, doesn't smell like the name if that makes sense, no gravitas at all.

Issey Miyake Summer is always one of my favourites, usually only available in stores for about 6 months of the year, changes slightly year on year as well.
 
Received some Paco Rabanne 1 Million Prive today.
It's a really nice, sweet, spicy scent that reminds me A LOT of Hermes Ambre Narguile which is one of my favourite gourmands (I know it isn't, but to me, it sort of reminds me of cinnamon apple pie).

Its sold as an Eau De Parfum, so it should have decent longevity too.
