Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

Ugh, getting to the dregs now of my Loewe Solo Cedro - lovely aftershave and will be buying more

Oh, I thought it would just be a stronger version of the same fragrance.

So these "intense" versions are actually a different formula?

DHI is different to DHP.

The former is more vanilla/iris.

The latter is more leather/iris.

I personally prefer DHP, it performs better. And lasts a hell of a lot longer. I save it for weekends. But I wear DHI daily for work.

Edit. DHP is in stock at notino

Not cheap though

You’ll be able to smell it 8+ hours later, it’s a real great performer. I can sometimes still smell it on clothes after they’ve been in the wash

I sprayed it on at 5.30am this morning and I can still smell it, I get a spice bomb kind of smell from it now, like a sweet cinnamon smell.

Yep. It turns into a leathery/chocolately/cinnamony smell for me as well. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. Any compliments on it yet ?

Just ordered a sample of Fahrenheit parfum. I know I like the original, so interested to see how this one differs

Mobius 1 · 5 Dec 2018 at 15:46

Good spot ! And a good price too.

You’ll like the Fahrenheit parfum. It tones down the “petrol” smell and amps up the vanilla. It’s much easier to wear all year round.

Pyr0m@nI@]{ · 5 Dec 2018 at 15:56

Thanks Tauren, that sounds good as I really enjoy the violet, but the engine oil smell is my least favourite part lol

My current go to scent is Luna Rossa Carbon however whilst I love the smell it doesn't seem to last all that long.

Any recommendations for something to try?

According to fragrantica, LRC smells similar to Sauvage. So maybe give that a try if you haven’t already?

Coach or coach platinum is also a good shout. For a cheaper option.

Or Parfums Vintage X Batch for a Sauvage/Aventus mix. But it's a bit more pricey. Good stuff though.

All are very nice juice and you can easily get samples of them before you go full bottle.

Always fancied trying their pineapple vintage range! They any good ?

If you like Aventus you will like the Pineapple Vintage line, from the old smokey batches to the newer fruity ones.

Then they came out with the likes of Vanilla Intense which is Aventus with a hit of vanilla - very nice.

Now they have started branching out.

You can get samples here: https://www.parfumsvintage.com/uk-usa-samples

Rather than me trying to explain the differences, take a look at this....

Mobius 1 · 6 Dec 2018 at 10:51

Thanks ! I’ll take a look !

Went mad and bought a 200ml Light Blue Intense EDP and a 100ml Luna Rossa Carbon EDT yesterday. Both smell very nice to me and last ages.

Been wearing the perfume parlour Tom Ford copies recently, all very close to the original and last almost as long.

Captain · 8 Dec 2018 at 19:31

Just incase anyone is looking for a good scent, john Lewis have Dior sauvage 100ml for £52.

Ordered some.

Pyr0m@nI@]{ · 11 Dec 2018 at 16:54

I received my sample of Fahrenheit parfum earlier. Definitely a bit softer than the original. A nice light, floral fragrance.
I've just ordered a bottle from debenhams for £69.70, down from 82

Where was your sample from?

eBay. It was the only place I could find one

Captain · 12 Dec 2018 at 01:39

What do people prefer, sauvage EDT or EDP?

I tried EDT but then bought EDP and not sure I like it as much, similar smells but there are differences.
