Man of Honour
edit. You may have gone a little nose blind to it. Even though you can’t smell it, others will still be able to.
That's what I found today. I had a gilet on with a long collar yet others could smell it still.
Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

Just ordered this Victor scent from the previous page. I'm a sucker for an Aventus clone.
Speaking of Aventus, tried a small sample in House of Fraser the other day. Is it me or do the latest batches last an hour tops? I'm at a stage now where the clones I have outperform the original on all fronts.

you won’t be disappointed ! For the price it can’t be beat. Btw it’s an aerosol edt, not a standard pump spray. Not sure why they decided on that
I’ve never tried the original so can’t comment. But going by forums and reviews, batches can vary wildly from one to the next. Honestly, there’s better fragrances out there (BR540 is my current)
Depends who you listen too. The newer batches are very fruity though. One of my bottles is 19P11, performance on my skin is good. But not as good as my 16 bottle.
If you want a very close Aventus replica, get yourself a sample or bottle of Emporor Extrait from Parfum Vintage.

Never been a big after shave/cologne wearer but decided to get a few samples recently to try for daily use.
DIOR Sauvage - nice but doesn’t seem to last even though it is EDP
Versace Homme - nice, light, inoffensive seemingly.
Boss Bottled - seemed rather generic and could even be more female scent
Paco Rabanne 1 Million - lasts well, but a bit strong
Chanel Homme Sport Extreme - sure I liked this originally, but just seems to be harsh now.
Creed Aventus - wanted to see what the fuss was about. Really impressed too. Seems to last well. Will try this at work....

Great pick. I like both that, and Tuscan leather.
Yep, got a bottle myself. I personally much prefer it to Tuscan Leather.

If you have a local Debenhams store that's closing down, they're currently discounting all frags by 15% (and hopefully more closer to the actual day the doors shut).
The fragranceshop has 20% of most of the time, its 15% off currently.

I bought a load of fragrances for work colleagues recently that wanted to take them abroad for gifts, one that stood out for me was Montblanc Emblem, gorgeous fragrance and can be bought pretty cheap.
One of my personal faves is Dunhill London Icon, I just wish it had more staying power, definitely one of my fave bottles if you care about that.

Everyday? You're a lot braver than I.
I have a small decant of Tuscan Leather which is very similar. Much too strong for me to wear as a daily.
My Victor No9 turned up today. Weird spray design but decent for a cheapie. Will see how it compares with CDNI.
Yeah, definitely worth getting your nose to a sample. I think you’d enjoy it. I’ve a bottle, and it’s great for a dumb reach, casual or dressed up.
edit. Yeah @AiiR its like an aerosol spray, weird decision there by Milton Lloyd. I still use it as an edt (around the neck etc)

I find it very easy to wear, as it drys down to a soft jasmine note. I find OL very different to TL.

Almost finished mine, also a daily wear. Need to reorder.
Go for the edp. It’s richer, smoother, and personally it projects better than the edt.
the parfum is the best smelling option, but, it doesn’t project very well, and ends up a skin scent much faster than the other two.
