Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

Will got Toy Boy and I'm a bit disappointed in that it smells great, love it but for some reason the strength isn't there, either that or It's my nose.

Anyway it seems a few reviews are the same, so either they've changed the formula it they have qc issues.

It is however a quality scent, and I feel it'll grow on me with use.

Certainly can't grumble at the price, it puts many frags out there to shame.

Must be your nose ? My 30ml is stupidly strong. Gonna give it a wear tomorrow I think.

Could very well be, mother smoked 20 a day which won't have helped.

Give it a few weeks with some oxygen now in the bottle and it should get a bit stronger.

Oud Bleu notes from the website

Bit of a bizarre one this, I've got this on today and it's pleasant enough nothing too overpowering (think i tried it the day after i got it as well) but i thought there was a familiar aroma to the fragrance but I couldn't think where I'd smelt it before.......until today....I will need to double check once I've showered tonight but I'm sure there are hints of the following.....

:eek:

There is a richer undertone which is more like an aftershave but the freshness of the top notes ring true with an air freshener!

For how much it costs I’d expect better than that. :S

Lol fragrantica, *it's a blue fragrance so it must smell like sauvage."

Indeed. It won’t smell like sauvage. I think it’ll do it’s own thing.

it’ll be a bargain too no doubt.

Where have you been!?

There's also CDN Milestone (Millesime Imperial) and of course CDN Intense Man (Aventus).

The notes suggest it'll be similar to Millisime Imperial.

Anyone else think the new Fragrantica is utter dog? Looks like it's been designed by a GCSE student.

Also, anyone else find themselves not bothered about fragrance right now? Haven't touched my collection in weeks.

Got Sillage last week, still can't stick the name. But I I'm amazed at how good it is for so cheap.

Not the last word in projection or longevity, but the scent they nailed or near as.

Spuddy · 25 Mar 2021 at 22:46

Can someone recommend me a new fragrance for spring/summer at upto £75 mark. Need something with great longevity, and decent silage would be a bonus.

My current daily wearers that I would consider 'fresher' are Sauvage, Profumo, Dylan Blue, 1million and Layton by Parfums De Marly. So something a bit different to these.

Bonus points if its at John Lewis because I have a voucher I want rid of.

Escentual is having a 25% off sale on anything (ends tonight) so I bought some sedley by PdM

Ordered a bottle of the new Hermès H24 (50ml) to try out. Looking forward to trying it !

V_R · 4 Apr 2021 at 17:01

Lots in our WhatsApp group had a split of it, seems the general consensus is that it's good but nothing great.
