My dad’s birthday is coming up and he expressed that he wants to try aftershave and/or cologne again. He is elderly and has extremely sensitive skin, but he wants to smell nice. Any suggestions I can look into for him? (Not sure if I can ask this in here) Thank you in advance.
I am looking to buy my boyfriend (M26) a new scent. He absolutely loves Ralph Lauren Polo Red so I had bought him one a couple months ago but turns out they changed the formula and he prefers the old formula. I asked around and no one has the old formula no more so I am looking for a recommendation for similar scents or just other scents that someone that loves Polo Red would also enjoy!! ☺️ He also likes vanilla, woody, chocolatey scents! Thank you so much.
Not a huge fan of vanilla in fragrances unless it’s done right and Eav Des Bavx is one of the few in my collection that does it right. Beautiful smoky amber vanilla fragrance that is warm and spicy. It opens up with some nice cardamom and incense, along with some dry woods but the dry down is where that vanilla becomes prominent along with the cinnamon.
Very masculine and old school. It’s a shame L’Occitane rebranded this, made the bottle smaller and raised the price. Performance is moderate, usually get 6 to 7 hours of total longevity.
This one is a fall and winter staple for me. If you can still find this in the brown bottle for a decent price I would highly recommend it.
Finally ran through my bottle of YSL Tuxedo and as much as I love that fragrance, I can’t justify dropping that much for a new one currently. Now I’ve had my eyes on Moustache for years now but never pulled the trigger on it until now. Was able to get this 125 mL for $24.
What a bang for your buck this is. The quality is fantastic. Very well blended and feels a lot more expensive than what it is. The vanilla and benzoin dry down here is really nice.
When I think of a gentleman’s fragrance, this DNA pops into my head immediately. Perfect for special occasions in the fall and winter.
Performance seems to be in the 5 to 6 hour range which is what I usually got from Tuxedo. I know you can get a Middle Eastern dupe of Tuxedo with better performance than Moustache but none of them will come close in terms of scent quality.
I already have SWY intensely and I’m looking for something with a similair DNA , (something sweet, vanilla cinnamon ETC) not exactly a 1 to 1 dupe but something along those gourmand men’s fragrence lines. Preferably under 100 dollars
Have heard in the fragrance community how great the OG Terre D’Hermès is. Never got around to trying it until now. Saw it for $55 at Marshall’s and decided to scoop it up.
Now I see why this fragrance is so praised and considered a masterpiece. It just exudes class.
A few years ago I had the original luna rossa and was disappointed with projection. Smelled this at tps and was blown away at how good it smelled. Definitely up my alley. Also received a 20% discount which made me buy it.
Dune is so fine.
I always enjoy wearing this, tho I just started to use this gem in this year. It has a little vintage feeling, but so manly, soft at the same time, a little restrained so it doesn't scream for attention. Sandalwood is the main star here, paired with green notes (on the pyramid it says cassis but I literally get some green grapes), in the drydown some vanilla but not sweet. For warm days I can only suggest to try and wear it 👍👌
If you want to smell clean like you just got a fresh cut in a crisp white tee, Amber Pour Homme fits the vibe. Amazing fragrance. I’ve owned both the Puig (Spain) and newer France batches. There are subtle differences but nothing major. Truthfully the performance on both batches is around the same for me.
L’Homme Intense goes without saying. Absolutely beautiful scent. Not pictured was the OG L’Homme which I just ran out of but will be getting another bottle soon.
Based on your experience and opinions, I’m planning to buy 5 fragrances from this list.
Which 5 would you pick, and why? I’d really appreciate your honest recommendations, especially from people who have actually tried them.
What are your top 5?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for really strong fragrances with serious projection and longevity. I love strong performers, to th point that I think that the red tobacco from mancera isn't really strong, even though I'm sure it's caused by the reformulation.
I recently tried a 1 ml of Followed by Kerosene. I absolutely loved the performance — the projection was nuclear and it just would not leave — but I really hated the smell, it's absolutely unwearable. It was way too much for me scent-wise.
So now I’m searching for something that has that same kind of massive projection and performance (or as close as possible), but with a smell I can actually enjoy. It doesn’t have to be quite as extreme as Followed by Kerosene, but I still want it to fill a room and last forever.
Just to give info, my favorite oat is the Fahrenheit parfume. It's my absolute daily, grate projection, less longevity, so i want something that actually performs better and has an enjoyable scent.
Right now I’m stuck between Xerjoff Erba Pura and Xerjoff Naxos. Has anyone tried both? Which one would you recommend for big projection and longevity? Or is there something else I should be looking at that hits that strong performance + better scent profile?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
Hi! I’m planning to get my boyfriend a Zara perfume as an additional gift. I chose Zara mainly because it’s affordable and I don’t want to spend too much on another gift, but I still want to get him something he’ll actually like.
He’s been wearing CK One for years and pretty much always sticks to it, so I thought it would be nice to get him something different for a change.
For those who have tried Zara perfumes, is there anything similar to CK One that you would recommend? Or if you’re a CK One fan, which Zara perfume do you think you’d like?
I’m looking for something fresh, clean and easy to wear. Would love to hear your suggestions!
I have this odd request, hopefully I can find some answers but would anyone know if there is a man’s fragrance that smells similar to Old Spice’s “Sunrise” scent?
I recently bought the body wash of this product line and really like it. The label on it states “Sunrise” with a scent profile built from peach and mandarin peel.
Was hoping to get some recommendations that fit that kind of fragrance description for men’s cologne or perfume. Thank you in advance for any insights
