What smell does your OH wear?

Houdini, 27 July, 2010 at 10:19 Posted on Planning 0 27

I'm after getting OH a new aftershave for the wedding as I *think* he's got me something more for a present than I have got him. So not thinking anything too flash, I'm going more for thoughtful presents but I don't know if I can get out without him to smell some aftershaves!

He does, or has in the past, worn Emporio Armarni 'White', Issey Miyaki, Cool Water (which I'm not keen on), Hugo Boss 'Boss Bottled' and Giorgio Armani 'Diamonds'.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ta muchly!

    Which Dior one LuLu?

    Any descriptions of these smells? I know this is something I really need to go out and physically do but at least this way I can limit my options!!

    Opps sorry, just the Dior Homme, says on the website: Dior Homme Eau de Toilette is a woody aromatic. The elegance of the iris with a masculine touch and a vetiver base. but i think its just really fresh smelling! oh and the OH also has some of the ones that your OH has so would assume they have similar taste :p x

    I love Chanel Allure Homme Sport - it goes well with my Coco chanel mademoiselle - so if you like that you might like it. It's not overly cheap though. It smells musky and strong and lasts ages, but isn't overpowering - you'd only smell it being next to him!

    My Brother wears 212 sexy - it's in a silver bottle and I adore the smell of that too - it's less manly than the dior and more obvious that the channel.

    My hubby alternates between Vera Wang for men (although he doesn't think the smell is strong enough of this one), Safari and Armani Attitude. He also has some Issey Miyake (sp?) which I like too but I prefer Safari - lingers longer and smells gorgeous.

    Mine has an aroma of lemon bleach, furniture polish and washing up liquid. He's a well trained boy ?

    Mine actually very rarely wears aftershave. My current favourite is Issey Miyake for men. I wear the women's one and have done for years!

    My OH wears CK One and I love that smell on him, I'm not much of a fan of really aftershavey scented aftershaves (if that makes sense) and that one smells sort of fruity in a manly way!

    My OH wears Issey Miyake.... he never wears anything else. Love the smell of it though so that's ok.

    I know that's not much help, but just thought I'd post anyway ?

    They call me Rain Man at work - I remember lots of random useless information! I know about L'Occitane as I used to work for them years ago and JT always wanted the Cade scented candles for his hotel rooms.

    Aaaaand that's the end of my fragrance related random info! Over!

    Aaah but drifter we'd be great in a pub quiz team...

    L'Occitane discount was vay good - and the freebies. When I worked for Dior I got good ones too. However now I work for the fuzz I get nada!

    My H2B has loads!!!

    Diesel - Only the Brave (I love this one!)

    D&G - Pour Homme

    Versace Blue Jeans (He loves this one, I'm not so keen)

    There is also a Hugo Boss one (in a rectangular mirrored bottle) and a Burberry one (in a black and grey checked bottle) which are also lovely but I can't remember their names!!!

    Plus half a dozen others that I can't remember but he doesn't wear these very often, including a David Beckham one, CKin2U...
