I brought some Givenchy Very Irresistible for men and have to say it's the best aftershave I've ever smelt apart from Issey Miyake, whats yours?

    After my parents bought it for me, I like Inis.

    Though mostly I go au naturale. My soap and shampoo smells good enough and I'm not a big fan of it. I prefer to smell clean than having marinated in perfume.

    I prefer a man to smell just showered too rather than a cologne or aftershave.

    Nothing beats the scent of clean.

    I've never smelt the male one but the female version is my favourite, it's yummy and i've always liked la belles de ricci by nina ricci but can never find that hardly anywhere anymore.

    On lads, I LOVE Issey Miyake for Men, Hugo Boss for Men - just fit. My favourites to wear are Hugo Boss Deep Red, and Ralph Lauren Cool.

    Any of Anna Sui's perfumes for me, I think they're absolutely divine. Especially Ooh La Love :love:. Also like Chopard's Wish.

    I generally like my men (man :lol: ) to smell naturally fresh and all that, but he wears Arpege pour Homme by Lanvin and it's heavenly. That said, there's always the Lynx effect :naughty:;)

    I don't use any of those cologne things for an aftershave. Just a simple cream-like sort of thing to ease the skin irritation, nivea balsam.

    Dior Addict, Angel and Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile for me.

    Higher Energy by Dior, Issey Miyake and Jean Paul Gaultier for the fella.

    I bought Britneys perfume Curious for my best friend for Christmas, I sprayed it and thought ewwww, half an hour later it smelt lovely though, odd.

    Charlie Red for me :) not sure if you guys get the Charlie brand in the UK though.

    My best mate used to be Calvin Klein Truth (men) which was real woody smelling but soooooooo nice. Now he wears Hugo Boss Energise and that's just as great. I could smell him all day and not get sick of it. I love a guy that smells real nice.

    I also have Hugo Deep Red and Emporio Armani She as kinda every day scents.

    paul smith floral.

    despite the shit name, this is absolutely the nicest thing i've ever smelt. i went christmas shopping with my cousins and we sniffed absolutely everything in house of fraser to find presents. i had some of this on my wrist, and not only could i not stop smelling myself, my cousin kept asking if she could have a sniff too. happily the chrismas fairies agreed with me :)

    i also have half empty boss woman and diesel zero plus which are equally fab for a bit of variation.

    on men, anything by hugo boss is nice as long as it is really subtle. scented men upset me a bit. i like my men to smell of a pleasant mixture of deodorant, shampoo and manliness.
