Creed - Aventus The only fragrance for a man.

 

[PerchedOnRings]

Anybody else a huge fragrance aficionado? I've worn fragrances off and on throughout my life without much thought about the differences between them, but over the past two years I've really taken a deep dive into the world of fragrances, specifically colognes but also some perfumes (for the wife). As we roll through spring and into the summer, what are some of your favorite go to scents for the season? Just picked up a few decants of designer and niche scents for the spring season that could also work for summer, but a few not intended for high heat.

- Costa Azzurra by Tom Ford
- Artisan Blu by John Varvatos
- Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera
- Un Jardin Sur Le Nil by Hermes
- Uomo Acqua by Valentino
- Wood Neroli by Bvulgari
- Eau Tres Fraiche by Hermes
- Stronger with You Freeze by Armani

Creed - Aventus
Parfume de Marly - Leyton
YSL- La Nui de l’Homme

I'm 47. When I was in high school, it was all about RL Polo for the guys. College it was Drakar and Tommy.
As I've gotten older, colognes really aren't "it" where a man is concerned.

Smalls has started checking out cologne when he goes to Ulta with me. I smell most of them, and I just don't like a lot of them. Although, Polo is still the most classic fragrance out there for men, IMO.

Now...a glove leather or baseball leather cologne? YES!!!!!! 😄

I’ve always thought Polo was the best and most classic. More recently Aqua Di Gio and Polo Red.

Never thought I’d ever see a post like this in FGF, but nothing surprises me these days...

We currently have threads on Car Rentals, Chicken Shortage, Knee Replacement, Melinda Gates divorce, and Most White Trash moments, but this is the one that surprises you ? 😆

Yes, but only because it’s the least likely for a male to post and this board is mostly male (or at least I think it is).

Brut all day...

Creed - Aventus
Parfume de Marly - Leyton
YSL- La Nui de l’Homme

All three of these are legends. Tried Carlisle by Parfums de Marly? Badass winter scent.

For summer try Acqua di Gio Profondo and for winter try the Polo Red Intense

I prefer a good artisan soap these days. Bay rum, almond cream are a few faves. If I had to pick a cologne, anything by Armani does the trick.

Pro tip: if people across the room can ID your cologne, you are wearing too much.

You'd be surprised how many men wear fragrances. Try a few of these that have been listed and step up your game. 😎

True....never want to be that guy who chokes a m'fer out.

So many different batches these days, who the hell can keep up? I prefer the smokier/birch batch myself.

 

[RickyRooster]

BTW, the price of colognes has gotten outrageous! It costs way to much to buy some.....just to try.

Try some decants from these websites. I usually go for the 10 or 8 ML decants so I can wear them for a few weeks to see if I like them. If you do like them, try going on a discount site to see if they have the full bottle fragrance you're looking for.

Come on man. Step up your game.
Men's fragrance revenue is in the billions. so obviously there are many men taking the plunge. Why not share what some of your favorites are ?

I wear Hugo Boss...have for years. But I’m just not into having conversations about it.

Metrosexual city...smh...winter, spring, summer and fall cologne. Who the hell come up with that crap? Lol Damn the testosterone levels in society really are declining.

 

[Harvard Gamecock]

I've been using Eau Sauvage by Cartier since my mid 20's. A great summer cologne.

Good stuff. Step it up and try these others by Hugo Boss for the fall and winter - Boss Bottled Intense and The Scent-Private Accord

And for the summer Boss Bottled Tonic and Boss Bottled Unlimited.

All of these are pretty cheap buys on Frangrancenet.com

Check out Knize10 from lucky scent. It has your leather scent.

I remember Drakar and Polo. Now, it's Dove soap.

I've still got a bottle of Pierre Cardin my step-grandpa gave me over 30 years ago. (I haven't used it much)

 

[Harvard Gamecock]

There is Le Labo Santal 33, smells just like a Frye Leather Store.
However, it is on the serious high end.

 

[Gamecock Jacque]

If you want to smell like leather put on a pair of crotchless chaps.

Went to Nice, France two years ago and while there I took my wife to the Molinard perfumery in Grasse, France. I scheduled a two-hour session for the two of us to develop our own personalized fragrances from their over 125 individual fragrances. During the session we learned the techniques of developing a single fragrance from the individual fragrances, to include the proper amounts for balance. My wife now has her own customized perfume and I have my own personalized cologne. We both have a certificate that has the recipe for our personalized fragrances. They are on file at the perfumery and we can reorder at any time, which we have done several times. If in Nice, I highly recommend going to the Molinard perfumery in Grasse.

I still like Drakkar, does that mean I am in my second childhood? Like you Freddy, English Leather was it in highschool in the late 60' s.
