Male fragrances

[chaos_insomniac]

What are the best and worst male fragrances? I want to buy a really decent one (e.g. D & G). I don't know shit about stuff like that so help!

And shoes...I want new classy yet casual shoes, what are the best brands to go for?

[Acrobat]

Best thing fragrance-wise would be to go to somewhere that sells them and try a few out. They smell different on different people due to the pH value of skin, so the best thing is to try them.

Like in Boots where they spray them on your arm?

[Acrobat]

Yes, like that. I'd go somewhere with a specific fragrance counter like John Lewis or Debenhams though, the people behind the counters are more likely to know what they are talking about than a random in Boots.

Or go to The Perfume Shop because they are the best. (Thought I'd better include a shameless plug as I work there!)

hugo boss - think its just called boss - in a silver ball
armani white/il
comme des garcons 2(get the womens one in the silver bottle)
marc jacobs

[Bri-namite]

Unisex stuff is the way to go.

[Kiezo]

Avoid the Hugo Boss silver ball one like it's Zyklon-B - that shit is horrible :yuck:

A few ones to try:

Jean Paul Gaultier,
Issey Miyake,
Alessandro Dell'acqua.

A few ones to avoid:

That Hugo Boss one,
Joop!,
Other ned ones like Joop! ;[

try the distinctive im so ill i havnt left the house in a whole week and have sucessfully spent 2 entire days mostly in bed, and about a couple of days mostly in the room you have your bed in, when your too ill to even stand up for a shower cause it will make you sick

when you can only hand wash, you smell,thats a bad male fragrance, but one i have suffered last week

ewww

[Miffy]

Polo blue is lovely.

But yes, you should go and try them out first.

Don't try more than three at a time cause your nose will get confused. Get them to spray it on one of those little cards first and then if you like it get them to spray it on you. Go and walk around for an hour (because the smell changes) and if you like it on you after an hour, then you like it.

Issey Miyake,


That stuff is gorgeous! :heart:

[lexijb]

Go 2 Boots or Debenhams or where you can try some. See how they smell on you tho, cos different people smell different.
I love Joop on all blokes lol Depends if its for the ladies or for you
Whatever you feel most comfortable wearin...Ask da staff in da shop cos they're the experts!

What's your price range, what outfit are you buying them to go with and what style are you after?

[wheresmyplacebo]

fahrenheit, chanel, chanel allure are all quite good, i use them

i have the taste of an old man apparantly, not my fault if i dont think guys should be smelling fruity, and none of women whose opinion i listen to, dis agrees with me either - my tommy one i got smelt of tangerines, whats the point, want manly smelling stuff

Aye, that's why I said avoid the Hugo Boss one in the silver ball - smells of oranges :/

[Ilora-Danon]

Yves Saint Lauren - Riv Gauche for men. Stunning!!!

(I sooo can't spell it lol)

Ilora x

[chaos_insomniac]

What's your price range, what outfit are you buying them to go with and what style are you after?

It'll be reasonably casual, nothing too formal and nothing overly "goth". Preferably something that works well with anything casual, so something that would go with blue/black jeans and a shirt/t-shirt. Probably will be wearing them to go out and may wear them most of the time.

Price range wise I'm not made of money, but would possibly go up to £60/70 if they looked damn good.

[Doofay]

Izzey :D

[joshmeister]

Why buy them?

Go up to the assistant on the desk* and ask for samples :D get like 10 diffrent fragreneces :)

* mainy at department stores

Giorgio Armani - Acqua Di Gio :heart: :heart: :heart:

http://mactak.pekori.jp/img/ACQUA_GIOM.gif

Some people did a bunch of studies on this cologne and they put ingredients in it that turn on women. I dont know if they sell it in the UK but they sell it tons here in the US and it is THE best cologne I've ever smelt. I'm sure you can buy it off the net though. Even just buy a small sample of it because it smells soooo good. :yes:

Abercrombie and Fitch Woods is really nice and classic. Abercrombie and Fitch Feirce or just plain old Abercrombie and Fitch are nice too.

[UpsetChap]

Diesel Plus is nice.

My papa wears it...can't say it appeals much to be honest.

Deisel plus is nice, as is Farenheight (I know, I can't spell). Paul Smith does a lovely aftershave but can't for the life of me remember the name...Extreme I think. Very nice :yes:

And somone else said it, but IKON do nice shoes. As do Base London. Available at your local Dolcis :thumb:

And oi - can't remember who said it, but Boss In Motion (yes, the silver ball one) is not like Zyklon B!! I like it, and mum bought it for me, so up yours! :(

[wheresmyplacebo]

farenheit - swear by it ;)

[Acrobat]

farenheit - swear by it ;)

Sorry, but Fahrenheit smells like old men IMHO.

Dior Higher Energy or Armani Black Code-that is good smellage.

[k@tie]

farenheit - swear by it ;)
