Looking for inspiration for a 55 year old man who simply put aftershave on his Christmas list! What are your favourites and can you give a description of the scent please? Daisy

The Paul Smith ones are quite nice ;o)

Hiya Daisy:-) Marc Jacobs does a really gorgeous and unusual one, smells like fresh figs...*swoons......XX BC

I really like Paco Rabanne Pour Homme

Paul, how did I know you'd say that! lol BC - that sounds yummy. Trish I have a vague recollection of that one. Might end up thinking of the wrong person though! Daisy

My son wears Davidoff Cool Water. His Dad wears a beard. ;>) >*|*<

I am going to watch this thread with interest Daisy. I had forgotten, but when we were on holiday hubby asked the waiter what his aftershave was as he liked it so much. I intended to put some in his Christmas stocking but I can't remember what it was called. I hope someone mentions it as I think it would ring a bell. I do seem to remember that it was something that conjured up manly or masculine:)) Not much help am I LOL:)) Chrissie xx

I use Issy Miyake - it's very nice, but I won't attempt to describe it. I do have some Paul Smith too - and Sharon has some 'Paul Smith London' perfume, which is lovely, very fruity (like me lol).

my fave is Jean Paul Gaultier (sp?) its my absolute fave, makes me melt when i smell it!! dont know how to describe it buts its lovely!!!! xxxx

I am trying to find a really really spicy one but not old spice lol xxhugxx any suggestions would be very very welcome.

Also Faranheit is nice, i thinkits by Dior. As i remember its quite sweet smelling xx

being an older man , would he prefer on of the 'older' names? maybe Old Spice or something of that era... Paco Robane pour Homme is nice though

Hiya Daisy, Depends if you like fresh or warm fragrances I like either Ralf Laurens Safari or Christian Dior Eau Sauvage lotion or balm Test them in a Department store, I do all the time lol. Pat x

Sorry just noticed Steedie mentioned Fahrenheit yes it Dior and its also very nice too. Lauren Dior & Chanel are my faves. Pat x

Davidoff, Cool Water is lovely! I also like Harley Davidson, Blue Jean. But for your OH I'd recommend Issay Miyake (the standard scent I think). Love becx

But not too much...don't want to mask that nice animal, musky masculine odour, now do we?:-) lol BC

That's very true BC. After all, that's what attracts us in the first place isn't it:))

Why not try 'Givinchy' or Givinchy Gentleman,Both are good. Hal.

I agree with BC & Chrissie too much is far worse than too little ;-) I used to love Givenchy must check on it again, haven't smelt in for years. Pat x

Can't describe them but my oh wears the following and they're all nice:- Armani White Paco Rabanne Davidoff Cool Water Does anyone remember Pino Sylvestre? Many many years ago he used to wear it and would love to buy some just to see what it smells like but can only find it on American sites! Debby
