Default Do you wear aftershave/cologne?

When I was a young man I used to wear cologne etc all the time, even to work. As I've got older I've felt a bit uncomfortable wearing it at work, not sure why, just not sure what sort of impression it gives.

So now I've got these nice expensive scents (given to me as presents) just sitting around at home.

Do you wear a cologne at work?

No. I wear perfume. Either JPG or Vivienne Westwood

As long as it is not Lynx (yuck) you should wear smellies. Most of us wimmins like men to smell nice, even at work

I use Sure, because I am sure no one cares what I smell like and I care even less.

As long as I don't smell like a toilet, job done.

I use issaymiyake for work and I only work as a aerial engineer I just like to smell good as a personal preference.

Sometimes wear diesel - brave for work.

Calvin Klein summer is nice fresh smelling one

I have about 15 different aftershaves.but only use 3 of them.

I'm hoping my missis buys me some Vera **** at duty free this week

Never wear aftershave. Just Deodorant, 212.

For some strange reason I'm allergic to something that is in a lot of Deodorants. Have spend huge amounts of money through the years buying different makes, only to come out in a rash then have to stop using it.

Get one that's ok, stick to that.

Brian Fantana: I give this little cookie an hour before we're doing to no-pants-dance. Time to musk up.
Ron Burgundy: Wow... Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne are you gonna go with? London Gentlemen or... Wait... No no no, hold on - Black Beard's Delight.
Brian Fantana: No. She gets a special cologne. It's called Sex Panther, by Odeon. It's illegal in 9 countries. Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent.
Brian Fantana: Oh yeah.
Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... Stings the nostrils... In a good way.
Brian Fantana: Yep.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you. That smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies. 60% of the time, it works every time.
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense.

Paco Rabanne 1 Million or D & G The One at the mo.

My favourite used to be paloma picasso - Minotaur, but it is no longer in production.
I like Fahrenheit which I think is Christian Dior.
Joop is too "raspberry" for my liking, just hangs in the nostril.

Adding: the Boss aftershave is a pretty close thing to Minotaur so I like that as well.

Czech and Speake Citrus Paradisi or Frankincense and Myrrh or Mimosa

Jo Malone Amber and Lavender or Lime Basil and Mandarin

Penhaligon's Ormalu or Victorian Posy (both discontinued).

For blokes I like the classic Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior or Penhaligon's Lords.

Quoram eau de toilette, general day to day use . (For some reason this retains its scent far longer than aftershave)

CK1 very occasionally

Pi is becoming a nice day to day one as well
