What is your scent?
Let´s leave our Man Cards out of this, shall we?

Yesterday while waiting for my better half, I toured a beauty shop and started looking at Men´s Eau de Toilette / Cologne, etc.
Came accross a Creed Vetiver bottle that costs here around $400 and started wondering if you are supposed to smell nice or smell very expensive...

Usually, I smell like last week´s roadkill (and down here it´s a scarching summer alternated with heavy suffocating rains, if you catch my drift) BUT to deal with that I use a few men´s eau de toilette.

Here´s my list:

Jean Paul Gaultier:Le Male (and variants)
Paco Rabanne: 1 Million
Calvin Klein: CK One
Armani: Acqua di Gio

So what´s your personal choice?

Apologies, the original thread must have been bouncing inside my head and the Creed Vetiver recalled it somehow, with no memory of having read it. And I had.

Thank you, Eponym

I've heard of Creed. A younger shipmate of mine recently bought some. I'm quite certain it's not any less expensive here.

I rarely ever wear cologne anymore, but I still have a bottle of Chrome by Azzaro that I do use on occasion. It's subtle which is why I like it, but it always gets compliments.

Lotrimin and tushie wipes. Although, when my dad passed, I got his entire collection of Perry Ellis and Lagerfeld classic, so if I ever find myself in a situation where close female proximity might be involved I'm covered (I hope this stuff doesn't spoil).

Just whatever shave soap I've used that day, so nothing terribly intense.

Right guard fresh scent and I swear no matter how much I shower and wash my clothes, I still feel like I smell like the County Morgue

Depends upon whether I've taken a shower, recently... (*sniff* *sniff* - guess it's about time), whether I've been working in the yard, messing around with wood and stain and stuff, shooting and firearms cleaning, operating gasoline-powered yard/snow power equipment, etc., etc.

I don't do colognes or whatever any more.

I use no scent, I am in close proximity to strangers and don't want to have a traceable smell.

Now when working in the shop I consider the stank that surrounds me as part of the pride of a hard days work.

Regular soap except for extreme sitchiashuns like weddings and such, I use Aqua Velva blue.
But it's aged, I've been using the same bottle since my wedding day in 1980.
