Chanel Bleu, it turns the average man into some sort of sex god - it is beautiful! The dry down is simply sublime.
I have that as well as the Chanel Allure I need to buy a new bottle of Chanel Bleu as I am running out. The Chanel aftershaves are the best of all the brands in my own opinion.
I couldn't wear it, at least in public, but I've often considered buying a bottle of Thierry Mugler Angel, just so that I could spray some onto a piece of cloth and walk around holding it up to my nose all day. I've followed women around who wear it, just trying to get one more whiff of it. I'll probably get locked up for it one day.
Ignore the David Beckham suggestions, I wear it myself because it's nice but it's not strong in the slightest, the scent barely lingers for even an hour after application.
I recommend Paul Smith Man, you can pick it up fairly cheaply these days and it lasts all day. It's also layered (I think that's the term, I'm not a perfumery expert) as the aroma seems to change after a few hours.
Check out the reviews for Yardley's (yes, really) Citrus & Wood. It's been compared a lot to Terre d'Hermes and it's dirt cheap.
Van Cleef and Arpels Midnight in Paris is really nice - TK Maxx had it for a tenner recently.
Totally agree, they are very similar.
IIRC, the main difference is the Yardley version contains lime, whereas Terre d'Hermes is lemon. Or grapefruit. Doubting myself now.
Either way, they are both very nice. Although if they were the same price, Terre d'Hermes would win every time.
I've been wearing invictus and have had a lot of compliments that I smell nice recently. It is very nice millionaire is supposed to smell similar but I haven't tried it.

I actually prefer Millionaire, but I just can't wear it.
I've no idea why, it must be a specific ingredient that doesn't agree with me.
Same for Joop. I wonder if they have a common ingredient with each other?
I don't actually like Joop though, but got a massive bottle bought for me last Christmas.
I think that for most men a mixture of cigar smoke, sump oil, fried onions and Swarfega would be ideal, with probably a dash of whatever it is they use to waterproof Barbour coats.

Yes. That's the one.
Some people do find it a little bit obnoxious though.
It lingers for ages and it's beautiful.

It's very musky though, be warned.
but you have to inject it into a vein
Why does it cost £215? What's so special about it?
Are there bottles of it that cost less?
