What's Your Favorite After-Shave or Cologne?

[huntertrw]

I tend to favor old-time scents, and among my favorites are:

1. Ed Pinaud Clubman


2. Gabels Bay Rum


3. Murray & Lanman Florida Water


What are yours?

One of my favorites is Floyd.

The cologne I've used for nearly 20 years, and probably my all around favorite - though I consider it a primarily Summer scent - is Armani Aqua di Gio.

The old Lacoste Silver was my favorite Winter scent but it's been long discontinued and my last bottle was exhausted a couple years ago.

There was a Guess cologne that I had a sampler of, probably 12 years ago, that was absolutely spectacular. It didn't have a name on it aside from the Guess logo and I've never been able to pin it down.

bay rum everyday and all day. Still looking for the king but whatever.

I'll use Old Spice original occasionally but I usually prefer Egyptian Musk.

One of my favorite colognes, John Varvatos's "Dark Rebel," is sadly discontinued. You can occasionally find a bottle of it online, but at a mark-up.

Thankfully, there are two other colognes recently discovered that I enjoy more, and both are by Dunhill: Agar Wood and Egyptian Smoke. I favor the former, but the latter is nice for a change of pace or for a particularly humid summer's night.

But for most purposes, I rely on Varvatos's Vintage scent. It's just a standard dad cologne, but done fairly well. For going to the office, it's what I use.

Allow me to recommend Gabels Bay Rum. It's pleasantly fragrant, long-lasting, and it's inexpensive; an ideal combination.

Musk as a rule.

I loved the original (read Schulton) Old Spice. The current version is a pitiful far cry from it, and smells more like a Grandma purfume.

I'm a Old Spice kinda fella. My wife can't stand it. Now she gets eau de tobacco.

I can't stand the smells of their new line. I'll make my own eau de toilette with egyptian musk.

I already spend enough money to smell like the real thing.

I try to mask my scent with an animal musk that might attract moose, bear, or whatever I'm trying to photograph. I don't expend effort to mask my scent around humans. If I've missed a shower for too long a period and, am headed out to dinner, I might use a bay rum of some sort. One must sometimes consider the sensibilities of the wait staff.
