For years I have depended on birthday and Christmas presents for all my aftershave and fragrance requirements ,but my stock is getting low so I have decided to buy myself a bottle of smelly for those special nights out .Having no experience with buying mens fragrance I’m looking for some suggestions, and I’d to hear from some of the Ladies on the forum as to what is the fragrance they like the man in their life to wear?

My favorite would be Armani’s Acqua Di Gio which has a nice clean fresh scent. Only problem with it is that it is incredibly common & popular. Before that, I used CK One regularly. When I ran out of my bottle of Acqua Di Gio recently, I picked up Armani’s Diamonds For Men & Armani’s Code which I both like. I tend to like the cool fresh scents as opposed to the more musky types. It’s probably not an accident that I really like the Armani scents.
an’ I’ve been tryin’ to not smell 
I am an old hippie. I am required by law to wear patchouli. One of the perks is that middle aged ladies that I do not even know regularly come up to me, intrude into my body space without even asking, and smell me like they are trying to vacuum off a layer of my skin. Then, they look off into the distance, stand quietly for awhile and then either say, “I love patchouli.” or they say, “I know that smell.” think about it for awhile longer then say “Ooops.” or wait for me to say “It’s patchouli and you just busted yourself out.” Then we have a good laugh.
I wear whatever my wife tells me to wear, but I will say that patchouli is one of the most disgusting fragrances discovered by man and should be banned world wide.
Fact is you should wear fragrances your lady likes that you can tolerant or better. Nothing worse than spending time with someone who wears a fragrance that makes you ill. Shop for something together.
I totally love patchouli, but then I would 
But not on a guy. That would be weird.
That is one of my favorite as well.
I was raised around hippies, and I hate that smell. It reminds me of hairy armpits.
My favorite is an oil based, and it is call Creed’s Irish Tweed. It lasts a long time, and everyone who smells it thinks it is fantastic.
This gal’s viewpoint is-
NO FAKE SMELLY STUFF. 
We should be the only ones to get to wear the “fumes” 
Really, I’d much rather smell a guy that smells like a MAN, not some bottle of perfumy cologne stuff someone concocted. 
If he’s just gotten out of the shower and the smell is soap that’s good. If he’s just come in out of the field from puttin’ up hay or in from a long day at work..he smells like a workin’ man- that’s good too 
horse barn smell= wonderful!!!
My favorite now for at least 20 years - Green Water by Jacques Fath. It’s an old one, been around since the 40’s I think I read somewhere. It might not be easy to find, but definately worth a try.

Mennon Speed Stick.
That’ll work. 
Siiiggghhh… 
Yeah…what she said… 
“man”… I hate after shaves, cologne, and highly odiferous ‘de’-odorants. I prefer unscented d-o added to essence of man… preferably my man.
And here I thought BO was a bad thing.
Oh… not if the shower is big enough for two! 
That’s me. Original Scent. For the past 30 years.
I have an incredibly sensitive olfactory sense. I’m easily nasaly offended.
I like normal natural scents - Women should smell like women – not like flowers.
And men should smell like men (clean men), and not – whatever stinkiness they try to tell us a man should smell like.
I get headaches walking past candle shops in the mall. I require our household scented candles to remain covered at all times when not being used. It’s a minor cave to the wife to have them in the house at all.
I’m partial to good old Ivory Soap. If I’m in the mountains for a long time and get too gamey, I’ve been known to rub myself with sagebrush or roll around in a patch of wild mint.
By that’s just for special occasions.

Pine Tar soap, nothing smells as fresh as a guy or gal who has been sitting in campfire smoke for a week or more, keeps the varmints at bay too. The only way to get that fresh scent at home is Pine Tar soap, yup.
I even stopped my wive wearing patchouli - it gave me such a horrible headache… If I were to wear it, I’d get sick…
I personally like Acqua di Gio as well, even more Jil Sander for Men. But the basic scent of every human being is just so different, that something going well with one person might smell awfull on someone else. Something making me veeery carefull about frangrances as gifts.
I like the faint smell of armpit after a good long walk or some digging. I will not use deodorant or perfumed soap of any kind. I prefer to stink normally than to stink differently. A quick shower once (or twice if I’m going out) a day is all it takes. All perfume smells cheap and nasty to me, and I can’t bear those perfume sections in department stores that you’re forced to walk through to get to the beer glass display. After the banking industry, the two biggest cons on the planet are pawnography and “the beauty industry.” And jazz. And Bob Dylan. Especially Bob Dylan.
