Guerlain l'homme ideal eau de parfum Creed Aventus Ysl la nuit de l'homme eau de toilette
+1 for Aventus even though that one company made it too OP in the USA. Spice Bomb original is a good winter time EdT
Tried and loved it! I think I will go for this one!
Two days ago I was told by a female friend that Bleau is the most common scent among men.
Jake by Hollister
Hah I used to rock an obscene amount of american eagle cologne in high school by the same token
YSL l'odeur du vagin de ta maman
Seasonal signature scent
tom ford noir
Do you like it? I'm a Black Orchid fan myself.
It's brilliant. Wafts of aged wood with a very masculine and charred undertone. Ladies love it
Edit: totally forgot about this thread, looks like it aged well. tons of awesome recs
Tuscan leather for winter weekends, can’t really get away with it in the office.
I wear Tuscan Leather everywhere...... including the office. Never had any complaints
Mr. Burberry
Terre de Hermes
Tom Ford Noir is solid fall/winter
Santal 33 - Le Labo.
Le Labo is expensive but has a couple gems such as Bergamotte and Thé Noir.
Also tend not to like Tom Ford, but I hear their fragrances (esp. Portofino) are top tier.
I second the vote for Bergamotte and The Noir. Also a fan of Oud.
Santal 33 while nice seems so common now that I would personally skip it. The point of a fragrance is to subtly stand out.
Agreed on Santal - still smell it a lot on the streets...
pretty sure its only common in finance circles. I have never heard of someone outside finance speak about this fragnance. In addition to this, I think its common on Wall Street but relatively unknown in the City in London.
I would say Creed Aventus is very well known and common.
let me know if i’m wrong.
Bleu de Chanel
What
issy miyake
Le labo and creed aventus
Look into Maison Francis Kurkdjian for stuff that lasts longer throughout the night (only wear cologne when going out) - ladies love it
Amen, Thierry Mugler (perfume for winter season) Eau sauvage, Dior (Spring perfume) Terre d'Hermès, Hermès (spring /summer perfume)
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (winter)
Tom Ford Lost Cherry (spring/summer)
Creed Aventus I only use a small amount at a time, but I always get comments about how good I smell from someone that gets very close to me. Unfortunately its one of the priciest scents out there
Didn't know people had different cologne for different seasons, I got some learning to do.
What are some good recs for the winter? And what exactly do you look for in winter cologne?
amateur in this thing but let me explain it to you this way.
perfumes are chemical mixes. you spray on your hand and molecules react differently to heat. When its very hot, the perfume changes its smell. Heavy perfumes (eg something like Dior Homme Parfum which is discontinued and its my favorite) give off even stronger smell when its hot.
Spring/Summer perfumes are supposed to give off fresh vibes that are in line with general mood over these seasons and they are not supposed to suffocate you. You can use one perfume all year around but odds are it will smell differently when the weather changes or it may not fit.
i hope that makes sense. if it doesnt please explain it better
Dior Homme Intense
.
Bleu de Chanel Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Prada Luna Rossa Versace Eros
baie is great by le labo too- I alternate between the noir and baie. baie is a little lighter/ better for daytime or summer use and the noir is great for nights out
Jo Malone - wood sage and sea salt
For Men:
Frederic Malle French Lover by Pierre Bourdon Frederic Malle Bigarade by Jean-Claude Ellena Byredo Sunday Cologne
Tobacco Vanille of Tom Ford, love it
Jimmy Choo Man. Biddies love it
Got a couple I can recommend however these are on the pricier side also known as niche fragrances.
In terms of designers I have 4 winter must haves that are god tier imo and I get a huge amount of compliments with these.
I’m a fragrance enthusiast and have a huge collection (these were just my winter must have recommendations) let me know if you have any more questions I am a huge nerd with this stuff lol.
Can't go wrong with my starting five
