fokker4me Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 As long as they work with your body a few of my favorites are: CK One Shock- very spicy and slightly sweet D&G the one Mont Blanc Presence- pretty unique and more popular with europeans not so much in the states Acqua di Colonia by Santa Maria Novella. They offer a host of scents suttle but unique and on of the oldest makers in the world out of Italy. I really like the Tobacco Tuscano. Guess Suede just like it sounds like it would smell. AMen Angel for men. More of a winter scent and may be to strong for some but will last for 10+ hours. It has notes of chocolate spice. pretty unique And my all time favorite is Clive Christian "C" for men. Very strong and nothing smell like it. It may be harder to find but it is avail you should have a smell and decide. None of these fit into the fresh scents that there are so many of on the market. for that I wear Davidoff Echo It is very light.All of the above are unique and you will not "smell yourself" walking by.
cckandb24 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 One that hasn't been mentioned and is one of my faves is Joop. Light sweet scent. Not a fan of smelling like a musky Tree.
AverageJoe83 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Had to read this thread after the mention in the review. I find it curious though, quite a few people that manliness bashed for pedicures go around splashing themselves swith perfume! This one especially takes the cake, all in good fun of course, to each their own. Chanel Egoiste Platinum. I myself prefer the cleanliness and unscented hypoallergenic deoderant route(And usually spilled beer)!
dicko Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 This threads hit the big time fellas, get into it Kenny! Tried D&G The One (on my ex girlfriends suggestion which is probably not a good start lol) and Allure Sport, both pretty good everydays I reckon. Tried the issy miyake as well, bit too floral for me.

This one especially takes the cake, all in good fun of course, to each their own. I myself prefer the cleanliness and unscented hypoallergenic deoderant route(And usually spilled beer)! Apples and oranges, eh? There's a pretty big difference between occasionally wearing a cologne (or whatever the hell you want to call it) and getting one's feet daintyfied. And "splashing?" Who does that? You're not supposed to bathe in the stuff. And not sure why Chanel is so bad. Not like I'm wearing No.5 or something. You do know there's a difference between men's and women's fragrances, right? I'm pretty sure the same can't be said for pedicures. LOL Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2.
ramon_cojones Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Completely agree with the irony of chanel and disliking pedicures. I hope you do realize that gender targeting is specifically an act of marketing, two hundred years ago perfume was perfume and men wore tights. A good thing some of you guys didn't live in that era LOL!!
ZinZan Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 On the more expensive side are Frederic Malle and NK Francis Kurdjan. I've sampled Francis Kurdjan very nice, very expensive. I'm targeting Penhaligon for afterhave.

ramon_cojones Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 ^exactly Try penhaligon's blenheim bouquet, very nice though I don't wear it (used to use the deodorant).

A good thing some of you guys didn't live in that era LOL!! Who was wearing tights 200 years ago... In the 1800s? 1600s perhaps. But regardless, tights and wigs were the style at the time. It is not currently. Maybe 200 years ago all the men were getting pedicures, but it's a destinctly feminine activity today. Fragrances have apparently survived for both genders, while tights are generally reserved for the ladies. So... Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2.
ramon_cojones Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I guarantee you'd be wearing tights two hundred years ago too and how do you feel about your founding fathers who drafted your right to bear arms all wearing perfume and tights?
ptrthgr8 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I guarantee you'd be wearing tights two hundred years ago too and how do you feel about your founding fathers who drafted your right to bear arms all wearing perfume and tights? They weren't wearing tights in 1776. But whatever. If I had been alive back then I'm sure I'd have been wearing the clothing of that era. That's pretty obvious. I wouldn't be wearing jeans and a t-shirt. You're right. You got me. Again, the clothing of that era was from that era - it isn't still the style, so nobody wears it any longer. Men moved on to other styles. You can enjoy your pedicures all you want, but you'll never be able to convince me that it's not a girlie thing to do. It's okay if you like girlie things. I'm more of a libertarian than anything else, so I would gladly defend your right to do that. But that doesn't mean I don't think it's unmanly. Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2.
AverageJoe83 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Guys, Guys, you're taking this too sreiously. It's just a bit of fun, don't let it degrade into an arguement.
svivo Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 How did we get onto tights and pedicures? Have you tried the Bvlgari in the grey bottle Dicko?
Diamondog Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Unmanly? Regardless of what gender pedicures are associated with and they definately are for the most part associated with women, taking care of your body is of utmost importance for any gender....my feet surely could use a pedicure....am I rushing out to get one, no, would I brag to my buddies that I got one, probably not but one thing you can be assured of is, I would take great satisfaction knowing that I took the time to care for a much used and worn part of my body, and I can be about as manly of a man as a man can be Who cares what anyone thinks.... That being said....what do you boys like to smell on the ladies...I have always liked D&G Light Blue but something a little off track and is absolutely stunning on a woman is Hiris by Hermes...

khomeinist Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Machine Guns and Chanel Sounds like a great B movie. Kate Upton as female lead.

Smallclub Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I'm a bit surprised that no one mentioned Dior's Eau Sauvage, which is considered the most classic and timeless in France and probably elsewhere… Anyway, next thread: What color do you paint your toenails?

Agreed on Eau Sauvage, still have a bottle for old times sake but after almost 20 years of sparsley wearing it I thought it would be time for a change - still very much citrus/vetiver driven that is...
Strada Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Everyday is Ambre by Baldessarini Evening out is Havana by Aramis When I can steal samples Tuscany Leather by Tom Ford (too expensive for my blood)
