Aftershave and cologne advice

Given how many members on AJB know about fashion, and
Men's grooming. I was hoping for a few tips on aftershave.
Something not too expensive, one for working hours and
One for nights out etc ? Perhaps one expensive one for
Special occasions, or when I get lucky :D

I have used the 007 range for ages but fancy a change, I have
Recently tried David Beckham's " Beyond " which I did like, not
Overly strong, and not too sweet smelling.

    I use a few from Tom Ford tabbacco vanille being my favourite, but that's more a winter one, along with oud wood and noir de noir. For warmer weather I use neroli portofino. As these are pricey I use izzy miyaki as a daily, it's light and fresh and not expensive, I also wear paco rabanne millons for daily evening. The Tom ford scents I save for occasions and they last me for years.

    Thanks Chris, I'm hoping to try a few over the coming weeks.
    To try and get one everyday scent and One for relaxation.
    I have been told that Armani code is a good standard ?

    I like the DKNY range, which I've been using because I thought they didn't test on animals. Now they say they test on animals when required by law, which is disappointing.

    I used to be a big fan of armani aftershaves, but I've not sampled code. But I've never disliked any armani scent.
    Of course scents smell different on different people and to different people, I like a touch of bergemot and citrus in scents for the summer, where as tong bean, tabbacco and vanilla floats my boat for autumn winter.

    That’s the first woman that I’ve seen that likes #89, most say it smells like old mans cologne. Although they have changed it a few years back. I use JF, I switched to Elite in 99, then back to JF until about 2004 and used Santal until 2012. Back on JF.

    Actually, I like when my husband uses Floris #89 :)) I bought his cologne back in 2014, I don't have an older one, so I can't compare. But, I think with all cologne (and perfumes) it depends on your body chemistry as the same fragrance won't smell the same on each person.

    They could call it Floris OF&U, I can just see the marketing guys getting their teeth into the campaign now :D

    TP we all have totally different tastes. Best thing is to try loads, try a different one every day. Bear in mind each scent changes when it’s in your skin and changes again after a short period of time so you have to give it a while. I would hesitate before recommending Minigeff’s eau de cologne of choices though :o

    I'm a big Jo Malone fan , for everyday use they seem to cover all bases , and also Jo didn't live far from me in her early days so I like to buy her smellies, Their gift wrapping is superb , but I have a selection of Dunhill and Tom Ford and Mont Blanc ( I like their bottles) but my all time favourite bottle design and content is Trumpers Marlborough
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    I've been using Nautica Voyage for the last few years. It's not too expensive, it smells good, and the ladies seem to like it.

    Do women really like the smell of cologne and aftershave? I always thought if you kept your clothes and yourself clean your natural pheromones would attract ladies?
    Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

    You'd have to put that question to our lovely lady agents here , I don't know if a bloke could answer that , but generally Mrs AS buys my smellies I don't have a lot of say in it , but I do Like what she buys me .so as long as she is happy job done

    I don't think the only purpose of cologne it to attract people. If
    It helps an individual feel good/ better , more confident ? :)
