Nicest fragrance

Firstly; I want to get a 'summer' fragrance. I was thinking Fierce, as I really really like it but everyone seems to be wearing it these days. Any suggestions? Max €70 so it rules out Creeds etc.

The Bulgari Aqua summer fragrance is lovely, I also really like D&G Light Blue it's got a very subtle smell.

Started wearing Pi from Givency and it's so nice, friends seem to like having a little spray of it after the gym too so it must be a bit of a winner.

Cheers lads. Have D&G Light Blue alright, good summer fragrance. I'll look into Egoiste; hopefully Boots/Debenhams/BTs will have a tester.

Currently rotating;
Tom Ford - Noir
Hermés - Terre De Hermés
Chanel - Bleu De Chanel
DKNY - DKNY For Men (Work)
D&G - The One (Work)

Like them all but don't love any of them in particular. Terre is probably my favourite but it strikes me as an 'older' fragrance (I'm 25).

So hopefully Egoiste or something similar will be added to the line up soon.

I picked up a Mont Blanc one, that was similar to Fierce on the cheap before. I'll try and remember the name for you in a bit. Black bottle with a silver cap, anyway.

Doesn't last as long/isn't as strong, but it smells quite nice. Got it in Arnotts for under 30 quid, I think. Can't go wrong for that price, and I've been complimented on it a few times too.

Think it might be Mont Blanc Legend, actually.

Looking to get a summer fragrance with the parents going abroad next week they've kindly offered to pick a bottle up for me.

Thinking Bvlgari Man or Bvlgari Aqva - I had aqva light up until recently which I wasn't overly fond of - I had the original aqva before and thought that was a much nicer fragrance.

A strong scent without being overpowering is what I want - Bleu de Channel was something I wore quite a bit this time last year but thought it was a bit heavy for summer.

Think I saw here a recomendation for Aqua De Gio by Armani - must give that a look also.

Can't beat Clinique happy for men

What do you all think of Bleu de Chanel lads? I picked it up as present a while back and it has really grown on me. The longevity and projection is not as good as I hoped but it still gets quite a few compliments during the day.

Aye, it has gotten a few compliments alright. Projects well and good longevity for me.

Yes, yes you can.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport is still my favourite. I love my D&G one but Chanel is still up there.

At the moment... Uomo by Valentino.

Had a spray of this yesterday, was told by 2 people it smelled great on me, but it nearly made me gag, couldn't wait to wash it off. Anybody have any experience of it?

I picked up a bottle of Dior Homme at the weekend.
Lovely fresh clean smell without being overpowering.

Got a bottle of Calvin Klein, Encounter. Really nice.

I've been wearing this daily since I bought it and really loving it.

Someone got me Bleu de Chanel deodorant for my Birthday and I really like it!

I love the smell of Paco Rabanne aftershave on a man. In particular, the Millionare aftershave is absolutely gorgeous!

Where did you order this from and at what cost?

OldRio

Ordered off ebay.
Plenty of company's in the UK selling it.
It's only 3ml but it is an oil. Comes in a small bottle with a roller at the end.
It should last a good while.

With postage it cost about 8 euro.

Have a few favourites:

Dior Black (expensive and earthy)
jean Paul Gaultier Blue.. current favourite (have a few cans around)
My Go to is Prada Original (purple packaging)
Armani (green) fantastic fragrance doesnt last long

Ones that I just do not like (and have)
Issey Miaki
Million Paco Roban
4711... the original

D'Agger

Currently have the following:

Armani Code
Bvlgari Man
Issey Miaki Sport
212 NYC
Gucci Guilty

Covers all the bases I think. Bvlgari, Armani & Gucci would be for nights out or occasions as they're strong fragrances that last. 212 is one that I wear to work and is a bit citrus-y and sharp smelling, Issey Miaki used to do this but is almost gone, it being the sport it smell slightly different from the original and well suited for casual summer wear imo.

Liam McPoyle

The burd got me a bottle of Issey Miyake for my birthday, can't remember which one off the top of my head but it's pretty damn nice.

I'd have to go with Allure Homme Sport, it's probably one of the nicest aftershaves I ever bought. Expensive though, but worth it.

Can anyone make a few recommendations for a new eau de toilette, going to maybe buy two different ones? I more like citrus light scents like some listed below rather than really heavy woody scents... Some previous ones I have had (hoping to get something different) are:
Zegna Z Zegna, Cool Water, Channel Allure Homme Sport, Hugo Boss orange, Hugo Boss motion, Hugo Boss Just Different, Hugo Boss Just Men, Acqua Di Gio, Lacoste Pour Homme, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, Paca Rabanne Black XS

Favourites were: Hugo Boss Orange/ Just Men/ Boss Eau De Toilette/ Lacoste Pour Homme/ Paco Rabanne Black XS, Channel Allure Homme Sport (Scent didn’t last at all though, maybe 1.5-2 hours max).

Also, aside from above what are peoples current favourite fragrances? Might get two completely different ones. One matching some of the above criteria and one on a whim.

I have 212 NYC - ticks citrus and light, good summer fragrance imo

Thierry Mugler A*men is very distinctive and is great if you want to get noticed. It certainly is an acquired taste though as you say.
