    Was thinking if buying some cologne/aftershave but I never did before (i'm 15) and was wondering what brands are nice and what aren't and I don't want to spend a fortune buying aftershaves to find which is the nicest. Any tips is much appreciated :)

    It's all down to personal choice; best thing is to head into Boots/Debenhams etc. and try as many as possible. I think that Paco Robane 1 Million is really nice though, and even XBolt from Lidl (yes, Lidl!) is very nice and dirt cheap :)

    Would second the suggestion to try Boots. The Perfume Shop also always have specials. Personal selection here would be http://www.theperfumeshop.com/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=7199 at €21 but there are others less expensive.

    Oooohh! You don't need advice on what scent to wear. The best advice anyone can give you is 'Don't follow the crowd; let the crowd follow you'.:cool:

    ^^^^
    And if not following the crowd, please don't get Paco Rabanne 1 million.
    It's a nice enough smell, but it's overdone at this stage, try something different.
    You should walk into a boots or debenhams & try a little spray on yourself. Not on a tester card! You want to see how the scent reacts on your skin. Something that you think smells great on a card, may not smell good on you.
    A lot of the chanel ones are great, homme sport & blue esp. But they are pricey.
    A good budget one is Paul Smith Extreme,
    Viktor & Rolf have spice bomb, again, great smell, but maybe a bit old for you.
    Just try a couple, see what you like yourself

    Armani Mania is really nice, or Davidoff Cool Water. Hugo Boss too!

    As above it comes down to personal taste. Go into a chemists etc. and try a load of testers. Coming closer to Christmas they'll be flogging them left, right and center.
