Girls - what is the best mens aftershave?

Ok, so I need to invest in a few bottles of aftershave for the summer, I am thinking of either Boss Bottled, Bvlgari Aqva or Lacsote Blanc. Which to choose? Or any other personal favourites? Thanks!

Bvlgari:

L'Eau D'Issey - Issey Miyake*
Brit for Men - Burberry*
Man Eau Fraiche - Versace
Allure Homme Sport - Chanel*
Acqua Di Gio - Armani (if you don't mind wearing something lots of other people wear)
Mugler's Cologne - Thierry Mugler
Infusion d'Homme - Prada*

* = Personal favourite

There's 7 quality summer scents for you to look into, the last two are more soapy and the first 5 are a mix of florals, citrus, powder and woods. If you're buying it to please women it's best to go for something clean smelling, they love a man who just smells clean. Sweet things like 1 Million (I hate this, personally) and Joop Homme tend to get compliments from women but they just don't work in summer, they don't go well with the heat at all and are better for colder weather (unless it's at night). Infusion d'Homme is a long-lasting, high class soap smell, Mugler's Cologne a more affordable alternative but still high quality. Brit is actually supposed to be a cold weather scent but there is nothing cloying or overly sweet about it, perfect for summer imo.

Of the ones you listed I would probably go for Boss Bottled, especially if you're buying it blind. It's like apple pie and cinnamon together but also fresh and clean so it will work in summer, most people will like it. Next would be Bvlgari Aqva but that has a salt note that you might not like, a lot of people don't like it, so try it first. I don't like any of Lacoste's fragrances.

Check sites like www.cheapsmells.com , www.escentual.com and www.fragrancedirect.co.uk too as they have the best prices, Amazon is a little steep imo.

Good luck. :smile:

Between the 3 you quoted I prefer Boss.

But my favorite ever is Allure from Chanel (and for the summer you have a lighter flagrance)

Especially for summer, I would recommend the Hollister Co. aftershaves. As much as I'm not really a fan of the clothes, they do some of the best fragrances around and the mens' ones make me swoon haha. It's definitely my favourite. Hope that helps!

Boss Bottled and the Bulgari are both fine - but they're completely different. Go to a department store and have a test of both. You'll prefer one to the other. You may even walk out with both.

Boss Bottled is the only Hugo Boss fragrance worth bothering with. Along with various other 'brands', they target the lowest common denominator for mass consumption. Hence the name's popularity with teenage girls.

Hugo Boss, or Paco Rabanne - 1 million.

Both smell gorgeous on a man :smile:

I'd certainly be coming back for more

Versace pour homme! I guarantee you that girls everywhere will ask you what you're wearing.

Boss is gorgeous :smile:

(Not sure if it's still available or if you'd want to wear something by a football club, but if you want a cheaper version of it, Buy Liverpool FC's "L4 Men". Smells extremely similar, but cheaper.)

Also I don't know if it's just the packaging that's different, but the Captain America version of "Only the Brave" is nice too :smile:
