The scent of a man...

Gah not a huge fan of Axe...some of the scents are ok but some dudes don't realize they don't need to cover their entire bodies in it. lol
I personally would rather enjoy getting a sniff of a great scent when hugging, or sitting next to someone. If I'm standing 5 feet from you and can smell you...too much !!0 -
Does the smell of diesel fuel work? :smokin:0

When a man has a distinct scent, whether it be natural or his body wash or cologne, I melt.
Lets clarify though....a GOOD distinct scent! I've worked for multi-national companies for years and there are some countries where the distinct scent is BO, or BO mixed with cologne....gag! :sick:
The distinct scent I am speaking of is the one that can't be described. It almost smells like cologne but it's not...
haha...I know what you mean there though...my husband has one too, and its impossible to describe, but I love it!0 -

I've got a thing for 2-cycle motor oil smell. Mix that with a little marine varnish and I'm done 0 -
American Psycho- "I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion."
ha ha ha, yeah, that. seriously, it's a bit wrong when any man spends that much time on his beauty regime. men are supposed to brush their teeth, wack a bit of deodorant on and, out the door.0 -
No offense to anyone, but isnt axe more for the 16-20 year olds? Gotta go with the good stuff.0

How does a mix of Old Spice and Ben-Gay strike ya? ROFL! :laugh:
When I worked in an office, I wore Polo or Drakkar, sparingly applied.0 -

I know exactly what you mean and I cant describe it either! Its a get all up in their neck kind of yummy. le sigh
I dont like any of the spray colognes or perfumes. They smell like chemicals to me.0 -
According to my gf I have a vanilla-ish natural smell, wonder if it has something to do with my washing powder or soap?0
-
my opinion.... when i met the hubby he used lever 2000.. in the irish spring scent.. i absolutely loved that smell..... omg and anytime i smell it makes me think of him...... since then i have converted him to the way of b & bw (simply so i can still go there, its easier to get forgiveness for the amt if i buy him something too). The OAK body wash for men smells wonderful on him. I dont like colognes on him they are too heavy,, but the body wash is just the right amount and i love walking by the bathroom after he has left for work.. if i could put that scent on his pillow while he was away i would so i could still smell him as I go to sleep at night.
now for those who feel the need for me to smell you before I see you.. that is wrong. some people get it others dont. you should wear just enough so that when you walk by i get a scent, kinda like when you walk by the door of the coffee shop as it opens and you smell the yummy coffee then the scent is gone as the door closes.0 -
I've explained this before and I'll explain it again.
In the shower:
Body Wash: Canus Goat's Milk Soap
Shampoo/Conditioner: Garnier products
Facial Scrubs: St. Ives Apricot (once a week), Noxema
Shaving (The Art of Shaving Products):
Pre-Shave Lavender Oil
Lavender Essential Oil Shaving Cream [applied with Fine Badger Brush]
Lavender After-Shave Balm
Deodorant and Moisturizing:
Weleda Sage Deodorant Spray
Aveeno Body Lotion with SPF 15
Dental Hygiene:
Colgate Toothpaste
Dental Floss
Cologne:
John Varvatos or Ralph Lauren Double Black
A few take-away points from this:
1. Between the baby soap with goat's milk and the lavender shaving product, it's no secret that I have sensitive skin.
2. Most people wear too much cologne. The rule of thumb is that it should be worn daily, but only smelled by a lover.
3. Most people don't floss enough.
4. Shave with a straight razor. It's cathartic to dedicate half an hour to shaving your face and it always ends up looking better.
5. There is no such thing as a "masculine" or "feminine" scent. Aromas do not have gender...that's really all about marketing. Santa Maria Novella's Melograno or Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin may be marketed to women, but mix one of those into your cologne regime guys.
6. If you wear antiperspirant, you will sweat more.
7. Care about how you look. If you care about how you look, other people will notice.
Cheers.

best thing since sliced bread !!! 0 -
Love scents!! Omg!! But I do agree if the person puts just a tad over the top of it..I can't linger nearby..I will start a sneezing fest..:noway: And depends on whose wearing that particular cologne/perfume/spray... because the body chemicals can totally alter the scent of that particular smell...
If a scent goes by and I catch a whiff...I'm almost like the cartoon character... "Pepe Le Pew"... and 0 -
Believe it or not my body washes, face cleansers, colognes, lotions, et al tend to change as the seasons change. Fall/Winter usually means that I break out the "heavier" scents and oils (e.g. sandalwood, woodsy, musk) and in Spring/Summer I'll break out the lighter scents (citrus and grass). Some of my favorite colognes: Faconnable; Herrera; Drakkar, Grey Flannel, Paco Rabon and a lot of the traditional classic scents.
Nothing feminine at all about a man who takes good care of their face and skin. I do it all: face scrubs, masks, manicures, pedicures, lotions, shaving (old school hot towel w/straight edge or safety razor) and bubble baths complete with back scrubber and glass of wine. If you look good, you feel good.0 -

that's a smart idea!!! And my mother always says if you look good you feel good...and I totally believe it...0 -
I'm allergic to most perfumes & colognes. They make me sneeze or gag or both. :sad: I don't even use detergent that has perfume in it! I use All Free & Clear. No dryer sheets, just reusable dryer balls.
I prefer my Hubby's natural (clean) smell. He uses Old Spice products that don't set off my allergies. (So does my Dad & you know what they say about a woman marrying a man that has a lot of things in common with their father. Lol!) Love a good man smell! Natural or hard work smell like a mechanic or a good earthy smell like digging in the dirt after a good rain.
As for me, I don't wear any perfume or anything just Dove Ultimate deodorant in Smooth Cashmere.
I do make my own potpourri for the different seasons out of things that I know won't set off the allergies.0 -
I'll take the smell of leather, exhaust and 10 hours on the road anytime...0

I like my man to smell like leather and wood and hard work. MMMMMM
oh my yes...0 -
My hubster wears axe, but instead of spraying an X on his body he just puts one shot on his chest. It's also the citrus-y one, I think it's hard to go wrong with citrus unless you soak in a vat of it.0

No. I've always preferred men who smelled like engine grease and a run in the rain...
perfecto.
Lol, I use Irish Spring bodywash, the same deodorant..., and work outdoors in the weather. Sun, wind, and rain, with my natural smell and whatevers left of my soap pretty much covers me.
Except on weekends...which is usually when I preferred work on whatever Mustang project was close at hand. So then it would be oil, gasoline, old car leather, my natural smell, and whatevers left of my soap.
I guess I'm just low maintenance when it comes to that stuff lol.0 -
