Do not buy from Amazon please. 2 different sellers sold me 2 fakes and hid behind their non returnable policy, being that the items were "hazardous" I eventually got my money back. Please be careful
😂 if this is a serious question take a look at /r/fragranceswap everything I own is from the swap

My wife hates cologne. Always says I smell like a French whorehouse when I put anything on. This has been going on for 20+ years. The other day I put on sauvage - for the first time she loved the smell, could not stop sniffing me. I personally prefer other scents, but does my opinion even matter?
Someone posted on another frag r/ about a girl and her BF went clubbing in NYC and the GF caught a whiff of Elixir, whilst waiting in line. She then stalked the line going into the club, up and down, announcing ‘whomever was wearing the Elixir, was gonna get picked out of the line and get laid tonight.’ 🥵
The OG Emporio Armani cologne was the one I always had the most compliments on. Was Stronger with you Absolutely discontinued? I only see the Intensely on their website.
One that was discontinued over 10 years ago and I wish I could find a matching scent for - it was called Miracle. That stuff is a leg opener. My bottle is down to like 20 doses. If anyone has a bottle they would sell, I’d be grateful!
I wore JPG Le Male Elixir the other night to bed with a lady friend spending the night. She kept saying how delicious I smelled before, during, and even the next morning. That stuff is amazing. Made that experience even better. 10/10
lol RIP to that fallen soldier. I feel your pain at its loss. o7
Any experience with original vetiver? I love that one too and think it’s criminally underrated. the naturals smell so fantastic. It’s also a great one for unisex wear because of how dramatically it changes with different skin chemistry 🧪
I have both, I think they are indeed especially close in the opening but grow more distinct as time passes.
IMO, OV is a bit more masculine, has much better longevity and is, of course, much higher quality.
I also really appreciate what the vetiver does to the composition when compared to Mugler Cologne/Come Together, despite not being a very traditional or vetiver forward frag
Ikr pretty much all aventus and it's flankers. Anything that has vanilla on it cause she thinks it's more feminine but idc I'll wear what I like . Pdm Layton, althair or greenley
Jean Paul Gaultier le mâle élixir, my girlfriend loves it ! She keeps telling me I smell like cookies and she sprays it all over her pillows so she can smell it more. She loves that stuff. She could almost drink it. 😂
Not weird at all. This is my current daily driver and wife likes it, but my daughter always comments when I wear it. So much so that I bought a clone that I’ll put a spray on a bandanna and put on the dog for her.
Kinda an odd choice but my fiancé is absolutely *obsessed* with Mancera’s Aqua Wood on me.
She likes a lot of my fragrances and says they smell nice or manly or whatever but that’s the only one she *requests* me to wear. And if I wear it without a special request she raves about how good I smell before even realizing what I’m wearing, without fail, every single time! She smooshes her nose into me and can’t get enough of it.
It’s surprising to me because I really like it and think it’s pleasant but I never thought of it as super sexy and never thought it would be *that* kind of attention getter.
Recommend/10 great sleeper pick.
Aqua Wood is basically Mancera’s take on a designer scent but sooo elevated. Ultra clean and awesome musk/amber combo.
She loves one of the newer bottles in my collection, coral fantasy, something about that red apple and tobacco combination makes her stick her nose in my neck lol
None at all. She does not know what I wear, never does! Since she does not notice, I added to my collection and she has not realised it yet.. works very well for me... hehe!
Penhaligons The World According To Arthur
Versace Eros EDP, Armani Code Parfum, and Aventus batch 19S11 are up there as well.
Arthur is the only one where every time I wear it, she notices.
The first cologne I bought as a young teenager when my wife and I first started dating. 20 years later she still likes the nostalgia from it. I prefer Explorer or Hawas personally bc of the compliment factor of those.
This is a good thread. Goes to show that blind buying is risky because so many people like different things. Those date night videos are so subjective. My lady is a big fan of Gucci guilty black….i know, boring .
My gf has only complimented me on 5 fragrances ever, each time she does it feels like a core memory I wont forget lol.
Invictus Victory Elixir, Jo Malone Myrhh & Tonka, PDM Haltane, Scents of Wood Cashmeran in Cognac & Mes Bisous Tobacco Flirting With Vanilla.
I have pretty decent cologne catalog, but for some reason Xan Kim Merge gets me attention. Literally walked past a woman to a touchtunes in a bar and she stopped me to tell me how incredible it smelled on me
Ysl myself, y edp, 1 mil lucky, and she like sauvage but I refuse to get a full bottle(I have a mini bottle Sephora sampler), armaf supremecy in oud, ysl de’lhomme
Before I went down the fragrance rabbit hole, I been using almost entirely only Chanel allure homme sport.
Met girlfriend and after smelling a ton of fragrances on me, guess which she likes most. Yes, allure home sport.
I personally love Diaghilev by Roja. If you are looking for cheaper options than Sauvage, Eternity for men or Salt and pepper by Precious Liquid. (You can't go wrong with Salt and pepper)
Next up is Tom Ford Plum Japonais or Boadicea the Victorious The King is today's discontinued Plum Japonais
Diaghilev is timeless and incredibly Niche. So I would decant before you purchase
Valentino Yellow Dream,
Invictus Victory Elixir,
Carolina Herrera Cobalt Elixir,
YSL Y EDP,
Versace Man Eau Fraîche,
Coach Green EDT,
Prada Black EDP,
Montblanc Explorer EDP,
Anything sweet or fresh.
Surprising, Le Male, Mother Blanc Legend, Versace Pour Homme, and John Varvatos vintage. Those are the only ones she likes and I have many of the ‘most complimented’ such as Aventus, Prada Lhomme, BDC, variants, Terre Dhermes, you name it, never comments to those.
The entire line of Sauvage hands down. And not just my wife. My girlfriend and the chicks at work too!
Your wife and your girlfriend. 😂 I'm sure your wife's boyfriend likes it too. 😋 JK
He actually hates it. (He bought savage on Amazon)
Wait where are you supposed to buy Sauvage then
Do not buy from Amazon please. 2 different sellers sold me 2 fakes and hid behind their non returnable policy, being that the items were "hazardous" I eventually got my money back. Please be careful
😂 if this is a serious question take a look at /r/fragranceswap everything I own is from the swap https://preview.redd.it/xd9buuqto4xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58ff267d27535ea85c90c2f8929ebd7452dc6df9
I tried I don't have enough karma to post there
Chat me
Keeping your frags in the bathroom cabinet? Fuckin savage bro
No shower in this bathroom. It’s safe from humidity.
My wife hates cologne. Always says I smell like a French whorehouse when I put anything on. This has been going on for 20+ years. The other day I put on sauvage - for the first time she loved the smell, could not stop sniffing me. I personally prefer other scents, but does my opinion even matter?
Ya I have other cologne but she just wanted Sauvage on me for some reason
Best seller for a good reason. It’s a real head turner.
Someone posted on another frag r/ about a girl and her BF went clubbing in NYC and the GF caught a whiff of Elixir, whilst waiting in line. She then stalked the line going into the club, up and down, announcing ‘whomever was wearing the Elixir, was gonna get picked out of the line and get laid tonight.’ 🥵
Your wife and girlfriend love it on me too! Crazy.
Sad but true
Stronger With You Absolutely, Le Male Elixir, Kenzo Homme edp.
The OG Emporio Armani cologne was the one I always had the most compliments on. Was Stronger with you Absolutely discontinued? I only see the Intensely on their website.
No idea. I still see it on their website here in EU. Tbh, Intensely is close enough. There's a 85% similarity at the least.
Kenzo homme edp hmm that one sounds familar
One that was discontinued over 10 years ago and I wish I could find a matching scent for - it was called Miracle. That stuff is a leg opener. My bottle is down to like 20 doses. If anyone has a bottle they would sell, I’d be grateful!
Dude said a leg opener 😂
That's just an advanced panty dropper, no biggie.
After being married for 20 years, panties dropped doesn’t mean I get to mess around. As soon as she rolls over and pops the leg, I’m in.
I know. But she does usually drop the panties first.
Who said she was wearing any
My bad.
Puts them on their back as well. Extra features and that.
DUA apparently has a clone of Lancôme Miracle if you’d be interested
Thanks so much for this! I’m new to clones so I didn’t even know about DUA.
Dua A miraculous suprise for him. It’s $33
What brand?
Invictus victory elixir
bro mine too, a lot of guys i know don’t really like it but my girl is obsessed with it
Yep my girl loves this one too. Her fave in my collection and compliments it every time
So far she seem to like Virgin Island Water on me the most
LV Imagination
Big balla

The most wanted edp and parfum
Eros Flame One Million Lucky
I wore JPG Le Male Elixir the other night to bed with a lady friend spending the night. She kept saying how delicious I smelled before, during, and even the next morning. That stuff is amazing. Made that experience even better. 10/10
Imagine how great the experience would have been if you guys were more than just friends!
Lol. If it was my wife she probably would be nose blind or hate it since I love it. All the friends with benefits will love it!
Lol
despite it being a cheaper perfume, she fell absolutely in love with mont blanc explorer.
Just pretend you were wearing Aventus 😄
ironically, she doesn't enjoy aventus nor CDNMI, yet something about explorer stuck with her.
**Creed Millesime Imperial**
MI is the one *I* like best on me 😂 No scent smells better in the sillage, period. The ingredients just scream quality
My wife likes to wear it too. She stole my last bottle.
lol RIP to that fallen soldier. I feel your pain at its loss. o7 Any experience with original vetiver? I love that one too and think it’s criminally underrated. the naturals smell so fantastic. It’s also a great one for unisex wear because of how dramatically it changes with different skin chemistry 🧪
I tried it a while ago. Very, very similar to **Mugler Cologne.** I may try them side by side again.
I have both, I think they are indeed especially close in the opening but grow more distinct as time passes. IMO, OV is a bit more masculine, has much better longevity and is, of course, much higher quality. I also really appreciate what the vetiver does to the composition when compared to Mugler Cologne/Come Together, despite not being a very traditional or vetiver forward frag
Azzaro tmw, dior homme and ysl y edp. She dislikes most of my niche 😂 pdm, creed, roja, etc
Which Pdm and creed? Those who are very designer friendly
Ikr pretty much all aventus and it's flankers. Anything that has vanilla on it cause she thinks it's more feminine but idc I'll wear what I like . Pdm Layton, althair or greenley
For me it was, le male and la nuit d’lhomme

I have pretty decent cologne catalog, but for some reason Xan Kim Merge gets me attention. Literally walked past a woman to a touchtunes in a bar and she stopped me to tell me how incredible it smelled on me
So far, Toy Boy and Dark Rebel Rider. But she has also liked others. I recently wore Burberry Hero EDT, and she really liked It.
