Help - Recommend fragrance for boyfriend?

Hmm. What do boyfriends wear? Good question

Damn! counts me out
I like funky-skanky-musty-pimpish-spicey-sweaty frags
some of my favorites ;D

Get him something you like,he will probably like that

How about Christian Lacroix Tumulte?
It's modern yet different from the usual aquatics.
While I prefer Diptyque Tam Dao, I think Tumulte is lighter and more versatile in a small collection.

Another unique fresh scent is L'Artisan Navegar - pepper, cedar, lime, anice.
Navegar smells best on a scorching hot humid day.

Accessible, modern and memorable? Gosh, hes high maintenance, get rid of him ;p
I hate to recommend but for my comment, I suspect that Im obliged.

TEST FIRST!!

I don't know what Polo Sport smells like that but is a good start. He must like citrusy-fresh smelling fragrances? You could start him with Annick Goutal's L'Hadrian, Lorenzo Villoresi's L'Uomo or Frederic Malle's Cologne Bigarade

He might like Yohji Homme.

I agree. I've picked out scents for my boyfriend for the last four years and I have two criteria: I must like it and it must suit him. He has loved everything I've ever gotten him, except for one thing (Crave; but I should've known better. Before I bought it, he had seen it in a magazine and said it looked cheap and he probably wouldn't wear it. I thought I could change his mind. Nope--we finally passed it off to his dad after about a year.)

You might want to start by sniffing other Polo scents since you know he likes one of them. My boyfriend tends to like scents from the same fragrance house, i.e., he has multiple Issey Miyake, Burberry and Creed frags. He likes Polo too, especially Polo Blue, but we were both really disappointed with the staying power of Polo Blue, so I haven't bought him any other Polo frags since. He likes Polo Black quite a bit, but I haven't purchased that for him yet.

So, if I were you, I would just test a few different ones and pick a favorite. If you have the extra money, maybe pick two. When I met my boyfriend, he only had one fragrance--Gucci Envy. At the time I knew nothing about men's cologne (other than I remembered I liked to make out with boys that wore Cool Water when I was 17), but I felt because I was such a fragrance whore that he should be too. After a couple of months of dating, I headed to Saks and chose two colognes based solely on the fact that I liked them. He loved them both and loved the fact that I spent a lot of time (the better part of an afternoon) looking for the perfect scents to give him. So, I think your boyfriend will appreciate that it is a scent you find attractive and that you picked it out just for him. I'm sure you know your boyfriend well enough to guess what scents he might find repulsive.

Good luck!

(btw, those first two scents I got for my boyfriend were Thierry Mugler cologne and Issey Miyake summer edition 2002)

I had 3 different women tell me (in the same day) that Lolita Lempicka for men smelled OUTSTANDING on me.
just a thought.

I wouldn't qualify Bois Du Portugal as easily accesible because it's quite strong and pronounced. But if he does like it, you've got yourself a classy-smelling boyfriend!

For something all-season, non-offensive you could try Dior Homme (which just won numerous awards), Green Irish Tweed (a lot of fans and therefore also reviews and reading material about this one on the board), D&G pour Homme or Live Jazz.

Good luck on your quest!

You can't go wrong w/ Mugler cologne or Gendarme.

Bvlgari ~ Aqva
Carthusia ~ Uomo
Herrera ~ Aqua

You might check out Romance Silver Men by Ralph Lauren (2003) as it is one of my favorite RL frags. I don't agree with some of the recent reviews in the directory so be sure to read all the reviews for this fragrance.

Azzaro Visit or D'Orsay Nomade ... they're both kind of half-way between the fresh scents your BF enjoys and the Creed BdP that you like and are very good scents in their own right.

Caron L'Anarchiste

Ultramodern yet classy. Linear and uncomplicated, yet deep enough to make an impact.
