Hi girls, just wondering this little question that Iâm thinking of.

If you are going to buy a fragrance for your man, what will it be? It doesn't have to be sexy or anything, just a good smell that u can bare with for a long time, like a lifetime. What will that scent be? Also, what type of notes will it be in that scent?

I know I am such a bother, so I apologize.

Thanks a million girls, u guys are the best!

When hub wanted another scent to have some variety (he already had goste) he asked me to pick some candidates for him to try. The first pair I asked him to try were Habit Rouge and M7, he picked M7. It was as simple as that! ;D

I'm partial to Orientals like goste, M7, Japur Homme, Habit Rouge (vintage), Caron Pour un Homme, Obsession for Men... but I find scents with woods and vetiver notes very masculine and attractive on the right guy.

I'm afraid this wasn't much help but good luck for the search!

So many really. I could spend a lifetime with Yatagan, Caron Pour un Homme, Mouchoir de Monsieur, Coriolan, Aramis, Third Man, Black Vetyver Cafe, Ambre Precieux, Heritage, Habit Rouge, Devin, Lauder for Men, The Baron.... to name a few. I might add Kouros to that list -- I just discovered it recently. And I've still got a lot of men's samples to go through...

The same rules apply for when a man is buying a scent for a woman. Find out what scents he likes to wear, ie what perfume family and notes that are in his favourites by checking the Basenotes directory. Then, buy something that is similar.

I just love Le Male- on the right chemistry it's gorgeous. Opium pour Homme I could easily live with for the rest of my life. Must de Cartier pour Homme is another one I crave on the right man. Orientals obviously don't work on everyone though. I had one old boyfriend who smelled like a million bucks when he wore the green, chypre-ish Polo.
