Which scent for AFTER a workout?

I usually weight train intensely before showering and heading off to university classes. Which scents would give me relaxing and therapeutic feeling? I'm thinking Body Kouros, but would like more choices. Any suggestions?

Yeah, I read your thread but didn't want to hijack it. Let me know if you ever find out any.

Me too, but have no suggestions. What makes you feel relaxed in a fresh kind of way? I'm thinking maybe something with lavender. It is certainly relaxing, but I find it has a pleasantly astringent aspect that wouldn't feel too cloying after a good workout. I find vanilla and amber and incense relaxing as well, but those scents would be too heavy and 'close' after a workout, IMO. Let me know if you discover something good. I may actually get myself to the gym one of these days!

I have two favorites for after a workout. Gris Clair by Serge Lutens, and Eau de Cartier Concentree.

I agree with Linnea on the Eau de Cartier - this is fresh and sparkling - I think they also make a "relax" version.

I like to use Eau Dynamissante (sp) which is listed as male/female. As a female this is the closest I get to cologne style.

Whatever your SOTD is. Generally though, I like to wear fresh/citrusy scents after a long workout on weekends. I like: Lorezno Villoresi's Uomo or Dior's Eau Sauvage.

Try Iceberg Twice, starts cool minty sweet and developes nicely for the rest of the day.

It looks like citrus will be ideal for workout days. I'll have to find something to alternate with also since I can't wear citrus 5 days a week.
