Name Any Scent, And Describe The Type Of Person Who'd Wear It

post #1 of 51

Thread Starter 
Title says it all....and really open ended. You can go as much into detail as you please. You can also describe a certain situation and what scent would be apporiate for that.

I'll start;

Kyoto: Someone who parties like a rock star to the wee hours in the morning. I personally think the scent itself smells like my clothes after a night out. Mostly because it's smoky.

Now you!

Royal Copenhagen (original)

Scandinavian or Dutch male, mid-fifties, spent his youth in the merchant navy and is now the captain or first mate of his ship. An attractively greying blonde, nice crinkles around the eyes from laughter and weather. A steady, introspective man ....... with a gal (or a guy) in every port.

LMAO, pure comedy gold, and so true. Jon Gosselin is usually the first person who comes to mind when I think of Ed Hardy, but I can definitely imagine the guy in the photo's Ed Hardy clashing with his date's Victoria's Secret Love Spell.

Hee hee, glad you guys are enjoying the pics. I must credit the fine site Http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com for the rich bonanza of content. The incredibly tan guys have been a source of wonder and amazement for some time now. The pics are all from a prom, I think. Search for "Oompa Prompa" if you want more fun.

YES! HA! I remember that show, I recall it was called the "Blue Steel" pose.


Edit: To contribute to the topic, I can see Eau Sauvage being worn by someone - who's worked really hard for the most part of his life, and is now enjoying his later years - on a nice warm and sunny day, having a casual game of golf.

I was one of those '70's kids with a giant long-hair comb-over that stuck out to one side like a lopsided version of the sphinx, so I can't talk too much, but...

These spray tans ought to be illegal. I was under the impression that they, like, worked. OMG. Still in shock.

Mysticknot- Jicky all the way
Monsieur Guerlain- see name
The Good Life- any EdC in exclusive, NON-4711style or any vaulted vintage, hard-to-get Creed (probably that kind of EdC or Creed which will become a favorite of auction houses like Southeby's or Christies)
Mario Justiniani- welcome the the world of (preferably 80's) powerhouse
Kumquat- anything by Amouage
Naed_Nitram- most likely wearing something with niche feeling, yet somehow avoiding the snobbery of niche and finding frags with niche style among designer scents
My pal Inamoramento- his beloved Envy or something very experimental and intricate Series by CdG
My buddy Vdxxxl- Very Irresistible, Rochas Man, Burrbery London
Dr. Rudi, Dr Creed- Creed & Knize
