Prada Amber pour Homme smells like a freshly washed dog to me.... in the best way though. Sorry to all Prada fans, I mean this in the best way! It's seriously a fav of mine.

In terms of something that will really smell like your "pugs" you might wanna try Dzing, which smells like a circus full of horses, in the best way, of course!

L'instant Cologne by Guerlain smells like you put your nose in a fresh opened 5 lbs bag of dry dog food to me. When I first smelled it it took me back to when I was about three and had the inquiry on how dog food tasted.

I think Kiehl's is about as puggish as you're going to get, frankly.

May we see pics of your pugs?

yeah i mean my dogs. my fiance hates how they smell. i won't wear the stinky perfume around her though. thanks for the serious suggestions guys!

i don't think i'm looking for washed dog smell though since they start to stink again only after a few hours after bathing them. i've heard l'artisan merchant loup smells like a washed dog though i haven't smelled it myself. i think it was in turin's the guide.

Kiehl's Musk is great, but if you want more orientalish vanilla than flowers with your musk, then Bal a Versailles is fantastic.

I've always thought that Jicky and especially Mouchoir de Monsieur had a 'wet dog' note in the heart.

Yes, Mechant Loup has a hazelnut accord that can come across as damp fur. I traded my bottle after getting this association. You may want to seek some out if this is what your after.

I had to laugh at some of the responses on this thread! L'Instant and dog food? REL = wet dog and urinal cakes? Keep em coming LOL

And +1 on seeing photos of the pug dogs - they're adorable!

This is true! I've always gotten a hint of freshly washed dog in this.

There's an aromachemical called Maritima that smells exactly like wet dog.
