Christmas Scent for my Father

post #1 of 16

Thread Starter 
I need suggestions for a Christmas scent for my father. He likes natural scents, but they can not be too expensive because he tends to douse himself ($1 per ml is enough.) The two he wears all the time are Marc Jacobs Bang and Jo Malone Sweet Lime and Cedar. He likes Le Male, but since my Boyfriend wears it there is NO WAY I am getting it for my father!

Please and Thank you!

Natural scent makes me think about the Aveda Chakra, which are apparently organic. They're weaker than regular colognes, but they're cheap ($30 for 100ml), plus if your father douses himself, that might just work right.

Rive Gauche
Azzaro PH
John Varvatos Vintage
Dior Homme
L'Instant

All of these are under $1 per ml, and actually you can probably get two bottles of some of these for under $100. Rive Gauche and Azzaro are both fairly cheap online.

- Tommy Bahama (Original), and he can spray away with this one.

- PS by Paul Sebastian. It is one of the top sellers on almost every fragrance retail site. I recently discovered this one, and now I see why. It is kind of like a refined Old Spice. However, if he douses himself in this he's going to smell horrible. This one is 1-2 sprays maximum.

I'm sure many people will suggest Vetiver by Guerlain too. I haven't tried it, but it has very good reviews.

Comme des Garcons - Vettiveru is a great vetiver cologne type, is cheap and it lasts.

Encre Noire by Lalique - a gem of an earthy, woody scent with good projection and longevity ... reasonably priced as well for the excellent caliber ...
