Your safest, go-to, anytime, anywhere scent?

post #1 of 77
Thread Starter 
This is basically the opposite of the "fragrance you won't wear out of the house" thread. It got me to thinking about which scent I use when I'm concerned about not offending someone. For me it's GIT, I feel like it's appropriate in all situations.

I consider anything from my collection I wear safe, but I'll choose Siecle.

Gucci Pour Homme II and a new one that I'm trying out, Keiko Mecheri's Mulholland.

Sycomore for me, it works perfectly especially in the local hot and humid summers.

Two sprays of Mugler Cologne. Safe as houses, that stuff - it's the frag to wear when I can't decide which frag to wear.

It doesn't hurt that it smells wonderful, too.

Chanel Platinum Egoiste, Cartier Roadster, or Creed Green Irish Tweed

Eau des Baux for me; It's such an easy to wear scent.

Armani Eau Pour Homme. Warm or Cold weather, Formal or Jeans&T, it just works.

Everyone seems to like it too. The exact opposite of offensive.

34 Boulevard Saint Germain. Undeniably the most versatile perfume. No question about complexity. Floral, aromatic, spice-rich and resinous. It's not a projection banshee nor is it too soft. Just perfect.

I have quite a few that fall into that category, but probably the safest/most versatile in my collection are Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Creed Himalaya, and Hugo Element, and Bond No. 9 Chez Bond.
post #32 of 77
Probably vintage Monsieur de Givenchy is the safest in my wardrobe as it is easy to wear year-round and I can't really see anyone finding it offensive.
post #33 of 77
I'd consider my safest to be Bleu de Chanel

Angeliques Sous La Pluie

dior homme
post #37 of 77
Creed Original Vetiver, Gucci Pour Homme II, Creed Silver Mountain Water and Chanel Allure Homme Sport eau Extreme all fit the bill for me pretty well in this category.
post #38 of 77
Aventus, and no, I don't mean that in a fanboy sense. I really like Aventus, but I don't understand the hype at all. Aventus is ultra-safe. I don't smell anything in it that's the least bit challenging.

Tom Ford For Men comes in 2nd place. I actually purchased this one because it is so versatile and, dare I say, safe. I enjoy it and wish it had more edge, but then again, its versatility is through the roof.

Pour Monsieur by Chanel, Voyage by Hermes or Bang by Marc Jacobs.
post #40 of 77

I have quite a few that easily fall into this catagory. Off the top of my head I'd say:

Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa, Mugler Cologne, Blue de Chanel, Z Zegna, Zegna Colonia, Rive Gauche Pour Homme, L'Essence de Cerruti, Gucci Pour Homme II (except for its shit longevity!), M7 Fresh, Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label & Curve for Men.
