Girlfriend's Favorite

[kaizer121]

Guys, what are your girlfriends' favorite scents on you? I'm not talking about the fabled "panty-dropper," Just what the lady in your life likes you to smell like?

[dougczar]

My wife's favorites on me:

1) Aventus
2) Bleecker Street
3) Straight to Heaven
4) Turtle Vetiver Back
5) New Haarlem

[hednic]

My wife's favorite on me is Balafre by Lancome

[Jack Hunter]

Original Vetiver
Floris Santal

[Primrose]

Habit Rouge
Eau des Baux
Roberto Cavalli Man
Opium Pour Homme
Pour Un Homme

[Wheatstraw2]

Bulgari green tea

[kaizer121]

My wife's favorites on me:

1) Aventus
2) Bleecker Street
3) Straight to Heaven
4) Turtle Vetiver Back
5) New Haarlem

I gotta second Straight to Heaven. I refrained from giving my gf's since I wasn't quite sure but you reminded me of one of her (and my) favorites. Her top five would have to be:

1. Straight to Heaven
2. Armani Black Code
3. A&F Fierce (which I flatly refuse to wear)
4. Creed GIT
5. La Nuit Del'Homme

Luckily she hasn't had as much experience with GIT and La Nuit, so hopefully I can sway her opinion and knock the Abercrombie out of the list hahaha

[senore01]

Dior Homme Sport, Chanel Edition Blanche, Aventus.

[entadus]

Bvlgari pour homme Extreme

TF Grey Vetiver

Acqua di Gio
Bleu de Chanel

Musc ravageur (special occasions )

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

Gucci Pour Homme: loved by an ex who likes strong, manly men.
Gucci Pour Homme II: loved by an ex who is the quiet sexy librarian type.
Hanae Mori HM: loved by an ex who is fun and happy. HM is becoming my pick to wear on dates.

Overall though, the biggest compliment getters among women I've dated have been:
Curve: I suspect it's due to the musky base.
Lucky No. 6: Such an underrated scent. It's hard to not like this one.
L'Air du Desert Marocain: Specifically, I'm talking about the base it evolves into once you've been wearing it for 6+ hours. I easily get 18 hours of longevity from LDDM. I love the top, but it's the final stage that really gets me compliments.

I should also note that I've never gotten any positive unsolicited feedback from Aventus. When I asked for opinions, I was told "It's nice." I enjoy the stuff, but it's not something I wear on dates anymore.

[Ivan D' Great]

lets just say that the one she tolerates is Creed's Green Irish Tweed.

[timdoeswell]

Sycomore, Endymion and of course LIDGE.

I think the latter two appeal to many women as they have sweetness to them, but not tooth-achingly so, and still smell mature.

[Tappio]

Leather Oud is her favorite. Others include Pure Malt, Aventus, Dior Homme Intense and Rive Gauche.

[bleedredandblue]

Wife seems to like the clean stuff - Mugler Cologne and Erolfa were recent compliment-getters, as was Aventus (which is a funny paradox of fruity/clean + smoky to my nose).

Sadly, she's on the fence when it comes to one of my favorite notes - vetiver. She can pick it out pretty well, though it catches her as rather grapefruit-like (which I get and smell as well, but I also catch more of the earth/rootiness of it). I'm trying to ease her into it with some nice, airy ones like, as the name implies, KenzoAir

[Kielecki]

Aedes de Venustas

[aphexacid]

My finances favorites on me are:

1) Dreamer

2) MFK Oud

3) Aventus

4) Musc Ravageur

5) Silver Mountain Water


And then there's my all time favorite signature scent that I had to retire, Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme.
I could barely stomach the first reformulation. But the 2nd reform really put the nail in its coffin for me.

I have 2 almost full vintage bottles.

Every time I wear it nowadays, my fiancé says, "wow this brings me back to our youth".

I hope that when we're old and grey, and I spray a little on, she has the same feeling

[change1]

1. GIT
2. Bleu de Chanel
3. Chanel Platinum Egoiste
4. Creed MI
5. Chanel Allure Homme Sports

[fit&frag'd]

My wife's favorites thus far have been:

Creed Original Vetiver
Gucci Pour Homme II
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
Creed Aventus
The dry-down's of LIDGE & Rochas Man

[Darjeeling]

The wife prefers me scent free. She did say that Issey Miyake is kind of OK, but she'd still prefer me to wear nothing.

[knightowl]

Not even a speedo?

[kaizer121]

Not even a speedo?

Ahhh ^^^^^^ This guy

[DanielPlainview]

My last boyfriend really learned how to love:

Hammam Bouquet
Habit Rouge

But for some inexplainable reason, he kept asking me to wear Azzaro, even though I told him it had been destroyed by reformulation.

[CologneFan85]

L Nuit Gucci Guilty and A Mens.

[Johno]

Aventus
Chanel Bleu
Grey Vetiver

[HackerX]

MI
La Nuit de L'homme
Issey Miyake
Platinum Egoiste

[heperd]

Creed MI, DHS, Oud Ispahan, Bond #9 NY Oud, DHS. Most ouds are panty droppers. Squish.

[LoPsOrange]

Gucci Pour II
Tobacco Vanille
Italian Cypress(2hr after applying)
Speakeasy(need to get a bottle)
Les Zazous

[DaveStPaul]

Only two wifely comments ever -- once for Rive Gauche Pour Homme, and once for Sel de Vetiver. Two veeeery different frags. Both comments came at the end of the day, and clearly tied into her feelings that it had been a good day all around. I think the actual scent probably didn't matter.

The wife prefers me scent free. She did say that Issey Miyake is kind of OK, but she'd still prefer me to wear nothing.

Darjeeling's from Oz, so I believe the appropriate term is "banana hammock".

[taint it sweet]

Green Irish Tweed
Aventus
Rose 31
Memoir Man
Oud Wood
Tom Ford for Men
Windsor


She hates Tuscan Leather

[HAllen]

Tobacco Vanille is her favourite so far I think. Green Irish Tweed is a close second.

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

Most ouds are panty droppers.

That hasn't been my experience (not yet, anyway!), but I hope you're right. I only recently realized how much I love the smell of anything that contains black agar. I'm glad that spring has arrived, but I'll be looking forward to fall before summer even gets here. I love cool weather clothes and cool weather scents. And cool weather food, come to think of it. And cool weather drinks!!! ...and did I mention the smell of black agar? What a great smell.

for some inexplainable reason, he kept asking me to wear Azzaro, even though I told him it had been destroyed by reformulation.

People in the real world don't care about reformulation - especially if someone else is wearing the scent they're smelling. Why on earth would they?

Your Date: "This chocolate cake is delicious!!!"
You: "No, it's bad. They changed the recipe a few years ago. It used to be much better. Trust me, you don't want to eat it."
Your Date: "But, it's delicious."

Zzzzzzzzzzzzing!!!

[stanmar]

Animale Animale ....................................she in fact keeps the bottle for herself
Carven Homme ......................................loves so much she actually bought her own bottle
Minatoure ..............................................smel ls it on me and asks which bottle it's from

[kaizer121]

Green Irish Tweed
Aventus
Rose 31
Memoir Man
Oud Wood
Tom Ford for Men
Windsor


She hates Tuscan Leather

While I can't say I'm on the Aventus bandwagon (yet, may have to buy a full 1 oz....) I can see why a woman wouldn't like Tuscan Leather. It just doesn't strike me as sensual, or even all that inviting. It's masculine to the core but to me it feels like a man's man scent. Men love it, and women love men who love it, but I'd imagine most women don't love it themselves. Just my two cents

looking forward to fall before summer even gets here. I love cool weather clothes and cool weather scents.

Hahahaha I hear you but I just can't wait that long. Call me selfish but if the entire building doesn't want to spend the hot summer's day smelling Black Aoud then they shouldn't have let me in the door

[Bigtruck260]

Czech and Speake 88
Azzaro Chrome Legend
Nautica Voyage
Aventus
Pure Shot

[Darjeeling]

Darjeeling's from Oz, so I believe the appropriate term is "banana hammock".

I grew up referring to them as Speedos, but also commonly referred to as budgie smugglers.
I'm more a board shorts kind of guy really, or I'll wear something like this when swimming laps

I meant thats how my gf reacts to ouds.
So true about reformulations.

[rynegne]

Any shitty run of the mill aquatic. For whatever reason she absolutely goes nuts for Mont Blanc Legend and ADG..
Hates 2 Man...which is my personal favorite...

[Norstrøm]

Her favorites on me are Chanel Égoïste and Chanel Bois des Iles Quite lucky for me, that they are my favorites as well

[indianwells]

My wifes favourite by far on me is Hermes Equipage.

[The Unlucky Rogue]

L'Air du Desert Marocain: Specifically, I'm talking about the base it evolves into once you've been wearing it for 6+ hours. I easily get 18 hours of longevity from LDDM. I love the top, but it's the final stage that really gets me compliments.

I should also note that I've never gotten any positive unsolicited feedback from Aventus. When I asked for opinions, I was told "It's nice." I enjoy the stuff, but it's not something I wear on dates anymore.

YES. You are doing it right sir. I spray 5-6 sprays of LDDM early in the night when I'm not around other people. That way, in about 4-6 hours time when (if) things are going swimmingly and the gap between myself and another female human is beginning to shrink, it has lost its 'spice market' feel and has, as you said, evolved into something else that is just magical and fucking sexy. I feel like I sing it's praises far too much, but I can honestly say it has never, ever failed me.

Oh... and the longevity you mentioned. It is herculean. Doesn't matter what you get up to, the next morning you STILL get compliments which is a real godsend. You know what I'm talkin bout.

[dreamer81]

She has two equal favourites Gucci PH II & LIDGE. Fortunately they are both in my TOP 5.

[misterhyde]

Straight to Heaven
Tuscan Leather
Aventus
Terre d'Hermes
Narciso Rodriguez

She has also threatened to leave me if I ever use Acqua di Sale by Profumum ever again.

[fraghead93]

The original formulation of M7.

[bleedredandblue]

Forgot about Endymion! Wife digs that one as well.

[Duke Hunt]

Ex-girlfriends favourites were (in order):

1) Encre Noire/Green Irish Tweed (tied)

2) Memoir Man

3) CDG 2MAN

[sjg3839]

My lady really likes Neroli Portifino (which she brought for me), Virgin Island Water and Bond No. Washington Square(brought herself a bottle which I now use).

[goutam02]

Gucci Envy

[DaveStPaul]

I grew up referring to them as Speedos, but also commonly referred to as budgie smugglers

D@mnit! You're right, I was thinking budgie smuggler. (I wonder where I got banana hammock? Oh well. )

[Sol invictus]

gf isn't really interested in frags at all, but she has told me I smell nice a couple of times when I've been wearing Gucci PH II, which happens to be my favourite.

[Mervin]

1. Chanel Platinum Egoiste
2. Bleu de Chanel

Distant 3. Terre d'Hermes

Suprisingly she wasn't very impressed with Creed Aventus! :s

[barclaydetolly]

I currently have no girlfriend, but am accepting applications if any female members are interested.

The last one loved Neroli Portofino. Loved loved loved it. Prior girfriends (just in the past, say, three years) have preferred Chanel Bleu, D&G The One, and Green Irish Tweed.

My favorite post this week.

[andym72]

My wife really likes:

Armani Eau pour Homme
Caron Pour Un Homme
Blenheim Bouquet
Declaration Essence
Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee
Giorgio BH for Men

[Letitbenose]

Equus (Lalique) and Dior Homme Intense
are what she likes the most and always notice!

[DanielPlainview]

Equus (Lalique) and Dior Homme Intense
are what she likes the most and always notice!

Wow. Lalique Equus is 100% pure wood. She must love wood.

[knightowl]

My date last night told me she could still smell me after getting home and taking off her clothes.

Was it my cologne or....me?

[Sylver]

Chanel Edition Blanche
Lalique Hommage A L'Homme
Mont Blanc Legend

[axmaster45]

1) AdG Essenza , hands down
2)Aventus
3)Bleecker Street (surprised by this one)
4) DHI "vintage" (this is really number one, but the other she verbally comments about, while this one, no words need to be exchanged to see the reaction)

[Letitbenose]

Wow. Lalique Equus is 100% pure wood. She must love wood.

I'm still surprised too! But I think that she is more sensitive to the sweet ambery vibe that unfolds on me (a matter of body chemistry maybe). I have to mention that her nose is way better than mine.
I'm sure she likes woody/ambery frags though.

[The_Cologneist]

Been single for a good while, but back when I was dating this girl between 2006-2007, she LOVED Polo Double Black.

[dudelove]

Loves Aventus, VIW. She keeps asking me to refill her decant of VIW.
