Ha! From your car thread if my memory serves me?? Couldn’t find the damn pic of me actually driving my mates Aston Martin I was going stick in that thread …

It's actually a different Aston Martin to the one I reviewed. That was a blue one. This is a Vantage DB11, a convertible that's a fabulous drive.

Tom Ford Noir Extreme is my favourite one if I'm gonna pay for an expensive marketing campaign. For a more reasonable price though I love James Bronnley Original.

If I'm gonna go full retro late 80s wine bar sleazebag though it's absolutely Lapidus. Proper masculine old school pungency bordering on offensive aftershave that's completely at odds with modern fragrances.

So not to look too weird but this is the collection minus 2 Prada’s I just got while in holiday.

So what is the best is purely dictated to by WHEN you want to wear it.
My blind everyday grab that I know everyone just likes are acqua di gio EDT and Bleu de Chanel EDP.. these you could use any day or night.. so easy and versatile.
For evenings I go a bit deeper and would go la nuit de l’homme from YSL or Dior sauvage.

On the niche line it’s PDM Layton and Carlisle, Creed Aventus, Roja Elysium are my go to.. and tbh they probably my favourite 4.. but Layton is just amazing..
that Initio side effect is meant to be a panty dropper but I haven’t really given it a real wear yet

I keep saying I’m done but I do want Green Irish Tweed as well… beautiful !!

I got given a big sample of that, I don't mind it, wife hates it, as she does blessed barak. Initio parfums are heavy, quite overpowering, though got loads of samples of perfect oud which is my possible next buy.
Green Irish tweet is so fresh for summer, Greenley by PdM is similar, very green, grassy parfums.

Cheaper than hookers and far less trouble with the wife!

Apart from Creed mate. You can get a weekend hooker for that
price.
Obviously you’ll be smelling somewhat different.

@BornBlue76 what aftershave would you recommend for this ?

 

[Papa Shango]

I used to wear Armani all the time but they changed the formula somewhat and it's not quite the same.

My go to these days is Aqua Di Palma Colonia. However I like to try loads of stuff for day to day wear. My latest was one called Yatagan Caron which was certainly an acquired taste, proper love it or hate it thing.

I find aftershave to be quite boring these days though. Nothing seems to last for long either.

Cant beat plain old Joop either. Works well on me for some reason.

I would love to try some Penhaligon but cant justify the cost really.

Rocking this one at the minute, it’s sound.

A dab of land rover axle oil behind your ears should attract a worthwhile practical female if that's what you're after.
