Stopped wearing cologne or aftershave a number of years ago.

A few surveys I read recently stated that women actually prefer the smell of clean skin on men, not perfume.

I believe perfume in all its forms actually originated in France, and was used because people didn't bathe. If I remember correctly it was a belief that bathing caused the Black Plague so they just didn't do it. Hence the powdered wigs and perfume industry.

I've been bathing twice a day since forever and not once have I caught the Black Plague. Just saying.

In all seriousness, how is this? Very good? Reviews online are mixed. Couldn’t care less about price or vulgarity in the name, really thinking about buying this if it’s worth it.

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver...I feel like it's the best "everyday" smell, you can only get by with a few scents when you're close quarters in the office and this is definitely one of them.

Scent of the day today is Dame Perfumery's latest offering, Sky Father in the perfume oil version. It's a spicy oriental, somewhat reminiscent of a better quality Spice Bomb by V&R without the pepper. Perfect for a nice cool Christmas day at home.

I've never tried Viking, sounds like you are wearing a guy
But Creed do make some highly desirable stuff.

For me, although it is price high, I like Tom Ford - Tobacco Vanille and Tobacco Oud,

Thanks Danny
Apparently the F-Fabulous is sold out in Australia, they sold out in less than 1 hour and that is it no more again they say.....I'll have to try online..

I do have a Creed, I think its called Adventus, which I like, but I am a big fan of Tom Ford.

I just ordered the almost complete sample set from Etat Libre d’Orange.
I don’t think I’ll like most of them, but I am looking forward to trying them.
The house is known for its daring approach to perfumery.

May not be their most popular, but certainly a favorite to my wife and I. She actually loves this more than my GIT and prefers it thousands of times over Aventus.
