    Womens like a men to smell "manly". Vanilla and peppermint are mot manly. Musk, sandalwood and menthol are manly.

    If you don't mind to spend some money Creed is the only way to go. I have gotten so many compliments on it. And it is way cool, I mean how many can say Presidents and Kings wear the same.

    I'm not having a lot of luck with Creed. I ordered a 5-pack of samples and have been working through them. I've got Green Valley, Green Irish Tweed, Royal English Leather, Tabarome Millesime and Original SAntal.

    SWMBO put the nix on all but Tabarome and Santal. GIT and GV were deemed too flowery, and Royal English Leather was deemed to come across as flaming homosexual... Which I would trust her opinion on HIGHLY, since her father was an open homosexual hair-dresser in the Castro district (highly gay populated) of
    San Francisco and she grew up summers there.

    SHe liked the Tabarome better than the Santal, but wasn't head over heels over either. I'm hoping that the Truefitt & Hill sampler has better results.:o

    Yeah, I don't like to smell like vanilla. I had some Givency Pi,and to me it smelled almost totally like vanilla. Had to give it away....

    My wife and every woman that has smelled "L'Homme" by Yves Saint Laurent on me goes nuts over the stuff. I'm pretty picky about scents and chose it on my own first. But it is nice to get the ladies thumbs up. For the cheap stuff, my wife can tolerate Aqua Velva Musk, and I love the scent.

    Well, after 3 months of wet shaving, I finally asked the wife, point blank which of my a/s she liked the best. She told me the Clubman Bay Rum was nice and she also likes my Mennen skin Bracer knock off as well. She's not real big on the Brut or the Aqua velva. I'm not keen on the AV, myself. I know that comment may bring a hail storm of boo's to me, but it's the last in my limited a/s aresenal that I'll use. Just don't care for the scent. Long live Bay Rum!

    My girlfriend likes me to smell like a man, so I get to wear Pinaud Clubman, Old Spice, Barber Shop scents and anything with the word "Leather" in it's name. She absolutely loves RL Safari, which is a plus, as I wear that 90% of the time anyways.

    She put the nix on Brut "smells like my dad" Aftershave and anything with lavender as a primary scent. "Why would you want to smell like soap?"

    She also likes my Old Spice Hawkridge body wash and Axe (I know, I know) Dark Temptation body wash. I tested her at the store with other fresh and fruity fragrances. She wrinkled her nose at me and gave me a disgusted look.

    This one might be a keeper, guys.

    One of life's great mysteries and one to which we will never the answer.

    Being single and in addition to traditional shaving perfume is also a hobby for me with more than 40 different bottles. I wear a different fragrance everyday and can say there is not one perfume I have that is universally liked by all my female friends. What one loves, another hates. This along with many other questions about the opposite sex I have come to accept that I will never understand. Viva la differencé.

    My main smart aleck girlfriend only likes the perfumes she selected for me.

    When you find the scent that She agrees to, look em up here;

    www.basenotes.net

    The site may help you understand what went into making it smell that way, and lead you to other similar products.

    On your #3, I tried Aqua Velva musk a long time ago, and liked it. To paraphrase Billy Joel(from An Innocent Man-my favorite song) "I'm not above going through it again". :)

    I've found a great way to see that my hubby never wears a scent I hate; I make all of his colognes. On him, I like citrus scents (such as bergamot or lemon), woodsy scents ( a blend of blue spruce & cedar) and spicy scents (bergamot/black pepper blend.)

    That'd be Clubman, Aqua Velva Musk, and Old Spice(the original), right? Oh, I see, you focus on the blending in of it all.
