    It smells more herbal to me than floral.

    Unfortunately, there aren't many Tulip scented products.

    Speick is a good call for a scent similar to, but greener than, lavender.

    RazoRock XXX or One-X are good options, although the former has a patchouli note that SWMBO might object to if 'earthy' is a problem.

    Rose can certainly work.

    I make no secret about being a fan of jasmine scents, but several of the jasmine scents in my rotation are custom.

    This sounds like a case for the Veg!

    And also....you should take our Queen of Blades up on her offer, and contact her.....Then I know you will be in good hands, and she can whip up something very specific for your needs....And also put in whatever type of skin conditioning you like or need....

    Gondolier is a very nice Jasmine combination scent. I'm hoping for a Lavanille splash someday, too.

    sorry im late to this thread. I couldn't believe BK made cologne lol. I had to look this up. im not too sure if I would want to smell like the broiler. I worked at BK when I was a teenager and that smell is hard to wash off

    There's not a big market in male floral scents you would probaly be better off going down the citrus route, I'm not a fan of floral scents myself and I have absolutely no idea why anyone likes Bay Rum man that stuff is the Devils own scent, but notes I look for in scents are Neroli Bergamot Amber Cedarwood Sandalwood Vanilla Musk, take a look at the Penhaligons Mens lineup there's probably something there you will like. http://www.penhaligons.com/gentlemens-fragrances-and-grooming/

    Arlington by DR Harris is a manly floral IMHO.

    B&M Cologne Russe is both floral and manly, IMHO

    Question on that Aqua Velva Musk....is that best for warm/hot weather or cool/cold?

    I think it just really depends upon your tastes. Unless it's 90+ degrees, I tend to just put on whatever I want. When it's 90+, I tend to either go for heavy menthol or Lilac Vegetal.

    That has become my recent problem with Aqua Velva. It's a nice smell of course, but I'd rather go with something that began as an aftershave, and STILL is that.

    I had no idea Lilac Vegetal has a cooling sensation. That was Clubman's first AS, right?

    AS disappear so quickly so here are some Edp and edit to check out. If you looking for floral but masculine here a few to try:

    Amouage Opus 8, it has jasmine, ylang ylang and iris but I it's not listed in the notes.

    Lavender has allot more to choose from Caron our Un Homme, By Killian A Taste of Heaven and Frederic Malle Musc Raveguer.

    Rose has even more options here are a few. A Different Company Rose Poiveree, Chanel Egoist (sandalwood is dominant), Tauer l'Air du Desert Marocain, Creed Royal Mayfair (Windsor) and Serge Lutens Rose d' Nuit and many others.

    Lavender with patchouli and masculine then Rive Gauch pour Homme. Look for the time can version. Plus it is definitely a barbershop scent.

    Speaking of non-hippie patchouli.... Dior Patchouli Imperial is the most beautiful frag I know of where the patchouli is dominant.

    In the end you can ignore if it's listed as feminine or masculine. I don think some scents definitely fit a gender classification but maybe I've been living in a Confucian culture to long. Kouros=sweaty man, Chanel No. 5 = feminine. I love No 5 but I'd never wear out of the house.

    It's best for when you want to use it.
    I dont compartmentalize my aftershaves into seasons.
    Some do. I don't.

    It doesn't have a cooling sensation, I just like how it smells on a warm summer night :)

    No idea where it falls in the chronology of Pinaud/Clubman. I do know it was created for Napoleon's Hungarian Cavalry.

    Why couldn't Clubman's regular AS been the one for Nappy's Cavalry? Shux.

    How about pure lavender waters, like Caldey or Cella?
