Signature Scent

Do you have a Signature Scent?

I tend to have a range of smellies on the go at any one time, get different brands bought for presents or buy whatever is on offer when I run low. When commuting I'll have 2 or 3 showers a day and probably apply a different smelly after each. Half the time the smell is camouflaged by deep heat or tired cycle gear anyhow.

What do you wear, and what do you think it says about you?

    I’m quite the discerning sophisticate.

    So it’s Sure for Men (blue canister jobbie), or if I’ve run out I have been known to reach for the canister of Sure for Women.

    Mrs MP would probably say my signature scent is 'ar5e'.

    Aside from that, I tend to wear something lighter/fresh/citrus in the day and something heavier in the evening. Typical faves are from D&G (The One, The One Sport, No6/L'Amoureux), Boss, Paul Smith or something from Gucci (can't remember which).

    I also like some of Tom Ford's scent's, but they're a bit pricey (even though I buy all mine duty free when travelling for work).

    Hopefully all this says about me is that I don't smell like an unwashed goat.

    Mine was a lime-smelling CK One (gift from the g/f) until someone swiped it out of the office toilet at a party. Now it's just Huggies Pure.

    When I can remember at home I slap on some Clinique Happy for Men, because my partner wears Clinique Happy in Bloom and we are that nauseating ;)

    Um, not so sure it counts but I like Lynx "Africa", as far as anti-persirants or shower gels go.

    Other than that, Georgio for Men (Georgio Beverly Hills).

    It was Escada's Magnetism for Men 'til the buggers decided to stop making it. Loved it.

    Currently on Armani's Code. It's not the same though...

    There's a guy at work who uses this. He gets regularly mocked.

    It's got to the point now that whenever he sprays, the whole office will call out "No spray, no lay".


    Isn't lynx africa what people used when they were 13?

    L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake is my fave for Spring and Summer.

    In Autumn & WInter I tend to wear obsession by CK.

    I used different scents I've got Gucci Eau de Toilette, a couple of Chanel and Hugo Boss. I also moisturise with an all natural paraben and chemical free moisturiser. At home I use Neal's Yard francinsence. I moisturise my body with sweet almond oil, keeps my skin soft and supple... Anyone else?
