Just thought I would report back on my findings as I just came back from a perfume shop testing some aftershaves. Armed with the below list to look out for, here are my thoughts on each.
Creed - Green Irish Tweed (Store did not stock this)
Thierry Mugler - AMen / Angel Men (one of my favourites. nice sweet smell. 4/5 stars)
Hermès - Terre d'Hermès (Store did not stock this)
Guerlain - Vetiver (Store did not stock this)
Davidoff - Cool Water (cant believe so many people recommended this. Smelt like the toilet biscuit that is put in mens urinals. 1/5 stars
)
CK - One (So sweet, might as well be a girl. 2/5 stars)
Joop - go! (Its alright. 3/5 stars)
Paco Rabanne - Ultraviolet (Very sweet 3/5 stars)
Paco Rabanne - Black XS (one of my favourites. Nice Sweet. 4/5 stars)
Chanel - Allure Homme (Very sweet. 3/5 stars)
Gucci - Pour Homme II (Nice sweet. 4/5 stars)
Giorgio Armani - Acqua di Gio Men (Not tested)
Issey Miyake - for Men (one of my favourites. Cant describe its smell but I like it. 4/5 stars)
Geo F. Trumper - Eucris (Not tested)
Acqua Di Parma - Colonia Intensa (Not tested)
Paul Smith - Extreme (one of my favourites. Nice Sweet. 4/5 stars)
Estee Lauder - Pleasures (one of my favourites. Really liked this. Nice Sweet. Shame the name is a bit naff - Pleasures for men
5/5 stars)
Dolce & Gabanna - The One (one of my favourites. Nice Sweet Oriental smell. 4/5 stars)
Armani - Code (Nothing special 2/5 stars)
I then chose two of my favourites Paco Rabanne - Black XS & Estee Lauder - Pleasures to spray on my skin to decide which I like the best. It has now been an hour and I can now say that the Black XS is very sweet, smells like the candy coating on M&M's, would give me a headache if I smelt this all day.
I have to say after all the testing I have decided upon Estee Lauder - Pleasures.....I cant get over how much I like it.
Now to the interwebz to find it at the best price
