[musette_sf]

9. Seconded!

That was the only aftershave I really liked on a guy. Got it for my Dad every year.

[elleng]

13. Happy to be thinking of it again;

miss him.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[rsdsharp]

3. He looks more like a Lectric Shave guy.

That’s what my dad smelled like.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Because Tim Walz is a bad ass!

[elleng]

25. WOW! 2d time in a week I've thought of Royal LYME!

Gonna try to find some.

[irisblue]

37. Try Fragrancenet dot com

[elleng]

38. Thanks

[keep_left]

39. Thanks for the recommendation!

[duncang]

52. I can't remember who got it for me

I think my oldest daughter. Hated that stuff but used it anyways for her.

[maveric]

26. Aqua Baby!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

56. 😃

[JustAnotherGen]

27. Makes me miss my dad

[Floyd R. Turbo]

57. 🥲

[Sneederbunk]

28. Witch Hazel

[Floyd R. Turbo]

58. 😬

[moniss]

29. Maybe just run with this scent

after slapping it on before a shave with the old Norelco Triple Header.

[EYESORE 9001]

35. My grandfather used it

I use an electric razor now, and I’ve considered trying something similar, but unscented. Lectric Shave is not really obtrusive, as I recall.

[moniss]

43. It helped guys with razor burn from the electric shavers

and you're right it used to be light on the scent but I that was then and they may have "upped" the formula now. My Dad usedd to get bad razor burn if he didn't use a pre-shave. His neck would turn red and blotchy under the stubble.

[DJ Porkchop]

42. Nailed it.

I can smell my dad now.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

59. 🤗

[rockbluff botanist]

30. There you go again, Floyd R. Turbo, bringing a great memory to mind!

Aqua Velva.

My cattle rancher daddy wore it every, whether working cows or working on a tractor. I still have his last bottle of it.

Now, I'm crying.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

60. 🥲

[obamanut2012]

31. Old Spice

[Floyd R. Turbo]

63. 🤗

[FHRRK]

32. As a 62 year old white, guy-fugg this!

We don’t wear cologne and if we do it was a gift from a daughter, and that never happens!

Old Spice and lectra shave! If I could reach thru the screen and deliver a backhand, bout 10 of you need to go to the way back in the mini van. And hell no, I ain’t turning the AC up.

[sdfernando]

44. I'm with you bud!

About the same age. When I was in my 20s Old Spice, Aqua Velva, and Hi Karate were for old guys without style. I never used aftershave or cologne. Lots of people also commented on how good I smelled au natural. 😊

[LudwigPastorius]

50. "We don't wear cologne..."

This.

I still have 3/5ths of a bottle of Aramis from 1988!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

78. Consider yourself fortunate that you can't reach through the screen!

[EYESORE 9001]

33. I used Grey Flannel years ago

Sometime around 20 years ago, I decided not to wear cologne any longer. Mind you, I never doused myself in anything, but I became aware that some people have severe allergic reactions., so I cut back on using it. cologne wasn’t cheap, even back then. Cheap bastid that I am, it was difficult to justify the cost of a bottle that may develop off-scents after sitting too long.

My first memories of men’s cologne was Old Spice. Back then, at least, old Old Spice was putrid. When it’s fresher, however, it’s OK. It’s the most common scent I detect in public.

I know Aqua Velva quite well. I once had an in-law with a drinking problem. That problem was drinking Aqua Velva as a clandestine method of getting his daily dosage of ethanol - on the job, family gatherings, etc. Suffice to say, he wasn’t fooling anyone. I steered clear of him, woofing his Aqua Velva and cigarette breath in your face. Made me gag once, I swear.

But we’re talking about Tim Walz here. Since he’s a man after my own heart, I like to think that his face takes on the world raw dog just like mine does as we go out and get things done.

Hope it's not Old Spice. It makes me sneeze.

[MustBeTheBooz]

47. Sixty percent of the time...

It works every time. Ha!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

67. 🤧

[moniss]

41. I'm going to guess he might run with these two

[Floyd R. Turbo]

68. 🤗

[ornotna]

45. He's been to Europe

Surely his tastes are more refined now.

[musette_sf]

46. I still wear this in the summer

[Floyd R. Turbo]

69. 😁

[Celerity]

48. Caswell-Massey - Number Six, the oldest US men's fragrance. George Washington wore it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[WheelWalker]

51. Patchouli

[Floyd R. Turbo]

72. 😬

[LeftInTX]

92. LOL..I was gonna say this!

I wore it for awhile. And my son wore it for awhile. I guess it's transgenerational! Among a certain type...

Through in musk oil too!

[WheelWalker]

98. "A certain type", LOL! I think we know what type that might be.

Still wearing it regularly at age 75, especially to my city council meetings, for sure!

[Silent Type]

53. My dad was big on Old Spice in 50/60s. In high school, Canoe was my favorite. But haven't used in decades.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

73. ☺️

[rogerballard]

54. Ombre Leather - Tom Ford

[Floyd R. Turbo]

74. 😃

[Celerity]

84. I 🩷🩷🩷 Rose Prick by Tom Ford. Not a huge fan of florals, but Rose Prick is by probably my favourite rose fragrance.

[rogerballard]

85. I would probably love that...

I also enjoy Portrait of a Lady by Dominique Ropion for Frederic Malle.

[Celerity]

87. Frederic Malle has a wonderful gourmand collab with Acne Studios (my favourite Swedish designer) here in Stockholm

Acne Studios par Frédéric Malle

by Suzy Le Helley

Acne Studios par Frédéric Malle is a neoclassical perfume with an irreverent twist; cool yet charming; new yet familiar; rough yet comfortable; innocent yet magnetic.

Acne Studios is not just a look. If anything, it is many looks, an ethos not easily encapsulated: functional, but eclectic, the opposite of basic.

Frédéric Malle tried to put Acne Studios in a bottle. For this special collaboration, he asked perfume prodigy Suzy Le Helley to author a powerful manifesto.

The composition is as such: a large amount of aldehydes, rose, violet and a touch of orange blossom; accords of vanilla and peach; generous notes of sandalwood; a touch of frankincense, and a sea of musk.
From utilitarian comfort to eccentric elegance, this seemed like an olfactory rendering of Acne Studios.

Aldehydes, Rose, Peach, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk

[rogerballard]

88. I saw that!

I was hoping to get some samples but they sold out super fast.

[FlyingPiggy]

55. Old spice, of course!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

75. 🤗

[Brainfodder]

61. For the top of the ticket, Chanel #5 or farts?

I like both AV and OS, and British Sterling even and Brut.

May favs got discontinued though, R.I.P.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

76. 😢

[Brainfodder]

81. Von Shitinpantz is the latter ofc.

May the weirdo never live it down!

[Emile]

62. Ivory soap and water.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

77. ☺️

[LeftInTX]

93. Ick..Ivory smells like vomit!

[Emile]

94. I learned when taking baths in Minnesota lakes, Ivory floats.

[LeftInTX]

95. We made soap from lye and lard. (In school) It smelled just like Ivory

[Emile]

96. Did it float? Seriously I use to have this primitive cabin

Last edited Fri Aug 9, 2024, 03:25 PM - Edit history (1)

on a Northern Minnesota Lake with no running water. We took our baths in the lake. I had a rope swing in a tree and I would swing out and get wet.
Swim back to shore and about knee deep with my bar of ivory soap I would lather up. Swing back out and rinse off.

[LeftInTX]

106. We did not test it..lol

Since real soap is mostly fat, there is a good chance all soaps created from fat would float.

Most bars (Irish Spring for example) nowadays are detergents, which emulsify in water, break fats, protein and grease and likely would not float

[Croney]

79. I'm hoping he wears my favorite: nothing.

I'll bet there are lots of women like me who don't want a man who smells funny. (I'm not a scent-wearer either, so I might be too extreme in my disdain.)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

80. ☺️

[CentralMass]

82. Old spice.

[Horse with no Name]

97. With his age

I bet it was Cool Water or Pierre Cardin

[Floyd R. Turbo]

100. ☺️

[Zoomie1986]

104. Aramis

I worked in a major department store while I was in college during the early 80s. Aramis was the #1 fragrance for men of all ages. Every single one of our stores would run out of it the holidays--including Valentine's and Father's Day.

No other men's fragrance sold like that.

[highplainsdem]

99. Old Spice.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

101. 🤗

[getagrip_already]

102. I say he goes comando....

Army guy. Turkey hunter.

No scent. Ivory soap.

He doesnt smell, he just doesnt use perfume.

Just sayin.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

108. 😬

[LakeArenal]

103. My pop used both. Nothing wrong with diversity.

Anybody remember British Sterling.

Boyfriends everywhere got it for Christmas!
