About hair oil - I'm not a fan. I find that a bit of hair gel holds the hair without soiling hats or clothing. That's one modern invention I like a lot.:cheers1:
MissTayva said:One fragrance that absolutely drives me wild and smells very classic is Vetiver, by Guerlain. My husband has used it practically forever (long before I met him) and will use nothing else!
What I like about it so much is that it doesn't smell like all the 'other' men's fragrances. I think it is described as being a blend of leather, tobacco, bergamot, moss, lemon and vetiver (hence the name). It is very clean and fresh smelling.
Definitly the cologne- with Ralph Lauren's scents the cologne is "the real thing," while the after shave is not even in the same zone...and for some reason the spray seems to do the job best.....I have used Safari for years, but I use more Polo Green for my everyday scent- I am always amused that so many ladies seem to comment that they love the smell of thise two products on me- that reminds me, I should go check my supply of eachSHARPETOYS said:The cologne !!

Went to Costa Mesa, found that their items were priced in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" realm.
Alsmost the level of all of the national debts of the contenents of Africa & South America combined.
*****Salv said:Ah ... sorry, John They're not too bad in the UK, and they have an outlet store near Oxford where the prices are lower. I hadn't checked on US prices.

Top Notes - Lavender, Bergamot
Middle Notes - Otto of Roses, Cedarwood, Orris, Jasmine

PADDY said:<Gucci Pour Homme, vintage male scent at a reasonable cost.>...the next best thing, and it really holds its own, is Pour Homme by Gucci! (what a surprise, I know!!).
It's leathery, English saddlery, tobacco, smouldering turf fire, with a hit of Havanna cigar in the background, is the essence of vintage masculinity!..............
