Fragrance rules

[thefuryuk]

Hi all

Just interested to know people's thoughts on fragrance in relation to fashion.

I will always wear some kind of fragrance (usually applied to chest after shower)
I have "suit" fragrances and "casual" ones.
I go by the 2 foot rule.

Also gone old school recently with an obsession with Aramis or 4711 original cologne.


Any rules people go by?
Anyone else have Typical "suit" fragrances? Or is it something people don't think about as much as I do?

Do people have one signature fragrance? or like me, do you have 8/9 different ones so you smell different on different days??

My #1 rule is that fragrance should be noticeable only to a person who is slow dancing with you.

Other than that, I just wear stuff I like.

This is great advice.

I think Brooks Brothers 1818 would be a good "suit" cologne.

Personally, I have all the L'Occitane fragrances and just wear one each season. Right now, for Spring, I'm wearing the L'Occitane original, which smells like lavender & peppercorns.

At the moment I have the Truefitt and Hill 1805 during the cooler months the T&H trafalgar in the warmer months. My general rule is something heavier in the winter and lighter in the summer.

I usually have 2 or 3 colognes in the cabinet at one time and try not to buy too many. When one bottle starts getting low, I'll start looking around for something new and give the old one to a friend.

If I can ever find a limes scent that last more than 10 minutes it would probably get a permanent place in the rotation.
