Best fragrance for a manly man?

Hi @Uncas,
Ah! I too am a big Clubman/Pinaud Fan. I especially LOVE their Bay Rum which I find very soothing. Also, I'm a HUGH fan of Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After-Shave Lotion ( which is admittedly an acquired taste). I also recently acquired my first bottle of Clubman Osage Rub which I plan to NEVER be without. As far as Colognes/Perfumes, I have more now than I use in a Lifetime (maybe).

The most manly fragrance is also the most controversial. Tom Ford: Tobacco Oud.
It's really strong, and yet...offensive at the same time. You have to really have the confidence to wear this. You WILL get people's reaction.

I wore TF oud wood tonight. Do you mean tobacco Vanille? Do they make a tobacco oud?

Pinaud Whiskey Woods or Bootlegger's El Dorado.
Tobacco Oud is actually marketed as unisex.
You have to be manly to wear Lilac Vegetal because everybody is going to be trying to kick your *** for smelling like a public urinal.
Interesting. I was under the impression only Men could wear it since it's such a strong fragrance.
Some women's fragrances can be strong, particularly if they are Oriental types (as any oud would be). Just keep in mind that originally Old Spice was marketted to women, and the fragrance was inspired by William Shultz's mother's rose jar.
In middle eastern cultures, oud is worn by both men and women and most perfumes traditionally were unisex.
Back in the day before Madison Avenue and their Mad Men got into marketting fragrances. people wore fragrances because they personally liked them and they had the disposable income, not because they were men or women. Lucille Ball's favorate fragrance was Florida Water, and John Wayne's favorite was Lilac Vegetal (despite the fact it's very floral, and to me smelled more like something you'ld find in Bath and Body Works now days, snatched up by women).

Lilac Vegetal was created for the Hungarian army to help with moral during campaigns where hygienic situation was dire. Germans used 4711 in submarines, Americans had Aqua Velva.
I do not know what would be!
Can't get any manlier than Hoppe's No. 9
It's my "go to" fragrance when I'm out and about in the trailer park.
