Hello gents. Just wondering if you guys have a “signature scent” and if not what would be the closest scent for you? That one aftershave you always seem to reach for. Maybe the cologne you always use. Let me know. I would love to hear about it! Now as for me, I love Caswell and Massey “jockey club” Cologne (Said to be a favorite of John F. Kennedy, check it out if you want a very nice scent that compliments just about any aftershave that I’ve tried personally). But other than that, I love Stirling deep blue sea bath soap, shave soap, aftershave, and cologne. Pure perfection. If I’m going without cologne, I’m rolling with clubman classic vanilla with Stirling frost drops, more often than I’d like to admit.
Do you you guys have a “signature scent”?

If I could afford to smell like Armani Code day in and day out I would be a happy man. For now I'm settling for smelling like American Crew.
I had a pretty rocky relationship with my old man, but one positive memory I do have is that every time he took a shower and shaved, the whole house would smell like Lagerfeld. That was his “signature scent.” It’s a powerful and happy memory for me, despite all the bad stuff he did.
I want my kids to have that, too. I want them to remember that the house smelled like dad every time he showered and shaved. So I decided I wanted my own “signature scent,” something they’d always remember about me. For me, it’s not Lagerfeld, it’s Ogallala Bay Rum. That’s why I may try something new from time to time, but I always come back to Ogallala. Bar soap, shaving soap, aftershave, and cologne.
Besides, it smells AMAZING.

I absolutely love Armani code. The den wouldn’t be the same without it!

Seems like someone should PIF you some aftershave! You’re really missing out! Lol
Thanks for the offer, but I'm in a 10-year restraint.

That’s so beautiful I almost Shed a tear. Just kidding that’s pretty cool though. I wasn’t close with my dad either, so I have no idea what he wore. But I swear it’s clubman classic vanilla. It has such a nostalgic scent and that’s the only way I can explain why. Now if I use clubman pinaud, that brings back memories of my 90 year old barber. (Still cutting hair to this day, and is in the barber hall of fame!)
I have a ton of options these days (after all this is B+B)!! But I always come back to Pinaud Clubman! 
I use Eau de Baux and Aventus more than the rest, but I don't think I could narrow it to one. The fact that they're my wife's favorites heavily influences their place in the rotation.
Aventus a few years back, now it’s a cross between Silver Mountain Water and John Varvatos, wife loves the former and daughter loves the latter. I switch off a few times per week to keep them both happy.
Chrome by Azzaro. First cologne my wife bought me and it doesnt give my skin fits!
Jovan Musk splash on or spray 99% of the time
Armani Code once in a while

I'm more a cologne than aftershave guy. Signature in the winter is Eau des Baux, when it's warmer Terre d'Hermes
Anything that makes me smell like a wizard.
Currently frankencense and mryyh AS and ceder/ sandalwood cologne

Probably tend toward Yatagan by Caron more than anything else. Like pretty much anything from Caron, but love Yatagan!
My wife commented once she likes me to have a signature scent instead of wearing different scents on different days. I have narrowed down my list of "usual suspects" to two: TSD Bourbon & Vanilla, & a homemade splash made up of 12 parts Pinaud Clubman, 6 parts Lucky Tiger, 1 part Old Spice, & a few drops of glycerin. I call the mixture Lucky Old Man. I wear TSD Bourbon & Vanilla 5 days out of 7 usually, substituting in Lucky Old Man on the other days.
I currently have a bottle of Clubman Vanilla on order. Looking forward to trying it.

My grandfather & my dad always used Old Spice. I naturally drifted into it as well & used it until they changed the formula. It’s been a real search since then. I used New West until it became unobtainium and now find myself using Clubman or Captain’s Bay Rum. The search continues
