What is your spouse/girlfriend/significant other’s favorite scent on you?

[4everPup]

What scent (cream/soap/aftershave) does your significant other prefer on you and how do you feel about the scent they like?

I’ve tried Proraso Red & Green and a few of the samples of TOBS creams. I prefer the TOBS Sandalwood the most. I had my wife smell some in the containers and some on me after I was done shaving and she also prefers the TOBS sandalwood too. I never told her my favorite prior to her smelling and choosing her favorite.

Anything except The Veg, Aqua Velva Musk, and Gent's Gin.

 

[CANES]

Mine basically hates all of them. When it comes to soap, no matter what the scent, she says it smells like "soap".

Since it doesn't matter, I wear Lilac Vegetal all the time. I like it and that's what matters.

None

I gave up on the wife. She really doesn't like any of them. She's got a sensitive nose. I ask my daughter.

 

[Darth Scandalous]

My wife likes the Veg. A lot.

I gave up on the wife. She really doesn't like any of them. She's got a sensitive nose.

Me too, unfortunately. I wore a single spray of Platinum Égöiste to work the other day (sprayed just before I walked out), and when I got home she said, "Ugh, what's that?"

Speick is the scent that she finds most bearable, so I wear that. A lot. The AS and the EdT.

The Myrsol aftershaves are great because they are not too strong, nor do they linger. She doesn't mind soaps as none of them are around enough to really register, or she has given up on mentioning it!

There are a couple of other scents that I can wear to work as long as I underspray, which I am fine with as they are for my enjoyment, not everyone else I ride the train with.

 

[lancre]

Unscented.

Unscented.

So, I just tried that.... I got in some Fine snake bite. I put some on and she said I smell like medicine and go away.

What have you used?

I can't wear aftershave or cologne without triggering a migraine, so soap/cream and aftershave balm provide as much scent as I can tolerate. I usually go for unscented products or "soapy" scents. My wife and I both like Cade, but I haven't used that soap in years since my local L'Occitane store closed. She seems to like my Palmolive cream just fine and she also likes bay rum on the rare occasions I use that soap.

 

[Schnitzel52]

From the beginning my wife liked Proraso Red (Sandlewood). It’s like catnip.
She also likes Captains Choice Venture and Pre de Provence 63. I think she has good taste.

I too get migraines (vestibular). So far, I don’t think scents are a trigger.
I’ll have to test it out.

 

[Ruva]

Pinaud Whiskey Woods is her favorite scent.

 

[Roman Totale XVII]

Aqua Vela Musk which is hilarious as it’s easily the cheapest AS out of the 20-30 that I own. She is also a big fan of Myrsol Plastic Shave, which I guess balances it out a little.

 

[Boti2634]

Old Spice. She likes the classics.

Cheers, all!

My wife loves:
• La Nuit de L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent
• Aventus by Creed
• Bleu de Chanel
• Sauvage by Dior
(you can find shaving similarities in soap/scent makers)

I guess they are classics and popular for a reason.

Off the beaten path, she loves Stirling Soap's Baker Street too (her words, after using it, I "smell like a gentleman's library"). I suppose this just means classy, but what do I know.

 

[Hopalong]

Thayers facial toner, rose petal. Very light scent, miracle stuff for this old mug.
Wife uses it too, says she likes it a lot for her face after she takes her makeup off.

 

[Tirvine]

She likes Guerlain Vetiver and Habit Rouge.

 

[rbscebu]

For soaps they all prefer ARKO and for aftershave most prefer the faint lingering scent of Wahl bay rum (80%) with 20% Dickenson witch hazel.
