Cologne and perfume

[Baron Kurtz]

I'd love to be able to find a post-shaving balm that would have the soothing effect without the smell - alas to date I've not been able to find anything unscented in that deaprtment.

You've tried just a skin cream? Works for me.

I'm using a Bay Rum balm from Bigelow Chemists, the oldest apothecary in America (or so they claim). My wife loves the scent and it takes just a very small amount to soothe my skin apres shave, so the price is right, too.

Bigelow's is located just a few blocks away from my office, but they also sell the balm online. Here's the link.

This Russian Leather scent is straight out of the past--what the man in the gray flannel suit might have worn (this one does, anyway). "Russian Leather" has maintained its title down through the years as the aristocrat of fragrances. Throughout Europe and the American continent it is still acclaimed for its fascinating and lingering fragrance. The original Russian Leather is now produced in the United States by ELSHA under the new name of "1776".

I also think that Dunhill '34 (if you can get it) and Caron's Pour un Homme are great golden age scents and, of course, Old Spice.

I have to say that I'm in love with my dad's perfume... It's "L'eau Sauvage" by Dior... He has got the same perfume for years and years and years ... He doesn't want to change... I also adore and love for a man "Habit Rouge"by Guerlain!!! My perfume is "L'Heure Bleue" by Guerlain... It's hard for me to change, I'm so used to this fragance/perfume!! !!! But for special occasion I love to wear my Chanel n¬?5....

As the logo says:If your grandfather hadn't worn it,you wouldn't exist.
I'm 3rd generation and I have grown sons that still wear it.

Geo F Trumper Astor Cologne... If it was good enough for Hercule Poirot, it's good enough for me!

Well, for me it's Col. Ichabod Conk's AMBER. I also like their Bay Rum. Very few I have met wear this or even know of it. Plus, I enjoy the 1930's style Barbershop bottles. And their Shaving Brushes and the Amber Shave Soap are excellent:

PS: for the ladies I seem to enjoy Coco Channel and the old one Obsession. My favorites anyway.

I have yet to find a scent I like, all the 'modern' scents basically smell like grass or carrot shavings. (Which, personally, I like the smell of mowed grass, as I owe a business that does just that, but not as a scent I want to carry with me all the time)

Right now I'm using a 'uni-sex' vanilla scent, which is working pretty well, but I'd like a more manly scent, specifically from an era previous to my living. (vintage?)

Any ideas?

Clubman has some manly scents and they are vintage. Try the Bay Rum.
Florida Water is citrusy.

I like Agua Lavanda Puig a lot perported to be the Sinatra favorite.
