F doesn't wear aftershave - but he does use sandalwood soap which smells really good.<BR/><BR/>You got me on the perfumes. I wore Guerlain for a while - stopped wearing it (although the addiction to prescription medicines remains). Went through a phase of loving Penhaligons Rose perfume but it got too cloying. Absolutely adored Aramis New West but they discontinued it. So I've sort of given up on perfume for a while, especially as the only one I found which I really like - Montana's Just Me isn't available in this country and I don't go to France often enough to stock up on it. Now, if it's a special occasion then I just put a couple of drops of Ylang Ylang oil in the bath and that has to do. Would love to have a proper perfume again though, just can't find one that I don't hate after wearing it for an hour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-91801013953018676602007-06-29T20:11:00.000-07:002007-06-29T20:11:00.000-07:00*dyin heah* too damn funny, sugar..but hell, i liv...*dyin heah* too damn funny, sugar..but hell, i live in the south...land of too much perfume and big ass hairsavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-4736970870574008872007-06-28T15:55:00.000-07:002007-06-28T15:55:00.000-07:00awaiting: i love the term 'scarce cooking chef'. d...awaiting: i love the term 'scarce cooking chef'. did you ever get 'hot water and a spoon' for dinner? it was my mom's specialty.<BR/><BR/>iam: welcome howdy! and gracious, my blushes! you want a #1 blogger, go see anyone in my comments lounge. <BR/><BR/>fatty: no way! why do they think that 'Axe' is a more american selling name than 'Lynx', i wonder? they both smell like underage wank.<BR/><BR/>homoE: you know, you're right? it's like the 70's all over again. well, here we are on the brink of stagflation, involved in another vietnam...why not spend all your coin on stinky stuff? <BR/>'Oh Chaz my Chaz, <BR/>I long to smell ye...<BR/>oh awaaaaaay, you sexy bastard...<BR/>oh Chazzie juice, I long to huff you, oh away, I've had a hot flaaaash...<BR/>(to the tune of 'Shenendoah')<BR/><BR/>freshH: howdy! isn't lime divine on a man? you took me right back to a particularly hot episode and now I'm all fidgety.<BR/><BR/>qenny: so you already knew about your mom feling up waiters? i hope this wasn't news to you. about the essence of someone elses asscrack i will remain silent.<BR/><BR/>alala: I remember their ad campaign a few Xmasses back.

I used to date a guy who didn't use manufactured scents in any way, but he drank a lot of beer with lime in it. The beer didn't come out in his sweat, but the lime did and it was divine.

You don't see ads for them all the time like back then. I remember almost every Christmas as a kid giving my dad some kind of cheap aftershave set. He did wear OS sometime, but his favourites were English Leather Lime and Canoe.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, he generally acted happy no matter what kind he got, and would wear it now and then. The other man I currently know in his 60s, my mom's ex-bf, is the same way - he just likes aftershave, doesn't matter what kind; he likes to try new kinds.
