It's neither a "disinfectant" nor a "conditioner", it's just perfumed aftershave!

It must be 40 percent alcohol. Why does it sting ?

I've no idea why but I'd guess because it's cheap and nasty.  If it is a disinfectant the toilet bowl would be a good place for it, I suppose!

One refrigerates it

We all know what you wear.

I don't know why you'd think that you know that; there are no football clubs where I come from.

I guess we have different priorities 

One in Kitchen, one at balcony and one in the gym, still not space for 100 bottles of after shave ????

Chanel NEVER do any sales on their products (They don't really need too)

Chanel Antaeus only comes in 1 size - 100ml - How much is it at Central Festival ??

 

UK = £85 per bottle.

I can get it for £69.70.

I do not understand your post. I never asked for any sales.

 

I do not recall exactly how much I paid for the Antaeus, but it must have been something around 6'000.-- THB or a bit more in between up to 7'000.--. I cannot tell if 100ml is in it - it is just always the same size I know and there is no indication on the bottle itself (maybe on the carton, but this one goes into the garbage).

I wish to GAWD people would get it through their thick skulls that a fragrance should be discovered, not announced!

If I'm riding my pushbike and you pass me on a motorbike and I can smell it, that's too much.

If you step out of an elevator and I step in and I can still smell your fragrance, it's too much.

Basically, if I can smell your fragrance anywhere, it's too much.

Subtlety is the classy way to go.

Following your theory you need to be really really close to someone to "discover" the fragrance. Lets try next time in the elevator at Central when I bend my nose to the neck of the lady standing right near me and then say: "I knew it, Chanel No. 5". She would be delighted I suppose. ????

Good post brother - Appreciate it.

 

I remember one time, i was in my hotel room in Koh Samui on the 5th floor - I arrived 10 minutes before my "Friend" arrived - It was a long walk from the elevator to my room - When she arrived, she could smell me all the way - I was wearing Kouros that day.

 

Maybe i did actually overdo it.

[RedArmy]

My favourite Armani fragrance - Highly recommended.

One that reminds me of "the good old days" of a mispent youth is this one....

 

 

I still have that bottle, used to were it in the 80's along with Kuros, they were both my favorited and I purchased a bottle of Aramis on my last return to Oz in late 2018.

 

I enjoy the musky fragrance, although haven't had to put any on yet, although getting close now as my favourite below finished about 4 months ago, and I am now almost finished with Jimmy Choo as well, and am due to go back to Oz in July although am not pressed to, but a mate said he is looking at coming over in August, so if it turns out that way, I will be putting in me order, especially if he can get me the bottom one, been years since I had that and just remember it, as I always had trouble finding it.

Come on, everyone loves a bit of JPG - Le Male - My deodorant stick has just finished.

 

[scubascuba3]

I don't wear aftershave, i also don't like when guys wear way too much like an Estate Agent in the UK.

 

Most girls don't wear perfume here, ladyboys do it seems, another way to spot one

Very old school & actually an iconic fragrance - I had a bottle before in the UK before i left - I used it as a room freshener. (No offence intended)

Fair play mate - It takes a big man to come out with a statement like that.

Jungle Boy for me. ????

 

Actually Gillette Cool Wave if I'm just out and about and I'll borrow some of my friend's CK on special occasions.

They love it on Fragantica. 4.28/5. It's one of those fragrances that got a bad press because your Dad used to wear it but is actually good and gloriously retro. Just the original formula though, not the new stuff which smells like a badgers a**e. 

 

[itsari]

Never use the stuff .

Take a shower and change your clothes regular is enough to keep people moving away from you .

I remember living in Norway catching a ferry to work and the stench from the after shave forced me to move often .

No offence taken.

 

I experimented a fair bit with fragrances back in the day, and women mostly told me that they loved Cool Water or Joop on me as it wasn't overbearing, however for me personally it was Issey Miyake, i.e. if I wasn't on the prowl back in the day, that definitely wasn't overbearing and you'd have to be up and close to get a wif of that, but I could smell it and it was pleasant.

I like Isssey Miyake too - Their shower gel is also very nice.

 

Joop is extremely overbearing - 1 spray is more than enough.

 

A lot of people don't know this but different fragrances react to different peoples skin.

My farts come in different flavours/smells, I like to drop one in the lift, the look on other people's faces when they try to work out what I  ate last night is amusing.

Scottish? I worked quite a bit with Scotts offshore, and the funniest thing they knew, was to fart in public.

[ed strong]

I used to wear aftershaves and it was chanel antaeus, which also seems to be the one most mentioned on this thread, an old gf also brought me some issy mayeke, which to be fair smelt nice. (the gf wasnt old, just was a few years ago now)

 

The problem i have and why i stopped wearing was the association, the over powering smell after was related to the demeanor of that person and generally both were offputting.

 

I also dont wear a watch anymore, although have and used to wear an expensive ones......it just sent out the wrong message) Basically attention seeking or look at me.

 

 A genuine question, why do you wear aftershave?

Google is your friend.

 

Quote

The purpose of using an aftershave is to re-hydrate the skin once you've shaved, quite literally after the shave. This is because shaving can dry out the skin and cause it to feel tight and even a little prickly. That uncomfortable feeling is caused by a lack of moisture in the skin.

What a ridiculous question - Especially from someone who used to wear such an exquisite fragrance such as Antaeus.

[nightfox]

Gillette is my favorite. To bad they don't have any after shave balm in Thailand, just the alcohol one.
