My Dad wore Woodhue when he wore cologne at all. He used to say "Would you?" This is the mens cologne from the 50's/60's. If I knew then what I know now...

Roberto, my father also wore Varon Dandy. It is a great scent.

ROBERTO, what a great topic! My father did not buy scent for himself but he had quite a few he received as gifts and enjoyed wearing scent. In the bathroom cabinet he had Old Spice, Hai Karate, Caswell-Massey Casma (original version) and Guerlain Vétiver. I'm proud to say that the two he liked and wore the most were the two I gave him: Casma and, most often, Vétiver. He smelled particularly divine in Vétiver. I can still remember getting a beautiful whiff as he would come down the stairs following his grooming.

Old Spice and sometimes Wild Country.

knize ten most of the time (still does) and aramis classic during the years when knize ten had become unavailable (those two i associate most with him.)

also fahrenheit when it first came out, kouros when it first came out, and vintage tabarome (this latter introduced by me.)

Old Spice which I still love though he was a beastly man.

When I was in high school, my father wore Aramis. I remember getting up in the morning, and when I would take the coffee creamer out of the refrigerator, I could smell the Aramis lingering on the container, since he had just used it a couple of hours earlier.

Years later, when I was working for Lauder, I introduced him to Devin and also to Aramis500, which smelled exactly like Aromatics Elixir. Even though he wore those, I will always think of him, when I smell Aramis.

My dad has worn Old Spice every single day of his adult life. My daddy smells wonderful. He's the best. wub.gif

My dad wore Egoiste by Chanel, Declaration Essence, Lagerfelld and Farenheit (when it first came out). He did not buy another bottle of Farenheit because I really did not like it. He also wore a Cartier with mint, it probably is Pasha.

So did mine! Nowadays he mostly wears New West.

Maybe it would be easier to ask whose father did not wear Old Spice? biggrin.gif

My father rarely ever wore fragrance. But interestingly, he loved perfume and always bought perfume for my mother and for me andmy sisters. He bought my first very own perfume - Chantilly- when I was in Grade 3.
Lavender Blue
Ditto, on the Old Spice, he had heaps of other after shave bottles given to him as gifts over the years but he rarely used them. These days he uses a natural e.o. based aftershave oil or balm, my mum had to give up perfumes/fragrances due to severe sinus problems.

I remember him wearing Old Spice when I was a small child, then as we got older and started buying him bottles of cologne, he would wear whatever we bought for him. I remember bottles of Chanel Allur, Dior Fahrenheit and most recently, Terre d'Hermes.

Old Spice for sure and then Zizanie

Old Spice aftershave, but only for special occasions.

My dad alternates between Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte, Frederic Malle/ JC Ellena's Citrus Bigarrade and Guerlain Vetiver. He also sometimes wears Liz Claiborne's Curve for Men.

Brut, only on Sunday mornings, the whole time I was growing up.

Now he's wearing something from the Bath and Body Works Men's Collection my sister bought him. Cold Creek? River Water? It's not very Daddy, IMHO.
