Hi..

recently, i bought a perfume for my BF.. but he seems dont like to use it..
im kind of confuse, is the smell didnt suit with his nose or what.. but i like the smell.

for me, as women, i think, when a guy using perfume, it shows his mahco maa.

okay, here i hope some of you guys can share with me what is ur experience using perfume with ur girl.

**if you all don mind, tell me also the brand or name of the perfume that you like or you prefer to use one.. thanks in advance.

I don't see any reason for a men to be hating to use a perfume unless he doesn't like the smell.

In your case, maybe he just treasures it too much. Some people are like that. Only use them when they have any special occasion.

Recently I went to a shop and saw this perfume. Very nice smell.

well did you went and tested out the perfume with him?maybe its because he doesnt like the scent? or some guys are just not into perfume haha you should know ur bf the best

i previously got a small vial of dunhill perfume.

my tuition teacher gave to me just for my prom...

used a few drops then never use liao...keep as display..><

2 yrs ago my gf bought me a bottle of Burberry Brit for Men for xmas and since then i have amassed a collection of 80+ (n counting) bottles of perfume LOL. My gf can't stand my hobby anymore haha. My collection I think surpasses that of the average female.

So yes for me as a guy perfume really really matters. I never leave home without having some kind of fragrance on

My hubby doesnt like to use any perfume. Never does at all. He doesnt have B.O, he doesnt have any bad smell. Its just that he doesnt like to wear perfume. I guess some guys are like that? They like their natural smell i guess....
Why dont you just ask him straight up? better than wondering right?

actually why make them put more stuff on them while they feel more comfortable just being their original self ?

i use perfume only when go clubbing...because to avoid the smoke smelly

Yes it matters, in fact my Christian Dior Fahrenheit attracts more opposite sex compares to my others like CK/IM/GA etc

it doesn't matter whetter you like it or not...if you appreciate gift from someone you love and to make her happy..just use it when you go out with her...is that hard?

owh.. so, now from what i understand from those responses, it shows that i need to go together with him to bought a perfume.. is it? it is more reliable rite? rather than i just simply bought for him.. ..

anyway, thanks for the point. one more, can someone share with me, what is your most favorite perfume you ever found in your life??

I think it would be best if u went along with him to buy. Make sure the perfume he choses is something both of u really like.

I don't have one single perfume that I can truly admit I like. This month I may like Dior Fahrenheit for example but next month I may prefer Kenzo Power. That's why I have 80 + bottles haha.

But what I can do is compile a top 5 list of frags I like at the moment (in no particular order).

- YSL Rive Gauche
- Guerlain Heritage
- CK Be
- Versace The Dreamer
- Terre d'Hermes


Best of Luck !

Currently im using that pheromone based perfume for men. I noticed get pretty good reaction from girls

but i do have 2 mont blanc and 1 ted lapidus perfume.

well its best to do so..last month i went to test out some perfumes with my gf and she somehow knew which one i wanted but i had no intention to buy it that fast..a few weeks later..i got it as a surprise gift for my birthday left me speechless

I think its better for guys to not put on perfume. Even though it does attract attention, but I'd rather not smell the guy from afar LOL
Perfume should be personal. And subtle.

With guys, sometimes I think they over-do it =P

I'll use my perfume if there's special occasion. as lost_destiny said I treasures it too much

1 of da reason i treasures it too much is i couldn't find it anymore since i hv kinda weird taste(abit like gal)
da perfume i own nw is Blu Enjoy by Byblos
it's citurs base and hv those erm... light feel...relaxing feel


Blu Enjoy

and for ur case... i think he dosent like it....maybe.... did he usin it for like... special dinner or somtin?

BO FTW!

agree but i think 2 sprays from major label EDT wont be overpowering
personally i use them everyday cos i hate the ppl around who reeks, and by Holy Green Cow they are so many out there who dont realize it but they fukn kill nose receptors

My latest favourite scent is Orange Blossom from Jo Malone. Though it is just cologne but its very lasting...most importantly the scent is very uplifting and natural

Bought it from Singapore at SGD95 for 30ml. Check out http://www.jomalone.co.uk/products/3551/Fr...gnes/index.tmpl for details.

currently use Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme and Polo Blue.

For us, it matters less what guys think and more what girls think.
We're not putting on cologne for the lads..

my girl prefers me to put on perfume, she likes guys with good smell, not that i hav odour though..
but i prefer girls NOT to put on perfume as i like natural smell.peace!

My question is:-
(1) Did your BF using a deodorant??
(2) Did your BF have his own perfume before??

If NO; then he is not concerned for his body smell and not interested at all for the perfume.

If YES; then there must be something wrong with the smell of the perfume that you bought it to him. Some men like the smell of their perfume strong and rough (like HUGO ENERGIZE) but some men like light smell (like ISSEY MIYAKE FOR MEN).

MY SUGGESTION IS YOU ASK YOUR BF FIRST WHAT KIND OF PERFUME HE LIKES A LOT. IF CAN BRING HIM TO THE STORE AND PERSUADE HIM WHAT BRAND HE MOSTLY LIKES. THEN FORM THERE YOU CAN GIVE HIM A SURPRISE FOR PERFUME GIFTS.

As for me; as if it outdated, I prefer CK ESCAPE, RALPH LAUREN POLO DOUBLE BLACK and DAVIDOFF ECHO.

GUD LUCK.

personally i put on perfume whenever i leave my home for occasion.. like mamak, of coz i dont use it..lol

currently is looking for new perfume...
i like something fresh n woody that suit my age as well.

My GF also want buy a perfume to me,
but i told her that i never use it before,
and not wish to use it yet,
mayb i'm still young

try this..


Attached thumbnail(s)

after shave or a nice clinical face wash with toner is good enough. Clean hair and body with mild shampoo/shower gel scent is good enough. men should have very subtle scent. Less is more.

If you are outdoor worker and with this kind of weather, better use perfume

perfume smell differently for different people..
so U must at least test it on that person.. then U know if its good or not..

maybe he try it already.. but later findout it was not his kind of perfume..

What brand and items would you recommend personally?

try Christian Clive No 1.

for perfume,i would recommend BODY SHOP for light and longer lasting smell.however..better finish it all fast cos the body shop parfume really easy to be out of smell.
eventhough the bottle still got 70%,when u spray.no smell.u can just feel cold cos of alcohol in the perfume.thats all,ur rm80 fly like that.

my personal,the one that i find suitable with me right now is ADIDAS SPORT-red colour one.i always use daily.its cheap,smell good.

for something special..like meeting my girl,dinner,night activities,i used MONT BLANC - HOMME EXCEPTIONALE.this strong.bold smell.be careful.good for one who has B.O.

anyone here have used Gendarme?

what was that?

My elder bro's pc is full of straight porn and he has been using perfume since like secondary school.

I think maybe Gendarme not launch internationally or maybe not famous here

try ask your dad or mom, they probably know. youngsters these day are more interested in sweet fragrances. market trend seems to follow that.

I think its nice though not necessary. My ex really loved the smell of my perfume so i would use it whenever i meet her, i too love her smell, pure ecstasy

Tip: don't get those cheap perfumes, you can really "smell" the cheapness.

It do matter for me....

I've tried quite a number of perfumes....and now i stick to Davidoff Hot Water. What a nice smell

With the current exchange rate, it’s more costly to buy Jo Malone in Singapore and Thailand.

It’s RM 265.00 in Malaysia...and RM 210.00 in Doha......and extra 20% discount (RM 168.00) for airline staff in Doha so I always ask my sister to buy in Doha whenever she return from there.
