Not football related.
One of my passions is collecting aftershaves/colognes. I don't smoke, very seldom drink, don't gamble, or anything else like that, so my vices that cost money are football, clothes and aftershaves.
So, if anyone else likes to smell good(us Rangers supporters are famous for it, unlike the other mob), you need to treat yourself to the new Tom Ford tobacco chocolat. A few scooshes of that and you'll be fighting off the women. Or so the auld burd said to me in Harrods beauty when she sold it to me. 🤣🤣

Oud Marcuja, Oud Satin Mood and Ombre Nomad best 3 in my collection at the moment.
25 Aug 2026 18:26:51
Tom Ford expensive taste, sir, however, smells incredible.
My favourite years ago was a Clinique aftershave called Chemistry, only sold in Harrods, no longer available.

Sauvage
Creed Aventus
Boss The Scent
Some of my favs.
25 Aug 2026 18:56:55
I have Creed Aventus, Sauvage & Sauvage Elixer, Stiggy.
LV Ombre Nomad is really nice, Wishy, and like all LV, expensive. I only have one LV, and it's Pacific Chill.
My other favourite brand is PDM, who do some absolute velters like Laton, Althair, and my favourite, Oajan.
I hate when they discontinue a favourite, Johnny. One of my all time favourites is Bottega Veneta Pour Homme Extreme, but it's sadly gone.

Sunshine, I'm the same. Like to treat myself to a nice aftershave or two.
Got a few TFs inc Ombre, Black Orchid, Bois Pacifique, Noir, and a couple of Creed scents too.
I've found a new one (new to me). A make called Penhaligon's.
It carries a royal warrant. Charles wears Halfetti Leather. Notes of leather and plum.
I've got Halfetti Leather and Bold Blend. About to get Constance.
Get on it, man. Let me know what you think if you smell them.

As my go to is Tom Ford Ombre Leather, but one I've started buying recently is Byredo, Vanilla Antique, Gypsy Water. Quite pricey, but if you're buying Tom Ford then it's not much more expensive. I think the only place in Glasgow to sell them is in Princess Square Space NK.
Like yourself, I don't drink or anything like that, so I treat myself to one or two of those a year. Give it a try, matey, you won't be disappointed. 😉

Love Tom Ford, leather. Also like any of the Creed products.
25 Aug 2026 19:14:42
I've got Ombre Leather, Bb4 EDP, but for a bit more sophistication, get the Tuscan Leather, mate. The tobacco Vannile is also top notch. Also, Tom Ford Noir Extreme is class.
I'll definitely look this one out, mate, as Vanilla nodes are a real favorite of mine.
See if you want one of the best Vanilla fragrances out there, which does not cost that much, get a bottle of Armani SWY Intensely. It's one of the best ever!

I don't have any Penhaligons, Athole, but they are definitely on my wish list. I'm also weighing up whether to really splash the cash and treat myself to a Clive Christian or two to add to my collection.
25 Aug 2026 19:25:07
Athole Penhaligons is class. Mr Sam is my favourite and always get the Mrs Halfeti.
25 Aug 2026 19:26:07
I think Mojave Ghost is Byredo Bb4, that's also a class one. Get it in Edinburgh in the Harvey Nichols.

What happened to Brut or Hai Karate? 😁
25 Aug 2026 20:13:32
Hi Karate, Brut and Old Sice for me. 😂😂
25 Aug 2026 20:25:21
Hey Brut and Hai Karate are coming back. 😂
I love so called "Male Scents".
I pay no attention to that. If I like it, I wear it.
I can't deal with strong floral smells.
I love Chanel Pour Homme Sport and Jean Paul Gaultier. I don't like any of the Tom Fords I've smelt to date.
Postcards from by Thomas Carter is outstanding.
I also like the Harris solid colognes, Viking and Outlander.
So called women scents go-to's are Inis, Chanel Chance, Burberry Body (bloody discontinued), Milton Brown Fiery Pink Pepper and Cedar and Saffron by Salt and Stone.
25 Aug 2026 20:40:38
Athole is Black Orchid, not a perfume. I remember buying it for my wife on one of our anniversaries as the gift suggestion for that year was orchid. I can't really wear aftershave as I'm allergic to most of them. I definitely bought it in the women's fragrance section.
25 Aug 2026 20:41:59
Canny beat a wee dab of Denim behind the lugs.
25 Aug 2026 20:53:58
JFM, it's unisex. Didn't know that at the time though, mate.
25 Aug 2026 20:57:50
Wishy, is Mr Sam the Stags head (or whatever it is 😁)?
I remember getting my late Dad a big bottle of Hai Karate from the shop on Ashfield St for £2, for those from the North of Glasgow.
It was that tit from STV Sport, Raman Bharwarj, his parents' shop.
25 Aug 2026 21:06:35
I have the Tobacco Vanille as well, sunshine, like yourself I'm a bit of a collector, another one I love is Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge, got that as a Christmas present 2 years ago, probably most pricey one at £375 for a 50ml, one spray lasts the entire day, beautiful fragrance.
Wishy, fortunately my son has Mojave Ghost, but I have Alto Astral and Pulp as well, probably get a bottle every bday/Christmas/anniversary etc. Been a collector of aftershaves and trainers for a long time.
25 Aug 2026 21:29:57
Don't know anything about unisex. I never went to uni. 😁
25 Aug 2026 22:43:26
Bb4, me too, Mojave Ghost is class.
Athole, yeah, the Stags Head one, you can smell it a day after you spray it.
26 Aug 2026 07:42:09
JFM -. 😅
