I hate the scent of Irish Spring. I use [Bulgari The Vert](https://www.bulgari.com/en-us/fragrances/womens/eau-parfumee-au-the-vert-eau-de-cologne-spray-47150) as my scent, and my soap and shampoo is [Dr Bronners](https://www.drbronner.com/products/tea-tree-pure-castile-liquid-soap) hemp soap. ---

My usual daily scent is Obsessed by Calvin Klein. It’s not too heavy and just smells very clean. Date night or just to feel a bit sexier I have Dirty English which is a lot spicier and more assertive. I tend to vary a bit though since my better half got me a monthly subscription where I get a new sample size of something different to try once a month. It’s a cool way to try different scents without spending a ton. The key to it all is a very little dab will do you. If you aren’t actively hugging me or standing really close you shouldn’t be noticing it. If you can smell it across the room it’s too darn much. ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > To control my hair I use Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shaping Cream. It has a mild, pleasant fragrance. This was recommended here on the Dope years ago, and it’s been working very well. I found where this was recommended here on the Dope, and it was ten years ago already. Wow, time flies. Thanks again to @FoieGrasIsEvil for his recommendation. This works very well and it smells very nice too. ---

I don’t mind the smell on others but it is so not a good scent on me. I used it a couple of times and kept smelling this weird scent all day. Toward the end of the second day, I figured out that the only thing in common with the places where I kept noticing the smell was me–and Irish Spring. As for the original question, my favorite is Opium. It’s out of my price range so I only get it if I find it on a huge sale, usually those Christmas packages that have a small bottle and some powder. I found a knock off that doesn’t really smell that much like Opium but I like the scent anyway. ---

I bought Caswell-Massey #6, since George Washington was a reported fan. > **[You can still buy George Washington’s favorite cologne at Caswell-Massey](https://pagesix.com/2019/11/21/you-can-still-buy-george-washingtons-favorite-cologne-at-caswell-massey/amp/)** > > If it's good enough for a founding father … Alas, I don’t like it; it’s too earthy (although I imagine it combines nice with a leather saddle). My usual go to is Acqua Di Gio, which is a lighter smell. But that’s only when I use cologne. Most days, I just rely on Old Spice aftershave for my scent. ---

None. I’m allergic to perfume, so my wife doesn’t wear any either (which doesn’t bother her a bit.) Saved me thousands of dollars over 45 years of marriage. ---
