What does TTH smell like?

[Lofty]

We've likely had this before but more threads etc.

I really wanted to gauge if the board preferred roll on deodrant or spray. So please reply with your preference and include your daily choice of underarm protection and aftershave.

I've recently converted to Rock Face, spicy edition spray on the pits and was using Carolina Herrera Bad Boy as my daily until it ran out last week, mainly because I had a huge bottle of the stuff gifted. My favourite right now is Prada Luna Rossa Ocean.

[-james-]

No deodorant crew. Acqua di Gio or Aesop Marrakesh if I'm feeling spicy.

[Baz]

I can’t for the life of me find a deodorant that stops me sweating.

Most recently bought MAXIMUM PESPIREX FOR MEN but it cut my armpits to shreds.

Pitrok doesn’t work. Standard shite like right guard, Nivea, sure etc does nothing.

I don’t smell bad but I’m wet and I hate it. Makes choosing work clothes a pain.

As far as aftershave goes nothing will ever top Creed Aventus but I appreciate the price puts people off. Totally worth it not just for the fragrance but for how long it lasts.

[Clunge]

Right Guard does me proud for the most part. I’ve never bought a scent or after shave in my life.

[Boydy]

I use those stick anti-perspirants. They seem to be the best for preventing sweaty pits, I've found. There's never a big range of them in my local Tesco so it's usually either the Dove or Lynx ones.

I've never really got on with aftershaves. The smell just tends to annoy me.

[Manc]

Your mum.

[phonics]

Rank

[Giggles]

Spray. Those roll-ons and sticks just feel like you're already sweating.

[John Arne]

Nivea Dry impact roll on and Nivea Cool something antiperspirant. That's it.

212 if I'm feeling special.

[Spikey M]

It's a mixture of Mahows armpits, Yevrahs dead rats and Jimmy's Chrimbo Paella.

[Dark Soldier]

Testosterone.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If I ever brought out a scent it would definitely be called Christmas Paella.

I've never worn an aftershave in my life, and buy whichever deodorant spray is at the front of the supermarket shelves.

[Shindig]

Usually Right Guard but, like Jimmy, sometimes you just take whatever's on the shelf.

[Don]

If your sweat smells bad, your diet needs addressing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I used to use stick as I preferred it but since starting at the gym when mixed with sweat I wasn't keen on the smell.

I've switched to Lynx GOLD spray which seems to last for ages and doesn't mix weirdly with my sweat.

For aftershave I use Bleu de Chanel.

[Baz]

For aftershave I use Bleu de Chanel.Smells great, and is a very popular fragrance among homosexuals, allegedly.

[Ben]

Any Sure or Dove spray is fine for me.

Aftershave always Mont Blanc Explorer. Gets the ladies wetter than an otter's pocket.

[SvN]

I can’t for the life of me find a deodorant that stops me sweating.



Driclor works, but it will burn your armpits the first few times. You just need to stick it out.

[thommo]

Smells great, and is a very popular fragrance among homosexuals, allegedly.

I bet Calvert-Lewin buys a truckload.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Smells great, and is a very popular fragrance among homosexuals, allegedly.

You've rumbled me.

[wullie]

I use L'Oreal Men Expert because the name suggests it really understands me, plus the cans are about a foot tall so you only need to buy one twice a year.

[Manc]

Sure Maximum Protection (clean scent) is the one for the pits.

As for cologne, look no further than Tom Ford. Ombre leather is my current choice.

[Raoul Duke]

Some random deodorant (Dove?) spray. Sticks are for deviants.

Aftershave I have some YSL currently but it's usually "whatever smells good at the airport when it's repurchase time". I tend to go for either "fruit" or "water" scents. Boss Orange is a fave

[Mike]

I use Mitchum Sport, I use both a roll on and then a spray.
On a work day I spray in either Explorer by Mont Blanc or Armani Code
At the weekend I normally use Constantinople by Penhaligon’s.

[Kikó]

I smell of the balloon.

[CJay]

Driclor works, but it will burn your armpits the first few times. You just need to stick it out.

Yep, I used Driclor for a 6-12 month period to combat abnormal sweat and it worked a charm. It did sting the first few times but that was 7 or 8 years ago and I’m basically ‘normal’ when it comes to sweating now. I did use Perspirex once but I think that was toward the end of my issues. Triple Dry was another but it was more like a wet roll on and didn’t seem to have the same benefits as Driclor.

Basic roll on is what I use - Dove is the brand I think.

[Baz]

Please provide a link to the exact Driclor product

[igor_balis]

Pubs and wormwood scrubs and too many right wing meetings.

[SvN]

Armani code all the way here too. I think I've been using it for almost twenty years now. They did have a sport version (I think) of it at some point, which was pretty nice too, but apart from using the small gift bottle I had, I haven't bothered to look for it. My perfume needs are usually satisfied on my birthday or Christmas, so I don't even remember I bought any myself.

As for stick, I like the basic stuff that doesn't smell like anything (Erisan is probably the most frequent brand I use) but lately I've had a blast from the past and been on the CK one stick.

[Lewis]

Pubs and wormwood scrubs and too many right wing meetings.

You look like you smell like washing that hasn't quite dried.

[Spikey M]

:lol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Or it's been left in the machine for too long after the cycle has finished.

[phonics]

Having had to wash bed sheets that igor has used for multiple days I testify that he doesn’t have a problematic odor but you will have to use extra product to remove the nose bleed stain caused by shit coke.

[Foe]

I use brut deoderant in body spray form, comes in a green can for about £2.

Hugo boss (green?) is what I’ve used for aftershave for the last 10 or 15 years.

The biggest revelation I’ve had is buying a small refillable aftershave dispenser (you get 3 of them in 6ml form for about £6 on Amazon) and filling it with some cheap soap smelling brut aftershave which costs about £5 for a big bottle. Take it to work, nights out, wanders so if you turn into a sweaty mess you can freshen up. Bought a few more recently so might upgrade my colour from black to purple. :cool:

Been using this religiously and it’s a game changer. I have literal blisters around my armpits from the few times I’ve been a bit overzealous but my god it works miracles. :hail:

[SincereTheRebel]

Yeah. Somebody on here recommend it to me also. Stops all sweat. None. Zero

[Manc]

Well that can't be good.

[randomlegend]

I came into this thread thinking it was more of an abstract question about what odour the board itself would have.

[Lewis]

Baz how come you're so sweaty when there is nothing on you?

[niko_cee]

Life of constant fear/guilt.

[Manc]

Beta energy.

[Dquincy]

Well that can't be good.

This. Surely that can't be good for your body?

[Baz]

Baz how come you're so sweaty when there is nothing on you?

I don’t really know. I’ve basically had near-constant sweaty pits and hands since I was about 13. Thankfully I don’t get smelly afaik and my feet aren’t sweaty. Someone [who has it] said they think I have hyperhydrosis but the medication they take for it (oxybutynin) seems to have worse side effects than having to wear two layers to limit pit stains, so I don’t think ill push for a diagnosis from a dermatologist anytime soon.

Driclor can’t be a permanent fix, but it’s honestly made a world of difference. Wore a light blue shirt for work yesterday with nothing underneath it and had zero pit stains. That’s unheard of!

[Mike]

I'd just like to say, it isn't an issue that runs in the family.

Iontophoresis is work looking into. It's something a lot of GPs aren't really aware of in my experience so try to find out if your local hospital has a service and then see your GP armed with that knowledge and ask to be referred, if it's something you'd consider trying.

[Luca]

I've built up a decent collection of smellies over the past few years. A few in heavy rotation these days:

Frederic Malle - The Moon
Creed - Royal Oud
Jeroboam - Gozo
Orto Parisi - Terroni
Orto Parisi - Megamare
Spirit of Dubai - Durra

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I bought a new Eau de Parfum last month.

I'm now rocking Mont Blanc Explorer (black) and I really like it.

[Ben]

That's been my go-to for a few years now. If you think you like it, imagine how the women feel. I'm always getting asked what it is.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't have that problem :(

[Lofty]

How is it compared to the blue? I gave that a whiff in Boots the other day whilst waiting for the Mrs and wasn't keen.

[Mike]

It’s much better. It’s my current day to day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Didn't give a test of the blue as I loved the black and knew it was the one I wanted.

[Dark Soldier]

Terre D'Hermès is the main one but don't wear it much, like Ben only one I've used where women ask what it is and seem to love it. Hugo Boss day to day. Ted Baker Body Spray and then just L'Oreal Protect for the pits.

[Manc]

What do you use for your gooch?

[Dark Soldier]

Raw, unbridled day long musk.

[Lofty]

Mont Blanc Explorer Black is tremendous, thanks for the recommendations.

[Baz]

Been using this religiously and it’s a game changer. I have literal blisters around my armpits from the few times I’ve been a bit overzealous but my god it works miracles. :hail:Stopped working. Back to sweating.

https://www.perfumeprice.co.uk/

Has anyone used this site before?

Need to buy my Mont Blanc again and they are so much cheaper than everyone else. Good Trustpilot reviews (who knows if they're fake or not) but it's so much cheaper than everyone else that it's making me wary they might be selling fakes.

[Lofty]

Comments on HUKD for that site seem to be happy enough.

[Raoul Duke]

I got some SAUVAGE (a.k.a. sausage). Smells great and the bottle has a little magnet in it to clip the lid back on which is very satisfying

Seems legit.

[Don]

Thefragranceshop beats that for my one. £15 annual membership or something but even so, it'll probably work out better.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Decided to buy Driclor as my back sweat has been off the charts in the last month or so (especially when I go for a walk with a backpack on).

Used it last night and just put it on tonight, so damn itchy.

That's weird, after years of being a sweaty mess I literally got some of this the other day. Well, perspi-guard which I assume is the same thing.

Absolute game changer lads, put it on Friday night, body remained dry as your mum's fanny when I'm not around all day Saturday , Sunday and Monday, despite showering every morning. Only just started visibly sweating today, quality. I can only assume it's made of asbestos and polonium or something, but I'm willing to take that gamble.

[Baz]

Doesn't last for ever. Make the most of it.

[Lofty]

Is it possible to put it on your head? I am fairly dry elsewhere using normal anti perspirant but my head absolutely pisses sweat when I'm hot/exercising. The wife bought me a neck fan which is alright at home but fuck using that in public.

[SvN]

Don't overuse Driclor and it will work forever. I've been using it for over a decade. I can only assume Baz was using it as a direct replacement for his normal antiperspirant, which you're not meant to do.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I am also using it on my pits to stop the heavy flow from there and I think I went too heavy last night because holy fuck was it painful last night.

[Baz]

You get past that. Stick with it.

And I was using it ‘in place of normal antiperspirant’ because normal antiperspirant does nothing.

[SvN]

What I meant was - if you just switch it out and use it in the mornings/after showers it's not going to work. You're supposed to apply it before bed and once it starts working, only apply it every few days.

[Dark Soldier]

Embrace the musk you sopping wet weirdos. Femboys love it.

[Spikey M]

What is wrong with you lot?

[Boydy]

Surely it's fine to be sweaty when exercising?

[SincereTheRebel]

Very true. Recommended by the TTH and havent looked back since. I havent applied it this year and have yet to feel the need too.

[igor_balis]

What is wrong with you lot?

Hyperhidrosis ennit. I know people get annoyed about EVERYTHING having to have a bloody DIAGNOSIS!!! these days, but whilst I probably don't have actual ADHD, OCD, penile gigantism or other such disorders that I exhibit plenty of symptoms for, I think I prob could get a proper doctor's note for the sweatiness.

As for why, dunno, genetic probably.

[Pepe]

Lol at you cunts sweating when it is 20 C.

[igor_balis]

Lol at you cunts sweating when it is 20 C.

Mate a gentle fucking stroll for more than 15 minutes will get me sweating in 5°C. I'd write it off as being out of shape but it was like that when I was an eight stone teenager.

[Pepe]

The good thing here is that everywhere is ACed to the max, which keeps sweat to a minimum on the day to day, despite being like a million degrees outside.

[Spikey M]

Lol at you cunts sweating when it is 20 C.

It's 22 here, but the humidity is 72%, so even I'm a bit sticky and I'm not a perma-sweaty freak like this lot.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at you cunts sweating when it is 20 C.

Doesn't matter about the weather for me, walking seems to turn my back into a slide n slide. Slap a backpack on me and I could end a drought.

Doesn't get as sweaty at the gym (I'm wearing a SWEAT WICKING shirt there though) or when I'm running around playing tennis.

[Lofty]

Lol at you cunts sweating when it is 20 C.

It doesnt help our houses are built to retain heat rather than cool.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just went for a 30 minute walk (with no backpack) and my lower back is pretty damn dry.

Surprised it's been so effective so quickly.

[Manc]

Backpack wanker.

[Spikey M]

Backpacks, specialist deodorants, neck fans. I feel like I'm in a 90's Yank School Musical and I'm sat at the fucking tragic lunch table.

[Pepe]

We're cripples but at least we ain't woke fucktards like this lot, sweaty bastards.

[niko_cee]

Driclor sounds like something that you'd put on the carpet. Surely something that stops you sweating entirely for like months is probably not that good of a thing in health terms, even if it is for 'freshness'?

[igor_balis]

Rucksacks are quality, they're just objectively really efficient. The autists on me and DS's other forum mostly agreed that it's really immature or somehow uncouth to use them after the age of about 20, yet were unanimously unable to provide a better alternative than a far more shit thing like walking about with a briefcase or just not carrying as much stuff around. But I want my stuff!

I feel it's a very specifically born before ~1985 kind of neurosis.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Briefcase, Skoda, shirt hanger in the back of the car. I'm only a very wide tie and a gregarious personality away from being the perfect 1990s sales rep.

What’s in your briefcase?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Laptop, catalogues and notebooks. I'm in an analogue industry.

[Boydy]

You have an actual briefcase?

Is it one of those soft laptop bag type ones or an actual hard case briefcase?

[Giggles]

More people should have proper birefcases.

[Manc]

Jim turning up to central america looking like Mr Bean.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's soft cover, a bit like this (https://aldoshoes.co.uk//products/thoebard-other-black-13723567?srsltid=AfmBOopIwNwtoD6Fa2mgLHCNhOBwe4jGH APQ4S-UhYcpzN1LtBZf2gaaE-w) with a more manly handle, can you even get the Mr Bean style box ones anymore? Maybe lawyers have them.

[Boydy]

Disappointing.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, I was hoping hard sided leather with gold buckles/combination locks.

Lawyers tend to go for stupid little wheelie things I think.

[Mike]

Add me to the none sweaty backpack gang. A grey vans one.

[Lofty]

Mont Blanc Explorer Platinum is excellent.

[Giggles]

I found Jil Sander Sun on my hols :cool:

[Manc]

Mont Blanc Explorer Platinum is excellent.

Is this the autumn/winter edition of Explorer?

[Lofty]

Seems to be, a bit spicier than the black version (I don't like the blue).

Jil Sander still great, sometimes find it in TK Maxx.
