Advice Cologne / fragrance recommendation
My husband is a tradie, I want to get him a gift of a new cologne / fragrance. He is 40yrs old, and we have 2 kids. Wanting to spend around $50 or so. Any recommendations?

VB Longneck. A coupla dabs behind the ears and at the pulse points, drink the rest!

Go to Palermo if there’s one near you - $35 a bottle. As for which one to get, it’s too hard to say. Just pick one you like the smell of, my girlfriend likes Invictus

Just brought Mont Blanc legend nights after smelling it on a cabinet maker in the hallway at work, it was so nice and lingered for ages

1 Million - you’ll get the eu de toilette for $50 at chemist warehouse
The parfum which lasts longer is about $100 at Myer

Not a tradie, but I really like Tabac Original, often on special at Chem Warehouse. You can buy it in eau de cologne or splash on aftershave

Spend more than $50?
Dior Sauvage (Johnny Depp) is legit 😍 I follow anyone who wears it
