Old Man Smell

At 62, no matter what I wear, would be considered an "Old Man Smell" 
Excellent post. Women do like to be reminded of what their fathers smelled like if they have any sense and good judgment.
What woman wouldn’t want to be reminded of what, loyalty, faithfulness, dependability, hard work, wisdom, grace and respect smells like?

The only caveat being that some women had dads that don't make them think of those characteristics.Excellent post. Women do like to be reminded of what their fathers smelled like if they have any sense and good judgment.

Sad, but it happens.
I’m 64 and the wife is 60. When I wear Tabac she tells me I smell like an old man. Not that it stops me and not that it’s true lol.
"Does this fragrance make me seem old?"
"No, it's your birthdate that makes you seem old."
"No, it's your birthdate that makes you seem old."
Cigarettes and diesel oil.
I remember my father using aftershave, but I don't remember him smelling of anything else apart from diesel and cigarettes.

Definitely a caveat…
My sense of old man smell is screwed up from too many runs picking up old men at nursing homes. Nothing gets the blood pumping in the morning like the combined smells of Clorox and C-diff.

I am 56 and my wife is 61, she thinks Pinaud Clubman smells old man like. It reminds me of the barber shop my dad used to drag my brother and me to back in the 70s to get our high and tight hair cut. Dad was a ww2 Marine. I remember the warm neck shave and the cologne, likely Pinaud Clubman, the barber would put on us. I didn't care for the smell back then. My dad did not use cologne. He worked as a petroleum engineer on oil rigs. He would tell of some workers on the rigs who wouldn't take a bath as often as needed, instead opting to drown themselves in cologne. The smell that quaffed off of them wasn't pleasant to my dad. Also, strong colognes in such a small area of the control room weren't something they wanted to smell for 36 hours straight. He did get a gift set, what seemed like every year, of Old Spice Aftershave and soap on a rope from his brother-in-law and my aunt on my mother's side for Christmas. Those just piled up in his cabinet under the sink. Looking back I should have taken that stuff. However back then it smelt like an old man's scent.
I have been hesitant to use my supply of Pinaud Clubman due to the negative comments I got from my wife. I tried it this past Saturday. I was going on an 8-hour trip to pick up my wife in Alabama from Family. I figured the scent would subside by the time I got there. I splashed some on after my shave and was immediately struck with a memory of my Uncle Norman. The scent smelt like his cologne. He was a farmer but would dress up to go to work every day. Tie and Fedora. He was paralyzed from the waist down due to having Polio when he was a child. It didn't stop him much. He did have workers handle most of the hard labor, but he was out there on the tractor when need be. I flashed back to the late 70's and early 80's when I spent most of my summers there. I have morphed into not using colognes much now either, especially when I wasn't shaving due to growing a beard. As of late my primary means of transportation is a motorcycle, and as a habit, I tend to not wear colognes to avoid a stew of scents in my helmet. It may not be an issue. I did wear colognes more when I was in the "market" for a wife. I have settled down and the use of colognes has waned. I may build up the nerve to don Pinaud Clubman again to see how my wife likes it on me. Often the scent is different once it interacts with our unique scents. By the time I got to my wife, the scent had all but gone away. She either didn't notice or thought it was some new shave soap I had bought. Uncle Norman's scent may make a return at some point.

Are you starting to smell old my friend? I know you're a senior member on the forum. It will at least keep people away from you while your shopping for groceries.

I am indeed an old guy.
I don't know if I smell old 'au naturale', because I liberally douse my self regularly with Skin Bracer, or Clubman, or Aqua Velva, or Old Spice!
Though I am still free of the adult diapers, I can't say that the farts previously mentioned don't come into play.
LOL
That was more than I was expecting. Let's hope never on the diapers. I hope I don't smell too bad but I do take heart healthy garlic pills. I do like the products you mentioned, if that makes me smell old, so be it. Let it fill your nostrils and get stuck in there for hours.I have and wear all of these, some more than others. Old men smell good.
It's amazing to me how many Old Spice gift sets I got, and me Da got, back in the day.... I don't think he or I hardly ever opened them up! Now I love the stuff.
Sure wish I had those countless sets today! I'd be an eBay millionaire doggone!
Perfectly phrased answer my friend.
I was wearing Old Spice in my twenties, and at 64 I’m still wearing Old Spice. I like it. Anyone who doesn’t, and thinks I smell like an “Old Man” can p!&& off! Now get off my lawn….
