Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet. Dixit Scotto: arrogance in a bottle.

[boboakalfb]

Blenheim Bouquet Shave Soap and Blenheim Bouquet EDT when I want to let them know whos boss.

Blenheim, in my opinon is too girly to be "THE" arrogant scent..... too much lavender and too soft.

I think Brooks Brothers 1818, Taylor Mr. Taylors, Knize Ten, Trumpers Spanish Leather - hell, even Trumpers GFT - are quite a bit more arrogant/aristocratic.

Blenheim Bouquet smells like what a regal, aristocratic person would wear on the weekends to me. It's more relaxed, maybe it's the citrus component. That is definitely not a bad thing! I don't know what I'd consider a "power scent" though.

[moses]

Likewise, I'm in the Blenheim is too relaxed for that camp. Unlike Joel, I think it is the anti-girly. But it is somehow to bright and outdoorsy to be called "regal."

My vote, on my limited experience, is solidly behind Brooks Brothers 1818. That's a courtroom fragrance for when you know you are going to crush you opponent...

Seriously? I don't get that at all. It reminds me of youth.

Floris No. 89 or Blenheim Bouquet would get my vote

Well, you know my opinion on the BB, but I do agree on the #89. That stuff just oozes blue blood arrogance....

Something presumptuously-expensive -- let's say, ummm, Green Irish Tweed, by Creed. Did I mention that it must be of British or French origin/manufacture?

[moses]

Green Irish Tweed, by Creed.

Presumptuously expensive it is, but to me it does not smell remotely presumptuous or stuffy.

Yeah , BB does have that citrusy, outdoor feel. To me though it evokes more of a grouse shoot with a matched pair of Purdys.

Perhaps a bit of a schitzophrenic question ... "aristocratic" strikes me as a "landed gentry" thing ... fox hunts and a range rover. Blenheim Bouquet.

"CEO" sounds more "big business powerhouse" so maybe K-10.

I always took "stuffed shirt" to be an insult for a pompous ass who took himself too seriously and liked the sound of his own voice, so ... I'd have to find a cologne I didn't much like.

Oi!!!

Van Cleef & Arpels: very solid indded!

I got a soft spot for the original Paco Robanne and Armani as well.

[Bricktop]

BB has the rep for aggression, but for "aristocratic" I love Tiffany for Men. Pure class for important business or evening use.

[Dennis]

I would vote for Eucris myself.

[mental]

Floris No. 89 was what came to mind when considering something regal and aristocratic. I can envision walking into some posh private club, filled with Lords and Barons and such, and having it smell like that. Smells like old money.
