If so he isn\u2019t alone. A new survey has revealed that a third of Dads over the age of 40 have worn the same make of aftershave for more than 20 years!<\/p>\n<p>Research into Father\u2019s Day fragrance trends by www.perfumedirect.com has revealed that men more than women tend to stick to what they know and like when it comes to their signature scent \u2013 much like they do their beer and cars, suggesting they are more creatures of habit than their female counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>While 35% of Dads questioned say they have been wearing the same aftershave for 20 years, one in ten began wearing the fragrance they still spritz today in the 80s and 90s. Just 18% wear a different aftershave every year and are not loyal to a certain product.<\/p>\n<p>On average the men questioned have used just six different aftershaves in the past 20 years. Half claim that they only use a different aftershave if it is given as a gift.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, only 21% of women in the same age group have worn their signature scent for more than 20 years, with most switching to a new favourite every ten years, but females have tried more than double the number of new fragrances within this time.<\/p>\n<p>Most women have on average between two and three bottles of perfume open at a time &#8211; one or two for everyday and one for going out. While 61% of men use one fragrance at a time (versus 13% women).<\/p>\n<p>With Father\u2019s Day just around the corner (21 June), the poll of 1,890 UK adults found that almost three quarters of men like to receive aftershave as a gift but that 62% complained that they have received a fragrance present \u2018that was awful\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>69% of women say that they would like their partner to switch up his smell, with a staggering 37% admitting that they don\u2019t actually really like their partner\u2019s choice of fragrance. Almost a quarter of men are not really bothered about how they smell.<\/p>\n<p>A further suggestion that men are \u2018creatures of habit\u2019, men\u2019s tendency to stick to the same aftershave is mirrored by their beer drinking habits. When quizzed a massive 76% said they now only buy the same brand of booze having discovered it\u2019s what they like and 44% said they have a preferred brand of clothing. Eight out of 10 prefer to also keep to the same make of car, 56% just changing the model under their preferred marque.<\/p>\n<p>Father\u2019s Day Fragrances Through the Decades<\/p>\n<p>If your Dad loves a classic, he may still be wearing one of the iconic male scents from the past five decades. It may have even been a Father\u2019s Day present \u2018back in the day\u2019. And in fact, many of the cult fragrances making the list are still best sellers today according to www.perfumedirect.com.<\/p>\n<p>In Perfume Direct\u2019s vote for the most iconic male scents of the past five decades, following on from Brut\u2019s dominance of the 1970s, the male fragrance of the 80s, remembered by most respondents in this decade, is Kouros. This is closely followed by the timeless Dior Fahrenheit, which boomed in the 80s. The stand-out scents of the 90\u2019s were the fresh notes of Davidoff Cool Water and L\u2019eau d\u2019Issey Pour Homme. Moving into the noughties, Allure Homme Sport was voted as the smell that defined the decade and in 2010 both Creed\u2019s Aventus and Bleu de Chanel tied at the top as the aftershaves of this time.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting, Jonny Webber of Perfume Direct says: \u201cOf course there is a lot to be said for Dads having a signature scent, as he will have a \u2018certain smell\u2019 that will always remind you of him. Our sense of smell is closely linked to our emotions and memories \u2013 so buying Dad a scent you love is actually a great idea!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also easy to see why some of the male fragrances first launched even 40 years ago are still favoured by so many, despite the launch of scores of new scents every year. Some fragrances are just ones that stand out as timeless classics, such as Fahrenheit and Davidoff Cool Water, which \u2013 perhaps unlike Dad \u2013 don\u2019t seem to age!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if it\u2019s time to bring Dad up to date with a more current fragrance for Father\u2019s Day this year we have two pieces of advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those who want to play it safe, you can keep to the same fragrance family to the one your Dad prefers. These are generally categorised as fresh, floral, woody or oriental.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a fresh aftershave try Mont Blanc Legend Spirit (\u00a317.99), for Floral Thierry Mugler Alien (\u00a354.99); a great men\u2019s Woody fragrance is Hugo Boss Bottled (\u00a337.99) and in the oriental family we suggest, Hugo Boss Dark Blue (\u00a325.99).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlternatively, five fragrances will be a sure fire hit with Dads this year if they don\u2019t already reside in his bathroom cabinet, include Dior Sauvage (\u00a359.99), Tom Ford Black Orchid (\u00a352.99), Jimmy Choo Man (\u00a321.99), Calvin Klein Dark Obsession (\u00a319.99) and Paco Rabanne Invictus (\u00a355.99).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jonny added: \u201c\u201cWhether you opt for something brand new or opt for an iconic scent, aftershave and the memories that it can evoke, is the perfect gift for Father\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writer Gary Greenberg (also a rugby enthusiast!) is releasing his bubbly + humorous book this summer titled: The Beer Diet: How to Drink Beer and Not Gain Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-624591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"984\" \/><br \/>\nGary Greenberg was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. He attended Penn State University where he majored in rugby, beer and coeds, and miraculously graduated with a B.A. degree in journalism in 1976. He has now been writing professionally for more than 40 years, primarily as an award-winning newspaper reporter and editor. Since 1999, he has owned and operated the freelance writing service SuperWriter, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t quite \u201clove at first sip\u201d when Gary was given a warm Miller High Life at age fourteen, but as an adult he quickly learned to appreciate the complex flavors of fine ales, and the warm and fuzzy feelings they impart. Upon hitting middle age, his beer consumption contributed to a slow but steady weight gain. Tapping into his knowledge of natural health, he adjusted his diet and lifestyle in ways that allow him to drink plenty of beer without gaining weight. In The Beer Diet, he reveals how he did it, and how others can have their beer and waistlines, too.<\/p>\n<p>When Gary isn\u2019t writing, he still enjoys an occasional game of rugby, brewing his own beer, traveling off the beaten path, and hanging out at his Boca Raton, Florida, home with his eternally beautiful wife Nora. They have a grown son Glen as well as an assortment of pets, currently a rescue dog named Roxanne, birds Baba and Olaf, turtles Stella and Dottie, and bearded dragon lizard Klaus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does Dad struggle to find clothes that fit&#8230; Very Tall, Very Broad Shoulders&#8230; massive thighs&#8230; check this out &gt;&gt; www.bigclothing4u.co.uk &#8220;Does what it says on the tin!
