Buying a gift ~ Need a quick response!

I am going shopping shortly for a birthday gift for my dad. I want to buy him a very 'good' (read: expensive' ) cologne, but I don't have time to smell them all.

Can anyone recommend a few for me to test?? Aqua di Gio is out because that's what Patrick wears.

Thank you!

Ralph Lauren Polo Blue smells great...

Jeff wears Ralph Lauren's 'Romance' It is nice, but I don't know if the name itself is something you want to give your Dad.

Hmmm....my stepdad wears Dolce & Gabanna for Men and Micheal for Men by Michael Kors (both on the more $$$ side!)

HTH!

Claud, I am roaring with laughter about your comment on Romance... it's SO true! He'd probably laugh at the connotation of the name, but I STILL don't want to go there.

Aside from, that Patrick also wears Romance from time to time, and I would rather my dad and DH had their own distinct smell.

I will definitely check out Michael Korrs, D&G, and Polo Blue though.
Thanks for your help! my dad's birthday is tomorrow, and my nickname isn't Last Minute Lucy for nothing!!!

Jenn I agree with you....I would not want Jeff wearing anything that smelled like my stepdad OR my brothers, for that matter...or, even an Ex!

ps - we MISSED YOU yesterday at JA's bday bash! It was a blast, but you were missed!

I'm still so upset that I couldn't go to JA's party!!!

I'm glad it was great though. I can't wait to see pictures!

I forgot to add that I just got back from the world's quickest trip to the mall, and my dad is soon to be the proud owner of Michael Kors cologne, after shave and deodorant. Thanks again for your suggestions!

How well you know me!

I was halfway home when I remembered the card! It's been bought, and I'm ready for our 3:00 dinner reservation!
