Bulgari pour Homme by Bulgari
Crisp and classy - one of the best scents for the office or when traveling. Awesome, awesome, awesome. The tea note is fabulously played here.

Égoïste / L'Égoïste by Chanel
This is a particular kind of scent, and I don't mean the broad category but rather the actual mix of notes, that I just don't find appealing at all. So I'm going neutral on it, although I no longer own it and would not personally wear it at any time.

Contradiction for Men by Calvin Klein
One of the best CK scents I have owned, and I have probably owned too many of them. This is a good one, not too floral - just right for a guy and suitable for anytime wear. It's just a really nice scent - although a little non-descript I suppose. Recommended for anyone just getting into colognes - suited for the younger set as most CK colognes are.

Very Sexy for Him 2 by Victoria's Secret
Less powdery than Very Sexy for Him 1. In fact, this scent may actually be better, or at least more versatile. Like VS1 - the scent makes you feel comfortable and intimate. Also like VS1, there is really to discernable progression. However, the issue with VS2, and the reason you may see it available at a discount, is because it has very poor sillage and you have to frequently reapply. So it's really not that practical of a buy - you could almost think of it as an aftershave in terms of stamina. I have to go neutral because it does not last, but don't be afraid to pick it up as long as you are aware of this and can find occasion to work around the shortcoming. So VS1 is more powdery, VS2 is more fresh but not nearly as long lasting.

Very Sexy for Him by Victoria's Secret
Is quite powdery, but there is enough freshness underneath it to where a guy can wear it and not feel emasculated. Girls like it, and it's nice for lounging around at night at home with your other. I would not wear it out at night or out during the day. It has adaquate staying power, but there is little to no progression - WYSIWYG. For a moderately priced cologne, it's a nice pickup.

B*Men by Thierry Mugler
Outstanding and a bit of a sleeper I suppose. Give it a shot, even if you did not like Amen you may like this - it's not as aggressive as Amen, is more masculine, and has a nice progressive drydown. The best part is that is still has the signature of Amen - it just comes at you from a different angle - less candy, a little more masculine - a winner for the winter.

Crave by Calvin Klein
Terrible - no complexity AND it smells bad. Truly one of the worst I have ever owned. The bottle is atrocious as well. Do not buy under any circumstance - if you are interested in this type of scent, there are surely fragrances that are similar but far superior. A disaster from CK for sure.
