Fragrance Reviews by scentaddiction

This is great. It is Terre Hermes with no chest hair in the drydown. My wife likes it as well, and she tells me it is made for women. It is the longest lasting green fragrance since Green Jeans, but no pine sol here.

Horrible. Ralph Lauren has produced nothing of note since the original Polo....I say that, and I am only 30 years old. Polo sport was for kids, Polo Blue had some summertime value, Romance sucks, Romance silver had a bit of blackberry potential, but it's longevity was worse that its Classic Match counterpart, and now this rubbing alcohol with a hint of acetone should land Lauren in the Stetson aisle. Wal-Mart will be pleased.

If your fear of lipstick is preventing you from buying this cologne, then sample it next time you are out. The lipstick is a fleeting annoyance, but the drydown is a thick suede. Very manly once the lipstick rubs off....

This is the warmest cologne I have ever smelled. The diversity of scents in the Gaultier line is spectacular. Le Male, Fleur du Male, and Gaultier2 smell nothing alike.

Gaultier2 is opens with a cloud of Vanilla, but it settles into a thick amber. It is wonderful, just do not buy the 40ml bottle, it will go too quickly.

The sillage is great, but its longevity is nowhere near Le Male, which is confusing as it is an EdP. Sample it. If you do not enjoy it, sample it again. I think it took me three tries, but I am now hooked.

Francis Kurkdjian has made some of my favorite scents of late. This stuff is nauseatingly stuffy right out of the bottle. It almost seems like someone sprayed it on cotton balls and them shoved them up your nose.

But....if you can get past that, the drydown will last for hours, and the scent seems more manly. I am amazed that Kurkdjian could make this scent, followed by Narciso Rodriguez. Rodriguez screams, "I am here and I am a sweaty man." Fleur du Male screams, "I am here, but I might be gay." ---but if you are confident in your masculinity, you can pull off either one.

This is a good summer scent. It is not the longest lasting cologne, but that was expected, paying only 41.00 for 100ml. It has a powdery base which long outlasts the citrus that it opens with. Lasts about four hours on my skin, which I am happy with, given the fact that it is l'eau d'ete.

Two kinds of people like this scent: Old men, and enthusiasts. Who dislikes this fragrance? Women.
I must start by stating that I love this cologne. It is distinguished, original, bold, and incredibly long lasting. In fact, I would say that it is probably as long-lasting as Antaeus, although you can wash Kouros off.
There seems no mention of Tonka as a base in the basenotes pyramid, but my nose smells it.
I wear this not only because I love its 3-dimensional quality, but because it has been on the market for over 25 years, yet I have never smelled it on anyone else. Have you?

Disappointing top notes that are rescued by a smooth suede drydown that is subtle enough for any occasion. Neither as collegiate as Acqua Di Gio, nor as distinguished as Code, but it has a 30-year old appeal that is worth a try.

The aniseed and absinthe predominate, not unlike LLempicka for women. It is long-lasting and very original. Might be a tad strong for some. If it is too much, one might prefer Kenzo Air instead. Both with aniseed, but Air is much more easy in crowds.

Classic. Like this fragrance or not, you must respect its undeniable originality. It smells of lighter fluid and motor oil, but the lemon-sweet top notes tone it down enough to enjoy out of the bottle. Women seem to love it, and my wife still says it is her favorite. This is a must own for anyone who considers himself an enthusiast.

I received this as a gift in 1995 from a friend in France. I used to love it, but since 1999 I seem to drown in the sillage left by pierced teenagers wearing fur-lined hooded jackets in almost every damned mall in America. But, this is not the fault of JPG.
It is warm right out of the bottle, and the vanilla/tonka bean lasts until you bathe the next morning. It is worthy of a purchase, just avoid malls on Friday nights.

I am almost ashamed to say that I bought this frag. I realize now that my attraction to it was in its similarity to D and G for men, although it is probably more similar in quality to Realities for men. If you do buy this, please, please salvage some pride and rip the sticker of Fabio off the back. Seriously.

I first bought this in the summer of 1996 while living in Marseilles. The empty bottle has remained in my collection in an attempt to remind me to buy it again. Last week I did. This frag is perhaps the best suede straight out of the bottle, and the grapefruit on top makes it suitable for summer and winter wear. Lasts about 4 hours on my skin. I would recommend.
