Franck Oliver by Franck Oliver

Franck Oliver I believed is also called Montecristo Habana which is what I have, I am not sure what all the notes are but htere is bergamot, coriander ,tobbaco.and others, the scent is very distinctive, there is strong leather note that is mixed with tobacco and some sort of liquer. it kind reminds me a bit of fendi oumo,but I think its better, its very refined, smells like it should be very expensive..hard to find..if anyone is interested I have an extra bottle sill in the box! let me know if intersted

Pontaccio 21 by Gianfranco Ferré

Not many people seems to know much about this scent, I discovered this a 4 years ago in GQ magazine, they listed it as being "very provacative" which is true, its very italian, sort of citussy,-leathety-floral, people notice you when you wear this one...its nothing like aramis

Animale Animale for Men by Animale Parfums

After being curious about this fragrance for a year I finaly found it, immediately I thought it was a wonderful scent, people compare it to Angel, bu in fact Angel should be compare to Animale, since it was the first Gourmand scent released back in 1993, that being said, its no where as nausiating as Angel, it has less sweetness than angel, and has a luxurious smell to it, if you like a like a fragrance like Yohji, you will probably like this one..It's a unknown jewel.

Vetyver Uomo by Malizia

Malizia, I was told was a very popular scent may years ago, the scent is a different twist on vetiver, its's nothing like Guerlain's vetiver it's very Italian, the first time I smelled it I was blown away. Nowadays its not very expensive, try it!

Super Time Bomb by Pierre Laussey

I came accross this fragrance 2 years ago, I sample it ...2 years later I just bought it. It's a very light fragrance..It starts up smelling sort of like Jean Paul Gaulthier, but then takes on its own character.more woodier than JPG, I like better than JPG..its hard to find

Yang by Jacques Fath

I bought this fragrance on the account of Ruslan's review along with some other comments at pefumeemporium, all I can say is Ruslan's was dead on, when I walk by people, They stop and turn around, I had this one woman followed to smell what I was wearing..Only Miilsime Imperial ever garner such attention

Lomani by Lomani

I sampled Lomani recently, its a sort of refreshing scent, Its lavender ambery
and spicy with wood. The thing found was the dry-down bears some similarities
to Duc de Vernis, although not quite as complex or refine, anyway that is still good; its not very expensive either.

Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren

I am not a great fan of Ralph Lauren Fragrances, except for the Original Polo
But I recently sampled Polo blue.its alright but the funny thing is that there is a company called AXE they make anumber of lines of bodyspray, I am not sure if the company is American or British but the bodysprays are quite good and inexpensive, anyhow, one of the fragrance on the line is called TSUNAMI and it has an uncanny resemblance to Polo blue, I even did a test where I spray some each on separate hands and compare..AXE TSUNAMI cost $7, I collect fragrances too, I bought it 2 yrs ago..before blue was release...My point..its good but does not have the distinction of the original POLO
