Secrets D'Essences Voile d'Ambre by Yves Rocher
I agree that the craftsmanship of this Yves Rocher juice is better than most, but I have to strongly disagree that it is a "womanly" fragrance!
This is a great everyday scent for anyone who might enjoy a nice citrusy amber with a clean powdery dry down. It is quite unisex (whatever that means) and is appropriate for any occasion. There is a definite warmth that exudes from my skin when I wear this.

Brit Gold by Burberry
I recently found this at Marshall's for $20.00 and bought it on a whim. An I'm glad I did. Although it has a sharp, bitter, almost oppressive opening, the dry down (which begins almost immediately on my skin) is a wonderful sweet amber/sandalwood scent that lasts for hours.

Musk by Santa Maria Novella
A great musk - although a tad on the "powdery" side. I find myself reaching for this scent when nothing else seems right. The dry down is really beautiful. I always get compliments when I wear this.

Gaultier² by Jean Paul Gaultier
This fragrance is a beautifully crafted contridiction of aromas......it is sweet and spicey, soothing and jarring....everything "feminine", yet surprisingly "masculine". It sometimes annoys me with its simplicity, other times, its subtle changes on my skin intoxicate my senses. I find myself gravitating tpwards this scent time and time again. Quite astonishing.

Voleur de Roses by L'Artisan Parfumeur
This is very complex. A bit strong at first, but the dry down is wonderful....earthy and sensual - and surprisingly masculine. The rose is very understated yet strong enough to balance the patchuli. Quite nice.

Pure Lavande by Azzaro
I'm not sure about this one.....although it does have a "cleanliess" to its composition, it's over-powering and slightly dated....it smells like senior prom in the early '80's.

Kiehl's Original Musk by Kiehl's
This musk is senual and warm.....it goes on strong and mellows only slightly in the drydown. It smells "human", I consider Kiehl's Original Musk to be more of a skin-scent. I notice that people are more friendly when I wear it....strange, but true.

Musc Ravageur by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle
A wonderful scent - fresh and medicinal at first. The dry down is mellow, remotely sweet and very sexy. Although the spicy notes remain present thoughout the fragrances' duration, their subtle manipulation with the lavender and vanilla is most astonishing. A fantastic "unisex" fragrance - clean/spicy/sweet.
