 | Pharos by Alain DelonSeemingly unremarkable but long-lasting aquatic.However the fruity notes at the top and woods at the base make this just that little bit special, like all of Delon's fragrances. 5th July, 2008. |
| | Anucci Man by AnucciMmm!To my nose very similar to Safari,and that's a good thing,but now we're playing golf instead of polo (just look at that bottle)! 5th July, 2008. |
| | Moustache by RochasWeird!Weird!Weird!This fragrance has a surreal air which is initially quite disturbingThe strangest of openings,as if someone had urinated into a bucket of fermenting fruit or maybe the scent of some extraterrestrial creature on heat.Just as all this is becoming too much, a comforting powdery floral middle takes over (renminiscent of Alexander Julien's Colours) and you breathe a sigh of relief thinking that you are now on much safer ground.Then all of a sudden aaaargh!-the citrus and bodily fluid combination kicks back in the drydown in a menacingly sexual way,leaving you disturbed but exhiliarated. 1st July, 2008. |
| | Isis for Men by Marks and SpencerVery nicely done (like most things from Marks and Sparks).A classic fragrance in every way with a simple invigorating opening,through an unexpectedly robust and spicy middle of pepper and lavender to an elegant drydown of melon,citrus and coriander. 30th June, 2008. |
| | Shogun by Alain DelonGorgeous sweet citrus and floral oriental that's more upbeat than the original Samourai but weightier than Samourai 47. 15th June, 2007. |
| | Indentite pour Homme by René LezardWarm vanilla and spice oriental that makes me go "Mmmm".Very similar to Yves Rocher's Hoggar and equally as complex but altogether smoother and better balanced.Drydown is like a coffee and caramel take on D&GPH.Yum! 8th June, 2007. |
 | Arber by Body ShopLinear replica of Ungaro 3.Nowhere near as subtle,but good for the money. 8th June, 2007. |
| | Tempore Uomo by Laura BiagiottiWonderful,complex and surprising.Unremarkable citrus aquatic opening leading into an astonishing tobacco and chocolate drydown reminiscent of a harder hitting Conran Man. 8th June, 2007. |
| | Red for Men by Giorgio Beverly HillsHard-hitting superchypre.Lovely almost majestic fragrance but why oh why would I pay £75 for it when I can get the equally weighty Fendi Uomo for £10? 6th June, 2007. |
| | Krizia Uomo by KriziaHeavyweight green and aquatic chypre in the same class as Fendi Theorema Uomo.I detect juniper and coriander seed with a distinct note of pine in the drydown, reminiscent of an antisceptic that the school nurse might have dabbed on a graze 40 years ago.Mmmm... 31st May, 2007. |
 | Fleur du Male by Jean Paul GaultierSmells like fart-spray and hospitals.Definitely not good! 27th May, 2007. |
| | Nomadic Him by OriflameVery similar to M7 (maybe that's the agarwood,which I'm told is an aphrodisiac.I did get lots of compliments from women when I wore M7).Woody,leathery and maybe a hint of caramel.Suitably heavy and long-lasting for something so grand.This is absolutely lush! 25th May, 2007. |
| | Hoggar by Yves RocherSo complex it's surreal!Chemical opening like A*Men moves quickly into citrus oriental and finally settles down to something akin to a vanilla and fruit D&GPH with a hint of camphor. 25th May, 2007. |
| | Man of Aran by Burren PerfumeryLovely opening of sour fruits drying down to a simple but intelligent aquatic and citrus accord with maybe a hint of licqourice.Reminiscent of Trussardi Jeans except that TJ is too heavy-handed whereas this frag is elegant,beautiful and full of Celtic sparkle! 24th May, 2007. |
| | Jasper Conran Man by Jasper ConranOpens like cigarette-ends in the bottom of a coffee cup.Tobacco lasts into the drydown which reminds me of warm PVC,sweetening with time. 22nd May, 2007. |
| | Hot Play by LacosteI agree with kennyken on this one.Very fruity,lots of grapefruit but generic and unimaginative.Safe and pleasant but nothing more... 17th May, 2007. |
| | Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme by Dolce & GabbanaD&GPH meets Del Mar in a generic,inoffensive and disappointing way.I can see this one being very popular,but nothing to get excited about... 5th May, 2007. |
| | Boss Soul by Hugo BossVery similar to Del Mar and equally dull. 28th April, 2007. |
| | Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme by Dolce & GabbanaComplex and beautiful!Starts out with a great wave of sage and mandarin but dries down into an astonishing accord of spice,citrus and aquatics. 24th April, 2007. |
| | Samouraï 47 by Alain DelonTo my nose very similar to the original (and fantastic!) Samourai but altogether younger,lighter and fruitier. 21st April, 2007. |
| | Samouraï by Alain DelonFresh and deliciouswith a fruity,creamy opening.The fruit lasts but combines with floral and leather notes (maybe the tarragon)on the drydown reminding me of Joop but more complex. 18th April, 2007. |
| | Trussardi Jeans Men by TrussardiSickly sweet orange treacle.Lasted forever and gave me a headache. 13rd April, 2007. |
| | Mémoire d'Homme by Nina RicciAll topnotes and no trousers!An initial wave of grapefruit and something a bit like pencil-lead but nothing to back it up.So week as to be barely detectable and,on my skin,vanished without a trace in 20 minutes.a complete waste of time.Nice bottle though... 13rd April, 2007. |
| | Ungaro III by UngaroWondered if this could possibly live up to its great reviews.Clean but unremarkable topnotes made me think I would be disappointed but I soon realised that they formed a beautifully understated prelude to the astonishing drydown.What followed were waves of rose petals,incense and vanilla with a strangely compelling sour tone and,on my skin,considerable staying power. 13rd April, 2007. |
| | Envy for Men by GucciDelicious fragrance that's sexy,masculine and sophisticated but on my skin didn't last at all.If only this were heavier I would wear nothing else... 13rd April, 2007. |
| | Black XS by Paco RabanneMmmm!One of my absolute favourites.I like heavy,powerful scents and this is cheeky with it.Lots of strawberry,citrus,cream and rose.On me this one lasted and lasted.Brash but also fairly complex with a nice contrast between the start and the drydown,like a day-glo version of Ungaro III (which I find similar but way more mature and sophisticated).All in all a very sensual experience.Sexy! 12nd April, 2007. |
| | M7 by Yves Saint LaurentSensual,leathery and dry with a medicinal quality that I'd encountered before in Joop!On me it lasts and lasts.I'm told that agarwood is an aphrodisiac and I certainly got lots of positive comments from the opposite sex when I was wearing this!One of my favourites. 12nd April, 2007. |
| | Colours for Men by Alexander JulianCreamy,sweet and flowery,my fiancee says it smells like talcum powder.Warm and almost edible.I like this for occasional wear but a bit too cloying for everyday use.An unusual and vibrant masculine fragrance. 12nd April, 2007. |
