 | Bulgari Man by BulgariVery shrill, thin, unclothed Bulgari Homme Soir. Fits in the same category as Bleu de Chanel, which was also launched around this time. A 'smells nice in the office' woody-violet scent. Very safe, very middle management. 31st October, 2010. |
| | Blu Mediterraneo Tuscan Cypress / Cipresso di Toscana by Acqua di ParmaAcqua di Parma's mainstream aquatic line with a niche twist. Cipresso di Toscana is very agreeable. 14th August, 2010. |
| | Allure Homme Sport by ChanelCitrus - synthetic woody with a slight sweet vanillic aftertaste in the white musk bottom. Smells pleasant, like a mid-level manager. 1st August, 2010. |
 | Allure Homme Edition Blanche by ChanelA creamy lemon on a synthetic sandalwood base. Very Chanel Allure Homme-series. Smells like a mid-level manager in a multinational. 31st July, 2010. |
| | L'Eau de L'Artisan by L'Artisan ParfumeurLight inoffensive floral (synthetic) muskyness. Dries down to a slightly feminine base. Way overpriced, but if you got the budget and want to complete your L'Artisan collection: why not. 10th July, 2010. |
| | Idole de Lubin by LubinVery mellow, mild woody oriental with a saffron twist. 9th June, 2010. |
| | Fierce for Men by Abercrombie & FitchBig 'meh' after finally trying this one out. Not that it's a bad fragrance for teenagers or young adults, it's just that this theme, a woody aquatic, has been done before. 9th June, 2010. |
| | Live Jazz by Yves Saint LaurentAromatic, woody-citrus with a spearminty twist. 23rd May, 2010. |
| | Eau des Baux by L'OccitaneA vanilla-woody-almost gourmand. The cypress is featured prominently here, being a woody note that you haven't smelled that often before in other scents. 15th May, 2010. (Last Edited: 21st June, 2010.) |
| | Rose 31 by Le LaboVery light, transparant, soft woody-rose. I picture a rose in a sterile clean room when I smell this scent. Very different than the roses found in Hammam Bouquet, C&S No. 88 or Floris No 89 and the likes. 9th April, 2010. |
| | Bleecker Street by Bond No. 9Yeah, I don't know about Bond No. 9. They pump out fragrances that are barely more exciting than offerings from Axe/Lynx, but somehow when you smell it, you do detect layers and some form of complexity in it. 9th April, 2010. |
 | Dans Tes Bras by Editions de Parfums Frederic MalleModerately high pitched, slightly sweet, powdery floriental. Feminine, would be attractive when paired with the right woman / outfit. 3rd April, 2010. |
| | Bois d'Iris by Different CompanyVery sterile woody/iris/honey scent, like a high end store freshner. 3rd April, 2010. |
| | A Scent by Issey MiyakeStarts off very soapy. Dries down to a powdery synthetic floral. Meh. 11th March, 2010. |
| | Steam Aoud by MontaleI like this one, though I don't really care for most of the Montale line. It starts off with the smell that you know from freshly dried clothing out of your dryer. A bit of powdery detergent, and fabric softner. 28th January, 2010. |
| | Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d'OrangeOh I like. I own L'Occitane's Thé Vert au Jasmin, and Etat's Jasmin et Cigarette is the more mature, more indolic, slightly sweeter, slightly more oriental version of the L'Occitane. 23rd January, 2010. |
| | White Aoud by MontaleSweet, soft white musk. Very sensual, and would look better on a woman than a guy. Maybe some synthetic, non-indolic, powdery jasmine in the middle? 22nd January, 2010. |
| | Aoud Lime by MontaleThis one smells like how cleaner used to clean household utilities shops should smell. Or maybe something to freshen up the airconditioning in the shop. Very citrussy, and a slight, light oriental twist in the middle. Guess it's the aoud. 22nd January, 2010. |
| | Citrus Bigarrade by CreedCreed's version of the Aqua di <insert Italian city name> -like scents. 21st January, 2010. |
| | Baie de Genièvre by CreedI like it. You gotta smell this one on the skin, as it's a heavy scent. The basenotes of orientals don't seem to come off of paper that wel. 21st January, 2010. |
| | Vocalise by Maître Parfumeur et GantierFruity floral with winegum aspects. Nice if you like fruity florals and have the snobbery to go to niche for that. 9th January, 2010. |
| | Paestum Rose by Eau d'ItalieFresh, slightly sweet rose. Light woody, light balsem support. Nice for a summer or spring day. 22nd December, 2009. |
| | Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta by Acqua di ParmaLemon, neroli, woody base. Some sprinkles (salicylates?) in the background. Refined. Summer scent. Lacks the rose of the original. 22nd December, 2009. |
| | Japon Noir by Tom FordExcept for the opening Ginger note, this is heaven. Very, very good oriental. 10th December, 2009. |
| | LP No.9 for Men by Penhaligon'sA variation on Chanel's Platnum Egoiste. It's a minty, medicinal, vaporubby, spicy, woody oriental. I don't particulary care for it, but it's not vile either. I can see myself wearing this once or twice a year. 30th November, 2009. |
| | Bluebell by Penhaligon'sFlower in a bottle! 30th November, 2009. |
| | Un Jardin sur le Nil by HermèsHmm, the tartness of an unripe green mango in a bottle, on a bed of white musk. Very unisex, very summery. 28th November, 2009. |
| | Riverside Drive by Bond No. 9Peppermint, soft woods, white musks. Smells delightfully synthetic to me. 28th November, 2009. |
| | Amyitis by Mona di OrioSmells like warm fresh plastics. Child toys. Transformers that have been left on the heating maybe? 26th November, 2009. |
| | Blu Mediterraneo Capri Orange / Arancia by Acqua di ParmaReminds me of Chanel Allure Cologne Blanche, because it has a very unusual citrus note in the sense that the longevity is remarkable. This places it into synthetics territory, as the normal aldehydes of natural citrus will evaporate much quicker. 26th November, 2009. |
