Immense pour Homme by Jean-Louis Scherrer

This is an refreshing fragrance with one drawback, the lasting power isn't all that great . I can't think of anything that has fig in it that i don't like anyway.
05 December 2005

Chemistry by Clinique

A decent, nothing complicated type scent. Something you could wear everyday, but not something i would wear out with my wife.
05 December 2005

Bazar Homme by Christian Lacroix

Very sharp topnote. Smells somewhat like subtil, by salvatore ferragamo, and the new polo black.
05 December 2005

Fath Pour l'Homme by Jacques Fath

Man this stuff is so sweet you could almost drink it out of the bottle, but in a good way. Lasts all day.
02 December 2005

Yang by Jacques Fath

This is very well put together fragrance. Deep, dark ,and mysterious, and declaration copied this, or was declaration first?
02 December 2005

Green Water by Jacques Fath

Green garbge. How can anything this old not have any staying power. Then again why would anyone want to smell like a cheap tonic prepared for sore throats?
02 December 2005

Baldessarini Del Mar by Baldessarini

Another sleeper, this smells like they revamped their aqua cologne and mixed in a little Vera Wang to create an awesome fragrance
02 December 2005

Elements Aqua by Hugo Boss

Man this is really a nice aquatic watery type fragrance. Underestimated, and smooth at the same time.So much fresher than alot of stuff on the market that is supposed to be fresh.
02 December 2005

Baldessarini by Baldessarini

This is elegance in a bottle indeed. A nice fougre, chyrpe type fragrance with the masculinity still present.
02 December 2005

Elements by Hugo Boss

I didn't think too much of it, but I recieved alot of compliments on this at work. therefore I will give a thumbs up based upon fan review.
02 December 2005

Coriolan by Guerlain

This is kind of bitter and for all of ingredients listed, there's just one prominent note that sticks out and messes this one up.
01 December 2005

Habit Rouge by Guerlain

This is a very sophisticated an elegant piece of work. I can't believe it was created that long ago, and still have so much depth to it. Two thumbs up!!!
01 December 2005

Rush for Men by Gucci

It took this mistake to get gucci Ph to be created the right way. Smells like a cedar chest, nothing else
30 November 2005

Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

I don't smell any of the other ingredients outside of the wooooooooooooooddddy smokiness, but it has to be there because i like this one for some reason.
30 November 2005

Clear Day for Men by Etienne Aigner

It is an allright fragrance, nothing to write home about,fresh clean like so many of the other fragrances out there right now.
30 November 2005

Cabaret Homme by Grès

Old school opening, very harsh and strong, but the new school comes through and saves this from being a mess.
30 November 2005

Pi by Givenchy

The sweetest thang since my wife, supersweet yet strong enough for a man to wear, and smell good and get lot's of complements.
30 November 2005

Insensé by Givenchy

This is an O.K. fragrance, not a showstopper or nothing but a decent fragrance.
30 November 2005

Very Irrésistible for Men by Givenchy

Man this is some awesome stuff... A contrast on sharp and mellow. I love the hazelnut and mocha, that is what makes this fragrance the BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
30 November 2005

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

It's o.k. I mean I was expecting so much more due to all the raves and hype. Doesn't smell like curve as i've heard so many people say. O.K.
29 November 2005

Chic for Men by Carolina Herrera

Well made. I'm really starting to dig the whole line from herrera, they are making everybody else step up their game.
29 November 2005

Silver Black / Onyx by Azzaro

DA BOMB! Starts out fruity and soon thereafter develops into something mysterious and dark, somewhat like the black bottle of jacomo, but so much better!!!!
29 November 2005

Visit by Azzaro

Another smash hit by azzaro. Excellent colder weather fragrance, or that night out with your lady, or that sunday go to meeting special.
29 November 2005

Pure Lavande by Azzaro

A nice and mellow scent that plays close to your skin and leaves a fresh waft after you walk by.
29 November 2005

Dunhill by Alfred Dunhill

No big deal, so I thought. Maaaannnnnnnnnyyy compliments when i wear this one. Almost time for me to purchase another bottle.
29 November 2005

Aramis Life My Summer by Aramis

OH man some of the stinkiest stuff ever captured in a bottle.A major letdown compared to the sucess of the first one.
29 November 2005

Aramis Bermuda Tonic by Aramis

Man, this is some good juice in this bottle. Speaking of which, the colors on this bottle is cool but that same bottle shape is dead now.Step up yo game.
29 November 2005

Aramis Cool by Aramis

This is very nice and fresh cologne. That wears very well in the summertime, but you can get away with wearing it on some cooler days also.
29 November 2005

Bowling Green by Geoffrey Beene

Now this is alot better than it's predecessor, GREY FUNNEL or whatever the name of that stuff. This is a nice and vetiver type fragrance which develops very nicely on the wearer.
29 November 2005

Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene

The strongest stuff to date to ever hit the market. I dont smell any orange, purple or anything else for that matter, when you want to offend, wear this.
29 November 2005

Paris Hilton for Men by Paris Hilton

personally i think it's ok. These stars and models are really stepping up their game in the fragrance industry. Namely that last one Brittany Spears put out for women is the most intoxicating thing iv'e ever smelled for a women, oh i'm sorry were talking about Paris Hilton for a man right?
26 October 2005

Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani

definately a sunday go to meeting bottle, elegant indeed!!!!!!1

old school, still some very good stuff. paul smith resembles this somewhat, but not as potent , or longlasting.
21 February 2005

L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme by Guerlain

I really like this, mostly because i love VERA WANG and this smells absolutley like it, just a little more mellow,and light. MUST BE THE ANISEED.
17 February 2005

DKNY Be Delicious Men by Donna Karan

Good stuff!!!!!!!!!! Starts out more grapefruity than apple then slightly smells like ISSEY TOWARDS THE END.
11 February 2005

Argento pour Homme by Renato Balestra

seeing cedar as a top note kind of had me leery,but i took a chance and im very pleased. masculine but not overpowering,cant really say it smells like anything i own and i have alot of bottles,but its goooood.
04 February 2005

04 February 2005

Miracle Homme L'Aquatonic by Lancôme

They created a MONSTA with this one . AAAWWEEESSSOOOMMMME.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 January 2005

Lagerfeld Man by Lagerfeld

Daring and different, avoiding the norm of every other scent tending to smell the same.
03 January 2005

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

Its unreal how the ingredients stated make up the composition which is angel .The longest lasting thing on the market since grey flannel ,but that was garbage,while this is heavenly.
10 December 2004

Pure Vetiver by Azzaro

I dont know what that blue jay guy is talkin about , this stuff is only a couple notches off grey flannel when it comes to staying power.I wore about 3 months ago and went back to wear the shirt and this stuff was singing like i just sprayed it .HAITI GOT THE STRONGEST GREEN , VETIVER THAT IS.
22 November 2004

Azzaro pour Homme by Azzaro

Saw it around for years on end , but never liked the cheesy looking bottle.GOT OVER that and im glad i did. Exellent cologne that has definately withstood the test of time. 2thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!!!!
22 November 2004

Céline pour Homme by Céline

its not my number 1 fragrance, but hey i just got to work and was told twice already that i smell good.
22 November 2004

1881 by Cerruti

1881 is an underrated fragrance even in my fragrance arsenal. The first time i tried it ireally didnt give it an opporotunity to develop into the good fragrance that it really is.
15 November 2004

Morgan de Toi Homme by Morgan de Toi

Decent fragrance, soft subtle, then raises up another level. The atomizer is awesome,ive worn this now like 3 times and it looks like nothing is missing.
15 November 2004

Individuel by Mont Blanc

What About Adam by Joop!

SUPER-CITRUSEY fresh ,my wife hates this stuff.I have the shower gel and all and i come to bed all crispy fresh and my wife tells me i cant even hug her smellin like that. Shot the mood & everything, smells OK 2 ME.
12 November 2004

Nightflight by Joop!

They created this a bottle too late. It was asking too much to counter the first joop with something softer ,more mellow, when you think of joop you cant get that bright purplish-pink bottle or smell out of your mind.OH by the way this is good also.
12 November 2004

Joop! Homme by Joop!

Man i started alot of dudes wearing cologne when this came out. Ive outgrown it now but every blue moon i might pull it out .Actually my father-in-law made me hate it for a minute because he bathed in it for years and now he's grown up also but this guy just got transferred where i work wear it about 3 times a week, so im done with it . WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED!!!!!
12 November 2004

Paradox for Men Blue by Jacomo

VERY interesting scent. Jacomo out did themselves with this one. UNEXPLAINABLE BUT AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!
12 November 2004

Ambro by Jacomo

Ruslan hit it on the head with the comparison,but it does have it's own identity. A spicy ,peppery ,dry bite in this baby.
12 November 2004

Jacomo de Jacomo by Jacomo

Man this scent is garbage, i dont know how the fragrance notes blend to make this horrible scent , but it did. Smells like musty medicine,but i love everything else jacomo has put out.
12 November 2004

Hugo Dark Blue by Hugo Boss

Not an everyday fragrance, and more complex than i gave hugo credit for , A winner .
11 November 2004

Monsieur Musk by Dana

Man it doesnt cost that much for an investment such as this. I have a buddy who i was schooling on all the up to date stuff and he took me back to this.A HIDDEN GEM ! Dont let the ugly bottle fool you . MANY COMPLIMENTS.
11 November 2004

Destiny by Harley-Davidson

Very different scent, but not in abad way ,when iwant to avoid the norm destiny is what i put on.
11 November 2004

G Him by Gap

Very clean & fresh , much better than the TOMMY T FRAGRANCE.
11 November 2004

FCUK Him by French Connection

Dont pay attention to those other negative comments . If you only have 4 or 5 bottles ,no this may not be the one for you , but for the connesuirs out there who are tired of everything starting to smell the same, this one's a winner.
11 November 2004

Vetiver by Guerlain

Noble,elegant , and just downright gooood,this is some awesome smelling juice .Many compliments when i wear this one.
11 November 2004

Eau Torride by Givenchy

Nothing manly about this one. Sharp citrus opening and doesnt develop into anything else really .
11 November 2004

Insensé Ultramarine by Givenchy

fresh & crisp aquatic scent with lasting power. can even get away with wearing in cold weather.
11 November 2004

Man this starts out smellin like some kind of liquor or something , and i dont even drink.But then it unfolds into something awesome and different at the same time.
10 November 2004

Diesel Zero Plus by Diesel

very nice. Smells like jaipur by boucheron but so much cheaper, not in quality though.
10 November 2004

Diesel Plus Plus by Diesel

gets the job done, especially at the price i got it for , smells like desire red.
10 November 2004

Façonnable Homme by Façonnable

It's an OK fragrance, not the best, but not the lowest puppy on the pole.
12 October 2004

212 Men by Carolina Herrera

this scent is truly unique.Doesn't jump out yellin at you,but it gets the point across. My wife doesnt like it,and she's just about the only one who dont.

Casran by Chopard

08 October 2004

Angel Schlesser Homme by Angel Schlesser

decent, dry woody similar to marc jacobs ,then unfolds into something else and vanishes shortly after that.
08 October 2004

Tempore Uomo by Laura Biagiotti

how can all of these different 'notes' compile the same outcome as casran? If I had known they smell this much alike, I could have spent my money on something I dont have yet.Dont get me wrong,it's awesome,but if you already have casran,you already have this! nuff said!
05 February 2004

Legendary Harley-Davidson by Harley-Davidson

nothing to write home about,smells very similar to XS by paco rabonne
05 February 2004

New West for Him by Aramis

What's all the hype about to resurrect this particular scent. It's OK but thats it.I had some left over and I gave it to my 10yr.old son.When I started seeing all the hype I went back to see if I made A mistake in giving it away. I didn't. If they do relaunch,get rid of that cheesy bottle,and maybe A new name would'nt hurt. COLOGNE FORMERLY KNOWN AS ******##%&^^ or something.
20 July 2003

On El by J del Pozo

You gotta give this guy some credit.What's his name anyway? J something has hung around and has 3 decent scents under his belt.ON/EL is A great one for the summer days/nights.
18 July 2003

Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermès

Yea it's ok,just ride with the bottle with you because you'll need to refreshen up every 10 min. or so.I am kind of dissapointed thinking A fragrance this old would have some staying power.It's all grey flannel's fault why I think like that.
18 July 2003

Laguna Homme by Salvador Dali

Laguna is awesome!!!! NUFF-SAID.
11 July 2003

Trend pour Homme by Les Copains

I got beat on this one.I was in awe of the way the bottle looked on the web pages,and that's what sold me.Smells just like gucci RUSH,which was another disapointment also.All that shows up in this scent is wood-wood-wood.Maybe it's for termites.
10 July 2003

Diesel Green Masculine by Diesel

I had to get this one because of the bottle.It starts off smelling like that hard candy people put out at christmas,you know-all the different colors and shapes,but they all taste the same.Then it actually has A little depth after the initial reaction.
03 July 2003

Effusion for Him by Iceberg

Thumbs up and down. great scent,for every bit of the 15minutes it lasts.RIDE with it so you can freshen up every few minutes.

02 July 2003

GMV Uomo by Gian Marco Venturi

A decent fragrance which puts me in the mindframe of drakkar noir but this has more depth than drakkar.
02 July 2003

Mojo by Austin Powers by Gendarme

You can find this scent at gendarme.com,at A very nice price.I just received my bottle and I was kind of salty because it was A splash cologne.Other than that it's some nice smelling stuff which I will not wear until I buy A sprayer and transfer it.
02 July 2003

Britto Man by Romero Britto

I took A chance on this one,having never heard of this guy or smelling this anywhere.BANGO this one's A winner.Smells A tad bit LeMale-ish but sweeter,and I have not found any one who doesn't like that!

Golfer,NO-----Cologne connoisseur,YES.I don't no the guy,but this fragrance makes him alright with me.
02 July 2003

Desire Blue by Alfred Dunhill

21 April 2003

Présence by Mont Blanc
