Joop! Homme by Joop!
Pronounced 'Yope!', this has been one of my favourites for the last 19 years! It is a classic fragrance for the daring and dead-sexy-masculine if you're adventurous, bold and unique.
Not for the faint-hearted, my dears!

Brit Red by Burberry
This is really a shared fragrance as most of the composition is featured in masculine fragrances.
I love this fragrance and wish it wasn't a 'limited edition' - anyway if more people buy it, it just may stay on.

Lagerfeld Classic by Lagerfeld
I recently re-purchased this wonderfully classic '70s scent as a reminder of my youth and lo and behold; I was stunned to realise what a potent, sexy and masculine fragrance Lagerfeld Classic is all about.
I'm loving it all over again!

Versailles pour Homme by Jean Desprez
My all time favourite - a most unusual and lasting fragrance, something so rare and precious, I with they'd bring it back!
I think is was not very popular on the commercial men's market because it was too genteel, sexy, refined and sophisticated for the younger man.
It is definitely a scent for high-flyers who understand what ot means to be on top and with a cutting-edge.

Jules by Christian Dior
I remember this to be an evocative and masculine scent, purchased from Paris by my then partner. I was thrilled to have owned it and I must really have a nose for the woody/leather/oriental/aromatic scents and this is one of my favourites since it's creation.
I wish it was re-released commercially, but glad that it's still in production!

YSL pour Homme Haute Concentration by Yves Saint Laurent
Heady, sexy, daring,not for the faint-hearted, totally indulgent of the late 70's and so very, very Yves!
I was obsessed by YSL the Man, his work and influence in fashion and I adored this fragrance.

Lapidus pour Homme by Ted Lapidus
A stylish and daring Man's smell; delicious, masculine and very potent - sends me spinning when I wear it and I wish that more bolder men's fragrances like this one will come back in vogue on the commercial market again.

Ted Lapidus pour Homme by Ted Lapidus
I remember the late 70's when I used to wear this fragrance. The packaging, the bottle and the hauntingly retro scent remind me of a significant and wonderful era gone-by
I have recently been fortunate to find the successor to this fragrance with exactly the same name, but with a more sophisticated, bold and daring, sexy scent and futuristic, elegant bottle.

Polo Crest by Ralph Lauren
This was one of my favourite fragrances not available in Australia, but I used to buy in in Asia & USA when travelling. I like it as a companion scent to Polo Original.

Dead Sexy!!!!!
If you want to improve your chances of being noticed by either sex; this is the one. Sends shivers down my spine just thinking of it!

Bel Ami by Hermès
This was an all-time favourite of mine in the late 80's and still is - perfect fo rthe leather/spice/oriental fan like myself. I have seen this fragrance repeated in Commes de Garcons unisex fragrance as well.

Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent
I initially avoided buying this fragrance because as a great fan of the original KOUROS, I felt that this was a 'bodied' version trading on the original's name and targeted to a young audience - I was greatly wronged! After smelling it on other men, I realised what i was missing out on, so I am now a dedicated fan of this smouldering, sexy fragrance. It's strong "in your face" scent matches my personality and I urge lovers of stronger fragrances to give it a go.
