GFT by Geo F Trumper
Tried GFT initially from a sample sent by Trumper. Have since purchased two bottles! Everything gets compared to everything else, so let me state unequivocally that I believe GFT to be the best citrus scent on the market. While strong initially, it is never overpowering. Unlike most of this class, it lasts the whole day! The middle and base notes, which make or break any fragrance, seem to be in perfect balance, thus enhancing rather than modifying the original citrus notes. The result is that GFT smells (almost) as good at the end of the day as when you first spray it on. It exudes both class and refinement. While somewhat expensive, at least you know that you are getting what you pay for since by default, GFT must contain a high percentage of essential oils. An additional plus is that on this side of the pond, you will not smell like anyone (or everyone) else!

1903 by J Peterman
I hope that nobody reads this. Why, you ask? Because, I have "discovered" one of the most complex, interesting, powerful, and intoxicating scents currently being sold. I have obviously not tried them all, but have tried many over the years and have owned more than enough to justify this lofty opinion. Beyond that, whenever I wear 1903, people (women in particular!) stop me cold and ask (demand would describe the experience better) for the name of what I'm wearing. Usually and reluctantly, I'll give up my little secret and tell 'em! 1903 is only available from J. Peterman's online website, period. It is not discounted anywhere. It really is unique and long-lasting. No hyperbole is necessary. The base notes refuse to disappear on my body and clothes even 24 hours later. This despite calling itself a cologne. It represents Peterman's approach to fashion and style perfectly, assuming you know what that is! It is also available in a complimentary after shave balm and incredible shave cream. All products are not cheap, but priced fairly. I freely confess to taking a modicum of satisfaction from the thought that I possess something special that few others even know about, let alone own. That however, is also incredibly selfish. So now, the cat is out of the bag. Only now, someone will actually have to read this first!
