Vanderbilt for Men by Gloria Vanderbilt

Another Allure clone

Byblos Bamboo by Byblos

Smells like Eau De Cartier but less classy.

Gieffeffe by Gianfranco Ferré

A unisex fragrance that leans more towards the feminine side. More citrusy but shortelasting than another floral-based fragrance, Insense.

Ocean Pacific for Men by Ocean Pacific

The appearance of the juice is unique, consisting of a blue and lighter-colored liquid. Before spraying, you shake the bottle, but due to the viscocity of the juice, they soon separate when settled. The fragrance itself is mostly citrusy-floral. It doesn't last long because it is a cologne.

Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

Smells like a middle eastern or Indian bazaar, full of spices and very woody. Not for everyone.

Perry Ellis m by Perry Ellis

Similar to Allure, less refined, less spicy, less sweet, and less character. I'll stick to Allure.

Armani Mania by Giorgio Armani

A predominantly woody scent that is light but can be quite sharp, and which may not appeal to some. It softens a bit on the dry down but overall, quite a linear scent to me.

Gianfranco Ferré for Man by Gianfranco Ferré

The top and base notes dominate. A burst of citrus followed by leather-tobacco scents. Recommended for those who want a citrus-based fragrance with old style masculine scent of yesteryears. Suitable for the over forties folks.

Weekend for Men by Burberry

A fine balance between citrus and woody notes. Another citrus-based fragrance D&G Masculine has more spices, is warmer and longer lasting. Weekend lies between CK One and Masculine. Recommended.

XXX Large by Etienne Aigner

It has been described as: Citrus Green Aromatic Marine Floral Ozonic Woody Ambery. However, the floral and ozonic notes dominate in the beginning. Has a sharp note to it which I dislike. But the dry down is nice and amberry with a hint of sweetness. Too bad about the top notes, they could have done a better job.

Individuel by Mont Blanc

Arguably the most refined cologne since Allure. Not as 'in your face' and spicy as Allure. Its sweet so spray once will do. If you want something thats different, this is it.

Hugo by Hugo Boss

Reminds you of the mountains due to the pine scent. Very unique and has a distinct identity compared to other fragrances. Another classic!

Eau Fresh by Jacques Bogart

It starts off with heavy oriental woody smell, which is not for everyone. The dry out is nice. It took quite awhile before I took a liking to it.

Iceberg Twice Homme by Iceberg

Sweet smelling and long lasting.

Allure Homme by Chanel

A Classy scent and long-lasting. Has a definite identity that differentiates itself from other fragrances.

Braggi by Long Lost Perfume

Strong smelling perfume with heavy leathery and tobaccao scent. In the mold of Polo.

Kanĝn by Scannon

Has a woodsy, mountain fragrance to it. Has a little sharp note to it. Overall, different from the many citrus-woody clones today.
