    The Dreamer by Versace

    One of two blind buys that I instantly regretted. I've given it a fair shake but I just can't get past the nauseating top notes. I feel instantly sick every I spray. When the scent finally settles down its drydown is a tobacco note very similiar to D&G PH (the other blind buy that I regret). This particular tobacco note just annoys me for some reason and even though this is a well respected fragrance, its a definite scrubber on my skin.

    Joop! Homme by Joop!

    Joop! Homme in moderation is wonderful. Joop Homme! overapplied is borderline criminal. My wife absolutely loves this on me and she jokes that she doesn't want me wearing it out of the house. Great sillage...great longevity. I don't know why so many have the tendency to overdo it with this one...seems to defy common sense...1-2 sprays is all it takes.

    I am King by Sean John

    If I'm not mistaken, this is a placeholder for the new I AM KING fragrance from Sean John. Received as a gift this Christmas - what a disappointment....an extremely harsh grapefruit opening which quickly fades into....nothing as far as I can tell. I'm pretty impressed with Unforgiveable but this is just an exercise in style before substance. AVOID.

    1903 by J Peterman

    Hands down my favorite scent...and my secret weapon. About 10 years ago my uncle was wearing 1903 and I couldn't get over the smell. Leathery, woody, mossy...these are common phrases when describing a fragrance but this is anything but common. It was one of the most intriguing and exquisite scents I had encountered. He was very mysterious and didn't tell me what he was wearing but when I saw him next he gifted me a bottle and its been a must-have ever since. This is hands-down the one that I get the most compliments/questions about - since its only available on the J. Peterman website, its still relatively unknown and most definitely unique. I don't really see alot of resemblance to VCA PH (another favorite) as one of the reviews mentioned below. Really have yet to find anything quite like it.
