Lalique pour Homme by Lalique

I agree with all of the comments. It is classy, business-like, sweet, masculine and not too heavy. And it also has the not so nice components of vanilla and musk which I think lends itself to being too (sickeningly sweet) unpleasant fo Mr T. and ultimately for myself.

Carthusia Uomo by Carthusia

As stated by ??, It surely is a winner. An initial burst of spellbinding citrussy-raspberry transcends seamlessly into a longlasting and luxurious rosewood middle. The drydown is earthily aquatic and longlasting. Passionate, sexy, sensitive, masculine, natural. Its Italian nature is instantly evident, yet it is so molto unico. I look forward to the next Carthusia men's fragrance. I bought mine at the home store in Capri and saved a bundle.

Eau de Hongrie by Fragonard

This is one of the best jasmine/bergamot-accord scents I have found so far. When done well, this accord will sparkle like no other. The amber and cistus base really softens the heady trip and contributes to a long lasting drydown. The lack of musk keeps the sweetness intact. Definitely a first-rate juice. Unique, fantastic, elegant.

Bois de Cédrat by Creed

An incomparably simple summer accord of lime and cedar. Nothing is as dry or cool as Bois de Cédrat for me. The lack of musk keeps it from becoming a cliché. It's not as sharp as you may expect. It being of Creed quality keeps it true and harmoniously natural smelling. As of this posting, it looks to be discontinued.
