well. after expecting for it to finally arrive, i tried it and got...this very funny impression, like the lady has given me Gucci eau de parfum I, insteand of the new jpg for men...=))
yes, folks. this is the mighty Gucci Eau de Parfum I, only for men. The opening is orange blossom,only it smells like something you'd use to spray mosquitos away. i love bug-spray fragrances,i just never found one suitable for men. now i found it =)).
seriously, a very well blended floral-oriental vanilla-based scent for men. it's fresh enough though. the bottle and the opening is somewhat similar to the new Fahrenheit 32.i'm noticing a trend here for 2007...i like where things are going..

this smells exactly like apples and crakers to me!
a totally new scent from gucci: it has elements from the original GPH in the drydown, but the opening is very green-fresh. i find it perfect to wear in the summer,but not as sophisticated as GPH. a very nice fragrance.

OMG:wow
yes,floral,yes,vanilla..kind of fresh,but still an oriental fragrance. it's a very weird combination this one..i detect elements fromthe newly released jean paul gaultier fleur du male in the opening. it has a base very similar to gucci pour homme II and to Guerlain l'instant d'ete. good lasting power. a totally new fragrance among other dior masculines. a must have

ok, first of all, anyone who should ever say that this one is similar to l'eau d'issey must be utterly demented. i ask of you would you also think that le male by j-p gaultier is similar to a*men? i probably would...or that bulgari's aqua is similar to acqua di gio? =)) anyway..if this frag should ever be compare to some other one, it should most definitely be rabanne's black xs..i mean you should be smell-impaired not to note the similarity. a very nice fragrance, both of them actually..
very light, optimistic...quite zen fragrance...just like issey miyake (sic!) i'd not recommend this without testing it on the skin first, though...
don't let yourself be fooled by the citrusy opening...this so-called "fresh" fragrance becomes quite ambery towards it's base. this was called "eau fraiche" because it's a much lighter version of versace man. it's not something for you all pathetic acqua di gio freaks out there, although versace IS your next-in-line, isn't it? lol

quite an interesting turn of events...a*men is about the last fragrance i thought there would ever be a summer edition of.:))
anyway, the scent is great, nothing like the original, but simply not another fresh AdG crap.mugler knows what he's doing...trust mugler!
nothing i'd purchase though...

what can i say about nomadic him..
agarwood..musk..very well blended.
a very unique and original scent when it comes to mass market products...but in the real world, m7 still rules:)

this is a fantabulous fragrance that reminds me of a more refined dkny be delicious with some vanilla notes. yum!

perfect for office wear. made not to impress, but to consacrate.

extraordinary fragrance. a unique, fresh scent. uniqueness is the definition of shared scents. love it

great fragrance, a masterpiece when it comes to different skin types. still, i don't think i could pull it off wearing this.. way too feminine even for my taste. give it a go, though!

elegant and classy, nothing spectacular, though...
it's way better than other marine fresh ones, but since i'm not the fan of marine freshness, it does nothing more for me than to make sure that i don't bother anyone with an oriental smell in the middle of august at midday :)) ordinary but necessary

really, mister monkey man, did it ever occur to you that maybe there could be different skin types? news flash! i have no longevity problems with neither this one, nor the indeed "mighty original". by the way, was it supposed to have similarities with Obsession for men? believe me, mr klein knows his marketing (check out his low prices, if that won't make people buy, nuttin will). what if l'eau bleue d'issey would have been a version of the original, only so that it had "similarities" with the legend..

how could i not love it? well, as fresh as an opening it has, the dry down on my skin is wonderfully spicy. not that longlasting on my skin though. too bad. if it weren't for that i would've bought it, so try it first! maybe you're luckier.

don't even get me started on this one. untill i tried it i used to think m7 is unique. well it's not..sadly enough. i still love m7, but this one is extraordinary. i'm not sure about it's longevity, i think the tester might have been off (the fragrance being this old, it's almost forgotten, such ashame!), but then again, m7 doesn't excell in that area either!
all my love to cacharel for nemo and for this classic

definitely a musthave for fans. actually, in order for me to purchase this one, i really need to wait for a more dilluted version, if there'll ever be one.
much, much to powerfull for me. a very unique scent, that actually gives me headaches...
less is more, people!

another fragrance for our lesbian friends! nah, just kidding. they do use it, but they do make mistakes... this one is actually a great fragrance.
not a big fan of the floral opening thingy, but after that it's a symphony of rationally chosen ingredients. gooooood staying power. love it. actually my next in line.

yes it has lots of similarities to other fresh aquatic fragrances, but so do many, many others. that's the risk in creating an aquatic fragrance.
i'm definitely not a fan of this type of fragrance (i'm a sucker for spicy-woody-oriental crap), but this is my very first fresh fragrance! and i love it. u won't find uniqueness here, although it does stand out of a crowd without a question, the crowd being a lot of misguided aqua di gio users...
the staying power isn't remarkable, but it's ok.
the slightly bitter notes of marine algae do the whole trick. check out kenzo pour homme to see what i'm talking about.

i recently bought a bottle of d i o r homme, the smallest version (it's such a long lasting fragrance, that 50 ml is more than enough), and let me tell u that dior is dior and will always be dior... ever since i tried it for the first time, it immediately jumped in my top 3 (which, by the way is: nemo - cacharel, obsession - calvin klein and now, d i o r homme)
the blend of ingredients is breathtaking.. i dont't have anything to compare it to, except maybe for a*men, or envy for men. the category is the same, but d i o r is unique. by the way, the middle of may, and i wear it with no problem whatsoever.
this will become a classic!

the top notes remind me of a trip to the dentist's. after that, hell is let loose. i love it, tho it's very difficult to wear. it's next on my list.

come on... give it up while your ahead. i love elizabeth arden, though

exceptional. nothing to compare it to. a great classic. 45+

this perfume will mess with your heart. and the body will not remain unaffected. the first morning of the world. this is lightyears of philosophy in merely a fragrance

dark, mysterious, all-around gothik smell. definitely for the younger crowd. very difficult to wear. you must be a very strong and masculine person to accompany the slightly feminine scent. do i detect a hint of grapes, maybe red wine? it really turns me on when my lover wears it.

meet the one person who never purchased this fragrance. acqua di gio is my life! - NOT
at least i try to be different from the rest of the planet.

this is my no.1 fragrance. why does cacharel not make it anymore? why, cacharel, why? i'd like to buy a dozen of 100 ml bottles. i'd bathe in it. will i ever get the chance to use it again, cacharel? don't do this to me, please!

if it's gay, it has to be ck!

spicy, wet, floral, perfect for a rainy spring day, or for a walk in the summer evening breeze. thumbs down on account of bad lasting power

even bjork would love this one. and i like love all that is bjork. why thumbs down? don't buy it, it's mine!

oh, my god! do all boss fragrances smell like perspiration? check out Hugo. another olfactory disaster

extraordinary fragrance. thumbs down because on my skin it smells like chimpanzee vomit. be very careful with this one. test it on your skin, then retest it. good luck! it's a great one

boring. too much damn lemon, yeah, yuzu, my ass!
don't go there!

the fragrance is extraordinary, but it's widely missused. the dreamer redefines sophistication. that's why i don't get the fascination that people who wear costumes and sports shoes have with this one. it's for LGTB, not str8 hotshots!

only if you are a lesbian... somehow they seem to like it... i hope i won't get a chance to smell this on a man again... terrible. it reeks! masculine perspiration at it's fullest. this is not eau de toilette, this is an excuse to mock masculinity. i hate hugo boss. you must be really idiotical to purchase this. reminds me of str8.
but, nevertheless, for our lesbian friends it seems to be the ultimate fragrance. well, go figure!

do not purchase this one unless you are bottom-versatile... otherwise, you'll be turning heads in vain. great lasting power. but all too common. if u ever went to bruxelles, you would know what i'm talking about.
