 | Sycomore (new) by ChanelSmells great. It's like the medium ground b/w Vetiver Extraordinaire (still the true standard!) and Encre Noire (2nd best true vetiver). However, it has very poor longevity and very poor sillage. Save your money and spend it on the two mentioned above or Fat Electrician. Sorry to be the downer of the group, but the one is definitely not worth the hype. 21st December, 2009. |
 | D&G Le Bateleur 1 by Dolce & GabbanaA little better than the run of the mill aquatic mens' frags but nothing special. 90% of the frags I own my wife does not care for so I broke down and swapped for this b/c she loves it. Why is it that most women only like the generic frags on men? Why can't they love Hinoki One and other more inventive frags???? 5th December, 2009. |
 | Andy Warhol Silver Factory by Bond No. 9Absolute MASTERPIECE. MUST OWN! One of my favorite scents. Didn't like at first spray as I got the metallic plastic smell but after wearing it I fell in love with it. Can be worn any time of the year. Bond #9 will now have to be regarded as one of my favorite brands JUST b/c of this scent. Wear this at least twice before making a judgement. 19th February, 2009. (Last Edited: 10th January, 2010.) |
| | Roadster by CartierLoved first blast of mint but did not care much for the sweet vanilla drydown. 6th February, 2009. |
| | H.O.T. Always by Bond No. 9Initial impression = smells like BO!! 6th February, 2009. |
| | Riverside Drive by Bond No. 9Longer lasting than most fresh scents. One of Bond's best. A little similar to Millesime Imperial but with more sillage/loudness which can be a good thing. 6th February, 2009. (Last Edited: 10th January, 2010.) |
| | Gucci pour Homme by GucciClass in a bottle. By far a much better scent than Dirty English or any other newer mass distributed woodsy scent. Must own. 6th February, 2009. |
| | Héritage by GuerlainSimilar to Bois du Portugal as mentioned. Just a little vanilla added and less potent. Average longevity but amazing scent. Can't see how any man could not like this. 6th February, 2009. |
| | Erolfa by CreedAbsolutely lovely aquatic. Can't see how anyone would not like the first 30 minutes of this scent??? However, due to the poor longevity it will not be bottle worthy and since I'm a stickler for longevity it will be a neutral in my book. 6th February, 2009. |
| | Bois du Portugal by CreedDoesn't get much better than this!! Took me about 3-4 wearings to appreciate it however. The grandaddy of woodsy scents. The only thing I'd change is increase the longevity a little. MUST OWN. 6th February, 2009. |
| | Calypso Marine by Calypso Christiane CelleI agree it is slightly on the feminine side though I was suggested this by a man. Best marine scent available b/c it smells great and lasts much longer than any other marine scent I've encountered. If Erolfa had this longevity it would probably be my #1. The only thing I'd change would to be make it a little less feminine. Two thumbs up though. 6th February, 2009. |
| | Terre d'Hermès by HermèsThe drydown is the closest to a masterpiece that I've ever smelled. An elegant orange wood. 8th January, 2009. |
| | L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme by GuerlainAnother winner from Guerlain!! I am consistently amazed at the scents they offer (at least for men). This scent reminded me of a smoother, less intense gourmand eventually. An elegant version of Lolita Lempicka, Rochas Man, or Angel without any harsh notes. I really can't describe the top accords too well so I'm not going to try. I have yet to find a masculine Guerlain I didn't like (yes, that even includes the underrated Guerlain Homme). 8th January, 2009. |
| | Love and Luck for Men by Ed Hardy [Christian Audigier]Don't think you can get any closer to Silver Mountain Water without actually going out and buying Silver Mountain Water. Could not believe how close this is to it. SMW is a little stronger and has better longevity though. Don't know whether to praise Gillotin for his recognition of an awesome scent in SMW or think it is cheesy for the apparent rip-off. Just my 2 cents. 4th January, 2009. |
| | Allure Homme Edition Blanche by ChanelSmells similar to something I used to own but can't remember. Too much orange for me to be honest. Not terrible but to be honest not inventive either. Smell before buying. 4th January, 2009. |
| | Original Santal by CreedNot a highly original scent and is very sweet. For those who do not like sweet STAY AWAY. I like others don't smell much sandalwood and believe this is a scent for younger (below 40) men and women. I have yet to find a woman who does not love this. I wouldn't say this is a must own but you won't ever regret having this in your collection. 2nd January, 2009. |
| | Himalaya by CreedThis one grows on you. At first it is a great smell but not an amazing scent. After multiple wears you really start to see the quality of the scent. As with most Creeds longevity is moderate at best. However the lovely scent it provides for the first 2-3 hours is heavenly. A must buy for anyone 20-35 years of age. May just be my favorite. 2nd January, 2009. |
| | Vetiver by GuerlainVery sharp scent. Fresh at first but this goes away quickly. May not be well liked for those used to the new boring generic colognes. Develops nicely with good sillage and longevity. I think I will have to buy a full bottle. 2nd January, 2009. |
| | Silver Mountain Water by CreedJust a great scent. A must try. Longevity could be a little better. 2nd January, 2009. (Last Edited: 27th November, 2009.) |
| | M; Men by Masakï MatsushïmaVery nice intial blast of citrus but just doesn't last long on my skin. Almost gone after 30 minutes. A shame b/c it definitely has potential. 1st January, 2009. |
