Gucci by Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

O my.... I don't know what to think of this.. gucci men cologne has always been targeted towards the older man. This is no difference. Gucci is my favorite designer however, when it comes to there fragrance I only like & own envy. The rest of there line up has a very mature old feel to it. Maybe I will enjoy there scents once I reach my late 40's! I won't give it a thumbs down only because this last forever. & I do mean forever.

DKNY Men (New) by Donna Karan

I was not pleased when I smelled this. It reminded me of a couple of frags from the past, so there is no originality here.. also I am not pleased with the longevity of this.. 1 minute its there, & 3-4 hours later it vanishes. Mayb it will last longer on someone else but not for me. I would strongly suggest you try before you buy & check and see if the frag & longevity is right for you.

Infusion d'Homme by Prada

I love this stuff! I'm actually torn between this & prada amber. I enjoy the soap like scents of them both, but this captures my attention. Very nicely done, altho somewhat synthetic but who cares when you smell as good as this? I will also be purchasing the shower gel to go along with the cokogne. Enjoy & be fresh!

The One for Men by Dolce & Gabbana

Interesting frag. I do gret a smell of coconut but there is none listed n the pyramid. This would b great for fall/winter months as casual or yet business wear. I'm not a huge fan of tobaco but this is done nicely. It will be in my wardrobe very soon.

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake

Hmmmmm A rather intresting frag.... Was extremely popular when it first came out. I dont think its the best but it sure is better than alot I have smelled in it's class. I have only brought 1 bottle of this in my life time & I dont think I will buy another unless it was given to me.. I will give it a neutral rating. Its not bad, nor is it all that great! Longevity is average on me.. Mayb 6 hours...

cK one by Calvin Klein

This is headache alley! I use to wear this in middle school some 14 yrs ago. I guess it was ok for that time. But If I wore this mess now O my...... This is a light yet strong fragrance if you get where im coming from. The smell is just horrible & very cheap bland like. Even when I smell this on someone else my nose instantly flares in disgust! This is 1 I would NOT recommend to anyone.

Nautica Competition (new) by Nautica

This was a terrible fragrance by Nautica. The blue version is MUCH BETTER than this. It just screams PLAIN! Nothing else. Very boring I would not recommend to even a teenager.

Unforgivable by Sean John

And what do we have here?? Another over priced, boring scent with a celeberty's name on it. Much like Ushers disgusting fragrance. O & did I mention this is 1 tacky bottle?

360 Degrees for Men by Perry Ellis

This does not have any creativity.. Typical run of the milll scent & I am not pleased with it. Get your self some Perry Ellis WHITE for men & b happy!

Acqua di Giņ pour Homme by Giorgio Armani

Hmmmmmmmm watery notes & roses. I am not a fan of roses. After all they dont smell pleasent.. This stuff just does not set well with me. It has a smell that im not fond of. Yes the longevity is good. Yet the smell is something i can live without. The bottle is plain & ugly. No creativity there. I suppose it is 1 of the better scents from armani. Then again im not a fan of this house.
29 August 2008

Heir by Paris Hilton

This is a nice scent for a teenager or early 20 yr old. It is sweet sorta fem and light. The longevity is POOR.. So for that I will give this a neutral rating!
29 August 2008

Bulgari Aqua pour Homme by Bulgari

This has to be 1 of the best if not THEE BEST aquatic scents out. It is very uplifting & comforting. It truely does put a smile on my face. The smell is just amazing. I love everything about this frag from the top, middle & base notes! Well done Bvlgari!
26 August 2008

Cool Water by Davidoff

At first I really enjoyed this frag but after years & years of smelling it on so many people I begain to grow tired of it. Thee initial blast is enough to blow king kong away & if over applied you can destroy Tokoyo! It is not a bad scent, however I have grown tired of this 1 & whish to have no memories of this plauge.
26 August 2008

Happy for Men by Clinique

This is is 1 of those scents to hope all the best for only to get it & be dissapointed. While this is a nice citurs frag for the summer. It lacks silage & longevtiy! Thats the biggest down fall of HAPPY! & when there is poor silage & longevity there is really nothing to be happy about.
26 August 2008

Guess Man by Guess

I dont know what to say about Guess Man. Its not a bad scent, but its not the best either. I sprayed some on & really did not get the smell i was hoping for. Yes its fresh & clean just like out of the shower. But there is nothing in it that stands out on my skin to the point I can smell it myself. However I will give it a neutral rating!
26 August 2008

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana

When I first smelled this I was actually waiting for the notes to appear so I could test it. I really got nothing from this. It is wayyyyyyyyyyy to light on my skin to the point nothing pops up! It is like spraying water with a hint of NOTHING!
26 August 2008

Witness by Jacques Bogart

I got a whiff of this contraption & needless to say there is to much cinnamon in this frag for me. I am glad I did not buy this bottle or I would be highly p'd off! I quickly gave this to a neighbor who is a senior citizen & he says he enjoys it. Well im glad he did bcause that mess was going straight in the GARBITCH! There is nothing attractive about this & I dont think it was aimed for those in there 20's!
26 August 2008

Usher for Men by Usher

This is not a pleasent scent. At least to my nose its not.. I would have thought Usher would have developed a better frag then this but I guess I was wrong! It has really no distinct smell to me & it should def go in the bargain bin but it wont because it bares Usher's name on it. + the bottle is plain & ugly! Nothing sticks out that makes me say HEY! I WANT TO TRY THAT! LAME & BORING!
26 August 2008

Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein

This is by far thee WORST scent from the line besides that horrible CK one! This is not my style as it smells old! 60+ crowd... I dont believe it was put out there for the younger crowd 20's & 30's.. more so for the senior citizen wagon. There is nothing uplifting about this at all. Just makes me feel old & outdated!!
25 August 2008

Nautica Classic by Nautica

This is indeed 1 of thee worst scents I have ever smelled! I dont know what Nautica had in mind when creating this stinch..
22 August 2008

Dirty English by Juicy Couture

Ok I could not wait to get back and write about this. This was just AWFUL! I tried it twice, & it smelled very smoke like & nasty! I am not attracted to scents such as this. The first spray is a WHAM! In ur face thing, but the dry down is a little better, not much tho. I get a hint & I do mean HINT of strawberry... But over all this is just not me at all. I think this fragrance would be best worn in cooler weather such as fall & winter! Wearing this in hot weather conditions is not appealing what so ever. The bottle is nice, but thats where it ends with this 1!
28 July 2008

Nautica Competition (original) by Nautica

A rather intresting fragrance that is had to find now a days.. But it is worth the money. It's longevity is good & it smells great! I just dont get the gasoline smell that some have mentioned. Altho it is a smell that cannot be resisted & people will always ask what is that your wearing! Good Job Nautica.... NOW BRING IT BACK!
01 July 2008

Fuel For Life pour Homme by Diesel

Now this is good stuff! While at Macy's last year I asked the clerk to give me something with a sweet scent as I prefer those over those woodsy, tobacco scents. & she bought me Diesel Fuel for Life! Yes it suits a guy in his early 20's or even a teenager.. But who cares? It smells great & the bottle is nice thanx to the pouch that covers up the boring bottle! lol! All this and because it last a nice long length on my skin ill give it 4 out of 5!
01 July 2008

Burberry London for Men by Burberry

I tried, and tried to like this fragrance but I am not a fan of tobacco smells... It just smelled really bad... And yes I do get alot of diffrent holiday smells like thanksgiving and christmas.... But alot of those spice smells I dont care for. at least not on my body. Longevity is the only good thing I will say about this, other then that Burberry could have kept this concoction!
26 June 2008

H.M. by Hanae Mori

This is a very nice scent! ON ME! It smells pleasent & very uplifting! It is a gourmet scent & it is sweet but not overly sweet. No matter if it was because I like the sweet/soft scents as oppose to the smoky/woods stuff! W/O a doubt this is a winner!
17 June 2008

Joop! Homme by Joop!

There is something about this stinch I just cant grasp. Like many other reviewers have stated, It has alot of odd, wierd notes going on & it is really not pleasing to my nose. It smells of something Like a granddad would wear, but it also has alot os suprises. I cant wear it & I would suggest anyone who wants it to try it first & go home. Then the next day if your pleased then buy it.
17 June 2008

Amour de Cacao by Comptoir Sud Pacifique

This is a heavenly smell! It reminds me of a chocolate chip cookie! Mouth watering & inviting! 1 of the best scents out there. I do get alot of vanilla & chocolate while I do smell the starfruit which balances this unique scent out. I dont know why this is posted under women's fragrance bcause it is clearly unisex! This IMO beats Angel A Men HANDS DOWN! If you dont care for the burnt smell of A Men.. Then try this,U wont be dissapointed!
23 April 2008

Chocolate Greedy by Montale

I just tried a sample of this & I must admit this is THEE BEST CHOCOLATE scent on the market! It is dark but light at the same time! Angels Amen CANNOT compete with this piece of heaven. The name fits it well & you will be amazed with the longevity! Well on me it last a whole day. I will be buying a nice size bottle of this. Here are Chocolate Greedy Notes.moka bean, bitter orange, cacao cream, vanilla from Madagascar
15 April 2008

Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren

This is such a terrible fragrance. The tops notes are to strong & not pleasing at all. I suppose it is the seaweed! Luckily I got this as a gift & sprayed it once and then passed it on.. The other person did not like the stinch so they just tossed it! I would not recommend this to anyone.
13 April 2008

Mambo for Men by Liz Claiborne

Mambo is a nice fragrance. When I first smelled it I fell in love with it. Altho not one of the fragrances I normally wear.. But it is seductive & its great. It can be overpowering at first but the dry down is much MUCH better! I ended up giving my bottle to my little cousins bcause for some reason I just got tired of it. So I will give it a neutral rating!
12 April 2008

DKNY Red Delicious Men by Donna Karan

I must admit that I am not a fan of apples in fragrances... But this is a very unique scent done by DKNY! It's intoxicating & sparkling somewhat. It is way better then Be Delicious as apples & coffee is not a good mixture for me. This fragrance has good longevity & is worth the money! Thumbs up for me!
12 April 2008

Blue Jeans by Versace

I love,love, LOVE THIS STUFF! This fragrance is diffrent from most. It has an unusual smell that's somewhat straight in your face! However it is beautifully did IMO! It it last a great deal on my skin. & for the money you can't go wrong here... It is very much so a jeans and t-shirt fragrance & I think it can be worn all year around, but in the summer time there is no need to drench yourself in it because this is strong stuff and you will get noticed! My favorite scent from the house of Versace!
11 April 2008

Lucky Number 6 for Men by Lucky Brand

the bottle is great! & yes this is a nice fragrance 4 the price! u cant go wrong here. altho its not 1 of my favorites.. but i dont hate it either.. i will go nbetween on this one!
10 April 2008

Baby Blue Jeans by Versace

For me this is an ok scent.. Blue Jeans is much better & more attractive then this.. It is to teenage like and does not say mature! I will give it a 50/50 rating only bcause it is not a bad scent,altho I can definitly do without this concoction!
10 April 2008

Cerruti Image by Cerruti

Image is a very nice clean out of the shower type scent! It is crisp & beautiful for spring /summer days right after a shower! However the longevivty is poor! last about 3-4 hours. This would b perfect if it last @ least 8 hours! & yes spray on alot! U wont overdue it!
02 April 2008
