Blue by Ralph Lauren

Ok, there are way too many "guys" stating they use this as a unisex frag that i went to purchase this today *(im a guy).

Well, i guess it can be pass off as a unisex frag, i hope it does....it is nice..light, flora....not offensive....

I shall put this on tomorrow and see how the office reacts..hehehehe...

Monsieur Eau du Matin by Jean Paul Gaultier

I smell Melon...nice greenish non toxic, mild and not overly sweet melons, or was it guava??? But it is nice...but alas not staying. I got 4 hrs tops out of 10 sprays. Why oh why does the good ones fade so fast!!!! Nevertheless, i will spray 20 sprays tomorrow to see if it stays up to 8 hours, highly doubt it but will definitely try. It is a good frag.

Allure Homme Sport by Chanel

What a shame for Chanel....(sigh...double sigh). I did not expect Chanel to come up with such an average frag. Don't get me wrong, this frag is for those who wants a frag that does not stand out and also does not offend anyone. Average Average Average, sorry Chanel...but because it is Chanel, i'll go easy...Neutral

L'Eau Bleue D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake

This one...if you want a head turner fragrance, this is it...people will turn their head wondering why you smell so bad...i have to admit...3 sprays for first trial...3 sprays the next day for 2nd trial and i dare not try it again...went straight to the bin..sorry, not for me.

Warm Cotton by Clean

Well.....what can i say about this one. Fresh, yep, definitely...strong, yep, definitely...staying, YEP DEFINITELY, smell artifical, unfortunately yep.
I love this one and is fighting very hard to say that. It is unisex, i believe i can pull it off but i must admit, this is the first EDP i am trying and must say, such a different "power" as to a men EDT frag. I will use it but 1-2 squirts max....For the record, i love strong frag like Dior Homme and Hermes D'Terre...This one, is soooo strong as compared to the 2 stated before...use with caution.

Drakkar Dynamik by Guy Laroche

My comment is actually shorter than Ken Russell, it ended in the bin very quickly.

Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme by Salvatore Ferragamo


Oh this one is bad, big time, make that VERY bad. It does not even fit to be a toilet refresher spray...it went straight to the bin, i'm embarrassed to even give it to anyone.

What About Adam by Joop!

Short and simple message, i HATE this scent, worst one i ever had, extremely close to Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme (m), also BAD.

Christos Man by Christopher Chronis

Well well well..what can i say about Christos men, very good strong frag. It got taken out of the market (i think) because of its bottle design (it is a crucifix cross). These days, the closest thing you can get which i think is a very close match is Paco Rabanne Ultra Violet. Very nice by the way!!

Reaction for Men by Kenneth Cole

Watermelon....that is all there is..top, middle and base..as mention above, not an offensive scent but then again, nothing really. Great for office use, not meant to impress.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana

They are bot joking when they put the word "light" on it, last about 2 hours tops and although the frag itself is nice, good for summer - citrus, the longevity is very disappointing. The thing is there is not a lot of citrus bast men frag out there, DG Light blue will do well, but it will not long before people go, not worth the money for its longevity.
Neutral on this one.

Prada Amber pour Homme by Prada

Very unique, in my opinion, GOOD. Anyway, powdery for sure, but has a sweetness to it after. Very similar to Dior Homme and Fleur Du Male JPG. I love it but it does not stay as long to me as i would like it to, 4 hours max. Perhaps they should have Prada Intense soon!!!! That is how much i like it.

Envy for Men by Gucci

(deep voice) only for the men please. That is what this grag is speaking to me. It is a classic and i love it, smoky ish plus wood....very nice and yet not awfully ultra woody, have a hint of sweetness, mind you, the slightest, dont expect too much. All in all, love it!!!!

L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

I love this frag. Opening is an inoffensive sweetness to it. Stick ok to the skin, doesnt last as long as i would like it to, about 4 hours. Needs a good spray, i use 6 - 10 sprays as it is nice....worth trying or buying, i did!!
05 April 2008

Polo Explorer by Ralph Lauren

STRONG frag, similar to POLO Sports, that "thick" clouding smell that lingers close to you and if you get close to someone, it will creep itself to them too, over powering and sickly sweet, perhaps mix it with water?? HAHAHA, kidding. but that is what i feel like doing unfortunately. Nevertheless, worth trying, i can see people who will like it.

Hugo XY by Hugo Boss

One of Hugo Boss best work. Fresh opening and stays that way, no depth but the freshness is there, lovely!! Worth buying or the least trying.
05 April 2008

Euphoria Men by Calvin Klein

Smell nice enough, i like it but it last 30 minutes, and it is ALL gone. I guess why CK euphoria Intense is out, to phase out Euphoria. Honestly speaking, not worth the money, unless you want to use the whole bottle for 1 outing, re-applying every 30 minutes through out the day.
Scent wise, nice, longevity wise, worth 2 cents...so sorry i have to have a thumbs down for this.

Tokyo by Kenzo

All i get is ginger...then ginger....then it ends with ginger...smells cheap, bottling looks cheap...it has been sitting there since day 1, used it when i go downstair for a smoke...That its purpose, no go zone. And oh, i use it when i need to "freshen" the toilet temporarily.

Dior Homme by Christian Dior

yum yum yummo. This is the scent for the year i reckon. A bit on the expensive side but it is definitely worth the extra $30. Stay relatively long - 8 hours possible. The "powdery" scent does stick but it is not sickly overpowering type, just the subtle whiffing type. If you like this, should try JPG Fleur Du Male. Good Good!

Armani Attitude by Giorgio Armani

Oh, i love this! One of the best from Armani. The top note is the best, but it does not last that long. nevertheless, it is a good scent, similar to code but not exactly, the "same same but different" scenario. try it!

Echo by Davidoff

I have to say, this fragrance is rather "nasty", smells really cheap, sort of those you get at the $2 shop. As mentioned before, it is a mild frag but even so, it smells "nasty"...no go zone, mine actually ended up in the bin, didnt even have the guts to give it to a friend.
