 | Bleu de Chanel by ChanelThis scent is like a pretty girl without a personality, she'll earn my attention, I will like her at first, but she won't keep my interest for too long. Bleu de Chanel is a really nice scent, that is well made, and has mass appeal. It hasn't won me completely over the couple times I've smelled it, but I don't hate it either. A perfect scent to use when blending into the crowd is your goal. Unfortunately I'm not into smelling like everybody else... 3rd February, 2011. |
 | Riverside Drive by Bond No. 9I really tried to like this one, I gave it several chances but I just don't get a pleasant experience with this cologne. On my skin, this scent is more similar to vinegar than to any of the top notes described in the pyramid. The opening of this is very sour and abrasive to my nose. When the top notes fade and the pineapple comes out, the scent transforms into something more bearable, but not wonderful enough to make up for the unpleasant opening. I wish I had a better experience with this scent, but as it stands, it's just not made for me. 4th May, 2010. |
 | Touch for Men by BurberryTouch is a nice powdery violet scent that is comfortable to wear. There's not much development from top to bottom, but it's one note is so wonderfule that it doesn't have to evolve. This scent is like an old favorite t-shirt, it's super comfortable, it sits just right on your body, and you never get tired of it. 10th June, 2009. |
| | Geranium pour Monsieur by Editions de Parfums Frederic MalleThe opening of Geranium pour Monsieur smells like the taste of recieving a kiss from a freshly toothbrushed mouth. This is not to say that GpM smells like toothpaste, on the contrary, it's more like fresh minty breath. I believe it's the combination of mint and musk that gives it the "fresh breath" accord that is very enjoyable. 8th June, 2009. |
| | Sécrétions Magnifiques by Etat Libre d'OrangeLOL!!! It vaguely lives up to it's name sake. It's actually an amusing experience, it's slightly sweet, slighty floral, and slightly smells like a sectretional fluid. Let's just say that if it really smelled like this, things might be different in the bedroom, LOL! 6th June, 2009. |
| | Oud Cuir D'Arabie by MontaleThe opening I could skip. This is the kind of frag you spray an hour before you go out so that you could get to the wonderful heart and base notes. 28th April, 2009. |
| | Coney Island by Bond No. 9Coney Island starts out with a fun fruit note at the top, mostly lemons and oranges to my nose. Then the middle comes in with candy, Slightly chocolaty caramel with the orange lingering about. Then dries down into a cologne-y semi-aquatic, semi sweet base. All in all a fun fragrance, not at all "deep" or "thought provoking", just plane FUN! 31st March, 2009. |
| | Jicky by GuerlainWhat a delightful fragrance...while it's there. 31st March, 2009. |
| | Lyric Man by AmouageA modern rose fragrance for the modern man, not at all masculine in my opinion, but nicely done none-the-less. The price is a bit high, it is a little better than Le Labo's Rose 31 in my book, but it's also twice as much. 19th March, 2009. |
| | Amouage Homage by AmouageThis is an absolutely beautiful rose fragrance. The best I've ever had the pleasure of inhaling. Even now as I'm typing I'm straining my neck as I keep my nose to the part of my arm I dabbed from the sample. I must get this fragrance, I MUST!!! 19th March, 2009. |
| | Idole de Lubin by LubinHave to get a bottle of this stuff, it's instantly my OTHER favorite "boozy" scent next to By Kilian's Straight to Heaven. Can't ever get enough RUM!!! 19th March, 2009. |
| | Nautica Classic by NauticaThis was my 1st cologne EVER! I had the aftershave spash bottle. It actually belonged to my uncle who passed away. I wore this in middle school (aka junior high). Good memories tied to this frag, so I'm going to have to give it a thumbs up 6th March, 2009. |
| | Great Jones by Bond No. 9This scent reminds me of Kouros, but WAY toned down. Let's call it a civilized, sophisticated Kouros. It's soapy but not urinal cake-y. Quite nice. I'm tempted to buy a bottle... 12nd February, 2009. |
| | Amethyst by Olivier DurbanoThis starts out with a prominent grape note on my skin, then it dries down to a hauntingly sweet incense. I would call this a unisex scent. Lasts pretty much all day. While it is quite nice, I didn't really fall in love with this scent. From this line, I prefer Black Tourmaline. 11th February, 2009. |
| | Hamptons by Bond No. 9This scent somewhat reminded me of Kouros, but way, WAY more controlled. It's very soapy, clean, and invigorating. An aquatic type fragrance that stands out. Also, it's very masculine to my nose. 10th February, 2009. |
| | John Varvatos by John VarvatosVERY sweet, I can't separate all the notes, I definately pick up the vanilla when I wear this frag, but very little, if any leather. Sometimes I can pick it up, other times I can't. 10th February, 2009. |
| | Blenheim Bouquet by Penhaligon'sBright Lemon opening that dries down to an uplifting pine note. The pine note is almost effervescent Quite pleasant, but not stunning. 10th February, 2009. |
| | M7 by Yves Saint LaurentOn my first testing of this earlier this year, I was repulsed, the top notes were medicinal, bitter, and cloying. 11th December, 2008. |
| | Body Kouros by Yves Saint LaurentThis is a very comforting and calming scent to me. Almost the polar opposite of it's predecesor. Where Kouros is brash, flamboyant, with a "LOOK AT ME" attitude, Body Kouros is confident, quiet but strong. 9th December, 2008. |
| | Red Vetyver by MontaleRed Vetyver is a more natural smelling Terre d'Hermes. I'm wearing both as I type this, gave Red Vetyver a couple full wearings already and it's still quite difficult to tell them apart. It may be my untrained nose, or it may be that they just don't have that much difference between them. Good scent, albeit unoriginal. I give it a tentative thumbs up... 8th December, 2008. |
| | Dans Tes Bras by Editions de Parfums Frederic MalleSweet mushrooms? The top notes made me kind of nautious, I was close to scrubbing it off!!!, but then the mushroom accord disappeared and it settled down to a wonderful, transparent, feminine skin scent. You can liken it to taking in the scent of your girlfriend or wife after they take a nice long hot bath, little sweaty, a little salty, a little sweet... 8th December, 2008. |
| | Tobacco Vanille by Tom FordDirty Vanilla scent. The tobacco gives the vanilla a "naughty" side. Great sillage and longevity, however the scent isn't all that inticing... 8th December, 2008. |
| | Cuba by Czech & SpeakeA green tobbacco fragrance. Top notes are a blast of mint and citrus with a medicinal after-taste...reminiscent of Halls candy. When the top notes fade into the background, a rich moist unsmoked cigar note comes into play and stays, and stays, and stays... 5th December, 2008. |
| | Gucci Pour Homme II by GucciThe violet in the opening notes of GPHII is delish! Everybody that said this is a sweeter and softer Tea for Two is correct. Personally, I prefer this to T4T because who really wants to smell like Earl Grey Tea in public? Not me. It is a very subtle scent, it lasts for a little while on my skin 4-5 hrs and then it's gone. Probobly shorter lasting on other ppl's skin b/c my skin tends to hold on to fragrances longer. Overall not a bad scent. 18th September, 2008. |
| | Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme by Dolce & GabbanaTruely a classic scent. I can't complain about this one at all. If you want to smell good, wear D&G PH. With that said, don't expect to stand out really, b/c there will probobly be somebody next to you wearing this. It's a really popular frag. and I can smell why! 18th September, 2008. |
| | Very Irresistible for Men Fresh Attitude by Givenchyif you want to smell like a york peppermint patty, this is for you! Gave this to my brother, not a bad scent. On the strong side when spritzed on my skin. Definately different from others in the department store display cases...but that's not really anything special. 17th September, 2008. |
| | Comme des Garçons 2 Man by Comme des GarçonsWhen I first sniffed this fragrance I was instantly reminded of Le Labo's Vetiver 46. Both are very masculine fragrances, both are a little astringent, and both are growing on me. After the initial top notes though, the similarities fade. More of the smokey incense notes come out on my skin as this fragrance develops. I like it! 11th September, 2008. |
| | Bois du Portugal by CreedDefinately NOT a fragrance you would call "youthful", but "classy" and "sophisticated" do fit the bill. I don't know why, but I was expecting more leather. Smelled this on a testing strip before and it made me cringe. recently I got a sample from TPC and got a full wearing of it yesterday and my mind was changed. Definately an old school type of fragrance. It says up top that Frank Sinatra use to rock this...I think he would have been the perfect spokesman for BdP if they ever did start an ad campaign. 11th September, 2008. |
| | Grey Flannel by Geoffrey BeeneI used to wear this in Highschool!!! OMG brings back memories (good and bad). This was my one cologne and I wore it year round...BIG mistake. Kinda cloying in the warmer months. I didn't know I was wearing a classic however...cool feeling. 8th September, 2008. |
| | Nasomatto Duro by NasomattoThis stuff is like M7 except SO much MORE refined. Heavy on the leather, but not aged, worn in leather. More like brand new leather jacket leather. Expensive leather at that. Good stuff, don't wear it in the summer tho, it doesn't quite mix well with sweat... 22nd August, 2008. |
