Narciso Rodriguez for Him by Narciso Rodriguez

this smells like MOLD. the kind of mold that sticks to a loaf of bread. this also smells a bit like a dog that was playing in a pond for a few hours and came in the house. ICK. avoid.

Eau Sauvage Fraîcheur Cuir by Christian Dior

amazing, distinct, opulent stuff. citrus and leather DONE RIGHT. this limited edition is hard to find...i was looking for months before i ended up suddenly with 3 bottles of the stuff. the leather is soft and subtle...but when mixed with the citrus kick of eau sauvage----it creates this aura rather than a sharp scent. it's very light and refreshing, yet at the same time deep and dark. very cool stuff.

Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermès

unbelievale scent. one of the greatest fragrances EVER. but but but but but but............has THE crappiest longetivity in the history of fragrances. It is the ultimate olfactory tease. I can't buy another bottle, because i can't bear the pain....

Jean Luc Amsler Privé Homme by Jean Luc Amsler

this is a very very chilled, calm, dignified, and fresh scent. It's very subtle, with hints of woodiness, leather, and freshness. the closest thing to compare it to would be a lighter, fresher version of Helmut Lang's Cuiron....in fact, they do have some similarities overall. Cuiron is much more powerful and masculine though. If Cuiron is a Porsche 911, then this is more a Mercedes S-Class.

Helmut Lang Men by Helmut Lang

this is an amazing scent. ultra creamy and musky at the same time. never smells synthetic...and ALWAYS smells different depending on the mood. I love CUIRON by them as well....BUT i think this is the easier scent to wear on a daily basis. I wear this probably more than any other fragrance in my collection, and i never get tired of it. great stuff.

Paco Rabanne pour Homme by Paco Rabanne

a stone cold classic. just bought a bottle of this today. the last time i'd smelled it was when i had a tiny sample when i was 12 years old. I got re-interested in this after i smelled Bond No. 9's "Great Jones"....which is an EXACT (i mean really really exact) copy of Paco Rabanne PH.

To me, this smells like an underground indie rock and roll show. I don't get all the reviews about lavender and floral, and blah blah blah....to me, this smells like petrol, musk, and a rubber/leather compound. It really glows and lasts forever. I can sense its presence at all times......

absolutely brilliant. completely masculine...with driving gloves, a leather helmet....aiming for the tight turns of an italian mountain road.
