Rive Gauche pour Homme Intense by Yves Saint Laurent

Smells EXACTLY like the EDT, but has a stronger Patchouli note in the drydown, and also a heavy dose of Moss. It lasts a bit longer then the original. If you want more Patchouli and Moss than I recommend you get the intense.

Unforgivable by Sean John

Cheaper,Sharper,Weaker version of "Millesime Imperial"

Oh I love MI, now I cannot bare to wear it because of that idiot Sean John, It has just been released here and I have already smelt it around a lot. Thank you Sean John for ruining Millesime Imperial, you idiot.

Very Sexy for Him by Victoria's Secret

All I smell is green apples and musk. Sorry but not sexy at all.

Tuscany / Etruscan by Aramis

It's a very nice fragrance, at first I loved it. But after a few days of wearing it I was not that mad about it. Has very good staying power and strong sillage but theirs something in it that bothers me about it that I can't put my finger on it. In my opinion this is Drakkar Noir minus the moss and the citrus, but I prefer Drakkar over this.

Very Valentino pour Homme by Valentino

Very nice, top notes are very similer to By by D&G and the dry down reminds me of Creeds Himalaya. Top notes are very sweet but the drydown is musky and little smooth.

Xeryus by Givenchy

YUCK!! This has to be one of the worst ever blind buys, it smells like sweet baby powder with light citrus and musk. It makes me dizzy everytime I smell this. STAY AWAY from it.

Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent

My first week with this and I am leaning towards not likeing it. My first spray with it and I remember likeing it, but wearing it for the whole day gave me a really bad impression the top notes smell like what most people keep saying, that is a public toilet after it has been cleaned with chemicals, the drydown is what I like but what I dislike the most about Kouros is the base I just don't like the BO smell that reminds me of the Toilet.

Rive Gauche pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

Geir by Geir Ness

Sorry to be the first one to give this one a thumbs down. I tried to like it but could not. With all the hype about how amazing it was, I had to get one, to my surprise it just smelt plain boring, it does not smell much different then Givency Blue label and Allure Homme Sport it has aairy fresh note and a cherry like sweetness.

The lasting power and sillage are not that good either, I know its a EDP but its not much different then a EDT, it lasted about 4 hours on my skin even during then I could hardly smell it. During the few days I wore Geir I did not get one compliment or a head turn like a few other fragrances.

XS pour Homme by Paco Rabanne

Very nice scent, its fresh and sweet powedery, it does smell like Creeds Himalaya but I would say they are 50-60% smell alike, Himalaya is more citrusy and of course the Creed House notes makes the difference. But this still a GREAT scent would recommend it to anyone, good sillage maker as well.

Silver Mountain Water by Creed

Its a ok Creed, smells a bit like CK1 with also that airy notes in Chrome. The only downside is that theirs a note that smells like pen Ink which can put people off sometimes.
12 February 2006

Himalaya by Creed

Very nice creed, but like others have stated it does smell ALOT like XS. Himalaya opens with a powdery citrus you can smell the grape fruit alot, and the dry down settles to the Creed house notes and gets richer but the citrus is always present. The only thing I don't like about Himalaya is the Powedery smell which is always present.

Kiton Men by Kiton

Not bad but not that good either, it was kind of too floral and plain for me, and the lasting power was not that great at all.
12 February 2006

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

I have had a change of heart with this fragrance, my previous experience were with people who showerd in it which people should not be doing with this, but when used lightly, about 4 sprays max it can be pleasent.
04 December 2005

H.M. by Hanae Mori

This is really good, fresh sweet and chocolaty, much more tolerable then A*Men, would recommend for anyone who wants something like A*Men but lighter. The lasting power was ok, not as great as others have mentioned lasted about 5 hours on my skin.
04 December 2005

11 November 2005

11 November 2005

Mambo for Men by Liz Claiborne

This has to be one of the worst ever blind buys, it smells like a orange scented bathroom cleaner, I put my 50ml bottle in the garbage on the first day, could not not give it away because of how bad it smells.
04 October 2005

I like how this starts smells like cut grass, but the drydown is just crap sharp and fresh.
13 October 2005

Acqua di Giò pour Homme by Giorgio Armani

Its a ok smell just OVERRATED and OVER used, after trying Creeds "Millesime Imperial" Acqua Di Gio seems like a cheap supermarket aftershave.
13 October 2005

Claiborne Sport by Liz Claiborne

Its ok nothing special, light and fresh, smells Too much like Calvin Klein's Eternity.
13 October 2005

Millésime Impérial by Creed

AMAZING is the word to describe it, on my first day with Imperial I just thought it was a ok smell, but couple of days later I fell in love with it, its starts of with a strong watermelon note and drys down to something salty and musky which is heavenly.

At the moment this is starting to take over Green Irish Tweed as my 1# Fragrance.
11 October 2005

Cool Water by Davidoff

Smells cheap and booring, I will always hate Cool Water for ripping off Creeds "Green Irish Tweed".

Like other reviewers have said save some money and get Green Irish Tweed it will be well worth it, Cool Water is the cheap supermarket Cola, where Green Irish Tweed is the real Coca Cola, nothing beats the real thing.
08 October 2005

Bulgari pour Homme by Bulgari

I really this one but theirs something about it that puts me off wearing it, maybe someone I knew long ago wore it or the smell it self is very common.
08 October 2005

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

My No.1 Frag, everytime I put on GiT I get compliments and turn many heads, I have had strangers come up to me and ask me what i was wearing, if your looking for something to catch peoples attention in a good way then GiT is for you. Yes it does smell a bit like Cool Water, I just got say GiT is like the Real Coca Cola, and Cool Water is the cheap supermarket ripoff.
07 October 2005

Curve for Men by Liz Claiborne

Love it! Smooth and green, Here in England its VERY rare so not everyone wears it here.
07 October 2005

Platinum Égoïste by Chanel

Its ok, but nothing special, way overrated, and drydown gave me a headache.
07 October 2005

Fahrenheit by Christian Dior

Smells heavy at first but than settles down to something fresh, this is different to all other popular scents that smell like each other too sweet or to feminin.
