Terre d'Hermès by Hermès

She walked right passed me and stopped. Then she turned around and said: you smell good. Then she sniffed again and said: super, really super......Funny, the first time i smelled TdH i was not convinced...i could just smell the orange and thought: is this really what i want? I decided to buy it anyway. Even after the first times i used it i was not sure...But this soon changed. Somehow, this flagrance starts smeller better and better in time. Also apply a little bit on you shirt..believe it will do wonders during the next hours...I never had so many good reactions with a flagrances then this one..

Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

I had given up on this one. I tried to like it, but somehow it gave me a headache. I left the bottle untouched till my girlfriend tried it a few times and got compliments all over from other women. I was surpised, but when i smelled her i couldn't believe it. Opium pour homme was amazing on her...I guess it is a flagrance that you have to give time. Do not be turned off about the strong sharp smell right after you apply it. After some time the edges fade and then you will be rewarded. Opium pour homme still gives me some doubts when it comes out of the bottle but everybody around me seems to be crazy about it..

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake

I always been into the heavier woody scents. Dont know why...I always thought the fruity ones lacked personality, they always seemed to fade away within the hour on my skin. . This one proved me wrong. This one is so overwhelming lemon like (the Yuzu) but still pulls it off. I dont wear it that much because it so popular and i dont want to smell like everybody else. But eventually i always grab it, use it and feel great. And i know it will stay in my collection...

Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent

This is a great flagrance. Dont be fooled by the first smell out of the bottle...it can be like gasoline. Few seconds later you will be in a candy shop with vanilla and caramel. Some people compare it to 'Le Male' but i dont smell it. Maybe it is the chemistry with my skin but this turns out completely different..Also dont be fooled about the name. The reason i grabbed this bottle for the first time was because of 'Kouros' in the name. This is totally different. I always have a bottle and i see myself using it many times. You simply cannot go wrong with this one.

M7 by Yves Saint Laurent

Yes, it stands out....this is not a scent that goes unnoticed..I guess for some - reading the 'bad' reviews - it is simply too much, It makes them unsure......Don't be fooled. This is the top of the bill. This is why people pay money for a smell... I havent come across anybody that doesn't like it, Women always stop and smell and ask me what perfume i am wearing.,I admit, in the beginning it can be overpowering. Just dont overspray and give it a little time.The drydown is simply sensational. This perfume works in two ways. Many reviewers say it takes personality and courage to wear M7 and i can see why. But it also works the other way. M7 gives personality. For Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier, the two people who designed this perfume, this must be everything they ever wanted from a perfume.

Live Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent

I remember one sunny afternoon sitting in the car, ready to take three ladies for a drive. Only 30 seconds after they entered the car one said: 'My god, what is this very nice male scent.' The girl next to her nodded and the one next to me said: 'Yes, i must admit. This is a very nice smell. What is it?'
The smell, off course, was 'Live Jazz'. A summer scent, perfectly suited for a nice hot day. Different from the mainstream-ones like Coolwater, ADG. Live Jazz is fresh but not in your face. And thank God..where i live, nobody really discovered it. In fact, You can buy the Eau de Toilette with a great discount. Too bad the other line of articles (shampoo, deo-stick) are never in stock.
