Baldessarini Del Mar by Baldessarini

i like it. oriental sweet but not overly done with good longevity. the only bad thing about it is selection smells almost exactly like it. come on hugo boss. do better.
14 August 2009

Boss Pure by Hugo Boss

i agree with most posts. good smell,nothing new, a bit boring and overpriced at it's debut. now very cheap on the web and should be discontinued in a few years. decent aquatic but missing a few pieces. longevity is also an issue. i don't hate it though.

Aqua di Roma Uomo by Laura Biagiotti

i had a sample a few years back and i remember it being very floral. a very hard to find scent. nice floral. it was simple but i liked it.
09 August 2009

Signature pour Homme by ST Dupont

great top and middle notes. ( subdued spicyness) with a touch of givenchy pi due to the benzoin. point blank is that this is a great subtle pi light.
29 July 2009

Mat; Male by Masakï Matsushïma

flowery and green.very cheap . good scent but i am not a fan of the earthy,fresh,floral types. plus paul smith the original does it better.
29 July 2009

Essenza di Zegna by Ermenegildo Zegna

too weak for me. smells nice the 30 minutes it's on you. maybe intense lasts longer,(you'd think). nice floral that would be better if you did not need an atomizer with you.
21 July 2009

Joseph Abboud by Joseph Abboud

subtle spice done nice.longevity is good and this is very distingushed. very unmodern which could be a good or bad thing depending on your taste.
20 July 2009

Guess Suede by Guess

synthetic just like the other guess. lack of composition and very plain. if you go to dunkin donuts and get a dozen plain donuts instead of a mixture, this is for you.
08 July 2009

Armani Attitude by Giorgio Armani

if you like angel you will like this. very cheap on ebay and just as long lasting. for the gourmand lovers only!!!!
07 July 2009

Polo Black by Ralph Lauren

not even as an air freshner. poor construction. poor judgement and a poor mainstream fresh scent. double black is much better.
06 July 2009

Dirty English by Juicy Couture

reminds me of gucci. a bit lighter and more cleaner and that's about it.
22 June 2009

Angel by Thierry Mugler

a ravishing unique blend of tasty treats. very bold and unique gourmand as gourmand's should be. very intoxicating or nauseating. love it or hate it. it's like one of those gore movies, (MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D), it's an audience for everything and i love gory movies as well as this!!!!!!!
11 June 2009

Nicole Miller for Men by Nicole Miller

apple and a bit of bourbon for about an hour. i guess it's the reissue i have also. no vanilla no staying power. nice air freshener.
09 June 2009

Ralph Hot by Ralph Lauren

edible in every way. delicious maple/vanilla/creamy scent. my friend at work wears this and it is irresistable no doubt.
01 June 2009

Polo Explorer by Ralph Lauren

reminds me of hermes terre in the top notes. not as complex but the bergamot/citrus appeal is here.then a smoky cedarwood drydown follows. not bad but not inventive next level material.
30 May 2009

Versace l'Homme by Versace

an evening/formal scent for the over 40 crowd. opening is a hint of citrus that drys down to masculine woods that dominate for hours.like i said a bit old smelling but still a classic nonetheless.
20 May 2009

Escada Homme by Escada

strong solid opening cognac and fruits that mellows out to a rejuvinated almost simple fruity/woody accord that is priceless.every man should at least have the 1.3/1.4 oz bottle that i have had for about 3 years now. not an everyday scent but it's what i would call a mature casual scent that can be worn anytime of the day.
19 May 2009

David Beckham Instinct by Beckham

been there and done that scent. a tad touch of spice and citrus. not bad but you have smelled it before.for the price i would say go for it if you are under 25 otherwise it's a bore the the cologne connosiuer.still i want to try pure instinct.
18 May 2009

Cool Water Deep by Davidoff

i agree with kahuna cowboy. very unimaginative and bland. not offensive but also not striking.for cheap aqua's stick with the original,echo and k.c. black.
14 May 2009

Usher for Men by Usher

not as bad as you would think. a clean, sexy masculine scentwith lavender that lasta a good while. i am impressed from the first timer.white pepper gives it a touch of spice while musk and woods dominate the drydown. pretty good stuff.
07 May 2009

Sunset Voyage by Nautica

a light tropical bland mix. lasts an hour or so and is completely for the wearer's enjoyment. farbetter scents with longevity such as bermuda tonic and burberry summer.
29 April 2009

Very Sexy Hot by Victoria's Secret

fruity and oriental. a definate masterpiece that should be worn by more ladies. fall/winter scent with heavy patchouli and peony.
27 April 2009

Happy by Clinique

safe fresh i just washed my hair and i feel casual with a sexual feel and appeal also.in the same realmas cool water and a definate safe pick.
27 April 2009

Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy

comparable to dunhill's desire but sweeeter and not as fruity. a great nightout scent that will get you plenty of attention from the opposite sex.i think the red pepper and double dose of cedar play a huge factor in the great longevity. a hate it or love it scent definately.
25 April 2009

Touch for Men by Burberry

spring and summer casual scent. comforting as mentioned before with a touch of swag due to the pepper and tonka bean. decent longevity and a bit alluring. i have had my 1.7 oz bottle for 2 years but will wear it more along with burberry summer.
25 April 2009

Desire for a Man by Alfred Dunhill

full,rich and vibrant. you must have a didtinct personality when wearing this or quickly develop one.not for the office but very casual and charesmatic.this is an unmatched scent maybe only to chanel's allure that any man can wear and meet complete strangers based on the smell. from the lime and apple, to the patchouli and vanilla this is a sexy,friendly open your arms to the world scent.
25 April 2009

Very Irrésistible for Men by Givenchy

still starts off with that l'instant opening and ends with minor sillage. a good silly boyish fragrance. not to be taken serious but sorta like the class clown.
24 April 2009

DKNY Red Delicious Men by Donna Karan

gourmand or oriental with a note or 2 of sweetness but not overly done.very masculine cognac and rum that runs circles around spark which uses the same 2 notes.i don't detect much vanilla but the coffee and patchouli work very well in the drydown. casual or a night out scent with good longevity!!!
22 April 2009

Kiton Black by Kiton

kinda smooth and fruity but not an aquatic or marine mess.kinda like the original but not as green. a definate gq scent that should be sparingly used. a masterpiece for sure that should be in every guy's wardrobe!!!
22 April 2009

PS by Paul Sebastian

my friend at work wears this and does it reak. terrible basenotes that don't mix well at all. too potent and a very irritating scent. he is a cool young 51 but this is not recommended to anyone.
04 April 2009

Samba Natural Man by Perfumer's Workshop

cheap and synthetic. a clean urine stench tha is unattractive at best.
29 March 2009

Essential by Lacoste

everything is weak. every single note. this scent is supposed to be a skin scent and lasts all day but is the opposite. the base notes are not there all you get is an ok green/fresh scent that is overpriced. i have the joy of owning the 4.2 oz bottle. lucky me!!!!!!!!
24 March 2009

Roadster by Cartier

the english mint is very pronounced giving the roadster a (green) feel and touch though it lasts and lasts and also has patchouli which is undetectable. it settles into a nice cashmere wood base that shines. overall an elegant green. has that ever been accomplished?
06 March 2009

Curve Connect for Men by Liz Claiborne

a nice masculine floral which is the best of the curve series. tonka base notes add just enough sweetness as to where it's not an oriental but still floral. very unique and one of the best florals imo.
03 March 2009

Ferrari Passion by Ferrari

decent somewhat sporty and mossy. honey, fig and a bit of amber is what i detedt. also it does not last long on my skin. i like other ferrari's better but this is distinctive and can be worn year round.
28 February 2009

Spark for Men by Liz Claiborne

very boozy and interesting throughout the longevity of spark.true it's an alcholic's dream scent but it's a little more to it. very dark cognac and rum give way to a bit of sweetness due to honey and amber. don't get me wrong, it's a definate dark and spicy scent though that i would never wear in public.
27 February 2009

Azzaro Now Men by Azzaro

same nasty opening as fcuk but it does not last throughout the scents longevity. very synthetic florals follow with no direction. who is this scent for . is their a crowd for soft metallic florals. i think not. try be4 u buy.
26 February 2009

Island Voyage by Nautica

not as heavy or good as voyage but i guess more of a summer/soring light version.not as spicy or original. plainly put, simple.
26 February 2009

Original Santal by Creed

i got a barely used bottle at a very discounted price and man this is great.long lasting sweet and a bit spicy top notes give way to a great rosemary,orange blossom, lavender middle that is perfect. a perfumey scent that is a bit heavy and even cloying but a magicl scent indeed.tonka and vanilla are mixed superbly to create a great well balanced sweet but not overly done scent. the best creed imo, ihave tried mi,git orange spice,smw and others but they can't hold a candle to this!!!!!!!
26 February 2009

JHL by Aramis

aunt tea pearl's favorite perfume and she's 82. a disgrace guys. i have had a 1.7 oz pour bottle not spray that i decanted and it's terribly sweet and old fashioned. i could not wait for the drydown but i don't think i will give this another chance.up their with ultraviolet man and m7 as the girliest cologne's ever!!!!!!!!
22 February 2009

Tempore Uomo by Laura Biagiotti

almost more notes than antidote(25 to 20), but also not a big head turner. very subtle flowery light inoffensive bore of a scent. i get the spicy middle notes but they are overtaken by the flowery top notes. base notes are undetectable or this would be an ok scent.it's like a bvlgari light.
22 February 2009

The Dreamer by Versace

one of the better long lasting scents available to man. opening is enjoyable to me because of it's distinctiveness. then iris kicks it and mingles with the tobacco and amber to create a long lasting enjoyable top notch scent. compliments galore and all in all nothing smells like it. a blind buy for me about 3 years ago that should be worn on special nights.
22 February 2009

Curve Wave for Men by Liz Claiborne

a nice light aquatic boring scent.for the under 30 crowd on 80 plus degree days.liquid oxygen scent, did they make that up?
20 February 2009

Allure Homme by Chanel

great wood and tonka sweet drydown to perfection. a rich man's dunhill desire. sweet and woody in the same class as lagerfeld but 30 times better. an all time favorite of mine which is getting more and more popular.
19 February 2009

Désir de Rochas pour Homme by Rochas

a cross between mb's individuel and selection from boss as stated previously. flowery but a very passive scentthat lingers for hours.a bit of herbalness too.noy my kinda scent though even so you can tell it's of high quality.
18 February 2009

B*Men by Thierry Mugler

disgusting herbal,rhubarb opening and drydown. not a hint of sweetness as amber is one of the notes just earthly and herbal. unpleasant from opening to ending.a bit spicy but definately a let down from angel a*men.
13 February 2009

Lotto Man by Lotto

from opening to end very sporty synthetic cheap waist of money.trust me i would have rather gave the 7 bucks to a bum than wear this even around the house.
07 February 2009

Aramis Always Him by Aramis

actually imo a good aquatic. opening with cucumber and zesty melon.then a bit of mintthat fades quick back to the opening notes. very fresh and clean. i don't get the rotten egg smell.
06 February 2009

Believe by Britney Spears

very enticing, sexy and youthful. very flowery opening which mellows out to a nice soft drydown.
03 February 2009

Fantasy by Britney Spears

very sweet and gourmand yummy and creamy. vanilla and sugar mixed with creamy musks that lasts all day. for the under 30 crowd fo sho.
03 February 2009

Ed Hardy Man by Christian Audigier

a very loud opening of bergamot and citrus that sprkles for awhile but develops into light woods clary sage for a bit spice. definately for the under 35 crowd for everyday use. plenty of compliments.
03 February 2009

9 IX Rocawear by Rocawear

a lot of thought was put into jay's first scent but to not much avail. at least he didn't do a remake (sean john) so it gets points for that. overall though a citrusy start and a faint woody end , i guess for romantic evenings because your significant other will have to bury her face in your chest to get a whiff of this.
03 February 2009

Good Life by Davidoff

synthetic, sharp office scent. very 90 's loud opening but still wearable. similiar to preferred stock. a lot of different notes such as meliot,lentisc and liatrix.sounds like depression medication but what do i know.
02 February 2009

Romance Silver Men by Ralph Lauren

clean and floral. a bit light but a good one for the price. last longer and is way cheaper than the infamous purpl. label. i prefer this.
02 February 2009

Watt for Men Blue by Cofinluxe

very cheap big early 90's harsh opening citric/aromatic disaster. very cheap is the only good thing about it.
02 February 2009

Weekend for Men by Burberry

a very light kinda gendarme scent. very linear but decent citrus that selles in a smooth breeze like an odor. sorry i had to say that but it's for guys who wanna smell ok that don't really care cologne. the axe and body spray guys should like it.
02 February 2009

Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf

fairly young floral. for ages 35 and under i would think. very sweet jasmine, and patchouli without ever being to cloying. at least they did not over think this one as the men's version "antidote" has 25 different notes!!! i like them both though.
31 January 2009

Dunhill for Men by Alfred Dunhill

a gentlemen's fragrance meant to be worn on special occasions only. very wild and untamed openining of florals that at times is harsh and 1934ish. it settles after a wild to a calm floral with greatsillage and longevity but is a bit dated for the under 35 crowd. i have had my bottle for 3 years and it's still half full.
31 January 2009

Bright Crystal by Versace

fruity and floral again. there are cheaper one's. there are more expensive one's. i like versace's take on magnolia, peony and musks. i am not familiar with vegetal amber but my friend wears this and it's lovely on her.
29 January 2009

Bijan for Men by Bijan

an arabian pirate from those johnny depp movies would love this. strong and masculine sweet. a bit dated and i can't see anybody under 35 wearing this.3 of the middle notes are commonly used as base notes. that ain't right!!!!!
28 January 2009

Davidoff Adventure by Davidoff

perfect smell, with poor longevity as stated previously. a bit of citrus,spices and woods blended nicely but to no avail really. a definate romantic scent as is john varvatos for it's lack of projectivity. i like it though.
28 January 2009

Jacomo for Men by Jacomo

as stated previously,if you love the sharper in your face scent (le male,desire) this ain't for you.a skin scent indeed as it stays close and does not project. similiar to silver shadow but cheaper.great notes of pineapple,plum and veviter, but all i get is the pepper, amber and tonka. an extreme version is needed.
26 January 2009

Sun by Jil Sander

i wore this by mistake thinking it was the male version. very light citric/floral great for weather above 80 degrees. unisex as i can't find the male version without paying a heavy price tag.
26 January 2009

Trussardi Inside Man by Trussardi

great looking bottle as well as the juice in it.a subtle scent with a bit of longevity. a bit sweet and abit smoky. not a head turner but more for the wearer to admire. classy and sophisticated.
26 January 2009

Danielle by Danielle Steel

floral and fantastic. 20 - 35 year old range. not fantasctic but definately sexy.
23 January 2009

Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men by Giorgio Armani

very delicious as armani is rethinking himself. enough aquatics and let's jump into the gourmand and oriental era. diamonds is indeed a subtle oriental with longevity. sweet but not overly done but very magical with the cocoa and pepper base. slightly above code even though they are a bit similiar. as a matter of fact someone asked if i had on code the other day but it was diamonds. one of the better new releases imo.
19 January 2009

Chloé (new) by Chloé

an older lady had this on and it just amazed me so i asked. mature and oriental. not for the faint of heart. very creamy and thick. old school in a new school era.
02 January 2009

Bulgari Aqua pour Homme by Bulgari

having many bvlgari scents in my lineup i added this a few years ago. a very nice scent is all i can say.a bit spicy and aquatic and decent longevity. i just don't use it because of the other scents i have that are similiar such as adg, 360 red, bermuda tonic and so on. it's in the middle of aquatics but if you find it at a dicounted price indeed pick it up.
21 December 2008

Carlos Santana for Men by Carlos Santana

a very rich blend of simple notes such as cinnamon bark, tonka,apples and others that pleases the nose. a comfort scent that yet appeals to others as well as the wearer.definately the best bang for the buck as it has a drug store price tag. a sweet and fruity powdery scent comparable to dior homme but no iris. a definate masterpiece that will always have a place on my shelf.
17 December 2008

Obsession Night for Men by Calvin Klein

bvlgari black without the rubber. very mundane and plain. reminds also of guess suede another designer that should stick to clothing. i love the original i must admit.
07 December 2008

Contradiction for Men by Calvin Klein

herbal with a touch of citrus. very different albeit not desirable. very subtle wlso a bit spicy. really this scent doesn't know what it wants to be. herbal, floral or spicy. a mess imo. i finally used the last drop on my pillowcase so i am happy. the lid stinks too.
07 December 2008

Homme Exceptionnel by Mont Blanc

a very modern and elegant woody aromatic fragrance. gourmand top notes of coffee and tonka that seduce blended with fresh mandarin wafts and lavender. mid notes of sage, mint and ginger that hang around for awhile to end with patchouli,amber and musk. quite possibly the best of 08. nothing else like it. very sexy more of an evening scent with simple notes that balance out perfectly. i'm guessing perfumer Harry Fremont was trying to go against dunhill's pursuit which is similiar in scent and color but this is far superior and elegant.
07 December 2008

Kenzoair by Kenzo

worst bottle of all time. anise and licoriceand really nothing else. very strangeang short lived.
07 December 2008

212 Men H2O by Carolina Herrera

very long lasting citrus burst. ver sexy and appealing. not much of a difference between this and original but i prefer this a bit more.i love all of ms. herrera's offerings except herrera(original and maybe sexy 212). otherwise if you like 360 red, burberry summer and aramis bermuda tonic you will love this also.
07 December 2008

Prada Amber pour Homme by Prada

brilliant!!!! powderey and sweet. not in your face but also not light imo. the top notes don't last long but give way to vanilla, tonka and amber which gets a lot of attention.orange blossom and neroli are usually mid notes but i guess do well giving prada a damn good finishing touch. amber indeed!! thumbs up for being very original.
24 November 2008

Minotaure by Paloma Picasso

marvelous top openinings of citrus, and base notes of vanilla and amber. also cedar????? very distinct and un 1992 ish. one of the greatest scents created imo. indeed burberry copied it with brit but the perfumer that created this also created burberry(1995) women's and men. go figure. anyway this is not a complicated fragrance but more of a feel good fresh oriental if there ever was one. very original also though to my nose hermes terre is along the same line but not enough kick as minotaure.
10 November 2008

Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren

one of the best sellers of all time. me being 28 years young have received this fragrance 3 christmas's in my younger days.a bit fruity and synthetic but still a classic up their with cool water. i have a bottle now that i spray around the house every now and then. great first timer's scent but the fragrance world has created better since 1993.go obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
06 November 2008

L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme by Guerlain

woody,spicy,green and gourmand. well blended pure genius. well developed all around scent. similiar to vera wang but with a bit more sweetness added. longevity is also great. 4 -6 hours on me.
03 November 2008

Palladio by Fragluxe

i had the michael angelo one also not fragluxe. the best thing about it was the cap. hand carved medieval times looking piece of art. anyway the scent is very light and not bad. a bit synthetic and heavy on the bergamot.
03 November 2008

Cool Water by Davidoff

by perfumer pierre bourdon which has also put together the beautiful individuel by mont blanc. cool water is a hate it or love it. hate it because it's been around 20 years and your relatives ( the cheap ones) always get you this or curve for your b-day. love it because it's one of the best and first aquatic's. i still love it. very well blended top notes even though my nose does not pick up peppermint but nonetheless a definate classic.also lasts awhile.
03 November 2008

Lacoste Elegance by Lacoste

terrific sensuous and sweet opening with a bubble gum kinda scent to it. the opening does hang aroung awhile imo a good thing. too bad the scent does not develop much after the opening. the spicy accords sre very much undetected besides nutmeg but then the scent dries nicely with an amber base. amber plays the trick on this one. love the scent but bring your atomizer for refills.
16 October 2008

Bobby Jones by Bobby Jones

some resemblancee to green valley and swiss army but no mint in my opinion which makes this better. a great everyday scent that grest sillage. the notes are very enjoying and never overbearing. amber plays it's part very discreetly but albeit well.the best green out their hands down.
09 October 2008

Must de Cartier pour Homme by Cartier

very creamy and rich substance. a bit of orange due to the mandarin but smoothed out by the tonka bean and vanilla. reminds you of declaration but with more kick and a bit of a creamy and rich feeling. classy and elegant, great for colder weather.
05 October 2008

Versace pour Homme by Versace

an intense aqua is what we have here. very adg like but much more due to the sage and cedarwood middle notes which kick in the spice with the citrus accord of the top notes. the amber note makes it a bit sweet but the musk and tonka give it longevity not matched by many aquas. maybe bermuda tonic and burberry summer.very bold, clean with a touch of spice . a sure hit.
04 October 2008

Gendarme by Gendarme

absolutely the worst fragrance line hands down. i have used this and V and they both suck. both lasts for 10 minutes and are so light no one smells it period. people say it's not for the user but the user's admirer. b.s. this is a complete ripoff that should have been discontinued years ago.
02 October 2008

Trussardi Uomo by Trussardi

a hot stale pile of gumbo with tarzan's sweat in it utterly 80's and very offensive. forget the drydown as i can't get past the top notes. very long lasting but who wants to smell like a chinese workshop?
28 September 2008

Mémoire d'Homme by Nina Ricci

i love grapefruit but as previously stated the ginger ruins it. no power and very dry. it's a basic scent with no complexity. if it were by calvin klein evry drugstore would sell it.
27 September 2008

Scott McClintock by Jessica McClintock

too sharp i could not wait for the drydownas i immeadiately washed the sample off and properly disposed of it in the backyard.very rich scent that has characteristics older gentlemen might like but not for the under 30 crowd.
23 September 2008

Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermès

it's an edc not edt folks. if it lasted more than an hour then it would be a problem. for a creation created in 1979 along with chaps (EWW)!!!!!!! this is pretty special.one of the best citruses of all time but it's basically orange. no papaya detected from me but the mango and mandarin do hold it's own for the longevity of duration. all in all 7 out of 10.
17 September 2008

Lucky Number 6 for Men by Lucky Brand

very simple but done well. with notes of natural herbs spices and woods the concoction came out a winner even though it wasn't a big seller i like it. like everyone here i paid a small price and might get another bottle or 2.
16 September 2008

Lucky You for Men by Lucky Brand

my girl wears themale version and it smells wonderful on her. whatever goes with your chemistry do it. i will not wear it though.
15 September 2008

Gendarme V by Gendarme

lemon and lemonbalm but not a lemony scent. i smell some lime and that's about it. i got a used bottle of ebay so it won't get a thumbs down.
09 September 2008

Lanvin L'Homme by Lanvin

a truely weird scent where the notes are all scrambled up. 10 minutes ago it's spicy and in 30 minutes it's aquatic. also synthetic and subtle. thumbs up for trying to be different but neutral for the results.
08 September 2008

John Varvatos by John Varvatos

having liked it, loved it and hated it as some others have stated is true for me also. maybe too many notes, too much expiermental expiermenting. has a bit in common with black walnut by banana republic also. both are subtle with jv being more fruity.i made the mistake of buying the 4.2 oz bottle and winding up giving it to my brother. too short on lasting power but a decent scent to say the least.
05 September 2008

NFL Cologne by Shiara

spice and sweat with a bit of tanginess.if you want to smell like brian urlacher high on oranges then go for it!!!!!!!!
04 September 2008

Présence Cool by Mont Blanc

out of the 3 mb's i own (individuel and presence) i wonder. what was he aiming for this being a limited edition that's been in production since 2001? puzzling. anyway a very safe run of the mill 15 minute scent,if that!! oxygen and salt as mid notes. come on mont.still a decent scent but no power or originality.
04 September 2008

Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label by Givenchy

as aqua's being my first love this pales in comparison to many others. to name a few hugh parson traditional, adg, bvlgari aqva but isn't a total miss. decent longevity with the grapefruit note i love that is in most carolina herrera's aqua's butit does not last as long. to say the most you can find it very cheap on ebay now that the hype is over and givenchy has had about 5 new releases since (blue's) arrival.
02 September 2008

V pour Homme by Valentino

romantic as cupid. not an everyday frag but for special nights and occasions for cuddling and well you know. fall/winter. too heavy for warm weather.
26 August 2008

Vendetta pour Homme by Valentino

up their with kouros as one of the nastiest and offensive colognes of all time. how come this is little known and kouros well liked. the answer is this was made 10 years later. valentino v is good but this lacks a smell that many if any man wants to smell like.
26 August 2008

Wild Woods for Men by Coty

for a cologne not bad. a decent woody scent that lasts a short time. a blind purchase that i am ok with.
26 August 2008

Wild Citrus for Men by Coty

nice subtle lime that last an hour or so. not bad for the price.
26 August 2008

Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent

over 40's scent. very strong and too masculine. i could only imagine bodybuilders and wrestlers wearing this kinda scent. definately different and strange. probably the weirdest scent most guys under 30 have ever encountered.
26 August 2008

Jaïpur Homme by Boucheron

i guess it's an up in the air kinda scent. i myself love sweet scents (JPG,DESIRE, JPG 2) ETC.. this right here is too much for me. sweet like uv man by paco which i hate but at least i do admire the complexity of the middle notes. i think the clove makes it ultra feminine though.
26 August 2008

Sander for Man by Jil Sander

the spicy middle note and the base notes of incense and myrrh are magical. very unique scent. i would not say (green) but a very romantic and uncasual scent. wear this one out with your lady friend to get her in the mood.
26 August 2008

Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana

14 strong years and still going. this one will never be discontinued.very masculine drydown of cedar & sandalwood & tobacco.lasts and lasts throughout the day and evening. not for the faint of heart as it tends to be overbearing at times but to say the least this is a perfect scent.
26 August 2008

Fuel For Life pour Femme by Diesel

very strong willed scent. the pepper and blackcurrant do the trick. not for every woman. sort of like michael, not in smell but for strong willed independant women.
16 August 2008

Mackie for Men by Bob Mackie

undeveloping 90's typical lavender scent. very boring and green. not much else to say.
11 August 2008

Noir by Christian Lacroix

i was let down also but at least it's cheap and inoffensive. very short lived clean and sweet fragrance. maybe it will last longer on your skin. this and black walnut are big letdown's in my book.
10 August 2008

Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren

one of the freshest and simpleist scents ever.very plain but catchy. good but not great but every man should at least sample it for yourself. i was lucky and won it in a raffle.great for summer and spring.

Déclaration by Cartier

if sweet wood is your thing then look no further. a subtle masterpiece with good sillage that will demand compliments. it does stick close to you which is the the only downside of a perfect classy everyday scent. not for clubbing but work and everyday. now i must try the other declaration's.

Chaleur d'Animale pour Homme by Animale Parfums

one of the worst green scents ever. very sharp and strong. smells like dog vomit and burning hay. terrible that's why it's so cheap. i got a used bottle on ebay for 7 bucks and that was too much. definately a repulsive and nasty scent here guys.

Japanese Cherry Blossom by Bath and Body Works

a very lively and rich scent. girls and women love as i feel it has a universal smell. this, love speel and pear blossom are top of the line cheap scents that are welcome to all ages and races.

Burberry Summer for Men by Burberry

the best burberry imo. one of the better summer scents second to aramis's bermuda tonic. refreshing and long lasting masculine and clean with a bit of spice and floral. unique and uplifting in everyway.
02 August 2008

Geir by Geir Ness

a subtle edp with great longevity. a natural clean and sweet scent that is uncomparable. safe and sexy but maybe a tad bit overpriced.

Bulgari pour Homme Soir by Bulgari

i agree with jude c. wonderful and original but too light. an extreme version is needed.
31 July 2008

Blu Notte pour Homme by Bulgari

i like it. it will grow on you like armpit hair. very simple and fresh made toofresh with gourmand notes also. not a wow! fragrance but it will get you some attention.
31 July 2008

Bulgari Black by Bulgari

i have had my bottle for 2 years and have never worn this in public and never will. not a bad scent but it does not make me do backflips neither.one dimensional and a bit short on longevity.
31 July 2008

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

better than the new one whichis terribly terrible but no match to original. it lasts awhile but not my kinda scent. a fougure type that does not reach home plate.
31 July 2008

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake

one of the frshest longest lasting creations the gods have ever made. a true masterpiece. floral and fresh but very unfeminine. one of the best 10 colognes imo ever produced.
31 July 2008

Marc Jacobs for Men by Marc Jacobs

of the handful of fruit based scents (adg melon and quasar banana) this is right in the middle. an extreme version should have been made with more power and this would have been a classic. high priced for such low longevity but definately different from anything you have ever smelled.
31 July 2008

Cristobal pour Homme by Balenciaga

very poor. very synthetic and sweet.just awful. joop clone done worse than the original.
31 July 2008

Voyage by Nautica

very nice and unique. a fresh green scent that does not wreak of fresh cut grass. it last a long time on my skin also. not the most complex scent but a very good one.
25 July 2008

Orange Spice by Creed

one of creed's best. forget happy and d&g masculine. this is orange and spice as previously mentioned. a great daytime scent.
22 July 2008

Green Valley by Creed

green ain't my thing. no kiton no paul smith and a definate no to this one dimensional piec of junk. overpriced as well. this and royal waterare 2 i recommend on trying before buying.
22 July 2008

Dior Homme by Christian Dior

manly and sweet. not for all. in the same class as black walnut by banana republic but far more interesting. iris is not used in many fragrances only this and dreamer that i know and i love them both. i have 2 bottles of this and very satisfied. a bitpricey but well worth it. if you like D&G AND DREAMER YOU SHOULD ENJOY THIS SENSATION.
21 July 2008

Silver Shadow by Davidoff

weak again but discintcly different. sweet and kinda earthly smell that is a bit odd. over 40 crowd only . my old man finished the bottle i lended him and got plenty of compliments. he's 60.
21 July 2008

Zino Davidoff by Davidoff

blind purchase but not dissapointed or gracious either with zino being created 22 years ago i guess it's aimed at the older crowd but it lacks sillage as all davidoff's do. none last for over 2 hours and you figured the guy would have fixed this by now. anyway the legendary obsession wa created in 86 also so i am neutral about zino. p.s. i bought the 4.2 oz one. lucky me.
21 July 2008

Echo by Davidoff

i had my 3.4 oz bottle for 3 years and used half of it. then i broke it and now realize that i miss echo. in the same class as chrome and the original kenneth cole but with a lttle more uummpp in it do to the pepper note. aimed at the under 30 crowd fo sho.
21 July 2008

Adventure Quasar by J del Pozo

a light clean and crisp scent that's a bit too light.bombay gin as a middle is quite odd but hey i guess whatever works. this is in the same class as the genderme scents " too light"!!!!!!!!
21 July 2008

212 Men by Carolina Herrera

great clean and citrus scent that last and last. quite a few haters on this board even though you should try yourself.
21 July 2008

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

sometimes i like it and other times i hate it . a definate cold weather scent as it is untolerable in warm weather. i love the women's version but this is a bit too much from a male's point of view.
20 July 2008

Visit by Azzaro

too much spice and 80's smell. overbearing and stale you must be over 50 to pull this one off.
15 July 2008

Chrome by Azzaro

was good when i wore it in the early 2000's but i guess my nose has grown to aramis bermuda tonic and geir ness and the beautiful nicole miller. tops amongst teens along with curve.
15 July 2008

Acqua di Giò pour Homme by Giorgio Armani

great aquatic but 360 red is cheaper.wonderful melony smell that women love.
15 July 2008

Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani

it is what it is. the number 3 or 4 club scent behind JPG,ADG, and allure. very sweet but not dark. i bought 2 bottles so.........
15 July 2008

Brit for Men by Burberry

it's basically minotaure eau fraiche or light or whatever. vanilla and orange lightly done.
15 July 2008

Gucci Pour Homme II by Gucci

a very spicy and sweet scent reminiscent of no other. not as masculine as GPH but a winner as well. a bit weak in comparison also but i still like it.
15 July 2008

Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

well blended intense masterpiece. not for the faint of heart. this screams masculinity from top note to bottom note unlike part 2 . tom did this and m7, hmm.
15 July 2008

Envy Me by Gucci

i bought this for my now ex 3 years ago and still remember the smell. very calming and floral with a kick due to the pink pepper. very chic.
15 July 2008

Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior

potent citrus old school done perfectly. i use it rarely but always gets stares from the older crowd.
15 July 2008

Unforgivable by Sean John

never smelled the bond scent but i do have MI and smells the same besides longevity. ok casual scent with a bit of a kick. puffy ordiddy remakes everything so this should not have surprised anyone.
15 July 2008

Havana by Aramis

i can't stand it!!! way too strong for my nose. very 1980 ish.
15 July 2008

Aramis 900 by Aramis

terrible imo. medicine does not smell sexy. very harsh and aramis's worst to date
15 July 2008

Aramis Bermuda Tonic by Aramis

the best aquatic out their. spicy and fresh and very long lasting on my skin. aramis has been in the game for years and i see why. very affordable
15 July 2008

Escada Moon Sparkle for Men by Escada

above average,clean summer scent. above sunset which was a total waste. also if this does not float your boat try aramis bermuda tonic. it's the best warm weather scent ever!!!!!!
15 July 2008

Lagerfeld Classic by Lagerfeld

great old school scent. classic,rich and a wonder to the nose.only 3 haters here and i wonder why
29 April 2008

Dunhill Pure by Alfred Dunhill

oceanic and clean. this is what creed's erolfa should have been. to bad it came out along with pursuit. dunhill, why bring out two fragrances at the same time? anyway not your normal aquatic scent and worth owning definately
28 April 2008

360 Degrees Black For Men by Perry Ellis

i am not a fan of bvlgari black or this. perry's worst remake since 360 blue.
28 April 2008

360 Degrees Red for Men by Perry Ellis

one of my fav's. perry remakes classics this and 360 white at an affordable price in a messed up society. why pay 50 for armani when you can save yoursel at least half of that?
28 April 2008

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès

very well done graasy and slightly sitrus scent. longevity is an issue but an overall good scent. price is a bit much for it's lack of power.
