Bulgari Black by Bulgari

This surely is a re-release!!! The original (which I own and was looking to replace) is unforgettable, phenomenal... The new bottle is a huge disappointment

Lacoste pour Homme by Lacoste

This brings me to great memories of when I first met my husband as a young man. He wore this on our first date. But for me this fragrance is right where it belongs: in the past. Perhaps it is well suited for fragrance beginners or very young men. It is crisp and subtle, but lacks depth.

Allure Eau de Toilette by Chanel

Disappointing and cheap compared with the pure parfum which is remarkable, delicious. Save up for the parfum or the EDP: this EDT is a waste of time.

Allure Eau de Parfum by Chanel

Gorgeous fragrance: complex, rich, great sillage. Different notes display prominently depending on your body chemistry. Unforgettable.

Mania (original) by Giorgio Armani

I adore this fragrance. I gave it to my sister for her birthday many years ago, and we were both heartbroken when it was discontinued.

Pure Poison Elixir by Christian Dior

I bought this for myself a few years ago; I guess it had just been released. I needed something really powerfully sexy and this was it. A seductive punch in the face. Great complexity, VERY SEXUAL, smooth and easy on the dry down, long life. Unabashed hedonism in a bottle.

Blush by Marc Jacobs

Gorgeous. So simple, fresh and pretty and innocent. I bought it to wear on my wedding day. Perfection.

Sienna by Crabtree & Evelyn

I bought it for my husband as an intro to wearing scent everyday. He's not as nose-y as I am, so I thought this would be a nice easy push to get him into fragrance. It's working well. The sweetness blends into his chemistry really well, and the smoky, leathery spices give his macho-ness some refinement. He's getting a lot more attention than usual from women. He likes it. So do I.
