Fragrance Reviews by tanto

You know what? Curve is not at the top of any "perfumista's" list but it is a real nice scent. It's easy going and not cloying in any way. OK, it's common and ordinary but you can't mistaken Curve for anything else but a male fragrance. In moderation, it smells fresh, clean, subtle, and manly. It almost changes with the wearers own body chemistry. I like it!

Z-14 is a fragrance classic. I have a bottle of this and where it on occasion. I like the citrusy opening and find that the cinnamon middle notes smell great on me. The leathery dry down is great and long lasting, too. This is the type of scent that I can wear all day and never get a headache from it. Funny, but being this frag is now so old, young people will ask me what it is and then ask ........is it new? I hope EA continues to keep making it because many "older" guys still wear it.

Call it whatever you want but there is still something very nice about Grey Flannel. Yes, it is "old school" but also very fresh and manly. I wore it when it was first launched and recently bought a bottle at TJ MAX for under $20 bucks. I've worn it to work several times and received numerous compliments on it, too. It's so old that young people think its new and older people don't remember it.

Oh dear! After reading some of the negative reviews, I realize how feminine mens frags have become through the years and since the days of British Sterling (1965). Yes men, I do remember it well. Men have now become used to "sweeter" fragrances. British Sterling is clean cut, manly, and pleasant. There's no way it can be mistaken for anything else BUT a true mens scent. British Sterling mixed with a light dose of "man musk" makes for a REAL MAN and nothing in between either. I guess those days are long gone based on the silly "popular" scents of today that young men douse themselves in and then think they smell so "sexy" for women to enjoy. Based on statistics and pheromone studies, they don't at all.

I wore this scent on my wedding day back in 1974. Compliments beyond belief! Back then it was called Aramis Herbal (the word herbal was big back then). It has excellent longevity and the dry down is very good. This stuff is real pleasing and fresh smelling. too. Yes, it does smell a lot like Elixir of Aromatics by Clinique. At the same time, Aramius 900 smells very European, too.

I bought this in Nov '73, when it first came out. It made for many hot times. Women loved this on a guy. It's real simple but clean smelling. To this day, I still like it!

This was really a nice "summer" scent. It had a soft, fruity base to it. I liked the sillage and longevity of this fragrance. It always had a clean refreshing quality to it that was never cloying nor tireing. Yes, it is very 80's but in a nice, refined way. I really wish they would bring it back because I would be the first to buy it.

Despite some of the negative reviews, I really like the scent of Skin Bracer. It's a pleasant fougere and is also subtle and noncloying. For many it's a "classic". This scent goes great with my body chemistry and skin type, too. And to quote some of the comments, " I wear it, it doesn't wear me"!

Intimate was one of my mom's favorites. I can still smell it in my mind. Too bad it was discontinued by Revlon because it was a real classy fragrance!

I always liked this fragrance. I first purchased it in 1981. OK, today it is a little dated but yet it can also be considered a classic. PS has excellent longevity and it can change according to the wearers own chemistry. I'm a dark, hairy guy and this scent really blends well with
my "sweaty" chemistry. It's spicy but fresh and pleasant to smell on anyone. Sometimes older, classic scents are almost like "comfort foods" that you never really tire of.

I just tested this at Macy's today and also bought a bottle. It opens up with a real pleasing aroma of orange blossoms. I like it because it is a real "clean" smelling fragrance. You can really smell the mixture of different citrus fruits i.e., tangelo's, mandarins, etc and even some jasmine. If you like a nice clean scent, this is for you. One of the nicest things about this is that it does not smell of cotton candy or tobacco or leather. It does not conform to the trends of the present day frags. I like it !!

This is a nice fragrance to wear anytime. It has a tropical sweetness to it but it is not overbearing. Some reviews say this is strictly a summer scent but I have worn it all year round because I do like it. Remember....."one man's joy is another man's misery". Anyway, I really don't care what people think !!

Despite the many negative reviews, I do like this fragrance. Yes, it starts off sweet but the dry down is very pleasing. On me, it lasts a long time. It has some "cotton candyness" to it but also some amber, vanilla, and some soft oriental notes. Actually, I like this frag in the summer, too. There's something about it that makes it very pleasing to smell and easy to wear. In other words, it is a "soft" fragrance and nothing cloying or harsh. Others have given me compliments whenever I wear V.

This is one of my old favorites. It's classy and dignified, too. Sure, there is lavender in it but also vanilla and herbs. Originally this was called "Le Plus Bel Lavande Pour Homme". The name was changed about 20 yrs ago. It is long lasting without ever being "cloying". To me, this fragrance represents a very stable man who doesn't follow the many "silly" fragrance trends of the present day. Whenever I wear this people will always comment on how pleasing it is to the senses. Often, women will often say it is "unforgetable" because it is so distinct.

You can call this scent "dated" or something out of "grandma's closet' but it sure smells "girly". That's right, girly! Women don't understand that feminine scents are a turn on for men. So many of these new aquatics for women don't smell girly at all. The best way to explain it is a cologne for men that smells girly and not manly would be a turn off to women. So ladies, there is nothing wrong with a woman smelling feminine even in the year 2009. White Shoulders is feminine and it is a turn on for men. Unless some woman prefer smelling manly?

This is the most beautiful of all of the Balenciaga fragrances for women. Yes, it has a hint of jasmine, white flowers, cinnamon, and spice. It is very feminine and sexy. This is the kind of frag people never get tired of smelling. Wonderful !

My wife bought a bottle of this at Walgreen's. Funny, although I hated the original Giorgio for women, I really like this stuff. It smells very fresh, clean, and sexy. It reminds me of the summer and being at the seashore but it's really not all that aquatic. I've worked in marketing with the same perfume house for over 30 yrs and sometimes a great scent comes along from a "has been" giant and it's a real winner.......but no one knows about it because it's from a a "has been" company (at least in the frag industry, anyway). Too bad because this Giorgio Blue is really nice !!

King of what? I guess he means King of loser fragrances. Horrible !!

"Much ado" about nothing !! Common, ordinary and very poor longevity.
Don't waste your money on this loser. It's not worth it.

When I first smelled Joop at Bloomingdale's back in 1991, I really thought it was horrible. As time passed I grew to like it. It was very avante garde in its day but today, there are many frags that are along the same character as Joop. I used to wear this (very moderately) back in the mid 90's and actually enjoyed it. I guess Joop is a classic even though it is a bit dated.

OK, this is not a high end designer frag per say however, it has a lot of good things going on. I guess the combination of the ingredients give it a subtle, spicy aroma. Actually, it's subtleness gives it a lot more class than some of those overly high priced designer frags that are "here today and gone tomorrow". Colors Uomo has a very distinctive aroma and it is also very rich smelling. I still wear this and always receive a compliment or two on how "sexy" it smells. This has been on the market for 21yrs and it is still in a class of its own. Nothing else on the market smells like Colors. To me, it's original and real pleasant to smell.

When I was a teenage guy in high school (back in the mid 60's) this was the scent that all of the girls wore. It was really a nice sexy smell. Powdery, warm and not too strong. Wow, that was 44yrs ago. To this day, Heaven Sent reminds me of those "first" intimate times with the girls. It brings back so many fond and very pleasant memories.

Great fragrance. Clean, aquatic with some spiciness. Pleasant to the senses. Unpleasant to the pocket. Absolutely not worth the money.......very limited longevity. On me, maybe half an hour if that long !!

This is my least favorite fragrance for men. I absolutely hate this stuff. To me. it is such an annoying smell that almost reminds me of a more "fruitier" Gray Flannel (but not as nice). Chrome is a horror !

This has always been a favorite in Italy for many guys both old and young. I was born in Milano and I remember that all of the young guys in high school would wear this as their "first" after shave lotion (and proud of it, too). How this brings me back to my youth with very pleasant memories of doing all of the things that a 16yr guy did back then. Unfortunately, the new manufacturer Visconti di Modrone has changed the original formula. The fragrance is now 'lacking" in something. Again, why change a good thing. Eventually, consumers catch on and say "bye-bye".

Often, Silvestre is compared to Pino Silvestre BUT, Silvestre was definitely richer smelling. This was launched by the house of Victor of Milano (Acqua di Selva, Fresca, and Victor). I used this way back in the 60's when I was still living in Milano. It was one of my favorites. To this day, I can still remember its wonderful scent in my head. Unfortunately, the house of Victor was taken over by another company and they have definitely "watered down" the original formulas. In actuality, when companies do this they are eventually going to "water down' their own profits, too. Never change a good thing !!

Clean and fresh best describes Fresh Energy. It has an almost "minty" opening to it along with other real "fresh" notes. I really like this one. It is subtle and long lasting. I was ablr to find it in Marshall's for under $20 for the 3.4oz spray. Fresh Energy has a character all its own and it is very agreeable, too.

This is one scent I could never wear (nor would I purchase it). I think it is so medicinal and unpleasing. There is just something about it that turns my stomach. Unfortunately, I put this in the same league as Givenchy's Very Irresistible.....HORRIBLE !!!

To me, Paradise is a very pleasing scent. Its a nice mix of papaya w/ other notes. As most people have mentioned that it has a very poor longevity, on me, Paradise will last for hours. This is an easy frag to wear and always smells very "fresh". I like it !

I purchased this for my wife in 1973. Too bad it became unavailable because it is really a nice frag. "China Crepe" and it smelled so very clean and sexy, too. Why do they discontinue the old classics and replace them with the new "disasters" ???

Tuscany was alright but nothing "special". I can't see the connection to Tuscany, Italy (where I have been many times). I found Tuscany very "frustrating" to wear because of it's poor longevity. I guess that's why they later came out with Tuscany Forte'. The basic idea of this scent was good but I think they needed to add or remove something in order to really make it work. Very "ordinary run of the mill".

This stuff was OK. I really couldn't understand what it was intended to be because the sillage and longevity were "lousy". I wore it for a short while in 1990 because it was given to me as a gift. Nothing to brag about here. Smelled "clean" for the 30mins you could actually smell it after application.......then disappeared like a "puff of smoke".

Havana was a very pleasing fragrance. Subtle, spicy, and manly. I enjoyed wearing this one for as long as it was on the market. I'm a swarthy, hairy kind of guy and this stuff really mixed well with my body chemistry. It also smelled great if you start to sweat. This is a more "toned down" version of JHL and much more diluted, too. I really liked Havana and would gladly buy it again if it was available.

JHL to me has always smelled like Estee Lauder Youth Dew for women. This stuff is very, very strong but not completely "manly". Yes, it is spicy but in a very feminine way. If a guy had this on he would smell very "obtrusive". It reminds me of YSL's Opium and Estee Lauder's Cinnibar. If a guy would have this on, he is struggling to be noticed and to get ATTENTION. Too, too "womanly".

Old school classic......absolutey! When worn in moderation, it smells good. You have to be a swarthy, hairy chested, manly kind of guy in order to really pull this off. The kind of guy who can wear Aramis can also wear Givenchy Gentleman very well, too. It's more than just wearing the fragrance, it's an attitude.

This scent for me is a "headache". It is a very strong version of Habit Rouge combined with Mennen Skin Bracer BUT much sweeter than both of them. I purchased it at Marshall's for under $20 for the 3.4oz size. When I finally wore it I had to take anoher shower in order to get this smell off of me. Simply......HORRIBLE !!

Classic, clean, and so French !! They don't make fragrances like this any more.

Ah yes, the year was 1986, the location was NYC, the scent was Poison! Just about every woman in NYC stunk of this horrible concoction. Why? Because it was fashionable to wear and mostly every women wanted to be "in vogue" and follow the trends of the present day. All of NYC stunk of "Poison (Grape Juice)". Thank God this scent is now passe' and we don't have to deal with it anymore. No love lost, for sure !!!

Portfolio Elite is still one of my favorites. I wore this in the tropics in 2002 and it smelled just great. Mixes real well with my chemistry. On me you can really smell the vetiver, apple, and tonka. Very pleasant. I guess a lot has to do with a guys own body chemistry. Too bad this is no longer available in the dept stores but many of the independent frag shops do carry it.

To me, this is quite a nice frag. It is an aquatic but not common and ordinary by any means. Stands out in the crowd because it is so "fresh" smelling. Whenever I have this on people will always ask what it is. YES, this has received many negative reviews on this site but guys keep in mind one thing......it smells "MANLY". I have nothing else to say.

This was such a distinctive yet refined fragrance. It was one of my favorites and it really suited just about any occasion. Why Gucci discontinued this is a real mystery to me because the new Gucci frags are nothing to brag about. I guess ever since they were sold to P & G, things changed a lot (not for the best either). This is something that always happens when huge companies buy the smaller designer houses. They are always soooooo GREEDY and make huge blunders because of their greed. They never seem to learn from their mistakes either.

I agree 100% with JaimeB's review. I too truly enjoyed this fragrance because it was so unique and very pleasant to the senses. No matter where I would be people of all ages would comment on how nice I smelled. Sad that it was discontinued because this was a true "fragrance masterpiece". Very unusual but in a nice way. Paco Rabanne should have discontinued XS for Men (which to me is horrible) instead of Tenere. Sometimes companies make mistakes they "perhaps" realize later on. In my mind I can still smell this wonderful fragrance and I really wish I could buy it again !!

This is a wonderful fragrance that was so popular many years ago (my mom loved it). It's hard to describe but definitely not floral. Arpege is very pleasing, smells "classy", and something that you don't find offensive on anyone.

This fragrance to me was a huge disappointment. I realized this after I purchased it. It smells dirty......like something unclean. It almost reminds me of the old Ferragamo which came out in the late 90's. Very medicinal. The bottle is awkward and very difficult to spray because the neck is too slender. Don't waste your hard earned money on this one because it's a 'bomb" but some of the other Paul Smith frags are truly great.

This is a great scent. OK, it might be a bit dated but it is still very masculine and pleasant to smell. I guess that it would be considered an 80's "powerhouse" scent but it is definitely not as obtrusive as some of those 80's scents (which I really don't like anymore). This scent can be worn almost anytime but better for evening use. What I like about Boss One is that it cannot be mistaken for anything else because it has a characer of its own. The dry down smells terrific. I think it is better suited for men in their 40's or older.

This is a really nice fragrance. The only way I can describe it is that it smells exactly like Polo Crest which came out in the early 90's.......I really liked that, too. Most likely it is Polo Crest with a new name and package design. This is a great frag to wear to work because it is nonobtrusive or cloying. Very subtle, pleasant, and classy !!

DKNY Men recently arrived at Macy's in NYC. I had a whiff of this fragrance today and truthfully, I really like it !! It is difficult to describe but has a very "clean" note to it. To me, it doesn't smell like anything else on the market today. What's nice is that it doesn't follow the fragrance trends of the present day. It smells very "New York" and in a category of its own. I am going to purchase this because it is a nice daytime fragrance.

Lovely scent. Refined, elegant, very European. I gave this to my fiance when we were still courting back in the early 70's. Although she wore many expensive frags, this too was one of her favorites because it had a scent all its own........feminine (without being too sweet or flowery), classy, and somewhat avant garde. I was able to purchase it on E 86th St, NYC, at some of the German stores that were there back then. They have all since left that area and I have never seen Tosca again, anywhere. Too bad because it is a fragrance "masterpiece".

I was given Troika as a gift when I was 23 years old. It was my absolute favorite fragrance. Troika was so pleasing to the senses and very clean smelling, too. Whenever I had on Troika, people would always comment on how nice it was. It did smell a bit like 4711 but with more "body" to it. It was a citrus scent with some green and leather in it. It lasted on my skin for much longer than 4711. It was almost on the order of Piver's Parfum d' Adventure Pour Homme. I wish they still made it because for sure, I would still buy it !!

Ahhhhh such a wonderful blend of florals, citrus, and woods. I liked this from the first time it was launched at Bloomingdale's NYC in Sept '91. Today, it can be purchased at many discount stores and at a discount price, too. It has an excellent sillage and longevity. No matter where I am if I have on 1881, there will always be at least 1 compliment from a total stranger telling me I smell so good. This frag is one of my staples and will always be. I never tire of 1881 !!

I like this fragrance because it is spicy and very soft at the same time. When I first apply it, it smells great but after a couple of hours, it turns very rancid on me. I know it is because of my swarthy/hairy skin and body chemistry. Too bad because I really do like this one alot. There is nothing wrong with Jaipur......it just doesn't work on me.

Strong, overbearing, and medicinal. This is one fragrance that I find has "no appeal". The best way to wear this fragrance is to keep it in it's bottle on top of your dresser !! When it was popular in the mid 80's, women would wear this and think they were so "fashionable" BUT what they don't realize is that when they walked out of the room, other people would comment on how horrible it was. I'm so happy that this stink water is now out of vogue and we no longer have to suffer through smelling it on others.

There is something about Egoiste that I like very much but, I can not put my finger on it. It is very different and like no other frag on the market. I live in NYC and this is almost impossible to find anywhere. Too bad, I would gladly purchase it again.

My grandmother used this for many years (old version). The new version is pleasant but the old version brings back many fond memories of her. Why do these perfumers change a "good thing"? Even though the fragrance has been updated a bit, the name still remains the same. Of course, people know it is something from days gone bye. Then, why bother to change the original fragrance at all?

To me, this scent reminds me of my mom's friend who back in the late 50's was a model for Dior. She was a lovely woman and every time she came from France to visit, she would bring my mom a bottle of Diorling and Ma Griffe. My mom wore Me Griffe all of the time. I remember it to be a very pleasing, clean kind of a scent and never "over bearing". Things were different back then and I am sure that Ma Griffe has been changed from its original formulation.

This is a fragrance for women like no other. My wife has worn Pheromone for approx 30 years and YES, people still ask her what it is. This is in a category of its own. It is pleasant and sexy at the same time. Once it has settled on the skin, it turns out to be a fragrance that is indescribable......like no other. There are "green" notes to it with some mild spice that is not "cloying" by any means. It's clean smelling but not "soapy". It would actually require many pages in order to fully describe Pheromone correctly. I will say this, like Chanel No5, Pheromone for women is also in a class by itself. Timeless !!!

I purchased this and Cuir de Russie in Bloomingdale's back in 1991 and have never sen them since then......anywhere. They are both such an easy fragances to wear. Very pleasant to the senses. If anyone comes across the Piver frags, please let me know.

Unfortunately, no matter how much I try to like this fragrance it just doesn't work (for me anyway). It is absolutely horrible. There is a "chocolatey" scent to it that I find sickening. I like all of the other Givenchy scents (except Pi). Very Irresistible should be taken off the market. I'm shocked that it has lasted this long. Who wears it?

I liked this when it was first introduced at Macy's (NYC) in 1989. I wore it a few times then for some reason I started to dislike it very much. Perhaps because it is so synthetic. To this day, whenever I come across it at a discount store, it turns my stomach.

Despite so many of the negative reviews, I liked this. When it first was launched at Macy's in NYC back in September '89, it was different. There was a clean note to it. Many guys purchased it and really enjoyed wearing it, too. Infact, I was able to get my "last" bottle of it at Marshall's this past April ('08). Who knows, maybe someday they'll bring it back.

Back in 1965, this was the "in" cologne for guys to wear especially in NYC. He could get almost any "chick" he wanted as long as he had on Brut. This stuff did something to the girls. They would go crazy over the smell of Brut especially when it was mixed with a little bit of his own perspiration. Remember, back then there were just deodorants, anti-perspirants didn't come out on the market until 1970. These gals would go nuts over any guy who had on Brut. It was like an aphrodisiac to them. I remember it so well and I can honestly say that there has never been another mens fragrance since Brut that could "turn on" a woman in the same way. What it is, I don't know BUT the fragrance is clean, manly, and pleasing.

There was nothing "ultra" or complex to Babe BUT it was a very pleasing scent. Some of my female friends in school wore it. I found it to be "sexy" in its own way. It was a 70's "turn on" scent for guys to enjoy. Soapy, fresh, and clean !

My Mom used to wear this when I was a kid. Occasionally I'll smell this on some older women. It was really popular in the 60's and even into the early 70's. It is very subtle and pleasant but a little bit on the heavy side though not sickening in any way. More of a winter fragrance.

I have to laugh at some of the reviews for Quorum. This is certainly not a 'little boys" fragrance at all. However, it's a "mans fragrance". By all means this does separate the "men from the boys". It's deep, sensual, and most important......MANLY! So, if you're into aquatics, this is definitely NOT FOR YOU. End of discussion.

Too much orange blossom in this fragrance. Smells very much like Kouros (but not as nice). Some of the dept stores in NYC and the surrounding area have already returned this fragrance back to the vendor. The only nice thing about it is the great looking "Le Male" bottle design in white. Other than that, this is a real, true FLOP !!

Just smelled this today for the first time. It was on a young lady in my office. I like it. It's sexy, fresh, floral, and "upbeat". Ideal for a young career woman. As Gblue said in her review, "it's a fun fragrance" and it really is. As a youthful middle-aged guy, I think the "fresh" notes in Ma Dame are a real TURN ON. Ladies, try it !!

This a great scent. I purchased it at Bloomingdale's in Dec '92. I really enjoyed wearing it. It's a mixture of cotton candy and tobacco. It was very avante garde for that time. I would definitely buy it again but I can't find it anywhere.

This is a Puig masterpiece. I purchased it just as soon as it was launched (Nov ' 90). Many people would compliment me on this scent. It was on the market for a few years then suddenly "disappeared" in 1993. Too bad because this is a very rich, subtle, and manly fragrance. Mixes real well with a guy's own body chemistry and body scent. There is nothing "unisex" about this fragrance because it is 100% male! If it was available today in the USA, I would make this my "signature scent". I really miss not having it.

I totally agree with mrclimind's review. I originally purchased this scent in Sephora when it first came out on the market. Yes, it is pleasant and well done but nothing extraordinary. Oddly enough, I recently found it in TJ Max for 1/4 of the original price I paid for it 8 years ago. Good scent, very well done, and better when purchased at bargain basement prices.

Great scent. Fresh and manly. This is a real "man smell". Blends real well with a guy's own "man musk". Try it guys !!

This was one of my favorites. Classic, refreshing, and never over powering. Ahhhhh, what a pity that so many classics from yesteryear are no longer available. I would stock up on this one in a heartbeat. I can still smell it in my mind !!

I purchased Bulgari Soir a few weeks ago and wore it for the first time to a "black tie" affair last Saturday night in NYC. What a dissapointment !!! Even though I applied more then enough fragrance, it only lasts for about 30mins. Wearing this or nothing is the same thing. Guys, don't waste your money on this one because it doesn't last.

Very synthetic. Common and ordinary. I purchased it and regreted doing so afterwards.
This is a typical "here today, gone tomorrow" scent.

Derby has been and will always be one of my favorites. It is a classy leather-chypre like no other. Subtle, maculine, and sexy. I was able to purchase it at Saks and Bergdorf's but now it is impossible to find in the USA. I wish they would relaunch it in the States. Whenever I wore Derby people would always ask me...."what cologne are you wearing?" "It smells great!" YES, it is very pleasing to the "senses".

This is a very rich, warm fragrance. It is very pleasant and an old classic from a different era. This was one of Jackie Kennedy Onassis's favorites while she was first lady and for some time there after. It's the kind of fragrance that is of appeal to certain women, but not to all. "Either you love it or you hate it".

There is something about this fragrance that I really like. It's a very pleasant citrusy scent that goes well with my body chemistry. Every time I have this on people will always ask me what it is.
It lasts a long time, too. Above all, it doesn't change as the day goes on. Sometimes certain fragrances can actually give me a terrible headache, this never does!

I tried it and unfortunately I don't like it at all. Too synthetic. As Andrew The Cologne Guy said...."it lacks originality". To me, it's common and ordinary and follows the trend of todays scents

Caltha describes this scent beautifully. Yes, "classy", very, very, "classy"!! It never goes out of style even though it is almost forty years old. This is one scent I never tire of. People always compliment me whenever I where Equipage. Basically, it is perfect for any time of day. Never "loud" or annoying. Subtle and rich.

In response to some of the reviews. Chanel Pour Monsieur definitely went through a tremendous makeover in 1989. I've worn this fragrance since 1965, when it was in its "original" state. In 1989, the concentre' version came out on the market. It smells more like CK's Obsession for Men than Chanel for Men. Later on the EDT was launched in Europe. That too has lost the fine quality that the original 1955 eau de cologne had. Why change a good thing?

This has always been one of my favorites. It's in a class of its own. Yes, it's strong but when worn in moderation people always comment on how pleasant it is. "Timeless" is the best way to describe this classic Chanel fragrance for men.

This fragrance was in all of the lavatories on an Alitalia 747 flight to Rome in March, 1975. All of the woman (and men, too) were refreshing themselves with it. To this very day, I find this fragrance to be very pleasant and so European. It's clean, light, and reminds me so much of summer in the Mediteranean countries. I think that this fragrance is also ideal for a career woman to wear to the office. It's never "overbearing". Ladies, try it !

Again, my comment on Chanel No. 19, is the same as for all of the original Coco Chanel fragrances......."timeless and classic" Definitely not for the common, ordinary woman. The whole thing with "class" is, either you have it or you don't.

This is the fragrance that a beautiful, young, sophisticated bride should wear on her wedding day. Nothing can ever come close to Chanel No. 22 It's "class" put in a bottle. Either you have it or you don't.

To me, this is still in a class of its own......Timeless!
Anyone who can not appreciate this fragrance should not comment on it because by so doing, you are actually disclosing your ignorance to the world.

This has always been one of my favorites. It's very European (like me). This is a classic and still very much worn amongst the Europeans. Clean, lemony, and never overpowering. I think this scent seperates "the men from the boys". Always in good taste !

Interesting fragrance. I used it for a few years. It was a nice clean, brisk scent for men. It reminded me very much of a more citrusy version of Drakkar Noir however, a bit more "lively". I preferred Bowling Green over Drakkar Noir without a doubt. Sorry it was discontinued.

This is one of my all time favorites. I wore this back in high school 40 years ago (it was very popular then). To this day, I feel very comfortable wearing EL. Yes, I have more expensive brands but EL to me is always right for almost any occasion and any time of day. It is clean smelling and very manly. Whenever I wear EL, people will always ask me what cologne I have on. Many times, the "old classics" are more favorably appreciated than the newer ones (which are often very strong, synthetic, and over bearing). If you're a guy who just wans to smell clean and fresh, English Leather will never let you down!

Classy!! This "outshines" all citrus fragrances. It's in a class of its own. Never overwhelming and annoying. I dislike fragrances that "arrive" before the wearer (like some people I know). I think a guys fragrance should be noticeable only when you are standing a few feet away, not before you walk into the room! This is always subtle, pleasant, and fresh. You'll never tire of this one.
