Joop! Go by Joop!

no thanks, if i wanna smell like a candy shop i go to the carneval and have a bath in candy floos but, well, i dont and therefore this is nothing for me.
doesnt make me gag to, so 2/5, not the maximum penalty.

Joop! Jump by Joop!

good, very,very good stuff.
an awesome mixture of sweet and creamy (vanilla, coffee?) yet fresh and light.
i love how it lingers around me and turns heads.
been meaning to get a bottle for ages and i will soon.
9/10

Dior Homme Sport by Christian Dior

haha, i only got one thing to add to the prvious posters review
be careful with the amount u apply.

while trying this on i was literally bein chased by 5-6 bees for over 1 hour.

good, fresh summer scent but not worth getting it IMO.

if u want freshness, go for coolwater happy summer or CL freeze me and if u want citrus with a lil warmness go for allure blanche

however still a thumbs up

212 Men by Carolina Herrera

this stuff atually makes me gag. i cant even figure out what the worst note is but fact is i had to wash it off after a few min.
go away!!!

Davidoff Adventure by Davidoff

weak?i cant really figure why everyone seems to find it weak?last quite a while on me and i am actually suprised by the complexity. i always have the feeling i smell different every 5 min or so.
good stuff!
reminds me a bit of 'good life' but more interesting.
only criticism is that somehow it gives me a headache sometimes (?).
not enough for a thumbs up anyway.

Cool Water by Davidoff

this stuff is one of the very few frags i willl never ran out of as im always keeping a bottle in stock.
yes, it does smell a bit chemical (but only if overapllied IMO) and yes, its not the deepest daring frag but it makes me feel good, comfy and fresh.
will always come back to it.
thumbs up

Cool Water Happy Summer by Davidoff

fresh, fruity and a well mixed combination of grapefruit and lemon.
thumbs up

Allure Homme Edition Blanche by Chanel

LOOOOVE this frag!!!most definetely one of the best summer or good weather scents ever.
as others have statet starts of very lemony, almost like frsh grinded lemon skin (which is a good thing as i love lemon), and cools down to a lovely fruity-fresh combination of lemon and vanilla.
i cant really detect some of the notes but sandalwood, bergamot and tonka i do smell and they round this scent of amzingly.
even sillage and longevity suprised me, while trying a single shot on one wrist i could smell it distintively for hours and hours.even got a whiff of it after a night.
defineetely a thumbs up, gets a 10/10 from me.

The One for Men by Dolce & Gabbana

wow, first impression is a big hit of coconut (?), i loooove coconut.
after a few minutes however it calms down to some sweet ambery mainstream stuff.
i smell herbs, too but cant smell the tobacco at all.
unfortunately nothing special and definetely not worthy to be named THE ONE.
i would have expected some extraordinary, something daring after the let down with LBPH but looks like they stay on the cant fail to badly side.
not too bad but thats it

Sun Men by Jil Sander

as the other posters have stated unfortunately nothing extraordinary however nice and inoffensive.
good frag, good for the wallet too :)
got this one during summer sale and like it, suits almost any occasion althoguh i find it a little to 'warm' for a pure summer scent.
a thumbs up anyway

Rochas Man by Rochas

wow, tried it today on my wrist and blew me away at first.
VERY potent stuff and for the first couple of minutes i had the unpleasent feeling of standin in one of those carneval shop with all the candy floss, caramelised almond and apples etc but suprisingly quickly it settled down to a delicious comforting smell, i think that describes it best, delicious. il have to spend more time with it but that is definitely going to go into my collection as one the the VERY few gourmands i actually really like!
i would recommend it for winter use though, too heavy and "creamy" for summer IMO
Thumbs Up anyway

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana

VERY disappointed by this creation from D&G.
not only is sillage and longevity basically totally absent which i could maybe justify with my chemistry but the scent itself is watery and not extraordinary in any way.
I do agree with one of the previous posters that the female version is definitely unisex so give that one a sniff next time you pass it.
