Beach Smells by Smell THIS

I bought this scent-unseen based on calchic's review, and was really hoping to get a clean, saltwater + cocoa butter fragrance. On me, however, it smells artificial and floral, almost soapy. This is especially unfortunate as I'm a guy and could perhaps pull off a clean cocoa-buttery scent, but not so much this fake-floral thing. Too bad, because it sounded great.

Odeur 53 by Comme des Garçons

Yum- I love the crisp, futuristic, thunderstorm aspects of this scent. There's a good clean sort of metallic facet to it, so its "freshness" is more, well, refreshing than the term might suggest. On my skin it develops a somewhat sweet cast to it once it's worn in a little.

Javari by Body Shop

This was my first cologne, and I still wear it on occasion. It's got a nice peppery warmth to it-- spicy and dry. On my skin the drydown comes on with something somewhat akin to pencil shavings, which isn't unpleasant exactly, just a little strange.
