Nina (new) by Nina Ricci

I was first attracted by the bottle, then I tried the scent. It's very fresh, very clean scent, yet sweet at the same time. It could probably because of the Toffee Apple...
I don't think it smells like Poison at all. It's definitely not as offensive as Poison. It's a good scent that I'd stongly recommend to my friends.

Aramis by Aramis

This fragrance is horrible. I hate it. It's one of the worst fragrance I've smelled in my life. I feel like throwing up each time I smell this.

Aramis Life by Aramis

The fragrance is very close to 212 Men by Carolina Herrera, but it's a lighter version. The bottle is very light, doesn't show any quality in it. It's a disappointment.

DKNY Be Delicious by Donna Karan

It smells so common. It's unoriginal... you can find a lot of similar scent on the shelves...

L'Instant de Guerlain by Guerlain

I love this. Another great classic from Guerlain. It's very feminine and sensual. Love the note of Magnolia... This is one you shouldn't missed.

Bulgari Black by Bulgari

I love this, for the uniqueness and the original of the fragrance. I've used up a few bottles of the fragrance, and still a loyal fan to this.

Noa by Cacharel

I tried it when it was launched on local market, didn't like it at all. The fragrance is much similar to Oh! de Moschino by Moschino. It's so plain, unoriginal and no identity.

Gloria by Cacharel

It reminds me of Le Feu D'Issey by Issey Miyake, but far inferior then Miyake. It's a total flop... will never think of buying it.

Ralph by Ralph Lauren

This frgrance really drive me crazy. I really hate it... it's so cheap smelling and the bottle also looks cheap. Forget about this junk...
05 January 2006

Ralph Cool by Ralph Lauren

I must say that this is a cheap smelling fragrance. I like fruity floral fragrances... but this one definitely out.
05 January 2006

Extreme Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren

It's a clone of Bvlgari Pour Homme, but can't hold a candle with Bvlgari. With this one, you smell like you've bathed yourself in pepper... Definitely one of the worst creation...
05 January 2006

Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren

It's just unoriginal. The more I smell it the more I hate it. Forget about this junk...
05 January 2006

Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren

I've never liked this one. Unoriginal... it's like a mixture of other successful fragrances in the market. You can forget about this one.

Brit for Men by Burberry

Got it as a gift. It smells wonderful and very long lasting. 1 of my favourite scent now. Well deserved a FIFI Award.

T for Him by Tommy Hilfiger

It smells so artificial. Really hate it... will never consider buying it.
11 November 2005

Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger

I've never liked this 1, smells normal and no personality. A friend uses this and it stinks after he sweats. Stay away from this.

Paul Smith London for Men by Paul Smith

I was first attracted by the bottle, tried it and fell in love with it. It's not too strong, but yet lasted quite well.
11 November 2005

Truth Calvin Klein Men by Calvin Klein

The scent is both fresh and warm. The top notes reminiscent of the rainforest, fresh and radiant. The base note is woody, spicy. Smells wonderful and last very long. It shouldn't be compared to Cartier's Declaration, since they don't share any similarities.
11 November 2005

Escape for Men by Calvin Klein

I've been using this fragrance for the past 10 years, and still 1 of my favourite scent today. Loves the fresh clean scent of birch leaves and grapefruit. It has very good staying power too.
11 November 2005

Eternity Rose Blush by Calvin Klein

The classic Eternity bottle is dressed in red now. Great scent. It's rather different from the original Eternity. I think the younger generation will love this, for it's slight fruity, floral scent.

cK one Summer by Calvin Klein

I was first attracted by the bottle, then the scent. It's very fresh and very easy to use. It last quite well on my skin also. I think it's the best summer fragrance for 2004.
11 October 2005

DK Men by Donna Karan

A friend gave it to me and I really can't stand the fragrance. It stinks. Glad it's being discontinued.
10 October 2005

LouLou by Cacharel

It stinks. It's one of the worst fragrance I've ever tried. It gives me headache each time I smell it, makes me feel like throwing up. The bottle looks cheap also. Don't ever think of buying this one.
10 October 2005

Anaïs Anaïs by Cacharel

I like L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci and First by Van Cleef & Arpels, but I just hate this one. The bottle looks cheap and The scent is way too powdery. Luckily, none of my friends like this one.
10 October 2005

Eau d'Eden by Cacharel

I'll never consider buying this fragrance. It's the cheaper version of Estee Lauder's Pleasures. This one has no personality and no staying power. It doesn't leave an impression.
10 October 2005

Dolly Girl by Anna Sui

I really hate this, especially the bottle. It's really awful and bad taste. The scent makes me want to throw up. Smells cheap and no personality.
10 October 2005

Secret Wish by Anna Sui

I hate this even though I must admit that the bottle is rather nice. It's just so common and no personality. It's Anna's version of D&G Light Blue, but I think Light Blue is far more superior than this. Forget about buying this except for the bottle.

Fragile Eau de Toilette by Jean Paul Gaultier

I bought it for my girlfriend and she really loves the scent. It's a lighter interpretation of the Fragile EDP. It's still made up of Tuberose, but a lighter 1. This is a good scent for the modern woman who is elegant and confident. I realised that Ralph Lauren tried to imitate this fragrance with his version of Glamorous, but Fragile EDT is far superior than that.
10 October 2005

Fragile by Jean Paul Gaultier

It's definitely 1 of the best packaging in the industry. The scent is very feminine and elegant. It's the scent for the self assured woman. A fragrance as prestigeous as Gaultier's Haute Couture.
10 October 2005

Le Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier

I've always been a big fan of Le Male since it was release in 1996 on local market and still using it today. It really last a whole day with only a few spritz. I'm gonna stay loyal to this fragrance. Mr. Armani pls stop trying to imitate this fragrance.
10 October 2005

Gaultier² by Jean Paul Gaultier

It's a great scent. I love it as much as Le Male. Vanilla makes the fragrance very sensual. Bought the 2x40ml bottle, think the bottle is simple and nice. It's definitely 1 of the best release this year.
10 October 2005

Eternity for Men by Calvin Klein

I've been using this fragrance since 1990 and still love it today. It's a timeless fragrance that's both classic and contemporary. It's refined yet strong. The scent is very distinctive. In fact, I notice that alot of brands are trying to imitate this scent, but it just stand out from the others. I'll always have a bottle of it in my wardrobe.
10 October 2005

Romance by Ralph Lauren

The bottle is a shorter, fatter version of Eternity by Calvin Klein. The scent is very common and definitely not to my likings.
09 October 2005

Lauren Style by Ralph Lauren

Another junk from Ralph Lauren... This smells like a lighter version of Eternity Moment by Calvin Klein. This will be the last fragrance I'll choose to buy this year.
09 October 2005

Polo Sport Woman by Ralph Lauren

This fragrance reminds me of L'eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake, but a lousier version. Will never consider buying this fragrance. It's just so... sorry

Mania (original) by Giorgio Armani

I was shocked when I tried this fragrance. It reminds me of By Dolce & Gabbana Man, but of course By smells much nicer. Is this a woman's fragrance??
09 October 2005

Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani

It's so plain and so normal to me. I've never liked armani fragrances. This 1, uummm...
09 October 2005

Eternity Love by Calvin Klein

Bought it as a valentine's gift. Smells heavenly. My girlfriend loves it and wish to bathe with it.
09 October 2005

cK one Summer 2005 by Calvin Klein

The bottle is very eye-catching. The scent is very fresh and sunny. Definitely 1 not to be missed this summer.
09 October 2005

Eternity Moment by Calvin Klein

What can I say? This is definitely 1 of the best scent in recent years. The slight fruity top notes is very appealing and the dry down is very feminine and sensual.
