Chanel Pour Monsieur by Chanel

There must be something wrong with my bottle because after a pleasant citrus opening PM literally disappear, even with ten sprays on my wrist and only one spray of blenheim bouquet on the other wrist (to be sure my nose is working properly) , i can't smell anything where PM is supposed to be, maybe new reformulations have spoilt such a classic scent !! So don't buy it blind like me but try before. I followed Luca Turin book but I have been disappointed buy his choices so many times that this is the last time.

Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi by Acqua di Parma

I love citrus and fig scents so I keep smelling this stuff until it fades away, shortlived but great and uplifting for me, like all cologne smells great and fresh for a few time and reapply is the way to go. I love most of the blu mediterraneo line, except the almond one, they are sunny and natural no chemical or artificial to my nose , they reminds me of holydays in southern italy country.

Kölnisch Wasser by Farina Gegenüber

this is the reference for old style cologne,pre chemical era, pre designer, pre niche, I wash my hands and my face with it, it's a refreshing bath and smells very good ,even if for half an hour. After that you can apply a real scent, i bought 8 bottles for 2 euros each before a marketing genius rises the price to 150 euros boasting famous customers like Napoleon or Luis XIV. After all how many citrus last longer ? REAPPLY is the way to go.

Chêne by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido

This is one of the best lutens fragrance for me and your previous positive reviews are really explicative:dry wood, oak,smoke. And smells great from the beginning to the endless drydown, more than 12 hours on my skin !!!

Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

One of the best among the last designer scents, sweet and warm, no sharp notes and a wonderful square bottle, a long lasting five stars fragrance of smocky incense, wood and spice, linear with not much developing but always beautiful and long lasting on y skin.

Eau de Campagne by Sisley

This is a 5 stars fragrance, if you like green you must try EdC, your nose will be full of fresh grass juice and tomato leaves, a refreshing scent from a company with a philosophical view: "fragrantia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem". EdC is already 38 years old and it's here to stay, a classic unisex .

Mitsouko by Guerlain

I blindly bought a bottle of edt , but i really don't like it, i tried several times without success, it smells chemical and artificial, maybe my nose is not good for aldehydes, the bottle is full i'll try again.

Irisia by Creed

This is an absolute beginner review !!
Very strong at the beginning then becames more pleasant. The drydown is what I like most, dusty and dry. Better on my wife than on me. A *** stars for me.
