Fragrance Reviews by JParker

Definitely unremarkable. And yes, it does smell like hotel soap. In fact, I've related it to some Star Wars bar soap I had as a kid. Is it a bad fragrance? Hardly. It's just basic, good. Not a big "statement," but it does smell nice. Wear it when you can't decide on anyting else to wear for the day.

Boss Bland? Weak Soul? Yes. It is pleasant enough and wears fairly well but, as my sister said, "It smells like my second grade classroom." Wear this cologne when you want to feel like you're not wearing cologne. If anything, it mayleave a clean and soapy impression--a plus?

In a world where most men's fragrances seem to be better suited behind the women's counter, there are lots of choices for light, bright scents. PS has a bright spiciness which steers clear of the overly floral or citrusy. While I usually prefer leather, moss, and spice, if something a little less romantic is called for, PS is my choice.

I'm 26 and Aramis quickly became my one faithful standby. Masculine and sophisticated, it stands out among other, more popular men's scents which I strongly feel belong behind the women's counter. Yes, when wearing it, I do run the risk of being mistaken for a man more than twice my age. I say that's part of the appeal!

I could understand why this one might not be a popular favorite. All I know is that every 2 out of 3 compliments I get, I'm wearing this scent. I'm always sure to wear it on the first few dates with a woman. They can't seem to help but bury their face into me and breathe deep. Save it for autumn evenings--not for use on a July afternoon (to avoid the aforementioned "urine" quality).

Undoubtedly a scent of the drugstore variety. However, I consider it one of the better of this group and suitable for everyday use: a fine alternative to Skin Bracer, Old Spice, and the like. Unimpressive, it will never be my choice to wear on a first date.
