The One for Men by Dolce & Gabbana

My co-worker practically bathes in this stuff. I had to tell him the truth: it reminds me of a brew of Captain Morgan's spiced rum and toilet bowl cleaner. My entire workplace had an intervention and told him that the scent is incredibly offensive/ terrible.

Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta by Acqua di Parma

This had the most drastic change in dry down I have ever witnessed. On my skin I got a cedary EdC that transformed into something that smelled like a block of incense, tar, charcoal, and lavender (the kind in Lavanda Tonica, which smells like a rotten, crushed bouquet IMO) I scrubbed multiple times when I got to this phase.

Bois d'Argent Cologne by Christian Dior

Do you like root beer? If so, you should try this.

Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy

Smells like Old Spice Pure Sport deodorant.

Black Orchid by Tom Ford

Smells like a bucket of dried cherries rotting. This is dense and heavy, headache inducing. Lots of sillage and lasting power. Definitely not warm weather wear. YSL Nu shares similarities, and that is also somewhat nauseating (to me) [=

Lalique pour Homme by Lalique

Smells great on paper! On my skin, it dried down to the "vanilla/sandalwood tart" mentioned by mrclmind. I'll pass, but still give it thumbs up for the test strip.

Sycomore (new) by Chanel

Delicious vetiver which is somewhat feminized (when compared side-by-side to Lalique Encre Noire) but perfectly unisex.

Les Nuits d'Hadrien by Annick Goutal

Picture a lemon creamsicle dipped in gold and which came in an opulent sandalwood box. The only problem is longevity, which seems to be only a couple of hours. This is based on the EDT in the women's bottle.
