    Black by Pierre Cardin

    Pretty darn good. Very very similar to Black Jeans by Versace. Lasting power is excellent for an edc. It is somewhat hard to find, I found mine in Guadalajara, Mexico for cheap. Not the best black out there - for that see Cavalli - but this stuff is much better than some of the more expensive overused garbage - for that see Polo. Overall, a solid thumbs up for this sexy juice, a cross between Black Jeans and Sean John, which are both awesome.

    Touch for Men by Fred Hayman

    This stuff is somewhat similar to brute. However, to me, without question, the dry down is identical to Helmut Lang. These two scents are very very similar. It is almost hard to believe how close. Both good, not great. Overall, buy if u can find cheap, bottle nice, but it is the juice that matters. Right?

    Guess Suede by Guess

    Hard to describe this one. The top notes are much better than the dry down. Kinda dark scent at first smells very sexy, but dries down to a synthetic one that actually does have a resemblance to mildew. Stay away.

    Tom Ford for Men by Tom Ford

    Too fruity and overpriced. I think this guy is so overrated. His scents fall in the dreaded unisex category. I still think Sean John is the best American scent. Unforgivable rocks. Tom Ford is an overrated designer in my opinion and this scent and Black Orchid are perfect examples of that. Way overpriced.

    Bogart pour Homme by Jacques Bogart

    Big time scent here. Smells like pipe tobacco no question, very sexy and manly. Lasts forever and a day and is very cheap. Best offering from Jacques by far.

    Bulgari pour Homme Soir by Bulgari

    Just too subtle. It is not overpowering at all and very similar to Mania. High quality juice that is very sexy, but not a high-powered scent at all.

    Terre d'Hermès by Hermès

    I agree, a masterpiece. Very earthy and very orange smelling. However, so strong, so lasting, so unique, so interesting. A must have for those cologne lovers - but then again so are all Hermes and all Carons, and all Guerlains. The three best design houses in the history of the world.

    Number 3 / Le 3me Homme / The Third Man by Caron

    This is not the bottle, the new one is better. This is quite simply the finest scent that I have ever come across. It is so deep and interesting it is almost funny. Very smokey and intense scent that lasts forever. It is a "light" scent, but not fresh, and so so sexy. It is my favorite all-time, L'anarchiste is number two and Antaeus is number 3. The third man is a mysterious masterpiece that is the favorite of this this cologne lover and I have had well over 100. Caron makes the most mysterious scents and this is the best. Buy now and test it yourself. Not for Tommy or Calvin fans - this stuff downright fascinating.

    Bandit Light pour Homme by Robert Piguet

    So unique. I do not really see the difference between this and edt bandit. Both are so potent and remind me of a cross between antaeus and monsigner musk, by Houbigant. This stuff sprays so wonderfully out of such a cool and modern bottle. I had huge huge hopes for this stuff as I bought blind. Overall, very very solid, but not quite as good as I dreamed. It does smell a little like car tires. I can see why this stuff is legendary, but to be honest - a little let down, Antaeus is better. I have the edt for bandit - and trust me - it is for men, not women. Very masculine, dark,powerful, sexy - a little weird.

    Fracas for Men by Robert Piguet

    So many people here simply have no clue - stick with Tommy and Calvin please. This stuff is from Heaven. It may be an edc, but it is extremely potent and smells very similar to VO by Jean Marc Sinan. This is a blast from the past - smells like an 80's powerhouse. I am in complete shock at how amazing this stuff is, I think Third Man by Caron is the best scent ever, and I compare anything to it. But this juice just might be as good. The bottle is cheap, and, as mentioned, it is an edc, however do yourself a favor and buy this stuff now. It is so manly and sexy - VO is almost impossible to find, but this stuff is absolutely amazing. If you hate Tommy and Calvin and all the other over exposed garbage pumped down out throat - go with this stuff. It is simply incredible.

    Caron Pour Un Homme by Caron

    This is a classic legendary scent, but a little dated. Go with Third Man or Lanarchiste, for newer stuff. This stuff lasts forever but is without doubt for men over the age of 40, but so is Gentlemen by Givenchy. Both amazing but for older folks no doubt. Got to respect both, no matter who you think you are.

    Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

    Not bad. A little boring and brown smelling - similar to Lui by Rochas. I mean good enough, but not worth the money - it that simple. Get Third Man, Santos, Antateus - even Jacomo, those are way better. I would not buy this stuff again, too simple and boring, but not a waste - it is classy, just not a powerhouse.

    Santos Concentrée by Cartier

    Downright legendary scent. In my top five of all time, 80's classic scent here, that lasts all day and smells like a real man. John Wayne style here fellas. A spicy treat.

    Antaeus by Chanel

    This stuff is unreal. Flowery masculine scent that is so deep and mysterious. I find it impossible to believe that some do not like this. I mean, this stuff is so high-powered and long-lasting - tops from Chanel. To those that do not like it: stick with Tommy and Calvin Klein and the garbage they put out. Antaeus, Third Man, Joop, Santos, Jacomo, 80's power scents that always always bring a smile to my face.

    Jacomo for Men by Jacomo

    I like this stuff. It is good. Not great, but good. Jacomo de Jacomo, is better and more manly, but this stuff is not bad. It smells like a light Joop. It is pretty long lasting, cool bottle, and not too hard to find. Good.

    Rodier pour Homme by Rodier

    This stuff just does not do it. I mean there is no, no power behind this average scent. This stuff is simply garbage - nothing to it.

    Trussardi Uomo by Trussardi

    Tall dark and handsome is right. This dark giant is so powerful, it lasts forever. It is perhaps the long-lasting cologne I have ever experienced, it jumps out of the bottle. It smells sexy and dark. The only downfall could be it may be a little boring - but overall - worth it, you can find it cheap. In my top 15 of all time. Very good, but not legendary, like Antaeus, Third Man, Ungaro III, Kouros, Santos, and others.

    Fleur du Male by Jean Paul Gaultier

    This stuff is just too feminine for me. I actually like the edp gaultier number 2 better - and that is technically for women, but is less feminine. Fleur is just downright for ladies. It does have an orange twist to it, but sorry it is not for you - it is for your girlfriend. However, it does smell good if, but so does Chanel number 5.

    Séxual pour Homme by Michel Germain

    This stuff is seductive. No question. It is very long lasting. I think there are better, sexier scents - third man, antaeus, santos, joop, ungaro III, are just a few - but this stuff is big time scent. This stuff really surprised me, it is powerful juice that is better than Pi by givenchy, similar scents somewhat.

    Le Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier

    A great sexy cologne, but way and i mean way too over used. Not unique. Go with body kouros which smells similar, but better, and you will be the only one wearing it.

    Ungaro II by Ungaro

    I actually really like this stuff. The only problem I have with it, is that it smells exactly, i mean exactly, like Caron Pour Homme, which is much cheaper and easier to find.

    Roberto Cavalli Black by Roberto Cavalli

    This is a lot better than nice. It is amazing. So sexy and dark and mysterious. This stuff is awesome. It is what Dali is trying to be. Black is sexy and perfect for those men who have an edge to them - this stuff is for men. The exact opposite of the garbage Calvin Klein and Tommy put out. The only American fragrance worth a dime is Sean John.

    Vetiver by Guerlain

    Big time scent here by this legendary design house. I love this stuff, the best guerlain out there. The best vetiver out there. Complex, sophisticated, classic, perfect. In my top 7 of all time.

    Boss Number One by Hugo Boss

    This is your typical 80's powerhouse scent. It is so so potent, so be careful there. It has a sexy yellow smell to it, similar to Caron Third man. These two are not dark, but they are sexy. Easily the best boss scent. High quality, but watch it - easy to overapply.

    Carlo Corinto Rouge by Carlo Corinto

    This is perhaps the most shocking blind purchase I have ever had. This juice is amazing, absolutely unreal. It is so powerful and sexy. I am in shock, because it is easy the best Rouge out there. Givenchy is good, but this rouge is just amazing. It smells like the powerful 80's scent, but with a twist of the 90's. Sexy, powerful, this is so much better than people think. I hate those new light fresh scents - and trust me - this stuff is not one of them. Power scent here guys.

    Lomani by Lomani

    Not a bad one. Very cheap, but smells very similar to Drakkar. However, this stuff is much cheaper. Probably worth it, but nothing special here guys.

    Laguna Homme by Salvador Dali

    Good stuff no doubt. Really nothing not to like. Unique and very strong lasts forever and a day. Not that interesting of a smell though, but no one would regret buying it. Smells very very good, but not all that interesting - like ungaro III, Yatagan, Antaeus, etc. Laguna is a very solid cologne. But not groundbreaking. But how many really are?

    L'Anarchiste by Caron

    Well it is now official for me, Caron comes up with the most unique scents ever! This is my second along with the timeless, classic yatagan. Lanarchiste is not just unique it is bizare! Nothing that I have ever comes across in this life is even close to it. Yatagan is probably the closest. We have a great scent here, I agree organges come out and gasoline. It is a very mysterious scent, and no doubt one that Dracula would wear. It has a copper bottle and a little bit of a copper scent to it. The drydown is the best part and the top notes do have a small hint of a pool of blood. Overall, I am glad I bought it, but there are better scents out there and surely less to offen, santos de cartier, ungaro III, grigio perla etc - go with these if you are not the risky type. If you are the risky type go with Lanarchiste - it is a beautiful scent, so different and bizare it is worth it!!! Take a chance!!!!!!!

    GrigioPerla by La Perla

    Buy this now!! This stuff is so sexy, somewhat similar to Drakkar, but darker and sexier. I bought blind due to reviews and love it so much, it is such a deep and lasting sexy scent, you will love it!!
