Rochas Man by Rochas
God, this is a strong one, with some intense staying powder. On initial spray, Lavender is very prominent and in your face. Dries down fairly quickly to a smoky mocha scent, with some definite hints of vanilla. Rochas Man really reminds me of Pi by Givenchy, but more "three dimensional", so to speak, in that there is more behind the scenes than just intense sweetness.
Overall, I like this a lot, though I will caution anyone using it to be extremely careful with the application. One single spray on my wrist left people asking me about what scent I was wearing for several hours (though in a positive manner). This would be great in cool weather, or used VERY LIGHTLY when going out.

Gravity by Coty
I wore this a lot during high school, and have some _really_ fond memories when I smell it. That said, I absolutely cannot wear it now.
Top notes are very intense and peppery, and it dries down to a creamy, powdery leather smell. Not bad, but not great.

Acqua di Giņ pour Homme by Giorgio Armani
It's ubiquitous for a reason - it's a nice, light scent that works pretty well on almost anyone. Fairly intense top notes, the jasmine is very noticeable, but it dries down to its very cool citrus and aromatic wood base notes. It's inoffensive, and though I can't honestly speak to the college crowd, it's not as common as I have read. Still, I would be cautious wearing it, especially on dates or something along those lines, as I have heard "Hey, you smell like my ex boyfriend" once or twice.
Sillage is mediocre, though, and it does not last an incredibly long time, one spray on my wrist will have faded nearly 100% within three to four hours.
Still, it's a good scent, it's very recognizable and like by many people, but use caution.

Pi by Givenchy
Well, it's vanilla and a little spice, and that's about it. Honestly, it's a nice winter scent, and although it's not very complex, it is nice. My wife absolutely loves this on me, and I've gotten compliments about it before, so I can't really complain about it.
Top notes are very spicy and green, but it dries down very quickly to pure vanilla with a touch of cinnamon in the background. Very sweet.
