Cool Water by Davidoff

I've been wearing good colognes since I was 13. Now that I'm 43 all I can say is: IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING, THEN WEAR IT. NEVER MIND WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS. If you are the type of man that is influenced by somebody else opinion, then you haven't found yourself. Cool Water is nice. I like it a lot. I apply it a lot and I enjoy it a lot. Quite similar to Green Irish Tweed but CHEAAAAAAPER. Fresh, friendly, sweet, sexy, masculine and versatile.That's my opinion and I apreciate my opinions a lot. If you don't like CW don't wear it but don't f***ing tell us that this is a bad fragrance. GROW UP!!!

Caron Pour Un Homme by Caron

A really classic scent. The smell of a serious and interesting man. Very well crafed. A explosion of lavender in the beginning and then vanilla and herbs. Maybe you need to have a certain age and perfume experience to apreciate this cologne. Very long lasting scent.

Vetyver by L'Occitane

To me Vetyver L'Occitane is a fragrance that smells like earth. Its vetyver smells like real vetyver roots at its right point and you can smell it all along even though this fragrance is not linear. It's soft and warm. Stays with you the whole day. I have Vetyver Guerlain, Adolfo Dominguez Vetyver Hombre (which is my second favorite vetyver) and Carolina Herrera Sensual Vetyver but Vetyver L'Occitane is better constructed and develops better. I think that this fragrance is for men over 30. Wonderful fragrance.

Tabac Original by Mäurer & Wirtz

Wonderful. Just wonderful. I associate this cologne with the image projected by Liam Neeson in the Schindler´s list. Subtle and classic. Smells like a refined barber shop.

Millésime Impérial by Creed

This is my third Creed so far. Waiting for Royal Water and Erolfa. I must say that this is THE BEST FRAGRANCE I'VE EVER SMELLED. It's pretty similar to SMW but it's softer. I perceive two things in this fragrance that makes me love it so much: first, it projects a smell like earth when being water by a very soft rain. Second, the balance of this cologne is so perfect that it projects the image of a mature, reasonable, confident, patient, calm, tolerant and secure man. There are fragrances which are similar but they happen to have something that projects the caracter of a high schoo boy. Unforgivable is similar just in the opening but MI smells really natural and Unforgivable is very linear while MI develops into diferent stages that makes you want to apply more. In my skin it last longer that SMW and GIT. But when I don't feel it as I want to, I just reapply and enjoy the pleasure journey again. The best Creed so far. Nice, warm, elegant and sophisticated. Really imperial.

Green Tea by L'Occitane

This is truly a beautiful fragrance. Very, very romantic. You can smell the green tea from the beginning to the end. Last long and it's remarkably beautiful. Perfect for the man who wants to show his romantic and poetic side.

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

This fragrance is pure vanilla and lavender perfectly balanced. It projects something that doesen't fit everyman but old men, in my opinion. Nevertheless, it's a masterpiece. Sweet, warm, persistent.

Yatagan by Caron

Yatagan is a very outstanding and classy fragrance. It's sweet but pefectly balanced. I find it similar to Christian Dior's Jules but more persistent. Yatagan transmits the aura of powerful man, a man in charge and confident. I think this is the type of smell that a woman wants to find in a man when she's looking for security and stability.

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

This is my second Creed so far. I have to say that it is a very pleasing and well constructed fragrance but not outstanding. It's fresh and subtle but as I said not outstanding. I expected more. It's very similar to Cool Water but only the first hour, then it changes into something entirely diferent. It's true that this fragrance smells more natural than CW and it's not linear. Last longer than Silver Mountain Water in my skin but SMW seems to me a really excellent and different smell.

Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent

This is the cologne that best work with my skin. Two spritz and it stays with me the whole day. I've received a lot of compliments wearing this stuff. A lot of people in basenotes doesn't seem like it but don't let that get in the way if you like it. Kouros transmits power, virility and sensuality. Never have smelled something more sensual than this cologne.

Antaeus by Chanel

I've been wearing this cologne since 1999 and I still like it a lot. It's the best woody fragrance for men. It's a true round frangrance with real development. It's sweet but well balanced, not strident. This is a sensual frangrance not suited for boys without personality.

Allure Homme Edition Blanche by Chanel

I bought this fragrance 3 days ago and have been wearing it every day. I like the real lemon note. It remains until the end. It's a nice scent to wear at the office or at night. Be careful not to overapply since it's got good longevity. I prefer this one than the previous Allures.

Acqua di Parma Colonia by Acqua di Parma

I like the flowery base in my skin after 15 minutes of aplication. very similar to extra vielle but more refined. not for young people.
