 | Égoïste / L'Égoïste by ChanelThis is such a great scent for me, after all these years. Now that I'm older it seems to last much longer than when I was younger. Love it! 24th January, 2012. |
 | Baldessarini Del Mar by BaldessariniExtremely run of the mill here, a major letdown considering how much I love Ambre. it smells like a few dozen other colognes out there, including drugstore varieties. I gave this to my Brother... 13rd July, 2009. |
 | Unforgivable by Sean JohnThis really does smell good. Nicely balanced with a wonderful drydown. HOWEVER, the similarities to this and Creed Millesime Imperial are too strong to ignore. A blatant ripoff in my opinion. Therefore, I give it a neutral rating.. 13rd July, 2009. |
| | Eternity Summer for Men 2009 by Calvin KleinProbably the best 'Summer' edition of Mens' Eternity yet. Very citrus smelling when first sprayed, and after a bit it smells a little peppery and woodsy. Very nice. I love it. 29th June, 2009. |
| | Beckham Signature for Him by BeckhamNothing really stands out with the scent. Nice but very run of the mill. 21st June, 2009. (Last Edited: 29th June, 2009.) |
| | Séxual Fresh for Men by Michel GermainThis is VERY STRONG. I was hoping the drydown would change my mind about this one but alas, it didn't. It has sat on my countertop for months now, I might give it to my little brother. Hey, at least the bottle is sexy... 10th June, 2009. |
| | Essential by LacosteI really love this. It is perfect for the summertime, it makes me want to go out and enjoy the day. I think this is very woodsy and crisp on me. It lasts quite awhile on me and I enjoy it immensely. 10th June, 2009. |
| | John Varvatos by John VarvatosAmazing stuff here.. So complex and captivating it stays intriguing from the first spritz until you go to bed. I have actually gone through 2 bottles of this in the past year. 10th June, 2009. |
| | L'Homme by Yves Saint LaurentWow! This stuff starts off VERY strong and somewhat overpowering. After it mellows a bit it is extremely nice. The perfect companion for a night on the town. After an hour or so it smells very sweet and you will get compliments. I wouldn't recommend this on a humid day though, as it evaporates quickly. It does smell kind of synthetic to me as well so, I don't wear it as often as I would like. 9th June, 2009. |
| | Samba for Men by Perfumer's WorkshopI remember when this first came out. It was very popular and then kind of fell off the radar. It was expensive then, not so much now. It still smells amazing and still has a great place in my wardrobe. It used to remind me of Liz Claiborne and still does somewhat. Go figure. 9th June, 2009. |
| | Kapsule Light by LagerfeldI like this but, not as much as the other two. It does seem like something akin to a fresh shower gel. But lets remember that this series is meant to be layered. Therefore don't be to critical of each scent. Each one plays upon the other. This is a fun and different alternative to the usual scents out there. Give it a try. 3rd June, 2009. |
| | Kapsule Floriental by LagerfeldOut of the three Kapsule scents this is by far my favorite. The idea behind these is that you layer them and mix and match. It makes a difference as to how you layer them too, as it does smell different when you switch them around. I give this scent in particular a thumbs up as it is very basic but can stand on its own. HOWEVER, as a man you need to be comfortable wearing this solo, as the drydown it tends to smell extremely feminine. Layer it with Woody say and, now you are talking. Marvelous. 3rd June, 2009. |
| | Kapsule Woody by LagerfeldThis is the more masculine of the three, crisp and refreshing and, I really like this one alone too. Try this combo: Floriental as a start and then Woody following. After 3-4 minutes I spritz just a TOUCH of Light and then a touch of Floriental again. Something about that combo really works for me, and I have gotten wonderful comments about it. Besides, this is such a fun way to play with your fragrances. I mean, who hasn't layered some of their favorites in the past? Very cool and I recommend this set highly. 3rd June, 2009. |
| | Narciso Rodriguez for Him by Narciso RodriguezLove it love it love it! I tried this out as a recommendation from the sales lady and I must say I was impressed. I love it when I wear this, it is so perfect for a night out dining and dancing. It has amazing staying power on me. Of course this is one of my personal favorites. 3rd June, 2009. |
| | Background by Jil SanderI remember this when it came out. I loved it then and I love it now. Why do all the good scents get cancelled? This is really amazing all over again for me. It must be the years in between. Crisp and yet musky, its very complex and intriguing. I was lucky enough to score 3 large tester bottles of this from a friend. Bad for him, good for me! 3rd June, 2009. |
| | Burberry the Beat for Men by BurberryWow! Smells great! When you first spritz it on that is. It then turns into an extremely peppery and synthetic mess and has absolutey no staying power AT ALL. Weak weak weak! I had to spray numerous times throughout the day just to maintain. I gave this to my little brother.. 27th May, 2009. |
| | Pi Neo by GivenchyI pair this with Sean Jean's I Am King and the resulting scent is incredible! In just one week of doing this I have had 6-7 people asking me about the cologne I was wearing. As far as wearing it by itself, it is very middle of the pack. Not bad by any means but, just nothing special that makes you recognize it. A nice drydown though. I tend to think this is more of a summer scent 27th May, 2009. |
| | Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio ArmaniNothing special here. With so many colognes out there today (and more every year) is it getting harder for some houses to deliver a special scent? I was hoping for something to grab me with this scent but alas, this is not the case. Most like it, as do I. But, I tend to pass this over when I go for my daily spritz. Will you? 27th May, 2009. |
| | Porsche Design Essence by PorscheI like this scent. I have a very finicky and sensitive nose and tend to be very discriminate. I see alot of negative reviews for this scent. I disagree. This is a very sophisticated cologne. It DOES smell like many other forgettable ones out there lately. 25th May, 2009. |
| | Gucci Pour Homme II by GucciProbably one of the most unique and interesting colognes to come out in a few years. I spray it on and it immediately makes ME WANT to keep smelling it. Very sweet at first, and then a little peppery thereafter. Later on the drydown is very leathery and masculine. I LOVE IT. One thing though, if you are in a humid climate as I am, you need to layer and moisturize before you wear this. Otherwise it just breaks down and loses its character very fast. I like this immensely. 25th May, 2009. |
| | Eternity for Men by Calvin KleinA classic. I remember when this first came out and you could not find it anywhere for months. My rommie at the time worked in retail and was able to get a few bottles. One night I had a little too much to drink and decided I wanted to spray the ENTIRE bottle on me! Needless to say it took over a week to finally scrub the last of that bottle off! The moral here? I will always love this cologne, it has a smell that can never be replicated. Intense and subdued, laid back but ready.. Love that! 25th May, 2009. |
| | I am King by Sean JohnI must say that when I tried this out I couldn't stand it on me AT ALL. And then it changed dramatically on me. It has me flummoxed. It sort of smells like Gucci Homme II and Gaultier Le Male. Somewhere between the two. I got several compliments on it as well so I did buy it. After an hour or so it smells even better on me so I am hooked now. 24th May, 2009. |
| | Fleur du Male by Jean Paul GaultierVery strong opening, and the drydown is just okay. A big yawnfest from all my friends so I pass on this. 24th May, 2009. |
| | Baldessarini Ambré by BaldessariniThis smells VERY good on me, it is the perfect for a night of dinner and socializing. Not so good on a hot humid day though, it does not last when you sweat a bit. A must for any guy. 24th May, 2009. |
| | Millésime Impérial by CreedThis cologne sets a standard. Sean Jean's Unforgivable is a direct ripoff of this scent. So are a few others that fail to come to mind at the moment. It wears wonderfully on me, and whenever I wear it people who know Creed compliment on it. Very pricey but you get what you pay for, believe me! 24th May, 2009. |
| | Versace pour Homme by VersaceThis is by far my favorite Versace mens' scent. I love the citrus fragrances, and this does not disappoint. Clean and crisp, I must agree with a previous review and say that this is best right after a shower. It has a nice dry down, and I've had questions about what scent I was wearing. After an hour or so it has a nice mellow effect and, seems to soothe me. Very nice. My only gripe is that like most citrus scents, it just doesn't last. I take a little vial with me for out and about days. 25th March, 2009. |
| | Brooklyn by Bond No. 9Yum yum yum! This smells really great on me, and I got compliments in the elevator leaving the mall. Next I walk into a local fav eatery of mine and get a few more compliments. Nice! In fact, I had to hide this one from a friend of mine, I let him test it and the next thing I know he is bathing in it. Really glad I took the time for this one, it will be a staple for sure. 19th March, 2009. |
| | Love and Luck for Men by Ed Hardy [Christian Audigier]BORING... This is like some cheap drugstore knock off. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad scent. But let's just say you'd be better off getting a drugstore knock off and saving some $$ for a better scent. 19th March, 2009. (Last Edited: 24th May, 2009.) |
| | Hamptons by Bond No. 9Wow! This smells so good on me! It smells EVEN BETTER after about 30-40 minutes. Very crisp at first and then mellows wonderfully. I am really falling in love with more and more Bond no. 9 scents, this could be terrible for my bank account... 19th March, 2009. (Last Edited: 24th May, 2009.) |
| | Black Orchid by Tom FordWithout a doubt one of the most unforgettable scents I've smelled. Very complex and intoxicating. I gave this to my Boss as a gift, and he tells me how much he loves it and the compliments he receives whenever he wears it. Not a fragrance for me but, I highly recommended you try this for yourself, it is extremely different and unique. 9th September, 2008. |
