    Emporio Armani He by Giorgio Armani

    I wore this back in high school. I got A LOT of female attention because I wore this. At the time, the only other popular frags were Curve, Polo Sport, and Tommy. Just the name, Armani, got me play I didn't believe. The frag has staying power, which is a plus for my skin type. I also like it's versatility. It can be worn for work or play. Overall, a good score for Armani here!

    Gaultier² by Jean Paul Gaultier

    I gave this a shot, and I while I liked it enough to buy it, I wound up giving it to my brother who does it more justice. This frag is the reason I no longer buy blind. Could not get a compliment from the ladies but the fellas wanted to know what it was every time I wore it. I used 1/4 of the bottle before I handed it off. On everyone but the user, it smells great. BTW, the lady at the counter NEVER mentioned that it was a unisex gourmand.

    Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

    This was the very first cologne I ever owned. My freshman year in high school was when I first tried it on and I loved every moment of it! All the females in class were blown away by this scent. The fellas on the other hand despised it, but had to concede that I stepped my game up excellently! A great all-around fragrance for home, office, school, and even the lounge. The key: wear it in small amounts on your pressure points(neck, wrists, etc.) and allow it to dry before you dress. You will get double-takes all day.

    Joop! Homme by Joop!

    I tried this frag once, and let me tell you, I got constant compliments from the female persuasion! at first, it starts out like candy, then it mellowed out on my skin and I was sold on it! A prego woman craving sweets had her nose on my neck begging me to tell her what was I wearing. This is an instant "panty-dropper" when out clubbing. However, a classmate of mine tried it also but was just a TOUCH liberal with his application. He wound up offending everyone in Homeroom and going home with multiple hornet stings. So gentlemen I warn you, MODERATION is KEY with this scent.

    Thumbs up for me because I always get compliments from the women!!!

    Terre d'Hermès by Hermès

    This is a nice frag that starts out on the bright side IMO. Then, once the drydown starts, it gives you that peppery aura. Not a overpowering frag by any means. A real gentleman's fragrance: subtle, sensual, classy, confident.

    Concentré D'Orange Verte by Hermès

    For starters, let me say that I've never tried the Ed'OV. Don't think I will after sampling the Concentre. This is a frag that comes out the barrel super hot! It turned me off a bit until the drydown. Then it begins to resemble a stronger version of Guerlain Homme. A nice frag if you're on a date. Too strong for the office until the drydown IMO.

    The One for Men by Dolce & Gabbana

    I can wear this frag anywhere and I will get a compliment. While it starts off a bit synthetic, once the drydown kicks in it tends to linger lightly on my skin and not overpower. A great frag for summer nights and autumn afternoons. The ladies at church seem to enjoy it; one even bought some for her husband. Had to inform her to buy a set for herself as well.

    Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani

    Not what I was gunning for. When I sampled it in a magazine I thought, "wow, I gotta get it". Now I let my nephew wear it when he visits. The scent kinda wears off of me after a few hours. Maybe it's due to the humidity here in Atlanta and my heavy sweating that has an effect. It has a fresh kick in the first hour or two, but I desire more stamina.

    A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

    I love Angel Men! This is my "go get 'er" frag when I fancy a bit of skirt-chasing. The chocolate, vanilla, and peppermint notes are the most prominent on my skin. I thought it had a touch of cinnamon. In any case, the ladies in the 18-to-24 category seem to go wild over this one, especially while clubbing . While I did get a few complements from women in their 30s (and one gorgeous 44yr old), IMO this is a scent for the kittens; for cougars look elsewhere. Caveat: spray this DIRECTLY on skin and wait for the drydown before dressing because the scent will stick on your garments until you hit the cleaners.
