Nice scent which reminds me of Armani Mania. Their middle and base notes are similar. And they are also similar in terms of longevity and sillage, which are just a bit below average. I like cedar a lot so here a thumb up.

This is a dusty, dry scent, just like the name implies. I get raw cedar, which makes this scent really dry and woody. What comes up in my mind as eyes closed is the desert, some camels, merchants selling herbs and spices, strong sunlight, and dust. It's really that good!

Although a bit let down by the longevity department, Chanel pour Monsieur is a true cologne for a gentleman. It reminds me of London in 1950s, with white men wearing suits and ties and a pair of sparkling brown leather shoes. The weather is warm, sunny, but the atmosphere is slightly dim. The photos on the wall are of black and white, and tobacco smoke overcrowding the coffee cafe. This is what Chanel pour Monsieur gives to my vision.

The opening was too soft, and almost undetectable. As far as I remember, it was fresh and pleasant enough to start with in the dim morning. Not long at all, it accelerated into a more mature scent, and bore a resemblance to that of Mogul, yet far less thick in the sense of sweetness. I caught a hint of leather and light smoke clouding my presence within 30 minutes of wearing it. However, the disappointment is that it is too subtle, too short-lived. After 2.5 hours I could hardly detect it, even when I moved a lot and was about to sweat I still couldn't catch it rising from my skin. Dragon needs to be intensified and doing so would guarantee me buy a bottle.

The first blast to me was synthetic, and I caught the unpleasant smell of alcohol, which disappeared a few minutes later. During its middle life on my skin, I thought I was wearing a lighter version of B*Men, or, Mat; Very Male--the second closest scent to it. On its drydown was an even lighter version of B*Men, which I like as it suits the weather here. I also got a rubbery smell during its middle and base notes. I don't know what category this scent is in, but it's sweet, dark, and romantic, and somewhat clean. In my opinion, Mogul isn't a complex scent, nevertheless, it could be a bit hard for a newbie to wear due to its nature that doesn't capture the taste of mass market.

Do i like it? Yes, I do. Would I buy a bottle? Maybe I would, and I would have said "yes" if it last longer than 4 hours.

God I swear I get a strong hint of Tommy Boy and Dunhill D in it. But Fougères Marines is superior in terms of quality and longevity.

This can't be a light version. It's so heady and strong that it lasts longer than 12 hours with just 3 sprays. I like the original juice, and still not sure about this one whether should I sell it or not. It also smells feminine on the drydown. Maybe will have to say goodbye soon.

Wow, this is one of the best blind buys. It reminds me of Dunhill Edition, which is ranked in my top 5. Very incense-like, soft, full-bodied and modern. Will buy again for sure!

This is one of my exciting blind buys but it turned out a bit disappointing since it bears a strong resemblance to that of Wings by Giorgio Beverly Hills. Anyway, it's a good cologne, fresh and invigorating, but of course, has been done before. No originality so here I give it a neutral rating.

What a nice scent! I love it from the first sniff, mainly into its middle and base notes, which are so fresh and invigorating, also full of confident, manly and modern. The berries and tobacco notes are more than pleasant, really good for BKK heat. Thumb up for this one.

The opening is like Versace Eau Fraiche. I didn't know what the base notes are like since I wore it before bed. Will give it another try later. But since it's similar to Versace, which I own, I'll give it a thumb up as this is a good fresh scent, very watery.

Just like Echo, only that the citrus is more pronounced at the top notes, but then it turns to Echo. I wore it about thrice and decided to sell it.

This fragrance lasts so long for a fresh scent. On me, with 3 sprays it lasts more than 8 hours. However, I prefer its older brother Essential for its lemony side.

At the first blast it resembles Versace Dreamer but then it settles into a warm, sensual, masculine sweetness that I enjoy getting its whiff so much. 5 stars for this great scent, good for a date, a night out, but could be a bit cloying in a warm climate.

Top note stands out quicker and more obvious than Le Male. And as it's lighter I guess it's easier to wear. It lasts at least 7 hours on my skin and it does project very well. For its price compared to Le Male, get this one.

Yes, a clone of Creed MI. But its top note has nothing to compare with Creed as it's synthetic and isn't as loud as the niche one. However, I like it enough that I have purchased 2 large bottles for a good price, about US$41 each.

Tried it a few days ago. It's a nice fresh scent, good for summer, but as the previous poster said, not original or unique. However, to me, it kinda sticks to the skin, and lasts for at least 8 hours. It really has nothing to do with the original, which I found a little similar to Givenchy Pi.

This is a pleasant fruity scent. Although it smells a bit synthetic, it's very nice and modern. You can wear it to work or on a date. Girls will dig it. I have 3 sample vials and looking to buy a 100-ml bottle but it seems so hard to find.

Wow, it's so green and fresh and it bears a resemblance to that of Eternity, but somewhat fresher and less sexy than CK's juice. If you love a casual fragrance that can be worn 24 hours and for any occasion, please give it a try. It's also low-priced.

My Top 5. It's very classy, sophisticated and sexy at the same time. I had been looking for it for 13 years. Thanks to basenotes for such a good job. Reading its notes helps a lot.

It's very clean and fresh and I think it is the clone of AdG. Will sure get it when they offer discount as their products are more expensive here than in the U.S. and in the U.K. It's about US$40/100-ml bottle.

It renders me nostalgia. I love this scent but a bit difficult to wear.

The top note is very fresh and excellent, but the base note is what I hate - too fruity and sickly sweet. No more than 2 sprays for me. However, it's tolerable.

I really like this scent. When I wear it I think of Harley Davidson and a black jacket with black jeans. Extra masculine and long long lasting. The bottle is cool, with elegant cap. Give it a try!

Thumb up, what a sexy scent? Very sensual and outstanding. Will get another bottle once this one's finished. Love the bottle too, but would be good if there's a see-through part.

I like her fragrances - 212 Men, 212 Men on Ice and this one CHIC. What a lovely smell it is! Sweet, fresh, sexy, fruity and masculine. Thumb up Ms. Herrera.

Nice bottle I like it. The smell is so-so. Also there is a problem with longevity. I won't buy again, but at the same time I don't regret.

It does not stand out amongst others though, but classy in my opinion. I recommend this one who sometimes have to dress well for meeting.

Bought it along with Hoggar & Transat. This is a classy scent. It's light but smells pretty nice enough for the evening wear too. Good for polo t-shirt and trousers.

Bought it along with Hoggar. It is a bit similar to Chrome, especially on the drydown. The top note is not the same at all but it's in the same category to Chrome. An office scent - light and comfortable.

I love this scent very much. Very warm, lots of vanilla. Got the roll-on too and the price is low. Will get more once I finish this bottle.

Love it. What can I say? I wear it for a serious meeting, like meeting older people whom I respect and got compliments. It's also good for office. The tea note is what I like.

My first buy before became addicted to heavenly scents out there. This is a very sensual, sexy scent. I wear it for special occasion - a date.

It seems to last forever. A strong scent indeed. I like it. Mysterious as advertised. It goes along with a well-dressed man.

Fell in love with it right from the first sniff. It's my No. 1 office scent. Got lots of compliments.

Very outstanding. It reminds me of the ocean. The problem is the longevity, apart from that, great.

Fresh and Cool. It's a real invigorating scent. Great for summer time.

It's sweet and stick to the skin. I'm not impressed with this one though. It's okay for me.

A nice daywear scent. Love it on rainy days too. One thing I don't like is the bottle.

What can I say about this one? Other have said it all. I'm in love with it and feel it suitable for the special occasions. It smells pricey, classy, sexy and sensual.
