This is sad. Top notes of Axe Marine, then it dries down to refreshing hotel soap. What a waste of time. Go to your local supermarket and pick up some good quality Brut instead.

Vulgar and delicate! This concept has the same kind of attractiveness as a classy, innocent woman, vulgary licking her lips; sending out mixed, yet attractive signals. Either you get this "paradox" or you do not. I got it.

The only Boss scent with balls? So it seems. This stuff is VERY potent and masculine; young buyer of fresh scents beware! Patchouli and sandalwood are thrown out in all directions. Many women love it, and it reminds me of my youth. It is a good thing this one is not discontinued yet.

Naomi Campbell preferes this scent? Hmmmmm... Prince Charles too? Uhhhh... I think these to celebrities even each other out, if you catch my drift?

GIT captures that fresh out of the shower-feeling. This must have been a unique scent when it first came out in 1985. Now, however, there are fresh scents in abundance on the market. Yet, GIT has the complexity, sillage and quality most other scents in this category lack. Buy it if you have got money to spare.

Aahh, Passage d'Enfer; one of my favorite scents, both in name and olfactory delight. Initially, it smells of crushed stones. After a few minutes, white lilies dominate, and provide plenty of subtle whiffs throughout the day.

Higly recommended!

Vulgar, direct, provoking, alluring leather. And it is ludicrously cheap. Buy it!

Dior's latest release was a pleasant surprise. The sweetness of this fragrance might not be for everyone. The caramel middle notes, and the leather lurking in the background is somewhat reminiscent of Dzing! However, the lack of complexity and sillage makes it, at best, a poor man's substitute for L'Artisan's masterpiece. Nevertheless, I will recommend this well-made scent.

Aahh! The delight of entering a coffee shop, inhaling the characteristic scent of freshly ground and brewed dark roasted coffee. As I approach the counter, waffs of gourmet chocolate greet my nose. And what is the sweetness in the air, but if not coffee syrup, reminiscent of patchouli.

Despite its popularity, this is one of my favorite summer scents. Issey starts off with a burst of Yuzu (Japanese lemon) and continues with very nice middle notes of lily. The woody base makes this fragrance last all day (at least on me), and also makes it suitable for occasional wearing during the rest of the seasons.
