 | Canali Men by CanaliI really like the different scents in this one. The citrus top notes give a refreshing burst when first sprayed on. The vetiver and leather really come through for a really nice, masculin scent. 17th April, 2009. |
 | Fuel For Life pour Homme by DieselStrats out a little loud and cloying, but after about half an hour it is pleasant. It borders on being too feminine smelling for me as well. 15th April, 2009. |
| | Infusion d'Homme by PradaIt took several wearings to really appreciate this one and I've grown to love it. When first applied, there is a baby powder note which I don't like but it fades quickly. It settles into soap, fresh laundry, etc that just smells clean and fresh. Nothing daring here but just a nice clean frag. 13rd April, 2009. (Last Edited: 22nd April, 2009.) |
| | Lacoste (original) by LacosteOpened with a lemon cleaner type note that I was unsure about, but that didn't last too long. It settled into a very nice citrus and slightly woodsy scent unlike any I've sampled. This turned out nice and I will grab a bottle next time I see it. 18th February, 2009. |
| | Corduroy by ZirhThis has a sort of creamy cinnamon scent that I really like. It's got a very smooth spiced, woody and light citrus thing going on. So far it's been great on chilly, rainy days. But it's light enough that it should work in any weather. 17th February, 2009. |
| | Bulgari pour Homme by BulgariThis scent is crisp, clean and sophisticated. perfect for summer office wear. But as it's been said, it's sort of weak and doesn't last long on me. I do still enjoy it though, it jsut stays very close to the skin. 17th February, 2009. |
| | Tom Ford for Men by Tom FordI was really impressed with how this smelled on the spray card so I got a sample of it. It starts out great, kind of sweet, a little smoky citrus, and dusty dry woods. It starts very masculin. But I didn't like the dry down on my skin. It started to smell like baby powder. If the top notes lasted longer, I think this would be worth it. 30th January, 2009. |
| | Quorum by Antonio PuigPicked up a bottle really cheap on a blind buy, and I'm glad I did. This is definitely an 80's manly mans powerhouse! Huge woodsy, leathery, soapy, grassy scents in there. A little goes a long way. Over spray on this could result in a riot of sillage. 29th January, 2009. |
| | Pi Neo by GivenchyStarts off with some lemon/orange zest, and I was happy to not smell all the sickly sweet vanilla of the original. As it drys it pretty much left a dry cedar scent on me which I like, but I already have other cedar frags I like better. 28th January, 2009. |
| | Vetiver Sport by GuerlainSmells exactly how it sounds. it's a lighter, sportier version of Vetiver. it's not as peppery or woodsy and doesn't last as long though. But the soapy clean scent is nice. this is great for a quick spray before working out on a hot day. 28th January, 2009. |
| | Terre d'Hermès by HermèsAfter first trying a sample of this, I knew it was for me. From the bursting peppered orange opening to the vetiver, black pepper, woody dry down. I love it. It smells both fresh and mysterious, refreshing yet brooding. 28th January, 2009. |
| | Pi by GivenchyThis smells good for what it is, it's just too feminine and sweet for my taste. Vanilla, burnt cotton candy, cake frosting are all what come to mind. Not much else to it. 28th January, 2009. |
| | Eternity for Men by Calvin KleinAh Eternity. I remember when it came out, I was in high school and everyone wore it, including me. I've sampled it again recently and while it still smells good, it's nothing special. I can't really pick apart the different notes going on. It smells like... well, cologne. I think I smell a little citrus, maybe a bit of vetiver, and some sandalwood. 28th January, 2009. |
| | Zirh Ikon by ZirhFirst spray, spice, some pine and cinnimon! Loved it. It really reminds me of sitting by the fireplace on Christmas eve. It's a very warm and comforting scent, and like others I picked up and excellent bargain on a half priced gift set. This is great stuff, it's not too long lasting though. 27th January, 2009. |
| | John Varvatos by John VarvatosThis is a great scent. Starts with sweet vanilla, spices, fruit and I smell some other foody type aromas too. Once it starts to dry down, the food aromas calm down and give way to a woody, leather scent with just enough vanilla to balance it. This one begs to be worn on a night out, but I'm really enjoying it at work too. 27th January, 2009. (Last Edited: 29th January, 2009.) |
 | A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry MuglerTo my nose this is not good, not good at all. Smells like a cat peed on cotton candy. This definitely is a love it or hate it cologne. I hate it. 27th January, 2009. |
| | Vetiver by GuerlainClean, fresh, citrusy, this will always be a favorite. I love the soapy (in a good way) fresh out of a shower feeling. 18th January, 2009. |
| | Bulgari Aqua pour Homme Marine by BulgariFirst spray is a huge sweet citrus blast, maybe a little spice but smells almost feminine. Luckily, after about 15 minutes it settles into a more generic mens citrus frag. It's a nice warm weather scent, but can get a bit cloying if over applied. 15th January, 2009. |
| | Illicit by Billy JealousyThe clean, fresh laundry but not soapy scent really got me. It's refreshing, mood elevating goodness. Sampled at Nordstrom, and I can't get it out of my head. I need to sample again to make sure, but this seems like a for sure thing I need to get. 13rd January, 2009. |
| | Bigelow Barber Cologne Elixir Black No. 1581 by C.O. Bigelow ApothecaryThis scent smells almost exactly like Vaevatos Vintage. The vanilla is dominant in the dry down which I don't love as much, but overall this is nice scent. I also picked it up on clearance which makes it even better. 12nd January, 2009. |
| | Bulgari Black by BulgariLike others here, after reading the "rubber, burnt tires, tar" etc. I had to try it. And it doesn't disapoint. Who would have thought that a scent of tires would make a great cologne. There are other things in there too though, smoky wood, vanilla and spice. I don't get the unisex title, this is a straight up many scent for sure. 12nd January, 2009. |
| | Booster by LacostePicked this up at a discount store for under $15, and for that price it couldn't be beat. I like the light, sporty scent. the mint and eucalyptus come through and give you a little burst of energy. This is perfect for summer, especially a quick spray before hitting the gym. It fades fast though, but at the price for a pretty big bottle, it's easy enough to spray a couple times a day. 5th January, 2009. |
| | Guerlain Homme by GuerlainCitrus, vanilla, spice and some musk right out of the bottle. On the skin I get a warm ocean breeze smell, orange and spice. It doesn't last long, but this is a great lightweight scent. 16th December, 2008. |
| | Dirty English by Juicy CoutureI really like the cinnamon, clove and spice notes when first sprayed on. As it dries more of the leather, musk and wood come through. Hours later I am left with a warm leather and spicy aroma. This is a really great scent and lasts quite a long time. 16th December, 2008. |
| | Euphoria Men by Calvin KleinI can really smell the pepper and a little leather, but also leaves a clean freshly scrubbed scent too. Got compliments on this one too, everyone can't quite place what the scents are but said it smelled great. 16th December, 2008. |
| | Polo Explorer by Ralph LaurenI really enjoy this scent. On my skin, it started with almost a menthol/fruit/pine aroma, really smells clean yet myserious at the same time. dry down settles into a woody slightly spiced scent. After about four hours the scent is all but gone though. 15th December, 2008. |
| | Tokyo by KenzoStarts with a mellow burst of ginger and citrus, but the top note doesn't last too long. Mellows into a cedar and spicy aroma. It smells nice and somewhat Christmasy, so I take this as a perfect time of year to wear it. Only gripe is it needs a few more sprays through the day to stay lively. 15th December, 2008. |
| | Banana Republic Classic Limited Edition by Banana RepublicThis is marketed as unisex, but it smells too feminine for me. On my wife it smells great though, clean and light. I like it on her and she enjoys wearing it. 10th December, 2008. |
| | Slate by Banana RepublicStarts out bright and fresh with some citrus, pepper and spice. As it dries it changes to a woody dry smell that smells kind of generic. It's truly great for the first hour of wearing though. 10th December, 2008. |
| | New West for Him by AramisI fondly remember this from my early college days. This aroma always reminded me of the beach. Crisp, spicy and watery, they really should bring this back in all it's original glory. 10th December, 2008. |
