A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler
Can't stand this stuff, got a sample. Smells like you left the coffee pot on over night. Burnt coffee with some vanilla and chocolate thrown in. Overpowering and sickening sweetness.

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake
The most complimented fragrance I have. It is similar to Acqua di Gio but has something extra with and more character. More masculine IMO. My favorite of all.

Gucci Pour Homme II by Gucci
I spray tested this today and didn't like it at first but when I got home, this deep aroma came off my arm. Its different. Thumbs up.

Vetiver by Guerlain
I appreciate the blend of scents but this smells like something you would clean with.

M7 by Yves Saint Laurent
This reminds me of gucci envy. I can see where people get the cherry cough syrup at the initial spray. Dries down to a woody scent with a hint of sweetness. I hate sweet male scents or scents that smell too much like candy, but this one has the perfect blend of woods and amber. Its not overpowering but has good silage.

Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent
I bought this because I had a sample of the spray on a card and my gf liked it. However when I bought it and used it on me she said it smelled like her perfume. Too sweet maybe. I realy love this after it drys down and the "sweetness" wears off. It is very strong and one spray will do. If it is warm it can become cloying.

Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior
Where I work they clean the floor with something that smells like this. I hate it. Smells something like lemon pinesol.

Le Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier
I sprayed some of this on my arm and I smelled it all the way home. Potent in your face smell. I don't like the sweetness in this, theres too much. My sister used to have something that smelled like this. It also made me sneeze.

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès
Wow. Way too strong for me, it makes me sick. I can't get past the plastic/synthetic smell in this.

Z by Ermenegildo Zegna
I see alot of reviews comparing this to AdG. I think this smells exactly like Polo Black but with more of a floral note instead of the citrus. In all this just smells like a mixture of other colognes. I like aquatic scents so ill give this one a neutral.

Fahrenheit by Christian Dior
I admit when I first smelled this cologne years ago I hated it. You have to let this one dry a few minutes before you smell it. It does open on a gasoline note. This time I tried many different ones and carried the spray cards with me to smell them after they had dried down. This one dries down so good. The opening note of the gas like smell was gone. I instantly bought this one, very unique and definining. Very nice masculine scent. My partner loves it.

Green Irish Tweed by Creed
I got my sample of GIT today. It does smell like cool water. It is more floral than coolwater. I can smell the Iris in GIT. I own coolwater and honestly its hard to tell them apart. GIT has more of a floral note and smells more "soapy" than coolwater and definitely lasts longer and the smell doesn't change as much as coolwater does on my skin. I like this cologne but with the price ranges being a hundred dollars or more between two colognes that smell almost identical, it's a no-brainer. GIT it just costs way too much. My girlfriend couldn't tell them apart.

L'Eau Bleue D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake
I bought this one based on a solo review. The smell is unique. It has a more green scent rather than blue. Opens up with a chemical like odor or should I say medicinal is a better word. This reminds me of how a fake christmas or other evergreen tree smells when it is new upon the first sprays. The dry-down is plugs my nose with musty moss. Moss is good in fragrances but I didn't like it in this one. No joke, It smells like the interior of a cave. It is one of those try before you buy. I think that it does have that dirty yet clean smell that girls like, but I couldn't stand to smell it. I gave this stuff away!

PS by Paul Sebastian
I like this one. You have to watch out and not put too much on or it will be overpowering. It is a masculine scent. I love how it smells after I put it on. When it drys it has a note of sweetness to it but not too much, it blends well with the other ingredients. I think this fragrance suits better for older men. Theres a strong note of something in it that ive smelled older men wear. Overall I like this cologne compared to alot of others I've tried being the fact that it does smell more "manly" than most. On the downside it can be too strong even with just a little.

Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein
I bought this one without smelling it because I always see it in stores. It smells like powder and warm vanilla. There is a note of spiciness to it but it is mostly overturned by the powdery sweet smell. I can smell the spiciness more when I put my nose right on my skin but other than that, when getting whiff its baby powder and vanilla. I tried to like it and wore it a few times but when ever I smell it, I always think of a woman. Its just to sweet and powdery for my taste.

Escape for Men by Calvin Klein
I like this one, it has a nice citrus and mossy smell to me. Very masculine. I can see where people say it smells too fruity or like juicy fruit, but c'mon thats you first put it on! It does smell like that but that leaves after a few minutes. It then dries to a clean moss smell and the citrus is blend is just right. I like this one out of all the other ck colognes.
