Lacoste Challenge by Lacoste
This citrusy, fruity smell is something I've smelled a thousand times already, at least that is the impression it creates. Absolutley no imagination. Hey let's make a nice bottle and get an popular actor to advertise it. The bottle is cool, actor is so-so, the scent itself...well, it doesn't make you wanna puke, it's just plain and ordinary.

Boss Selection by Hugo Boss
Nothing special. I wouldn't mind getting it as a gift, but hardly I'd buy it.

Paco Rabanne pour Homme by Paco Rabanne
Strong, sharp, conservative classic! Like Azzaro PH, they don't make such scents these days! Old school that one must have.

1 Million by Paco Rabanne
Sweet scent. I even like it, but there are so many sweet scents out there, market is bombarded with them. A younger girl will fall for a nice looking man wearing this, but the thing is that there are to many kids 18+ wearing this. So if you want to stand out in the crowd and be different, don't buy it. If you like it and enjoy the scent, then buy it. I myself just might buy it one day, really.

Pino Silvestre by Silvestre
My father used to wear this, I often spritzed myself when I was a kid. Reminds me of great times. Unfortunatley it is not easy to find it these days, where I'm from at least. So fresh, so pine! Classic that lives and should continue to live!

Envy for Men by Gucci
Sweet and inviting. Modern and conservative, but yet somehow casual. Envy for men is a scent with a style. Sillage is quite ok, longveity is moderate - wouldn't mind if it lasted longer. It can be worn during warmer weather but in the evening when temperatures are just a bit down.

Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana
Strong, sharp, masculine, full of pride and dignity, conservative, clean. All in all great scent that doesn't go unnoticed. Great work!

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès
Dry Mediterranean soil and orange, great scent. Yes it is kind of linear, but it is also masculine and kind of conservative in a cosmopolitan way. This scent is truly unique.

Hugo Dark Blue by Hugo Boss
I was fairly mistaken. This scent is not bad. First time I tried it, I thought I tried it, but it was a fake atrocious smell. After quite a while I tried the real Dark Blue and I find it to be a solid oriental spicy fragrance worthy of my attention. Really is kind of dark and naughty. Evening scent for outgoing people.

Joop! Go by Joop!
This is a funny frag. Sweet and perky, not masculine at all, girls can wear this without second thoughts. Wearing it on a suit would make one look ridiculous. This scent is something young skaters would wear, but that doesn't mean the scent itself is bad. I personally would not put this on, but non the less I'll give it a thumb up just because it is perky and funny.

Bulgari pour Homme Soir by Bulgari
Reminds me of Azzaro Chrome, but with less metalic hint in it. It is quite elegant, longveity and sillage are quite good, at least on my skin. It is not loud at all, but subtly reminds you and others about its presence.

Boss in Motion White Edition by Hugo Boss
Not bad, but nothing special. Very generic. Looked and seemed promising.

Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss
At first it struck me as generic, with poor longveity and sillage. Later as it developed I started to see how sweetly subtle this little gem is. Reminds me of nice, warm, sunny weather. Even though it is sweet, I'd wear it during hot summer days without thinking twice!

Ungaro III by Ungaro
This is so delicate and classy! Works great wether the weather is cold or warm. It is a bit mysterious, dark, subtle. Lasts long, sillage is not great, I already said this scent is subtle and I think it was meant to be as such. Darker clothes come to my mind, blends well with the suit. Wouldn't go casual with this one, scent has this certain dose of elegance in it.

Joop! Homme by Joop!
I see many negative reviews here. I can understand why. When I first sprayd this I was baffled. Sweet, cloying and overbearing. But as time passes and this scent comes to its drydown, I can see it is delicious, beautiful, dark in its sweetness. Evening, colder weather and nicer clothes paired with this scent = aphrodisiac. Yes. You don't really have to like this scent, but trust my word, it works, you get noticed. Don't overspray it because it is strong and has a great longveity. Joop Thrill Man is a subtler and milder version of this scent, also works quite well and younger women love it on a man who wears it well.

Fahrenheit by Christian Dior
A burned tire on me. Or a warm asphalt. I can understand that some people love this. But I just can't stand it! I'd risk it to see how women might react...
15 July 2009
Azzaro pour Homme by Azzaro
Warm, very masculine. Evening scent by my opinion. During fall, could pass with one spritz during summer night. They don't make such scents these days...
15 July 2009
Joop! Thrill Men by Joop!
The moment I tried this I knew, this is something girl wants on you. I got that confirmation. It is spicy, sweet, but not cloying. Seems simple, but it is elegant and urban :)))

Silver Black / Onyx by Azzaro
This is great. It is sharp a bit, a bit soapy, yes. Very evening scent. Should be worn with darker attire, good for a suit as well. Masculine, no room for women to wear it. New age old school I'd say about this scent. One spritz on a warmer weather, 2-3 in colder weather. Doesn't strike me as winter, goes perfect in autumn.
10 July 2009
Kenzo pour Homme by Kenzo
Sweet, fresh, aquatic. Somewhat strange. YSL Body Kourous, overly full of benzoin, is less fresher version of this particular perfume. I personally like it, but I'm not overly enthusiastic about it. Although I'll add it is special and unique in its way.

All About Eve by Joop!
Very feminine. I always like to smell something like this on a woman.
29 June 2009
The One by Dolce & Gabbana
I tried this accidentaly and liked it a lot. At a point, I have to admit, I was dissapointed when 2 minutes later I found out it was pour femme :)) Great scent ladies, I'd like to smell this on my girl!
29 June 2009
Blu pour Homme by Bulgari
Overly sweet and strong. Not bad, but not great. I might like this more in colder weather.
29 June 2009
Hugo XY by Hugo Boss
Generic. It's not a thumb down because it definitley doesn't deserve that. There is a slight possibility I might have this scent one day even though it's nothing special.
29 June 2009
Hugo Energise by Hugo Boss
What is this? Bitter alcohol with rotten fruit, kind of smells like hospital. Energy? What is energetic about it? Even the bottle looks pharmaceutical. Not that the bottle itself is not cool, actualy it is, but the scent it contains...not!
29 June 2009
Herrera Aqua by Carolina Herrera
This has nothing to do with aqua! Smell is sweet, has a great sillage and longveity...and a wrong name!!! There is this leather note in it that bothers me a bit, but it's ok. Not bad. I might even purchase it one day.
29 June 2009
M7 by Yves Saint Laurent
This is beautiful! For colder weather and definitley in the evening. Great scent!
29 June 2009
Versace pour Homme by Versace
Very fresh, longveity is great, sillage is quite good. Not agressive at all. Thumbs up!
29 June 2009
Cool Water by Davidoff
Spicy and somewhat soapy. Not that I really dig it in particular, but chicks really dig it...so I give it thumbs up!
After some time I came to love this scent and is one of my favourites. Will sure restock :))

Very Irresistible for Men Fresh Attitude by Givenchy
Sweet scent. No big difference between ˝very irresistible for men˝ and this, except this one has a little touch of mint in it. It is quite longlasting.
25 June 2009
Tuscan Soul by Salvatore Ferragamo
Great scent, long lasting, fresh. Reminds me of spring and early summer. Good for evening and daily wear.
25 June 2009
Allure Homme Sport Cologne by Chanel
Very citrsy/lemony, fresh and quite longlasting, but quite generic and not worth the money. There are cheaper good quality frags just like this one! I won't give it thumb down simply because it's not obnoxious.
13 June 2009
Incanto pour Homme Essential by Salvatore Ferragamo
I kind of like it. Sweet it is, somewhat leomny, light. Spring/summer fragrance.
12 June 2009
Givenchy Gentleman by Givenchy
Old school. Very powdery/leathery. Definitley for older generation.
08 May 2009
Calvin Klein Man by Calvin Klein
Masculine, a bit dark, spicy. One would have expected very much. It isn't. None the less I quite like this scent, It can be worn during a day and in the evening. It is not overbearing so it can go well in hot weather as well.
08 May 2009
Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent
Urinal cakes were mentioned constantly...I see why. Atrocious! Women might like it, haven't met such yet. Bottled pee someone said. He was right. I will not judge people who like this, though. De gustibus non est disputandum.
02 May 2009
L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake
Strong, fresh, woody...and unfortunatley not quite me! I will not give it thumb down because it is not a bad scent at all, it's just not me.
02 May 2009
Armani Attitude Extreme by Giorgio Armani
Sweet, weirdley fresh in its sweetness. Barely feel coffee in it, lemon gives it certain something. Reminds me just a bit on Black code, but I guess it's because of lemon. Thumbs up.
02 May 2009
Dior Homme Sport by Christian Dior
Synthetic, fresh, sopay. Sadly it is somewhat cloying. It is not a hopless case, it's just that I'm obviously not that much into it. I'd wear it if someone bought it to me as a gift. Doubtly I'd buy it myself.
16 April 2009
1881 Black by Cerruti
Oriental woody, sweet, a bit synthetic, strong-I recommend one spritz only, great longveity, quite youthfull. Of course there are better scents out there, but all in all, not bad...but not quite black, I must add.
15 April 2009
CK In 2U POP Him by Calvin Klein
Sweet, fresh, woody. Not bad for summer. I personally love it very much. Not sure about longveity, though.
14 April 2009
Allure Homme Edition Blanche by Chanel
I like this smell. It is sweet and somewhat sharp at the same time. But unfortunately it doesn't last long on me.
06 April 2009
Chrome by Azzaro
Very fresh. Hint of metallic. Incredible. So subtle, but yet so much there and full of energy! Excellent for spring and summer.
04 April 2009
Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani
It is good. I was expecting much much more. But it is good. Oriental, spicy, not atrocious. Nothing spectacular. Will have it one day, but it's just not high on my list right now.
27 February 2009
Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent
This is not just for everyone. I'm on a verge giving this a thumb down, but I won't because many women have positive opinion about this frag. I personally prefer Kenzo pour homme rather than this because, this two frags smelling similar, Kenzo is much fresher!
27 February 2009
Hugo by Hugo Boss
Spicy and fresh. I tried it, and I'm quite sure I'm gonna have it in my collection :)
10 February 2009
Gucci by Gucci pour Homme by Gucci
Fresh, minty, spicy. Really not bad. Totally evening perfume, especially going out in some club. All in all, very nice, considerably classy, not overly intrusive.
10 February 2009
Givenchy pour Homme Blue Label by Givenchy
Sweet and fresh, quite longlasting...but nothing special about it.
10 February 2009
Very Irrésistible for Men by Givenchy
Great scent. Very warm, lasts long. It goes well during autumn and winter, maybe on early spring, would not use it during summer. I think it should be worn only on dark clothes, preferably black. You can smell grape and as if there's a hint of chocolate. Not overly masculine but it leaves a certain dose of mystery that women fall for. Both thumbs up.
