Platinum Égoïste by Chanel

Just PERFECT for me! Especially when I want to go a different route than a citrusy base fragrance. It's the fragrance that just keeps on giving! The notes are just amazing, give them time to develop and Platinum really does "shine". Go to the Chanel counter and give yourself a couple of squirts, walk around for about 30- 45 minutes, then decide.

Acqua di Parma Colonia by Acqua di Parma

Unmatched floral cologne that is almost too subtle. Great dry down from lemon to lavender and rose, with the rosemary blending beautifully. I really love both this cologne and the Intensa, and have been known to layer them both together.
Colonia staying power is good for me, but as it is cologne strength, this may be too short for some. Spraying some on a handkerchief or on an undershirt will help with the longevity.
This would be one of my top 10, but thankfully i don't have to choose...

Tabac Blond by Caron

This is truly a stunning fragrance from which one can never escape from it's hold over you!
How this fragrance vividly reminds me of a long-ago youthful love of mine, Katie. Stunningly beautiful and enjoyed life to the fullest. Her love still lasts, after all these years...

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

One of my weekday favorites, I really love this fragrance. For me it lasts and lasts, with or without the GIT body wash (which is a great product by itself and I do use!). I do smell some similarities with Cool Water, but Green Irish Tweed is far more refined and toned. I actually look forward to waking up on Mondays and going into my office, knowing I'm taking GIT with me!!

Happy for Men by Clinique

Nice warm Florida weather fragrance. Layer with some Happy body wash and aftershave balm (hey splurge!) Happy will be with you longer than with the EDT alone. Good scent for a warm and sunny afternoon out with your best gal. You definitely won't "out-fragrance" her!

Habit Rouge by Guerlain

WOWIEE!! Purchased HR blind from all the positive reviews...was ALMOST sorry I did at first spray. But wait, and you must be patient and wait, you WILL be rewarded with a fragrance that is timeless. From first spray through the hours that follow, HR continues to morph down from a sharp zinging citrus/floral concoction, into a great leather and vanilla power. Today is the third different time I have worn this and it keeps getting better and better.

Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa by Acqua di Parma

New classic with stunning, soft florals and a little leather on a great dry down. Longevity is excellent for me. It's my weekend wardrobe favorite!

Burberry for Men by Burberry

Confusing to me, just don't know how to describe it. Oh, wait I did... confusing. Save your $$.

Bois du Portugal by Creed

Sophisticated and warm, this is one of my favorites from Creed (GIT, being the other). My 18 year old son loves this as well, so much for the "old man scent". The "Woods of Portugal" do in fact, take me back to the days I lived on the Iberian peninsula, with the fragrance's longevity staying well into the wildly festive night and beyond!

Encre Noire by Lalique

Both thumbs up! Mesmerizing is right! The best vetiver (or should I say two vetivers?) that do last and last! Love the fact there aren't any top notes in this guy. A powerhouse fragrance that takes you on a fragrance ride like never before, without the speeding ticket!

Knize Ten by Knize

A roaring woody beach fire, then toned down to a spectacular, heady mix of wonderful floral scents that seem to change amongst each other. All my favorite flowers on my favorite leather couch...
