    New York by Parfums de Nicolaï

    Love it! took me a few wearings to really love this one, as I did smell similarities to a few other fragrances (BdP & a bit of Oscar Por Lui). But, it really is unique and I find myself wearing it often!

    Knize Two by Knize

    Spectacular floral. Quite different than my favorite Knize 10, but great scent none the less! Prior thumbs-up reviews say it all.

    After a few time wearing, it seriously grows on you, soft florals and comforting...

    Eau de Patou by Jean Patou

    Found at a discount Fragrance House, had 3 bottles. Wonderfully soft, creamy citrus floral. May go back to purchase the remaining 2 bottles!

    Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme by Van Cleef & Arpels

    Amazing, changing, morphing...
    aroma, bouquet, essence...
    I think the most complex and intriguing fragrance I have experienced. It's big and soft at the same time, which is why this fragrance is hard for me to figure out! The more I wear it, the more I like it!

    Tabac Original by Mäurer & Wirtz

    I was put off by the "cheap" price, thinking it could not be that good! Man, was I WRONG! Love this juice (cologne version). First few minutes, nothing great, then wonderful intoxicating lavender lightly surrounded by the other florals. OT rounds out to be wonderfully masterful fragrance!

    Jaïpur Homme by Boucheron

    Just purchased after reading all the great reviews here. Sprayed on in store and walked around for 30 minutes sniffing myself!
    This, for me, is the most incredible fragrance. I really love some others, but this may be my, "if you could only choose one", one! A little more time will tell...

    Tabaróme Millésime by Creed

    first purchases about a year ago, thought the ginger was WAY over the top. But now, I really love this scent, when used in moderation! Initial blast of OMG, dries into a decent tobacco/mellon/ginger/citrus mixture that really improves with time. I have a small decant of the vintage tabarome and can smell the difference in the tobacco note. I like to blend the 2 together!
    Lasts all day for me, but I can see how you may not like this scent!

    Platinum Égoïste by Chanel

    It's the fragrance that just keeps on giving! So I gave the bottle to my son after I tried to like it for months. Powerful fragrance, but some chemical smell on the dry down, I do not like...

    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...

    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.

    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!!

    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...
    This review is for the pure parfum

    Encre Noire by Lalique

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

    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!

    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...

    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!
