 | Reaction T-Shirt by Kenneth ColeI'm quite close to buying this one. The fruity notes stay on and are very elegant. Can easily be a unisex cologne. Smells like a refreshing, calming morning shower on a weekend. 28th March, 2009. |
 | Hugo Element by Hugo BossShort lasting, has barely any character, and is meant to smell "transparent" but ends up smelling like freshly washed clothes. I could have fallen for it but it needs to offer more, IMHO. 28th March, 2009. |
 | Hugo XY by Hugo BossIt smells best at first, but the cool fruity accords fade away into notes that are shared by so many other frags.. 28th March, 2009. |
| | Silver Mountain Water by CreedI finally found it. After over 30 samples bought from various websites, this is the one I can buy with confidence that I will cherish it for as long as I own it. My wife loves it too. Inarguably pleasant and brings happiness to both the wearer and the surrounding people without making a big statement or being confrontational - much like most unisex colognes are. 28th March, 2009. |
| | Néroli Sauvage by CreedToo simple in its citrus ways. Not unpleasant, though. 28th March, 2009. |
| | Molecule 02 by Escentric MoleculesCouldn't smell anything at first but an hour later it smelled almost exactly like sandalwood on my skin. Delivers very little for its price. You'll like it if you want a woody scent that stays very close to your skin. 22nd March, 2009. |
| | L'Homme Sage by DivineYou can think of this as wearing a hint of Lagerfield while smelling lots of incense smoke. If someone else is wearing it, you'd probably not think it's coming from a person, rather from an object somewhere. As it dries down, the smoke element fades and a more welcoming scent emerges, but still not pleasant enough for my taste. 22nd March, 2009. |
| | Comme des Garçons 2 Man by Comme des GarçonsReminds me of eating grapes when they're still very small, tough, and sour. It's well made and unique - I do not agree that it smells like Gucci PH - but still not for me. 22nd March, 2009. |
| | Lagerfeld Classic by LagerfeldA true classic. Makes a strong statement of seduction so it's not suitable in many occasions. Old fashioned, obviously, but still an important landmark in the history of men's fragrance. 22nd March, 2009. |
| | Hammam Bouquet by Penhaligon'sLacks refinement - I want to smell the aroma of the petals of the rose, not the smell of the tissue of crushed plant matter. Overpriced even if it were cheap, which it is not. 22nd March, 2009. |
| | Laila by Geir NessVery clean and pleasant. Smells like someone just stepped out of a refreshing bath plus a fruity element. Not suitable for a man, IMHO. 22nd March, 2009. |
| | Anvers 2 by Ulrich LangMy wife liked this one but I picked up the smell of acetone the entire time.. I wish my nose weren't so strange. 21st March, 2009. |
| | Allure Homme Edition Blanche by ChanelNot a thumbs down because my wife liked it. I found it ok, but after 2 hours it smells very much like Hererra 212 for men, only 212 has a stronger twist of originality to it. 16th March, 2009. |
| | Love and Luck for Men by Ed Hardy [Christian Audigier]Nice, but not original. If you're not acquainted with the many other frags that smell like it, you'll find it exciting, and you'll be right to buy it. 14th March, 2009. |
| | Burberry Summer for Men by BurberryThumbs down because of a complete lack of originality. Very familiar, smells like a hundred other colognes, and I can't stand geranium. 14th March, 2009. |
| | Gucci Pour Homme II by GucciAll too familiar. I was hoping for something exciting or at least interesting. This one offered boredom. 14th March, 2009. |
| | Jaïpur Homme by BoucheronI sprayed it on my skin and I can't wait for it to go away. Too overbearing, spicy and powdery at the same time. Nothing "modern" about this one. 14th March, 2009. |
| | Hugo by Hugo BossWas very popular in its time, but to my nose it had a strange hint of what smelled like.. human skin?? Whatever that spunk was within Hugo, it always puts me off. 14th March, 2009. |
| | Herrera for Men by Carolina HerreraQuite unique and very masculine. I wouldn't wear it because it would be like wearing a billboard with neon lights and I don't want my cologne to draw too much attention to me. However, I wouldn't mind it on someone else. Marginal thumbs up. 9th March, 2009. |
| | Claiborne Sport by Liz ClaiborneFresh, lemony, sporty. A good buy. 3rd March, 2009. |
| | Pomegranate Noir by Jo MaloneVery nice and opened my eyes to how cool pomegranate can be, but it draws attention to itself just a little too much. Worth trying for sure. 1st March, 2009. |
| | Grapefruit by Jo MaloneIt delivers very good grapefruit, which is why I'm not giving it a thumbs down. It fades down into a soap (Zest comes to mind) and when I tried to mix it with other essences it was almost completely obliterated. That's why I'm not giving it a thumbs up. 1st March, 2009. |
| | Do Son by DiptyqueWhat's wrong with tuberose? I love tuberose. I can't grow it easily here in the North so I'm happy to have it in a bottle. 28th February, 2009. |
| | Tam Dao by DiptyqueMy wife loved it. I hated it. It's a fine cologne but it's too 80s, strong, draws attention to itself, not to the wearer. 28th February, 2009. |
| | Jardin Clos by DiptyqueI guess I'll have to be the first thumbs down giver on this one. I see this one as surely feminie. Nice but a little too assertive. Tells you the wearer is a serious businesswoman who you don't want to mess around with. I like a perfume to tell me that the wearer is a nice, pleasant, breezy person. 28th February, 2009. |
| | Philosykos by DiptyqueA very nice fig. I liked it a lot. 28th February, 2009. |
| | Ofrésia by DiptyqueSorry for giving this one a thumbs down. I love fresia so much to the point that I was really excited to try this one, but on my skin it has a true foulness to it. It's almost as if they didn't get the essence of the flower, but the entire plant instead. Definitely try it on to see what it smells like on your skin. I'm sad and disappointed. 28th February, 2009. |
| | Olène by DiptyqueQuite nice but quite similar to Do Son. I have both samples with me and neither I nor my wife can tell the difference. Could they have placed the same fragrance in two sample vials by mistake? 28th February, 2009. |
| | Oyédo by DiptyqueIt promised me of grapefruit, but after a few minutes on my skin all I got was a strange stinging accord with a spunk that was not the least pleasant on me. 27th February, 2009. |
| | Chrome Legend by AzzaroHappy and delightful. Available everywhere. Why not try it? 26th February, 2009. |
