Heir by Paris Hilton

Found this at KMART for 24.99 on a rack, decided to purchase, it rang up as 12.49. BONUS. Anyways, it's light, kinda soapy at first. I like it though, especially for 12.49.

Adidas Dare by Adidas

Smells ok. I can see this as an active cologne, maybe just leaving the gym or w/e.

Got it for Christmas from a friend who knew I was a cologne hounds, so I'm happy to add it to the collection.

Although I've never worn it, it doesn't smell bad, but it's nothing to be excited about.

UR for Men by Usher

Now this is the silver bottle. I owned the black bottle before the silver, and got a sample of the silver bottle. WOW. I wore this sample whenever it was clutch time. Absolutely magnificent. 5/5. I bought the bottle, and it seemed... a little different, 4/5. Still good though, still complimented.

SoCal Cologne by Hollister

Sisters bought it for me for my birthday. I dig it. Unfortunately I can't get into the science and the ingredients, but I can just give my opinion. Smells great off the bat. Almost woody? Very good smell though, although I don't feel that it lasts very long.

Probably only got a few compliments wearing this cologne, but also one of my faves. It's one of those colognes that you can smell the bottle, and it's just got that X-Factor.

My first review, but I plan on doing them all like this.

I am King by Sean John

I love this scent. I'm a sucker for the grapefruity smell. I sniff the bottle daily, even when not wearing it. Only negative is the staying power.

Usher for Men by Usher

Got this one free. Smells ok. Nothing to brag about, and I don't wear it much.
Only wore a few times, and didn't really think either way on it.

Jake by Hollister

Great smelling scent. I don't wear it often, though. Was a birthday present, and with a collection so big, and me being single, I've been sticking with the heavy hitters as of late. Probably wore this cologne 3 times.

Very Sexy for Him 2 by Victoria's Secret

I like this one the same as the first, but they're different in their own way. Very nice smelling, complimented often. Need a new bottle.

Unforgivable by Sean John

Wow. This cologne smells horrible right out the bottle. Pesticide. After a while, the smell wears down, and actually smells pleasant.

Brit for Men by Burberry

Ugh. I could go either way with this one. The place I shop at had a gift set for pretty cheap, so I went ahead with it. I got the big bottle, and I've probably sprayed it four times. I'm not impressed, and have only wore it once. I'd love to get rid of this one and recoup a lil cash, aha.

Very Sexy for Him by Victoria's Secret

Maybe it's in my head, maybe not? But I feel sexy with it on, actually. Maybe it's because it's Victorias secret? I dunno. Very good smell, often complimented.

Weekend for Men by Burberry

Got this for real cheap at a TJ maxx.

Very feminine, but still smells good. I'm not the manliest of men, so I guess it's expected, haha.

Touch for Men by Burberry

I dig this scent. It was like $15 at Kmart so I can live with that.

Lasts a long time, and smells great. Still a bit feminine to me though.

Very clean smell. A lot of my friends will ask to wear mine, actually.

Purchased this one on hype. Not overly impressed. Work scent for sure, almost black licorice? I dunno. Not really complimented at all, and kinda expensive.

Latitude Longitude by Nautica

Bought this early in high school, still have 3/4 bottle left. I'm 25 now. Didn't use this one much. Was a nice change of pace when I got it, but now it's more of just an air freshener for me.

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake

Hmmm this is a tough one for me. I bought this cologne strictly from hype. Cologne forums etc. Now this cologne does smell good, don't get me wrong, but there's no way it lives up to what everyone told me. Very much like aqua di gio. Haven't really worn this one much.

Acqua di Giò pour Homme by Giorgio Armani

This scent is ridiculously good. Although everyone and his brother has or does wear it, the ladies go crazy for it. We all want our individuality, of course, but I can't help but spray this one on here and there before going out. The ladies know it by name, and don't care if theres 10 other guys in the bar wearing the same thing, as long as they can smell it on you.
