Rose Poivrée by Different Company

If you have ever asked yourself what the smell of rose urine would be, look no further.

parfums*PARFUMS Series 3 Incense: Zagorsk by Comme des Garçons

If your girlfriend ever tells you that her fantasy is to have sex in an Eastern Orthodox church (or with an Eastern Orthodox priest), I would suggest you respect the church and instead reach for a bottle of Zagorsk.
Mount Athos would have been an equally suitable name.

Eau de Gingembre by Roger & Gallet

Very much in the tradition of Mugler Cologne.
Fresh & clean - great for a hot and humid day.

Brit for Men by Burberry

I don't think so - irritating sweetness & too feminine.

L'Eau de L'Artisan by L'Artisan Parfumeur

Smells very good and fresh, but I could not help thinking that if I walked past someone who was facing the other direction, that they would think a woman had walked past. As a male, it's not really the impression I want to leave behind.

Rochas Man by Rochas

The sales person told me that the department store staff call this "sex in a bottle" - given my track record with women, this would also make it "miracle in a bottle".
Sadly, there was no miracle.
While I think the chocolate/coffee concept is clever and sounds good on paper (as with A*Men), I have decided I will consume them rather than try to smell like them.

Individuel by Mont Blanc

Just when I thought we were safe from Joop!
abuse, out comes Individuel.
Like Joop! Homme, Individuel users should be licensed with the police.

Joop! Homme by Joop!

I was once trapped in a car with one of my Greek mates who enjoyed the top notes of Joop!
To satisfy this craving he would respray every 30 minutes.
It's been over 5 years since that fateful night and I have not recovered.
It is my opinion that application of Joop! should require a license.

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

One squirt on the arm of A*Men was enough to give me that old feeling... the feeling of wanting to gnaw off my own arm (a feeling usually involving alcohol, sex, a really fat naked chick using my arm as a pillow and my need to escape before she wakes and remembers what I look like).
Perhaps it should be called "Scary Deja Vu".

Esencia Loewe by Loewe

Truly excellent evening fragrance - unique.
Slow users beware! Both my bottles suffered from rapid evaporation loss.

My favourite
