    Nicole Miller for Men by Nicole Miller

    Reminds me Nautica Oceans, but much more loud and vulgar... I really don't believe that NMM is a masculine scent, it is too much sweet to be a masculine fragrance.

    Blue Jeans by Versace

    At the start is a blast of citrus, and I detect the Nutmeg from the start too, that reminds me Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur a lot, after one hour or less , becames sweet , and sweet , in a feminine way ... I just can't wear it , it's too sweet and loud for me ... I think it's a little bit vulgar too.
    Versace Black Jeans continues to be my favorite.

    Live Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent

    Amazing summer scent, I like to spray 2 times in the same spot in the skin, because the citrus notes became heavy and acid, that reminds me Ungaro I , which I love it. And the drydown is beautiful. One of my top 10.
    Thumbs up for YSL !

    Homme Nature by Yves Rocher

    Fresh green crispy and minty, I really don't understand why many negative ratings. Does not smell like many synthetic aquatics out there, the notes are all natural and well projected, has good longevity, and the drydown is amazing. I like to wear it in summer rainny days.
    Thumbs way Up !

    Safari for Men by Ralph Lauren

    For years I smell RL Safari on my brother any time he goes off , for playing saxophone in his jazz band. For the first time I smell it , it really don't take my attention , but a few days ago I gave it a try , and I changed my mind.

    Safari is a sharp leathery green and sophisticated fragrance, I smell the same citrus note of Ungaro III in the background , and the same dark feeling. The same time it is sensual and exotic. Women love it !

    One of the best of all times ! In my opinion =)

    Kenzo pour Homme by Kenzo

    This is my first Kenzo , and I just fell in love ... KPH is sophisticated , dry , fresh and unique. Placing my top 5 ranking.
    There is something in the background that reminds me Cacharel Pour homme , and I love it !
    Thumbs Up for Kenzo !!!

    Kiss Him by KISS

    Surprisingly good ! Despite being a big fan of KISS , at beginning I was skeptical , you know , something like... everyone that has a name in the show business can make loads of money in several business sectors , just carrying the name, and people buy it.

    But this fragrance is really good.... starts sweet with some dark thing going in the background , after one hour takes place a leathery base , kinda synthetic , but does not hurt my nose. It's a OK fragrance , nothing outstanding , but it's good.

    Good job Gene Simmons !

    Deseo for Men by Jennifer Lopez

    Starts with a sweet fruity opening , and to me is very similar to Kenneth Cole ‘Reaction’ with some tobacco in the background (very subtle) , but after 1 hour takes place a harsh citrus. After this I give it up!
    It’s highly synthetic … sorry J. Lo

    M by Ted Baker

    Ted Baker M has a citrus opening that is strong, and for my nose is aggressively synthetic , and reminds me Polo Blue (that I don’t like it too) but after a couple of minutes takes place a powdery creamy base , that in minutes disappear.
    The drydown is good, reminds me a weak YSL M7 with some chocolate , but disappears so fast , and the opening is strong and cheap to my nose.

    I tried to like it , really… but it’s like love , you don’t need to push it , it just happens … I’m sorry Ted Baker M.

    Terre d'Hermès by Hermès

    Amazing ! One of my top 5. Never smelled something like this before , brings to my mind the fresh air after a summer rain, and the orange note … wow … sometimes I wish to drink it… hahahah.
    Got a lot of compliments wearing this, especially from women.
    TdH is Sublime !

    M7 by Yves Saint Laurent

    At start there is a soda vibe in it , like Versace Black Jeans , but is more citrusy and warm , and as many said here , like a cherry soda. I believe that because of the agarwood in the middle notes gives M7 a harshness , that to me is very sensual , and in some way reminds me the blast opening from Versace Black Jeans. Wow , its just beatiful.
    And the drydown to me is very similar to Gucci Envy Pour Homme. I was willing to buy another GEPH , but I found a substitute , and in my opinion is way better than GEPH , and longevity is great too !
    A winner.
    Thumbs up !!!

    Paul Smith for Men by Paul Smith

    A good fragrance , fresh and crispy.
    As many mentioned about similarities to Dior Fahrenheit , in my view PSMen is more similar to Lucky #6 , but less sweet. Fahrenheit is way way way complex and deeper than PSMen.
    If you will buy it only because of the comparisons about Fahrenheit , and you love Fahrenheit. Don't buy it !!!
    Without any comparisons PSMen is a good fragrance.

    Sung Homme by Alfred Sung

    YSL Kouros with tobacco notes in the background , but with its own personality , very pleasant.
    If you like YSL Kouros , try this juice.
    Thumbs Up for Alfred Sung !

    Witness by Jacques Bogart

    The opening reminds me Oscar De La Renta 'Pour Lui' but less agressive with the cinnamon in evidence , giving a more sophisticated touch to JB 'Witness'. The drydown is very intriguing , similar to Chanel 'Antaeus Pour Homme'.
    2 of the best fragrances in just one bottle.
    I completely agree with foetidus when he said:
    it is rich and intriguing enough to keep me sniffing almost compulsively for a long, long time, because it lasts for hours. ... and I'm here writing this down and sniffing compulsively this precious gem !

    Ungaro I by Ungaro

    Amazing !!!
    Reminds me a softer Terre D'Hermes combined with the screaming opening of Versace Black Jeans , but at the same time a unique scent... beautiful !
    One of mine top 5.
    So sad that is discontinued !

    TWO THUMBS UP !!!

    Bulgari pour Homme by Bulgari

    Smells so good !
    This is a close to skin fragrance , for intimate moments. Not to be over-applied trying to be noticed by the crowd.
    Thumbs Up !!!

    Amor pour Homme Tentation by Cacharel

    I think CPHT is too feminine , and too sweet to be a masculine fragance , but it's nice , and the drydown is better yet. Reminds me D&G pour Homme.
    But it's not for me.

    Euphoria Men Intense by Calvin Klein

    Starts with a strong fruity opening , and the drydown is even more sweeter.
    If you want to smell like a strawberry juice , ok.
    Not my kind of scent.

    Burberry the Beat for Men by Burberry

    My first impression was that it's a too alcoholic-peppery strong opening. And 1 hour before stays
    linear and synthetic.

    Perry Ellis for Men (new) by Perry Ellis

    I'm impressed with the PEFM , because I use to avoid any fragrance that contains vanilla , but in this combination of notes , vanilla was well blended , very subtle.
    Taking place in one of my favorites in top 10.
    Big Thumbs UP !!!
