    Bulgari Man by Bulgari

    Very impressive. While the top notes are a bit "look at me!" this scent dries down to something very subtle and enjoyable. Absolutely perfect for the office, or for any time when you want to smell good without particularly sticking out. It is indeed fresh and modern, but overall I think the drydown most importantly smells "clean." Not in a "soapy" sense, but more of something that's pure and clear, like the scent that lingers in the air the morning after a heavy snowfall. This is a great scent for smelling nice without smelling noticeable, and I think that's a valuable asset to have in one's wardrobe.

    Kiton Black by Kiton

    Fantastic. I have only worn this twice (just got a decant of it), and it is already on my wishlist. The first few seconds of the opening almost smell "bad" in a sense - to me, the leather comes through right away and is present throughout the duration of the scent, but WOW - what a development!

    John Varvatos has leather with a lot of unique spice and zest added into the mix. Kiton Black is a leathery scent with a sort of soft, sensual side, almost like a JV without the bite, like.. an "indoors" version of John Varvatos. I'd say it works perfectly for everyday wear, but still has enough of an intimate aspect to it to draw someone's attention in personal situations. It is simply unique - very well made and something that is going to be noticed and enjoyed.

    TBA by True Religion

    Just got a sample of this from a local True Religion outlet. I had smelled it briefly at a Nordstrom a few months prior, and it struck my interest enough to try and get a small decant to try it out. It's definitely a very nice, unique fragrance. It's aquatic, but it also has a citrusy floral sense to it... very similar to Bulgari Aqua, but with a bit more color and character, in my opinion. I am very seriously considering buying a full bottle, but I'll wait until I've had more exposure to it when Spring rolls around.

    If you want a light, aquatic-esque fragrance that smells particularly unique, definitely give it a try.
