    Lynx Orient / Axe Orient by Axe / Lynx

    smells like rive gauche, which i like, but it too doesn't last long enough. Neutral for lack of longevity.

    Burberry Summer for Men by Burberry

    WAY TO SWEET for me. Very linear also. The citrus isn't bad. I love that it has pineapple, too bad they overdid it: TOO SWEET. Two sprays max makes it a pretty good option for summer. The base is a little more manly, but it's still unisex.

    Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana

    Stinky out of the bottle. Thankfully disappears in 30 minutes. Don't waste your money. There are much better fresh options out there. Cool Water, Acqua di Gio, Nautica Voyage, Chrome, Overpriced Cool Water (aka Green Irish Tweed), Burberry Summer.

    Vintage by John Varvatos

    It has the vanilla of Varvatos with pine and more leather + tobacco added. It's kind of like Polo. I think it's more appropriate for work than attracting women. Women prefer the original Varvatos. The tobacco and whiskey are very good. Definitely a powerful man's scent.

    John Varvatos by John Varvatos

    Smells almost exactly like Le Male without the toothpaste, and sells for half as much.
    The ladies love Le Male so they love this, and I'm happy about the toothpaste's absence.
    Thumbs up.

    Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

    Unholy immediately after spraying. You won't believe how bad it smells out of the bottle! It's a pepper/spice/roach spray bomb. This cologne makes first impressions seem trivial. A few minutes later it calms down to mild pepper, cinnamon and vanilla. My mother says it smells amazing. Women at the grocery store get closer for no apparent reason. I get more smiles than ever and generally feel like I'm being scoped out. I wear fragrances to attract women. This one is doing the trick big time.

    Le Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier

    Smells like John Varvatos by John Varvatos. It costs twice as much because of the reputation and the bottle. Varvatos has a classier scent without the toothpaste smell. Varvatos' bottle is a lot more stylish, and more masculine than opting for a male torso. Pay twice as much for Le Male if you're used to believing hype. Sample them both if you're smart. Nevertheless, I don't mind the Colgate, and only care about what women think about fragrances. The ladies love it, so it gets a positive.

    Fahrenheit by Christian Dior

    It doesn't get manlier than this. The top and middle of Opium is super manly but the bottom is an adrogynous creamy vanilla that makes girls' mouths water. Fahrenheit is manly throughout. It smells like wood and spices. Women love it and it lasts forever.
    You can spray twice, but make sure that one of those sprays will be covered by clothing. Making women cough or sneeze isn't sexy.

    Cool Water by Davidoff

    Don't listen to the anti-fresh scent fragrance snobs. Fresh scents serve a purpose and this one is great. It's popular for a reason. You smell really clean and still masculine with it. Check it out if you have been living under a rock.

    Burberry for Men by Burberry

    My love loves it. That's what matters. I wear scents for women, not myself.
    Still, it's too linear for me. I'm not against linear fragrances in general, but the consistent mint in this kills it for me. Longevity and sillage are phenomenal. It's very mature and sexy to women.

    Boucheron pour Homme by Boucheron

    Think of the most potent, cheap fragrance you've ever smelled. This is what Boucheron smells like for hours. It dries down into a more calm "baby powder" scent after about 8 hours - enough time to find yourself completely alone. This stinker can knock people into and out of comas.

    212 Men by Carolina Herrera

    My father said it smells like urine. It does. Urine on grass and flowers. Very green (and very yellow).
