Tam Dao by Diptyque

It is really really good I just hoped it stayed a bit longer on the skin...

Visit by Azzaro

Good but a little too familiar...! If you mix Gucci Rush and Bulgari Homme you might get something like this....

Bulgari Black by Bulgari

Resins,leathers and animals rounded by smoked tea, some herbs and bergamot.How could I not like this since it was created by my favourite perfumer Annick Menardo.Jazzy...

Bulgari pour Homme by Bulgari

I used to wear it like mad about 6-7 years ago and so did my girlfriend at the time...It is a unique dry scent and at the same time has a synthetical-medicinal quality about it...But the drydown is quite watery fading into some type of light musk woody accord...Fetishy...

Touch for Men by Burberry

The only fragrance I know that has violet and I don't hate...I used to wear it a couple of years ago but I must admitt didn't get very good comments when I was wearing it...You could say it's a much lighter version of Fahrenheit...lightly musky

Life Essence by Fendi

Very typical of the time it was launched, aquatic, clean,citrusy...BUT when the base middle notes begin to develop you have a warm almost oriental drydown!!Unpredictable..

Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin by Lolita Lempicka

Annick Menardo is definitely my ultimately favourite perfumer with her "hypnotic poison" masterpiece...She also created this one which happens to be a very familiar smell...It reminds me of the caraway cookies my grandmother used to make...It can be a bit cloying if you apply too much but that's only due to the violet....(why would you ruin such a beautiful composition by using the most boring ingredient in perfumery ie.violet!!!). It would have been the best without it but still Is really good!!!(I much prefer it to Rochas Man)....

Versace Man by Versace

A sweet spicy but above all elegant composition. I particularly like the saffron note in it! However the base accords are a bit flat and that's where this perfume is lacking!!!Pity because this is very close to being perfect...

Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc by Bulgari

Very innocent,clean and a little boring! Not bad for a casual Sunday afternoon...

Cacharel Pour L'Homme by Cacharel

It's soooo eighties!!! Woodsy,spicy with a light floral heart!!They don't make perfumes like this anymore...

Déclaration by Cartier

Beautiful, elegant and complex...It sums up the meaning of good taste!

Sentiment for Men by Escada

I thought the nineties was over what is this average aqua-scent doing now??? Oh please...

Heliotrope by Etro

Very elegant and original! Bittersweet!!
Similar accord to Hypnotic poison an all time favourite for me...Recommended if u want to smell different...

Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

Very nice I adore the cumin note in it...Quite original for these days...
28 December 2003

Rush for Men by Gucci

It is a very simple scent...Sandalwood,Cedarwood and Incense harmonising very quietly...That's good enough for me...
28 December 2003

Jungle pour Homme by Kenzo

Bittersweet, different and aggresive...LOVELY ...
28 December 2003

Sculpture Homme by Nikos

Horrid, plastic and synthetic...
28 December 2003

Minotaure by Paloma Picasso

Very typical of its time...However I still like the leather note in the base, I only wish there wasn't so much orange and tangerine in the top...
28 December 2003

Laguna Homme by Salvador Dali

I usually go for heavy orientals so this is an exception to my perfume collection since it is exceptionally well blended...It smells so much like the female version that was launched in the early nineties which I am very glad about...It is a very uplifting scent (also very similar to DIESEL FEMININE)...

Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme by Salvatore Ferragamo

When I first smelt it I fell in love with it but a few months later I couldn't stand it anymore...It would give me such a bad headache...And eventhough I was trying to force myself to like it I ended up giving it to a friend with great relief....Too sweet and very very dense....

Yohji Homme by Yohji Yamamoto

Apparently many favourite ingredients (ie.liquorice,rum etc.) but a very bland result (I ended up giving it away to a friend)!
28 December 2003

Rochas Man by Rochas

When I first tried it I thought it was far too sweet with not enough spice in it. I ended up buying it since I love vanilla scents. A couple of months down the line I got a bit fed up with it since everybody wears it these days!The scent itself is nice very close to being perfect but something seems to be missing that ruins everything!!! If it wasn't for that mocca in the base u wouldn't be able to distinguish it from Le Male (JPG).I'd personally prefer something more individual...
