this is the one, the one cologne that smells fresh and inviting and does not give me a migraine, if your looking for a simple but great cologne that is non offensive then this is it. a must sample.
1.projection = good
2.versatility = excellent non offensive
3.lasts 8-10hrs on me
4. has become my signature scent.
5.would recommend to a friend.
6.good for anytime wear... because it's non offensive.
7.very clean smelling....oh did i mention non offensive.

Dempsey II by Patrick Dempsey

great scent. went fast real fast for $35.00 a bottle a little too fast. the one place i see this being acceptable would be prior to going to bed with your spouse.... (ya know what i mean).....because the scent is awesome and not over bearing and will not keep you awake because it fades away fast i got like maybe 2 hours with this one and it was not a spray it was a small vial sample so i actually had opened access to the juice and was able to put alot on but it just did not last.

Unscripted by Patrick Dempsey

A*Men Pure Malt by Thierry Mugler

gave me a headache just like angel man =(

i wish mugller would get that headache inducing chemical out of his colognes, because all of them give me a headache.

but i really like his concepts of flavors but something is giving me a headache from all his colognes. not sure if it is in the alcohol he uses or what.

Very Sexy for Him by Victoria's Secret

I bought the small bottle, i wish i would have bought the large bottle now. I will be using this often, very masculine and clean, by no means overpowering. crisp and smooth at the same time, seems good for all seasons. a lot of colognes give me a headache but this one does not seem to be in that category.

I would recommend this to a friend. just not all of them.lol

reapplying may be necessary if you want it to last all day, but to me that's ok i would rather do that instead of offending everyone around me all day long.

not only good for all seasons but for any time of day.

reminded me of my grandmother.

Rochas Man by Rochas

Why did i wait so long to get this one. all i can say i smooth and edible like the foam at the top of a capuccino .

The top notes would be like hot cappucino and the dry down like an iced cappucino, or as others have said like cotton candy.

this will be my winter fragrance, it has the angel man,burberry london feel but a lot smoother,

i will be giving my angel man sample away to a friend and moving my burberry london back toward the rear of my shelf i have found a better cologne.

(i may wear the burberry once in a while lol)

Mugler Cologne by Thierry Mugler

love the top notes,

hate the dry down, the dry down is missing depth its got a stale thin smell to it,

if it would maintain the top notes i would change my rating but i just cant get over the thin stale dry down,

the dry down is like flat 7 up or flat sprite. that's the only real way i can think to describe it.

Acqua di Giò pour Homme by Giorgio Armani

it seems as if every time i pass someone at work or at the store all i can smell is the marine or acqua note,

i hate to give this a bad review because it is a great fragrance, but everyone is wearing it, or something copied from it.

personally i would rather wear something that is different, it is a shame that this has been copied so many times.

if it was an expensive creed cologne i would save up and buy it, just for the fact that not every one and their brother would have it.

it's just over worn, but a great fragrance. once my bottle is gone i will not purchase another. i may even give whats left to a friend.

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

I tried to like this one but every time i did i got a headache, i wanted to like this one. i have smelled the female version walking by people at work it could be used by men its a lot less offensive. but myself i would rather use rochas man it is a lot smoother and less offensive gourmand.

i gave it a thumbs down due to the headaches i would not wear something that gives other people around me the same results.

i really wanted to like this one but it just did not happen.

i would love to see them refine it into something smoother or make an angel man no.2 if ya know what i mean.

Intuition for Men by Estée Lauder

this is a nice smelling cologne for men, my wife enjoys it and she is very picky due to the fact she suffers from migraines and i got to be careful of what i wear.

it is a lite clean smelling cologne, i don't get any musk which is cool because all my other colognes have musk and they all begin to smell the same after a while but this one stays unique.

yes it could be used on male or female but so could creed green irish tweed and no one seems to complain about that.

if your looking to break away into something unique and different that women due seem to enjoy this is it.

i bought it due to a recommendation from the girl behind the store counter and i have no regrets. and i would definetly recommend it to a friend.

2 thumbs up!!!!!!

Le Mâle by Jean Paul Gaultier

gives me a headache, i tried it twice and both times it gave me a headache.

the second time i even sprayed it on a q-tip and lightly put it on my neck and one wrist, i went very lightly and it still gave me a headache.

i wish it did not do this to me because it is liked well among the ladies but it is a no go for me. =(

i hear it is made with a lot of synthetics maybe that is why it gives me a headache, i'm not sure.
