Magie Noire by Lancôme
A riveting/sensual/mysterious/melancholy fragrance. A true oriental scent. Think sandalwood/incense/musk/civet with the allure of deep rose
thrown in. This is an intense fragrance and not for the faint of heart. None of that lame fruit salad-ozonic-fresh-floral-air freshener stuff. This is fragrance with a capital F. A scent befitting a femme fatale.

Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene
A stunning green/spicy chypre that highlights an incredible galbanum/violet/sage combination drying down to a beautiful woody/rooty base of cedar/oakmoss/vetiver. Excellent sillage! This scent is so distinct, you won't mistake it for anything else. Ideally suited for fall/winter. This is a classic and worth a try.

M7 by Yves Saint Laurent
This scent is not for the faint of heart. Intense/deep and dark, this oozes in-your face masculinity.
Dramatic sillage and stays on your skin for a very long time. This is agarwood that has the wallop of a baseball bat.
If you want it safe/clean (dare I say boring), don't get this. If you want to stand out, be different, be a rebel --
this one's for you.

Bigarade Concentrée by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle
This is possibly Jean-Claude Ellena at his best on men's cologne. A trail-blazer, iconic, different, unique among citrus scents -- this is bitter orange at its superb best. A dialectic of a fragrance, its hesperidic top notes express an icy freshness unlike any other, tempered by a touch of rose -- which dries down to a warm base of sumptious cedar and hay. A class act. C'est un parfum tres soigne!

L'Eau de L'Artisan by L'Artisan Parfumeur
A very grassy, fresh, summery scent. Reminds me of Eau de Christian Tortu. Beautiful indeed! A very unique green scent that's not overwhelming. The sillage is just perfect. Bravo!
