Metal Jeans Men by Versace

I love the watery top note! It's so refreshing and fruity. The grapefruit and watermelon note is really pleasing and sweet, however like most citrusy/light fragrances, the longevity is a problem. Otherwise, if you enjoy light and casual fragrance that won't disturb anyone, I recommend Metal Jeans by Versace! PS: Truthfully, the scent does not match it's name..It's more like "Ballad Jeans" than Metal!

Jeans Couture Man by Versace

The bottle and the juice does not really match! From the look of the bottle, you would expect something really loud and heavy, but the actual fragrance is ligt mossy green scent. The longevity is a bit of a problem, I cannot detect it within few minutes...The bottle will bring some interesting sparkle to your collection though.

cK one Summer by Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein seems to like 'organge' notes in his fragrances these days. CK One summer 2005 also has the orange note that is found in Crave. I personally don't mind this although many seem to dislike Crave. In comparison CK One Summer is fruiter and more floral than Crave and I guess it will be great on a hot summer day.

Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin by Lolita Lempicka

I finally got this fragrance and I've been getting a number of interesting comments from people. I liked it but wasn't too sure before until recently the weather got cold here in Australia and I happend to test it out on my skin and it was much better this time. It's definately sweet and heady which makes it perfect for the colder seasons. Some would argue it' perhaps too 'feminine' and yes I did get numerous comments about this scent being a bit 'girly.' A friend of mine shouted 'someone smells like a chick!" and recently someone else said 'something smells nice...it smells like the cosmetics sectin at David Jones(Australian department store)" Dispite these comments I still personally like it as this is actually marketed towards men and gender of a smell is only an idea created by the marketing people...

Marilyn Blue by Andy Warhol

This perfume makes a great collection item as it is like owning a piece of art created by Andy Warhol. What's interesting is, this smells really really similar to Flower by Kenzo! It's really powdery and floral.

Blu pour Homme by Bulgari

Blv is such a contrasting scent as Bvlgari markets it as. It is harden to define whether this is a summer or a winter scent as it happens to be both cold and warm at the same time. It's really unique due to its ginger note which surprisingly gives a great spice to this fragrance making it more attractive. I personally love the dry down which reminds you of a luxury soap. It sure smells clean!

L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme by Kenzo

This is my all time favourite fragrance. I just cannot get bored of this scent. L'eau Par just simply awakens my senses and rejuvinates me. I love the yuzu top note that really reminds me of a fresh lemonade and it's just so heavenly. I use everything from L'eau Par range and there is nothing more refreshing than using the L'eau Par shower gel every morning. I hope this wonderful fragrance will stand the test of time.

Paris Hilton for Men by Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton for men...Firstly it definately hits the target market. The scent is light and fruity making it perfect for the younger audience. I personally love it as I'm young but it feels that many are resisiting this simply because it's "Paris Hilton" and just the celebrity endorsed product creates a notion of embarrassment. Yet, if you enjoy light and fruity scents that are never so offensive, eg Reaction by Kenneth Cole and L'eau Par by Kenzo, the chances are you will love this cologne too.

Burberry for Men by Burberry

I really love the top note, it's very refreshing, also sweet but minty and cool scent:) It also lasts fairly long. It's such a casual scent that you would want to wear all the time. Not heavy either~!

Joop! Homme by Joop!

How could people be saying this fragrance is sweet?? It was soooooo HEAVY!
It's like feminine fragrance trying to be masculine, Flower with tobacco and other overpowering strong scents. It wasn't so pleasant

It's quite fresh and also slightly spicy.

Quite spicy... Smelt quite like ginger..

Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren

Refreshing aquatic scent that is still mascular without being overpowering and strong.
Top note has some melon like smell and it also lasts quite long.
Type of scent that shouldn't disturb anyone. It's still subtle enough :)

Baby Blue Jeans by Versace

Cute citrus fragrance that smells so mild.
It's quite zesty but so tender. Great for waking your senses up:)

Blue Jeans by Versace

Top note is very alerting. It's lemon-lime like at the start, however as the time goes by you will start to semll the beautiful smooth vanilla.
This fragrance is quite strong and you don't need much on. The base note is wonderful if you love Musk and Vanilla~
