MAST--ER--PIECE !
30 April 2007

Thallium by Jacques Evard

Pretty darn good, Long lasting too.
Reminds me a bit of Rochas Man.

Prada Amber pour Homme by Prada

Four words....

DIS-A-POINT-ING !

I guess it smells ok...but JEEZ, I was expecting much more than scented water.

Fleurs de Gardenia by Creed

FdG is a very nice and "pretty" fragrance.
I think it leans toward what some would consider a feminine scent but not too much so. I am instantly transferred to a sultry summer night at a bar on a beach wearing all white and drinking a cool Mojito with the wind slightly blowing....cool and breezy is where FdG takes me to.
Initially, the Orange and Gardenias dominate my nose...but after an hour I can begin to smell the sandalwood, vanilla and yes...the rose (which is listed as a top note)
I am definitely getting some of this.

Freshman by Truefitt & Hill

I totally agree with Wilson...I swapped for this blind and I LOVE it...I own both GIT and Chez Bond as well...All very similar scents with their "own" personality.

Kouros Fraîcheur by Yves Saint Laurent

Very Nice...It is Really a Kouros "Light" IMO.
Fresh, Clean and Dirty at the same time. I received no strange looks at work...1 compliment and a few smiles....YAY-YAH!

Feuille Verte by Creed

Reminds me of a "green" Acier Aluminum...I may be way off but again just my opinion...The dry down is where this one is at...superb!

Apparition Homme by Ungaro

Fresh and Clean...with a bit of pepperiness.
Good but not great...Lasts 4-6 hrs strong on me....then it begins a quick fade out...
26 April 2006

Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone

Long lasting...Sweet and woody...it reminds me of Sequoia...maybe a wee bit more sweetness/fruitiness to it....Very nice

Wood - Spices by Montale

Sweet and Woody scent, long lasting and VERY pleasant...by far my fave of the Montale line (of the many I've tried...not all)
09 March 2006

Green Valley by Creed

Reminiscent of Farenheit...but different (Better IMO) It starts out fresh and minty (like others have said) I feel the musky vanilla drydown mixed in with the green mint is what makes this a very different but enjoyable frag. I do wish it lasted a bit longer...But I get 5-6 good hrs out of it.

Visit by Azzaro

Just tested this for the first time today....Walked around the mall for 30 minutes and HAD TO HAVE THIS TODAY! Very good and very unexpected how great this scent is.

Kouros Cologne Sport by Yves Saint Laurent

Just got this one tonight....VERY nice...IMO, nothing like the original. This is more wearable and rather calming and pleasant.

Bleecker Street by Bond No. 9

This scent is another GREAT one from Bond No.9
This is so relaxing and great smelling...I put it at a close 2nd to New Haarlem as Far as Bond goes. The Drydown is spectacular! Starts off Green and ends up a Vanilla/Cinnamon/Woody scent...so clean and fresh smelling if that makes any sense.

Hermèssence Vétiver Tonka by Hermès

The BEST of the Hermessence line IMO. Very Clean and fresh. The Tonka and Hazelnut give it a slighty sweet tinge. One of my favorites.
23 November 2005

Jules by Christian Dior

In the same vein as Bel Ami....However, there is a sour fruity note that does not agree with me.
22 October 2005

Eau d'Hadrien by Annick Goutal

A great Citrus for 10 minutes...Then, on my skin, wet cardboard...not impressed.
22 October 2005

Central Park by Bond No. 9

Really NOT impressed with this one...A stale green scent...Blah!
22 October 2005

Anvers by Ulrich Lang

This stuff is GREAT....I do get a second-hand smoke sensation but...It is VERY pleasent ( I despise cigarrette smoke) Anyway, My wife REALLY digs this one.
22 October 2005

Dior Homme by Christian Dior

A softer more refined version, at least to my nose, of Hanae Mori Edt. I seem to be the only one who thinks so but ??? It is definitely worth a try. The drydown is very nice...don't wash it off...give it a good 15-20 minutes to make a decision....enjoy!

Sultan Safran / Safranier by Comptoir Sud Pacifique

smells like quorum...only more expensive
19 January 2005

Aqua Motu / Motu by Comptoir Sud Pacifique

Not good at all, if you want to irritate someone, give them this fragrance...headache in a bottle!
19 January 2005

La Chasse Aux Papillons by L'Artisan Parfumeur

Great scent, smells wonderful...It is for a woman but I am half tempted to wear, as I have sampled on my hand and it is sweet/floral and relaxing.
I am suprised I like it but I enjoy it.

Perry Ellis m by Perry Ellis

The most Under-rated scent on the market today.
The cinnamon really takes this one up a notch!
30 December 2004

Pal Zileri by Pal Zileri

I love it. Fresh and clean, somewhat fruity but not too sweet.
16 December 2004

Erolfa by Creed

Is a citrus scent however, I smell something I can't quite recognize...I'm not sure if it is intriguing or repulsive.
10 December 2004

Tabaróme Millésime by Creed

Does smell of an older more sophisticated person.
Confident and relaxed. I do like but not a favorite.
10 December 2004

Millésime Impérial by Creed

refreshing and clean...puts me in a good mood.
Stays on me for around 8-10 hrs.
10 December 2004

Himalaya by Creed

I really like Himalaya. It is strong yet in a sophisticated way. Great staying power. Scent begins to fade on me after 10-12 hrs.
10 December 2004

Original Vetiver by Creed

Smells like a citrus-grassy like fragrance.
I do not disike...However, I'm hesitant to recommend as of yet
