Desire for a Man by Alfred Dunhill

I cannot get enough of this stuff. Desire is the best cologne I have smelled recently. I am in love with a cologne. Can't wait to get some.
Being a love it or hate it, I love it!

Hugo by Hugo Boss

I have a small bottle of Hugo, and can't even get myself to wear it. I loved the smell when I first had this cologne. Maybe 8-10 years ago, and being only 12 years of age. Today, I can't stand the smell, and I most likely wont be caught wearing it again.

Curve for Men by Liz Claiborne

I bought a 2.5 oz. bottle for around $25. OK deal I guess. I use Curve as an anytime cologne. And im not shy with it. Meaning im not worried about conserving it.
Curve makes an excellent summer cologne in my opinion. Since its light, although has good staying power on my skin. Just not very potent like I like my colognes.
Curve would be a great gift if you can't decide what to get. For people 25 and under.

Vera Wang for Men by Vera Wang

The only thing I dont like about Vera Wang, is it's lasting power. I wish it was a little more potent, too.
Other than that, Vera Wang is a very good fragrance, IMO. Not great, but almost. I would describe it as a crisp woody fragrance at first. Then building up to something very complex. Good stuff, and I recommend it.

Fahrenheit by Christian Dior

I love Fahrenheit. I bought my first bottle like 4 days ago. I am sure I have smelled Fahrenheit before, I just didn't know what it was.
It is one of those love it or hate it colognes. I love it. And I recommend it to people of almost all ages. Once you smell it somewhere, you instantly know what it is.

Boss in Motion by Hugo Boss

I like this cologne personally. And it gets a few compliments here and there.
Vanilla, orange-sicle type smell for me. In a very nice way. Its one of the smells that is easily forgotten about. But when smelled again, you remember what you have been missing.
For example, I was thinking about getting rid of my bottle with the newest additions to my collection. But today I smelled it again, and its unlike any other cologne I have.

Nautica Competition (new) by Nautica

I got this cologne as a gift. Good thing I did, because I wouldn't pay for this cologne. Very sporty, citrus maybe sweet lime? smell. There isn't anything about this cologne I dislike. It has given me a headache or two before, though. Duration is ok, 5-6 hours for me.

Nobile by Gucci

I completely agree that Gucci Nobile is a direct relative of Drakkar Noir. Very good fragrance, just not for me (only 21). I might wear this stuff if I was say 30 or older, but it still smells good to me. I have a completely full 4 oz. bottle that I will never use.

Joop! Homme by Joop!

Joop! Homme, to me, is one of those Wow! fragrances. Wow, because I say to myself, Wow!, why don't more people like this cologne?. And Wow!, how did someone ever come up with this concoction?
I first smelled Joop! around 2002. It took me 2-3 smells before I caught on. But when I caught on, I became more addicted to this cologne than I had for any cologne before it! I couldn't get enough of it and I wore it practically everywhere. Many compliments from wearing it. But this bottle wasn't mine.
After getting more serious about cologne, and 3+ years, I came back to my past favorite, Joop!. I ended up getting a 2.5 oz. bottle for around $35. Not bad I guess.
The funny part is, I have yet to wear it again. It's like, I like the cologne so much, I dont want to wear it. I just want it to stay on my dresser forever or something, I dont know.
In about a month, when school starts, I will start wearing it again. I just can't get enough of it.
A warning though (as has been said over and again)go easy with Joop!. I honestly only used like 1 spray. 2 at the most. This is the only cologne that I have never sprayed directly on my neck. I spray it on my palms then apply.
