Fragrance Reviews by benb

I had high hopes on this one. But this one had some strange development on my skin. I am not sure if this one suits me. I think the alcohol top note took over some how. It didnt really impress me that much. But I am not sure if that has to do with my skinchemistry or something else. I have to get back on this one. For now I give it a neutral.
benb

I must strongly disagree with MMM. On me this cologne had a wonderful smell. Especially in the drydown. A weaker version of Antaeus if you ask me. The topnotes might not be that impressive. But as I said on my skin the drydown definetely made up for that little error. Scents with tobacco and coffe has always suited my chemistry. So its no wonder this one suits me. I might buy a bottle of it later this year. Right now I feel the weather is to hot for it. This one is almost as good as Trussardi Uomo who so far has been one of my favourites. Thumbs up from me.
benb

I think that some of reviewers are a little bit unfare to this one. To me this smells quite lovely. Even though it isnt the most masculine scent I have smelled so far. And not very strong. This could most certainly use an extreme version if you ask me.
benb

LOVELY. The most unique scent i know to this date.
benb

This one is a very good scent. It manage to be both fresh and sweet at the same time. Just like Voleur de Roses - though VDR wins me over any time. Perfect for office and casual use. The only thing I really have a problem with is the popularity. To many people use it. Therfore I rather spend my hardearned cash on VDR instead. Thumbs up though.
benb

Generic, syntetic, blää.
benb

I take back my neutral comment that I did on this one earlier. I tried a sample of it this weekend and this is ELEGANT SIMPLICITY IN A BOTTLE. Enough said.
benb

I used this one many years ago and I remember liking it. Since I havent tried it for a long time I am not sure of how it smelled - but I definitely know I liked it. It was a woody-oriental scent and I have a vague memory that it reminded me of Jazz for some odd reason. Please correct me if I am wrong.
benb

This one is in my opinion a little bit reminicing of Eau d'Hermes. This one is slightly stronger though. Powdery and very manly and with something sweet in it. If I wasnt such a snob I would by it more often. But it doesnt feel fun to do so since everybody is using it. So I use Eau d'Hermes instead.
benb

I must admit that I have never tried or owned this one. But if it is as good and interesting as the film - which I saw a few days ago. It must be a masterpiece. I appologice for doing this but I would like to add to my review of Georges Sand. And for some reason I cant do a second review of it. I would just like to say that I think that scent would suit Dr Hannibal Lector to a perfection. It is just up his alley. That scent is supposed to be for a provocateur. I guess you could describe him like that.
benb

This one has a very fresh and interesting scent. I have a slight difficulty sorting out the different ingredients. I have never been very good at that anyway. But I think this one has good top and heartnotes and then it becomes a little week at the end. It could be that I had allready tried several others that day and my nose could not register more. This is a elegant and fresh scent. I might try this one later. For now I give it a thumbs up.
benb

Tried this one a few days ago. It was very Gaultier. A very well structured scent that for some reason reminds me of Joop at the end. Just more tasteful. Must be the orangeblossom. I think both of them has that ingredients. Good sillage and strengt. I might take it up later. Thumbs up.
benb

I have just bought this one. It is a very naturell smelling scent. The bottle is one of the most beautiful ones that I have seen. I really appriciate this one. Especially the wonderful tobacco drydown. As always I do think it could be a little stronger. I recommend it anyway. It is a good scent.
benb

Classic and elegant. Not very original but good nontheless. Considering all the ingredients in this one it should have better strengt. Maybe its my skinchemistry who is the problem. If you want a alternative to allure, pour une homme and the likes of them use this one. And dont be afraid of overspraying. It is needed. Neutral due to the lack of strength.
benb

Fresh and with a certain oomph. But it could definetly use a extreme version. It is a tad bit week if you ask me. Very good though and well made. Reminds me of some other scent which I can't place at the moment. Thumbs up anyway with a reservation due to the lack of strength.
benb

I have done a review of this one before and I might have been a bit unfare to it. It is not as bad as I said. Maybe it could be a hint stronger. But essentially it is really a good example of elegant simplicity.
benb

I once smelled this one on a paper strip I believe. I can't distinctly remember what it smelled like, but I have a vague memory of it resembling Baldessarini Concentree. And that one is one of my absolute favourites. If possible I would like to revisit this one again someday. It was quite unisex with lots of woods in it. For now I am going to give it a thumbs up.
benb

I have reviewed this before and gave it a thumbs up. I am going to do that again. I was somewhat mellow the last time. Now I have really started to appreciate it more and more. It is a great scent. Especially for special occassions. Absolutely wonderful.
benb

I have reviewed this one before. I think it is well made and inventive. But in my opionion it disappears to quickly on the skin. It is quite simple not strong enough. This one should really have a extreme version. For something along the same line. Try my recent nr 1 favourite classic Eau de Hermes. Much better sillage and stronger. In my opinion just as inventive and a great scent. I give this one a neutral because of the bad strength and sillage.
benb

I tried this one a while ago and it was a very masculine unisex. No man needs to feel awkward about using this one. I most definetly thinking about buying it in the future. Unfortunately you cant get hold of The Elixir or the perfume in Sweden. If you could. That would be my preferred choise. Recommended if you can afford it.
benb

As I can remember I had a slight problem with the somewhat aquatic note in this one. I liked the raspberry note which I think was in the topnote. Overall. This is a well made scent. But since I as I said have a problem with the aquatic note in the drydown I give this one a neutral rating.
benb

I tried this a few days ago. It was an interesting scent. Not the best I have ever smelled - but it was interesting enough to try again and maybe buy later on. I recommend you try it. Thumbs up for now.
benb

I tried this one a few days ago along with some others. This one was really interesting. A very different and very masculine scent. I might take this one up later and try it as an experiment. It is both smokey and has an aroma of dirt. I dont know if it is very wearable. That is the only downside to it. But since it is very different I will give it a thumbs up anyway.
benb

I tried this one a few days ago. At first I wasnt that impressed but a few hours later when I was on my way home I felt a lovely scent surrounding me. I first wondered what it was since I had tried several scents that day but then I remembered I had sprayed some Dzing on that hand. It is a very different, alluring and somewhat ambigous scent. Can definitely recommend it. It is one of the best in its genre. Thumbs up.
benb

I havent tried this one in years. But as I recall I have a little bit of a mixed emotions on this one. It is in my opinion not in any way a bad scent. But it was in some way a little bit mellow and not as strong as it could have been. A tad bit to herbal for me. For now I give it a neutral.
benb

This is one of those scents I wouldnt mind making myself reaquainted with. It was never my favourite. But there was something in the drydown. Probably the tonka that I really appreciated. It is not a masterpiece, but it definetly deserves a thumbs up and I definetly recommend that you try it.
benb

When they put a concentrée version of this one on the market I would by it for sure. It is a very good scent with a very nice whisky twist in the base that I love. But it is to week. Because of that weakness I give it a neutral for now.
benb

This one and Bulgari Black is the two perfumes from Bulgari that I like the best. This is an excellent daytime office scent. Especially if you are not the daring type or if you just like classic fresh scents that doesnt owerpower to much. Are seriously thinking of making Bulgari Black my nr 1 scent for special occassions. Anyway thumbs up for pour Homme Extreme.
benb

I think this is the one I should be rewieving. This is a good cologne if you are not afraid of strong scents. It has great sillage and last a long time. Best for winter. Dont overspray. I have been around people who has oversprayed this one and it was not fun. Try it anyway. It is not a masterpiece but quite allright if you want to get noticed. Thumbs up.
benb

Rocabar is a lovely oriental. I have only tried it on my hand a long time ago. In those days I felt it was a little strong. Maybe I test it a litte later on. But Hermes have easily become my nr1 favourite perfumehouse. I have now decided to jump between Terre d'Hermes and Eau d'Hermes. Terre as my everyday scent and Eau d'Hermes for special occassions. They are really masterpieces both of them. Real gems. And that is coming from a perfectionist who has been looking for the perfect scent for years. Equipage and Bel Ami are really good and wellmade scents but doesnt stand a chanse against Terre d'Hermes and Eau d'Hermes. Both of them screams elegant simplicity with an extra twist that as I said makes them into masterpieces. But since I was to review Rocabar I can only add that it is a lovely scent who deserves a thumbs up.
benb

This is the female scent I most enjoy feeling on a woman. It is extremly sensual, luxurious and enjoyable. It really gives the impression that it is a dangerous and mysterious, interesting woman who is wearing it. For me it is too feminine for a man to wear. None the less. Ten thumbs up.
benb

I tried this the other day and the topnotes were quite allright as well as the middlenotes but the drydown took some feminine turn at the end. But then again. It is a female scent. So far I am neutral on this one.
benb

I know this is a classic and it is probably because it is a female scent but this one doesnt mix well with my
skinchemistry. Sorry. Thumbs down.
benb

This is one of the very few female scents I would have no problem wearing myself without feeling the least feminine. I was at a store the other day and tried it on my hand. Its topnotes were quite masculine and the more feminine middlenotes mellted very quickly together with the very masculine base on my skin. Thumbs up.
benb

Heureka! I have after many years of looking found my holy grail scent that I will make my Signature Scent. It is both complex and simple at the same time. I love the bottle and the name. Naturally I think it is a lovely scent. Both Intense and discreet, complex and simple at the same time. It also last long on me. I really dont know what would be wrong with this one. It is relatively easy to get hold of if you know where to look for it - but definetely not something that everyone else is wearing. The cummin is well done. It doesnt disturbe me at all and it gives it charachter. It also prevents the scent from becoming to conservative. At the same time noone can call it a Hippy Liberal kind of scent either. You can wear it at all occasions. Both at work and at home and at partys. If I dont find anything I like better - this might be my last review. But then you never know do you. I might review other scents just for the fun of it. But I want the world to know it is this scent who is my nr 1. Ten thumbs up.
benb

I tested this one today. I think it is a fairly descent scent. I could definetely see myself wearing thisone on time or another.The bottle is OK. But as the horrible scentsnob I am I would like to have a better name for it. Eau de Ravageur or something like that. Thumbs up anyway.
benb

Since I bought this one I have changed my mind about it. The topnotes are great but then it waters down to a mellow boring green fragrance. I change to neutral on this one.
benb

Tried this one a few days ago. And it definitely had a certain something that I didnt notice before when I had tried it. It might be the strong rose note. Scents with rose or tobacco are the ones that works best for me. A mixture of those two notes would be heaven. Anyway I might revisit this one sometime in the future. For now it is thumbs up.

I am a bit split about this. The topnote is really great. The middlenote so so. And for some reason the drydown reminds me to much of Arpege Homme to be really impressive and new. As a whole not a bad scent. But it also doesn't develop very much on my skin. This one should be stronger if you ask me. I might revalue this later but for now I am neutral about it.
benb

Not bad at all. I used this a few years ago. And got tired of it. I tried it today on my hand. It is not my favourite in this category. But the cognac note gives it a certain something. I might take this one up later. For now it is definetly a thumbs up from me.
benb.

Definitely a power scent. A real winner. But I really dont remember it this way from when I was young. Maybe I used the After Shave back then since it was cheaper. It is any way a great scent. Not far from my nr 1 favourite Antaeus.
benb

This one is quite allright. Maybe just a hint cloying in the drydown. But overall a really good fragrance. Thumbs up from me.
benb

This and the rest of the male chanels should have the same beeswax drydown as Antaeus. It would make them worlds better and they would last longer.

If this one had the same beeswax drydown as Antaeus from Chanel it would be the perfect scent for me.

I think this one is a real commer. Really interesting in other words. It could have a slightly more chypre base with maybe a hint of beeswax. But a side from that I think it was really good.
benb

Have to disagree with Monkey Man Matt this time. Personally I think this is the only one of the Gant scents that I liked. There is definitely something in it that appeals to me. Dont know why I didnt by it in the first place. Thumbs up from me.
benb

Remember using this one for a while in the eighties. It is very well done but after a while I got tired of it. I am far more impressed by Iquitos.
benb

I made a mellow review of this the other day. But a few days ago I smelled it on someone else in a store and it was an absolute enchanting scent. Lovely. I havent been using it for a very long vile but I might stray with it when I get tired of my signature scent voleur de Roses.
benb

Very fresh and clean. Maybe slightly to clean at the start. Best if you wait for the lovely, amazing muskdrydown. The Extreme version is the one to go for.
benb

Been there. Done that. Not very impressed.
benb

I wouldnt exactly call this one ubermacho. But I am not inclined to agree 100% with Mrs Honey. If applied lightly this one could very well pass for a masculine scent. Quite allright.
benb

Very good in the beginning. Just what I want in a scent this time of the year. Unfortunately it fades in the drydown. Maybe the EDP is what I want instead. As it is I will only give it a neutral grade because of the week ending.
benb

How on earth can this one classify as a female fragrance. It is definitely one of the most masculine scents I have ever tried in my life. I would have no trouble wearing it myself. And I am very picky what female scents I put on. Thumbs up.
benb

Almost bought a sample set of Clive Christians three mens fragrances when I was recently in New York. Even though they are very well made and smells lovely I am not really sure if I would cough up 1800 bucks for any of them. None the less. Because they are different and very lovely scents - its a thumbs up from me.
benb

This is one of those scents that give me the same reaction as Farenheit. I have a love/hate relationship with them. As with Farenheit I absolutely hate the topnote and are desperately in love with the drydown. Its sharp topnote is in great contrast with the smoth and very elegant drydown.
benb

One of the better alternative from Miller Harris. Together with En sens de bois and Terre de bois, this is my favourite. You really notice the tobacco scent, which is something I appreciate. Tobaccoscents is really my thing. For some reason it feels like a milder and better version of Comme de Garcon.
benb

The Extreme Version of this which I have bought is absolute heaven and perfection in a bottle.
benb

I think this is the dirty version of Antaeus. Much better than its cheap reputation. Best suited for winter.
benb

I am not impressed with this one at all. To think that it was on my top ten list once upon a time is beyond my comprehension. Syntetic garbage.
benb

If you can wait for the drydown - you are in for something wonderful. For some reason - and there will probably be protests about this. But Bandit always reminds me of Van Gils and Antaeus. Agressive dirty leather.
benb

I have now bought and tested Antaeus. This might be my new signature scent. It is really up my alley. Before I was afraid of using scents like this because it could portray me as more conservative than I am. It has nothing to do with being conservative. I am simply drawn to scents with a strong character. I use to want my scents to be masculine, elegant and playful. But now I have finally come to the conlusion that I am not a masculine, playful and elegant person. I am a masculine, comfortable kind of person with very strong opinions. And therfore I need a masculine, comfortable scent with very strong character. Just like this one.
benb

An absolutely fantastic scent. If so many other men didnt wear it I would wear it all the time. Like someone on this blog said. It is a fantastic amber. The female Obsession is also faboulous and one of the few females I would ever think of wearing. They smell very similar to me. Thumbs up for both.
benb

I tested this one about a year ago. It is much better and quite different from the original version. Much more powdery and smooth. Not so much bugspray, washingdetergent as the original.
benb

This is a very well made fragrance. but IMHO quite old and dusty smelling fragrance. Noone under 50 should wear it. I bought it several years ago and havent worn it since then. I hold on to the bottle mostly because it might be worth something some day since Lalique is a collectors item.
benb

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I was curious about it because I heard James Dean wore it. I can definitely understand why. It is a lovelys scent. Even though it could be stronger. I bought the toilet water. This one should really come in EDP. It is very refined and masculine and different. Nothing you smell on everyone ells. Thumbs up from me.
benb

I used to wear this when I was younger. I so wish they would bring this one back. It would definitely suit me. It for some reason reminds me of Terre de Bois by Miller Harris. Thumbs up.
benb

Playful and elegant. But IMO a little bit to sweet and cloying to be to in my liking.
benb

This is a masculine, playful and elegant perfume. IMO the better and more tasteful alternative to Joop. Better suited for winter.
benb

I dont really know what to think of this scent. When I first bought it I was very fond of it. These days I find it a bit cloying and not very masculine. Even a tad bit cheap smelling. At the same time I find it has something compelling about it. Personally I think Cristoball Balenciaga PH is a better alternative in the same category.
benb

So far I have only tested this scent from a sample. For the moment I am a little bit splitt about wheter I like this one or not. It is a very different scent - like everything that Hermés does. The beginning is a little bit offputing but then the drydown is very fresh and elegant. A perfect summerscent.
benb

I bought this a few days ago along with Bel Ami. I had for a long time stayed away from this brand because I tried Rocabar and was not very impressed with it. But that was several years ago. Equipage is definitely the best citrusy scent I have tried so far. Different, understated - but still noticable and very elegant. Hermés is definitely going to be my new favourite perfumehouse.
benb

I just bought this scent a few days ago. It is absolutely lovely. Perfect depth. And it is what you usually calls not in your face - but definitely noticeble. That describes this scent perfect. It is masculine, elegant and playful. Just like I want my scents to be. Hermés is definitely my favourite brand from now on.
benb

I remember wearing this a long time ago. My mamma had an astmaattack from it so I stopped wearing it. If that hadnt occured I would probably continued wearing it. It is really a very nice and well made powerhouse that is very masculine.
benb

I have written a review of this before. I sprayed some on my sheets yesterday and It was one of the most intoxicating smells I have ever experienced. Absolutely heaven. Cold, brilliant and charismatic. As it should be. I think both Keith Richards or is it Mick Jagger as well as Sean Connery us this one. Made for a star in other words. I would kill to get hold of the EDP-version who is said to be even better. The only reason I stopped wearing it in the first place is becaus it got discontinued. Definitely on my top five list.
benb

Lovely Scent is lovely. Allthough I think it is slightly too week. Personally I prefer Scent Intense who I think is made by a genius. Very origninal and lovely. Excellent balance between dark and light. Maybe more mysterious than dark.
So far the best tescent I have ever experienced. A definite thumbs up from me.
benb

Very suitable for summertime. Very clean and elegant, subtle but since it is a EDP it is not to light and in other words it has sillage. Not to many that wears it though. I think George Clooney is wearing it. I dont really know why I got tired of it.
benb

This is one I regret not testing before it was still on the market. Especially if it smells even similar to Cinnabar which I love to feel on a woman. Absolutely amazing.
benb

Why did they discontinue this one. It is very exciting and and not for the timid of heart. It would probably suit me perfectly if I just could find it.
benb

Not my favourit as it is not very imaginative, but not as dated and awful as some people might think. Not to strong and not to week. If you dont wear to much it is quite elegant.
benb

This is one of the most interesting rosescents I have had the honour to smell. Very dark. This one could almost pass as a male scent. Love it
benb

I just wrote a very negative review of Mitsouko. As much as I hate that scent I just as much love this one. Very mysterious, elegant and in always lovely. Lovely drydown. I hope I have time to buy it before they discontinue it(which I hope they never do).
benb

This might have something to do with scinchemistry, but on me this smells absolutely awful. Old mold. I wouldnt wear this one for free.
benb

Not my favourite fresh scent. But it has a certain something that appeals to me. Much better than Eau d'Hadrien in my humble opinion. Good lasting power.
benb

If you thinking of buying this. Buy the absolute version. It is much better. The only thing I like about this one is the name. Very classy.
benb

Absolutely horrible. Yuck. Cyrry Overload and every other spice in the book too. Enough said
benb

I like this a whole lot better than its more chemical cousin Roma Uomo. Much better.
benb

To think that this one used to be one of my favourites. Took a sniff at it the other day and I must say that it must be one of the worst chemical garbage I have ever felt. Yuck.
benb

This is I suppose a well made fragrance, but there was some note in it that I really could not stand. Something turned sour on my skin for some reason. I bought a tiny bottle of it years ago and most of it is still in there. I dont know if it perhaps was the immortelle note in it. I somehow disagrees with that note. The same thing with woormwood. Not really my thing.
benb

I have probably already rewied this one. But this is good enough to be rewied a second time. About 10 or 20 years ago it was my number one scent. If they had not discontinued it in Sweden it would have still been my signature scent. Absolutely wonderful. Very special if you ask me.
benb

I remember liking this one. Why did they discontinue it. It was a very fine scent. Not to strong, not to week. A real powerhouse if you ask me. In the same style of Gucci Envy maybe. Bring it back.
benb

This one is very interesting. Very different from your average scent. Personally I have a mild problem with the licorice in this one. Nevertheless its a thumbs up from me.
benb

I remember wearing this about twenty years ago. And I know I enjoyed it and would very much like it if the brought it back. These days you dont see much from Alain Delon in Sweden.
benb

Higly original and fresh. Havent bought it yet. Maybe in the future. Have just tried it in the store but was nevertheless quite impressed. Just as well made as A-men.
benb

This is my second favourite fresh scent next to Kenzo l'eau par. Since this is me the EDP-freak talking I naturally think it should be an extreme or a Intense version of this. Especially this time of the year. It is way better than Issey Miyake, Tommy and the likes of them.
benb

Fresh and elegant. More unisex than feminine. Quite good to have this time of the year. Even though it is not my favourite fresh scent it is a tumbs up.
benb

This one works great as a roomspray. This might sounds like I disliked it but I dont. It is just not me anymore. Very well made with great sillage. Lasts forever but this days it is a little bit too sweet for me.
benb

I dont know what to think of this one. I feel like I have smelled it before. I like the topnote and the middlenote. But then the basenote seems a little bit to childish and even feminine. Not really me.
benb

This must be the most booring scent I have ever smelled. Water has probably a more interesting smell. Only for vimps without any kind of backbone or personality what so ever.
benb

I don't know if I have allready rewieved this one, but If that is the case I can say it again. This is really an example of fresh elegance. I am so looking forward to trying the Intense version.
benb

I agree with MonkeyManMatt. This one is discrete, warm, woody ambience. Not extreemly strong sillage - but not bad at all. Theres definitely something with the smell - maybe the incense that definitely does it for me.
benb

This is one of those oldies I so would like if they brought back. I have only owned 1 bottle in my life. After that I could'nt find it anymore. I guess it was discontinued. But I remember loving it. This is definitely my sort of stuff. Leathery chypre, green and crisp. Elegant simplicity in its best. Reminds me just a bit of my recent favourite Rose D'Hommes. At least in the drydown.
benb

Why can't they bring this one back. It is a real crime that it has been discontinued. I remember wearing this one as a teenager a long time ago and it was definitely a favourit of mine. A real classic. Bring it back!!!
benb

I definitely prefer the extreme version from this one. Simply because it has more sillage. Othervise quite allright.
benb

This is one of those scents that I cant understand why I dont enjoy it. It is essentially nothing wrong with it. It is fresh and long lasting and well made but there is someting in the scent itself that puts me off a bit.
benb

I wrote before that Versace Man is my favourite of that brand. But I think that this one deserves to be mentioned. It is a very good and well made scent. Easy to wear at any occation. Not to week, not to strong. The only problem I have with it is the name who to me is a tad bit booring and unsophisticated.
benb

I definitly think this is one of Versaces better products. It is definitely me. As usuall with me I think this should come in EDP.
benb

There is something about this one that I really can't take to me. I have usually no trouble with scents that have a strong personality. I actually prefer them from the vimps. But for some reason there is something in this one that is not really me.benb

This is in my opinion the best of the Dolce&Gabbana perfumes. Masculine has to much citrus for my taste and Pour Hommes has some strange note I cant really take to.
benb

This is nothing but a toned downed copy of By Man.
Benb

This is one scent I dont know what to think of. It is one of those scent that should suit me 100%. But for some reason I cant make myself buy it. It has something cloying in it. As it is now I am both excited by it and appalled. For the moment I am neutral in other words.
benb

This is one scent I am interested in trying. Sounds exactly like me.
benb

It is the same with this as with Premier Figue. It doesnt really suit my personality or my skin chemistry. But it is not in anyway bad. It just isnt me.
benb

I cant really take this one to me. It is not horrible but does not really do anything for me.
That goes for both versions.
benb

For me this resembles Allure Homme for some reason. In my opinion this one is the winner. The best amber I have smelled so far. Not surprised if I end up bying it in the future.
benb

This is my favourite smokey scent. I so regret not purchasing it during winter. It is very unique, playful and masculine.
benb

I would have liked some leather in the drydown of this one. Otherwise it is lovely.
benb

I dont mind this one at all. It is both fresh, elegant and has lasting power. The only thing I dislike about it is that so many wears it.
benb

This is the only one of the fresh scents that I truly like. It is a clean breath of fresh air. I am sure someone else has said the same about this. But it is true.
benb

I used to like this one a lot in the eighties. Then I wore the AS. I wouldnt mind if they brought this one back.

This is the kind of scent I would wear if I were a woman.
benb

I love the power in this one. It is certainly masculine. It is something I would expect Sylvester Stallone to be wearing. The only thing I have a problem with it is the pencil shaving smell in the end.
benb

This is one of those fragrances that I am very disappointed that I never bought. I have only tried it on a teststrip. I never forget that wonderful scent. Bring it back
benb

I dont really know what to say about this. Some days I like it some days I cant stand it. It is really a coldweather scent. This is something you use to show ur big confidence.

Im so excited about using this one. I wrote a mellow review about the original. I think I was somewhat unfair to it. It is absolutely lovely. Will definitly try to get hold of the essence version. It is me!!!benb

This isn't bad if you like christmas potpurri. It is definitly noticeble. Not my favourite, but a definite try during winter.
benb

Agrees with subzero. This is too smooky. It should have been a stronger version of the original with more tangerine and more streamlined.
benb

I wrote earlier in another review of this one that it was interesting. Now I have purchased it and the only thing interesting with it is how it can be sold in the firs place.

I can't deside whether I like this one or not. There is something in i that I both like and hate at the same time.
benb

I use to love this one. I dont know what happened.I guess i just changed my taste. This days I usually find it a bit to cloying when I try it.
benb

I absolutely HATE the topnote on this one and absolutely LOVE the drydown. In other words I dont know what to feel about it.
benb

I think this is Baldessarini Concentrees disorderly not so well behaved cousin.
benb

I am usually not the complaining type. But together with Boss nr 1. This must be the most awful fragrance I have ever smelled.
benb

I have only one thing to say about this. Yuck!!

Took a sniff at this some time ago and I found it to be very interesting actually. Seriously thinking of buying it.
benb

I agree with those who say that Baldessarini Concentree - the best version if you ask me - smells like money. The smell is just what I want in a scent. Elegant, masculine and playful.

I have been going on about Voleur de Rose being my favorite scent. But lately I have decided to make Opium my signature scent instead. VDR is a bit to excentric for me. This isnt. Benb

This is a very nice and lovely scent. Except that it is to to week. If it was up to me there would only be Eau de Parfum. Eau de toilette would simply not exist.

Wearing Rose D'Hommes right now. I usually wear it for special occations. It is not very unusual but the scent itself is absolutely intoxicating. Beside my signature scent Voleur de Roses its the best scent I know.

This is a lovely scent if you just could smell it better on yourself. I am seriously thinking of trying the essence version.

This one is quite alright. Although not as good as Voleur de Roses. Best suited for cold weather. Thinking of using it as my signature scent during the autumn./benb
