 | B*Men by Thierry MuglerA completely grown up and sophisticated scent... 8th March, 2007. |
| | Le Mâle by Jean Paul GaultierThis scent is an affirmation that there is still magic yet to be discovered in this world... 8th March, 2007. |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Guerrilla 2 by Comme des GarçonsWhat happened to CDG? the phrase that seemed to be echoing among many lovers of scents shortly after this new series hit the street...I didnt expect too much out of this scent after hearing everybody's chagrin, but my loyalty to CDG wouldnt allow me not to buy such a highly anticipated scent... 5th September, 2006. |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 6 Synthetic: Skai by Comme des GarçonsThis one will have to grow on me a bit...I can see myself liking this one, eventually, but it's just a bit "out there"...it smells a bit like warm cheap hairgel or something, but as time goes by it softens out a bit, then warms up a bit more, it almost smells "sticky" (if this makes any sence...)CDG are the masters of making the unusual beautiful, and this scent is no exception, if you're looking for somehting different, look no further... 5th September, 2006. |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 3 Incense: Zagorsk by Comme des GarçonsNext to Avignon, the best of the incense series... 31st August, 2006. |
| | Canali Men by Canaliconsidered irresistable by many, considered generic by many more...Canali is a bit of a funny duck...fare more androgynous than the clothing label it's named after, yet at the same time, there is a definate continental sophistication that peeks through the "pleasant" exterrior...I recieve many compliments on this scent, yet, I must admit, if I wasnt such a fan of Canali clothing, I probably wouldnt have even considered buying this...kind of sweet and fruity upon the initial whiff, but then the masculine muski-ness gives it a strong jab and sends it spinning into something completely different...not bad for an initial offering, I think that Canali could follow in Zegna's footsteps and present some great scents in the future...deffinately worth picking up... 28th August, 2006. |
| | Scent Intense by Costume NationalEverybody seems to think this scent is dark...I dont aggree...I think it might be a bit mysterious...but it knows that the best place to hide a secret is in braod daylight... 18th April, 2006. |
| | Kingdom by Alexander McQueenPierce my heart again... 2nd April, 2006. |
| | Passage d'Enfer by L'Artisan ParfumeurThis scent is a bit of a strange creature...It's been mentioned in the same breath as Avignon or Messe di Minuit...it's a curch scent, an incense scent...true, but there is much more below the surface, the incense is gentle, calming, this is a wake, white lillies surround a dark wood casket lined in velvet...the scent is sweet, smoky, and cool, tempting you closer and closer, untill finally you must succumb, to the passage d'enfer... 7th March, 2006. |
 | Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio ArmaniReminds me of Armani clothing...it's nice...but doesnt live up to the legend... 5th January, 2006. |
| | Paco Rabanne pour Homme by Paco RabanneIn it's day, this was probably a fantastic scent, but now, it smells a bit dated (albeit not bad)...sweet, energetic, and cool, but exceptionaly powdery, conjures up images of vacationing with new money stockbrokers in Aspen circa 1983, skiing along the fresh powder on your newly waxed rosignols, and at the end of the day, driving your Jag to a rustic cabin to enjoy a toddy and talk with your buddies about how much money you'll be making in the comming year... 5th January, 2006. |
| | Must de Cartier by CartierVery sophisticated Oriental scent for women with a hint of vanilla...not overtly sexy...more, powerful, like a strong willed business-woman with a steely intelect...buying companies like your average woman buys clothes...her presence commands respect, yet all the while she remains very feminine...deffinately a classic female fragerance... 5th January, 2006. |
| | Hamptons by Bond No. 9Sort of Avant guarde as far as marine scents go...crisp, citrusy, and very floral...like a black and white photo of a bouquet of flowers and a crisp white capitan's hat sprawled out on the teaque wood deck of a yacht...enchanting, but, not posessing the same complexity as other Bond scents, although still a masterpeice in it's own right... 30th December, 2005. |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 7 Sweet: Burnt Sugar by Comme des GarçonsAmbiguity, and mystery...typical of what CDG has made us come to expect...this scent is absolutely intreaguing, CDG does it again, making us question our own perception of what a scent it, and who it's for, pushing us to the limit, and bringing us back masterfully...Burnt sugar smells so sweet, so unmistakibly feminine upon first application...but then the sweet segues perfectly into a spicy mysterious heatwave, which mellows out into something of a soothing, botanical scent, all the while spicy and sweet, but deffiantely not ordinary...this scent is saffron colored flags waving against a clear blue sky, as a wise old sage pours you tea in an enormous garden, and bends your mind with his contemplations of the universe...deffinately something special, not to be missed by any man or woman... 30th December, 2005. |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 2 Red: Rose by Comme des GarçonsA stroll through a rose garden...deffinately a bit more on the femenine side...a day in the court of a beautiful queen, admirers come from all around just to drop rose pedals at her feet, the intoxicating scent fills the fresh crisp breeze that seems to have come from another time...when the earth was young...relaxing, sexy, almost regal...CDG does it again!!! 28th December, 2005. |
| | Bleecker Street by Bond No. 9Bond continues to get better and better with each new release...I was a bit unsure about Bleeker street at first, this one requires a bit of a drydown time, but the wait is well worth it...it's crisp and refreshing at first, and then mellows down to something warm and a bit spicy...like eating lunch at an outdoor cafe, starting out with a cool green salad, and ending with cinnamon gelato and a shot of espresso, all the while, beautiful scenery passes before you...deffinately a day time scent, so omforting and relaxing, and all the while very fashionable...those who wouldnt aggree that Bond is one of the greatest perfumeries ever obviously hasnt smelled this one yet... 27th December, 2005. |
 | Flowerbomb by Viktor & RolfSticky, sweet, hot...like melted sugar..not really sexy, or fun, doesnt even smell all that good...imagine being buried in cotton candy on a very hot day... 27th December, 2005. |
| | Comme des Garçons 3 by Comme des GarçonsCDG never ceases to amaze! For all intents and purposes, this scent should not be for a man...I mean, it's not particularly masculine, it's very synthetic, most of the notes are unplaceable...yet oddly, it works...and works beautifully...this scent kind of picks up where Odeur 71 left off, but truly takes the concept of finding beauty in the unusual to the next level... 27th December, 2005. |
| | M7 by Yves Saint LaurentReminds me a bit of YSL Rive Gauche por homme, but toned down a bit...A sexy woodsy mystery...like a summer's night ride through the countryside on a twisty road, in a vintage convertable with the top down, each turn reveals something new, and yet strangely familiar. This is a mature scent, yet it doesnt take it's self too seriously...it's a sporty scent, yet not athletic...deffinately something to fall in love with... 27th December, 2005. |
| | Kiton Men by KitonGeneric...but in a good way...if you can get past the inital smell which is hard to describe...almost a "soapy-bacon fat" smell, then you get, a typicak "perfume counter" men's scent...a pinch of floral, a bit of spice...eh...it is what it is...this scent is a cup of coffee at starbucks...safe, you always know what to expect, yet ho-hum...not a classic...but still very wearable... 27th December, 2005. |
| | Curve for Men by Liz ClaiborneVery generic...kind of a faux sporty scent...reminds me of how your gym clothes smelled on a friday afternoon...kind of sweaty, but saturated with some kind of cheap drugstore deoderant, and youthful green smelling cologne...deffinately not wearable by somebody over the age of 20...it is just fine for a HS football player or somehting, but will deffiantely smell strange on anybody other than an adolescent jock... 27th December, 2005. |
| | Aramis by AramisMossy, funky, lively...this scent is so "viddy viddy English"...images of cruising around the English country side in a vintage Jag with well worn leather interrior come to mind...the scent seems to be both lively and relaxing, it would be just as comfortable in a study, reading leather bound editions of Charles Dickens and smoking a curved meerchaum pipe, as it would partying in a secret location with movie stars and beautiful women...the true deffinition of a classic... 27th December, 2005. |
| | Prada (new) by PradaThis fragerance is an embodyment of the fashion house who it is named for...sexy, stylish, uber-trendy, fashion forward, edgy, yet always comfortable... 27th December, 2005. |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 3 Incense: Avignon by Comme des GarçonsAvignon...Avignon...the prettiest scent I've ever had on... 21st November, 2005. |
| | Z by Ermenegildo ZegnaYouthful and energetic...a ride down a quiet streetin between the medeteranian and the cirtus orchards of Sorriento on a silver Ducati while cool see breezes brush your face and whip through your hair...crisp and citrusy with a slight hint of leather, this scent wakes the senses and then takes them for a joyride...very fast, sporty yet still, through it all, it remains elegant... 9th November, 2005. |
| | Comme des Garçons 2 Man by Comme des GarçonsMasculine, deep, woody, smokey...this scent is dark, heavy, and yet serenly praceful, like sitting by a slowly dying camprife late at night when you're all alone, deep in the heart of the wilderness...the scent is out-doorsey, kind of dry and natural...All the while very seductive...deffinately a good evening fragerance... 9th November, 2005. |
| | Bulgari Aqua pour Homme by BulgariI could understand why some people wouldnt like this scent, but I personally think it's right on...it starts out as your typical aquatic scent, you dive in, just like you would any other Aqua, but just below the surface, you soon realize that you're swimming in uncharted waters...a slightly different almost turpentine like scent peeks through the freshness, adding a different dimension, but as it lingers longer, the scent becomes more green, almost piney...an ever changing scent with alot more complexity than it is given credit for...still waters run deep... 9th November, 2005. |
| | H.O.T. Always by Bond No. 9Lively, energetic, daring, and oh yes...deffinately hot...this fragerance lives up to it's name, a combination that for all intents and purposes should not work...Bond is able to pull it off in a legendary way...the scent is strong and unappologetic, "you dont like me? Too Bad!" it screams in the faces of the paparazzi as they snap photos as it makes a grand entrance at the most exclusive and trendy night spot in manhattan...this scent is the epitome of star quality, it does it's own thing, and we shouldnt like it, but we're oddly drawn to it...just like your favorite "bad boy" or "bad girl" celebrity...they are controversial always, they are bold always, but above all others, they are H.O.T. always... 9th November, 2005. |
| | Aramis Life by AramisA little too fruity and floral to be considered uber-masculine...a bit too one dimensional...it is a scent that doesnt know what direction it's going...for what it is ...it's wearable, not bad...perhaps some would even think it smelled good...I really wanted to fall in love with this scent, but it's like an over hyped movie that just falls flat on it's face...it's good, but doesnt live up to expectation, and therefore somewhat of a dissapointment... 9th November, 2005. |
| | Brit for Men by BurberryFloral, sweet, soft...deffinately not what you think of when you think "quality men's scent", but somehow, Burberry makes this work...The scent is cool and dignified, a true gentleman's fragerance...it harkens back to olden times, perhaps around the 1920's gents dressed to the nines with lovely ladies on their arms, ready to paint the town, with a nice rose in his lapels, and a slightly cedary cigar in his jacket pocket for later...in all truthfulness, though, this could just as easily be worn by a woman, but is still a great scent for a man... 9th November, 2005. |
