Bois du Portugal by Creed

I had such high expectations from this after reading so many positive things about BdP. I must say, though, that for my taste, this is a little too "old man." Admittedly, it does improve during drydown, but it still smells a little old for a 30-year old. I like the smell of grandpa, but I don't want to smell like my grandpa. It's pleasant, just not how I prefer to smell.

Modern for Men by Banana Republic

This one for me epitomizes the rule of smell the fragrance on your body - not just on a sample. I really liked Modern when just smelling the bottle - really thought it would be something peppery, cedary. Then I sprayed it on. After an hour, I went to the bathroom and scrubbed my wrist. Really soapy smelling (before I scrubbed my wrist!)...gave me a headache. World of difference in how it smelled on. No thanks.
