Allure Homme by Chanel

WOW! Now this is a perfume! It is indescribably, like a spicy Grand cru Burgundy from Richebourg or Romanee-Conti. Multi-layered and very complex, this perfume oozes class. This is one of my top 5 perfumes, and it has beautiful length and evolves over 8 hours (fresh, florals, spicy, ripe fruits, all sorts of things). Just make sure you don't overspray it as it is quite powerful. The girls go gaga over this one when I wear it! Probably more suited to a big night than daytime but Chanel has really delivered the goods here. Very under-rated. Similar in style to the equally wonderful Versace's The Dreamer and Givenchy's Xeryus Rouge but fresher and less spicy and oriental. An exceptional mix.

Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy

WOW! Now this is a perfume! It is indescribably, like a spicy red-fruited Grand cru Burgundy from Richebourg or Romanee-Conti. Multi-layered and very complex, this perfume oozes class. This is one of my top 5 perfumes, and it has beautiful length and evolves over 8 hours (fresh, florals, spicy, ripe fruits, tobacco, all sorts of things). Just make sure you don't overspray it as it is quite powerful. The girls go gaga over this one when I wear it! Probably more suited to a big night than daytime but Givenchy has really delivered the goods here. Very under-rated.

Blonde by Versace

WOW! Now this is a perfume! It is indescribably, like a Grand cru Burgundy from Richebourg or Romanee-Conti. Multi-layered and very complex, this perfume oozes class. This is one of my top 5 perfumes, and it has beautiful length and evolves over 8 hours (intensely feminine, fresh, florals, spicy, ripe fruits, tobacco, all sorts of things). Just make sure you don't overspray it as it is quite powerful. The guys go gaga over this one! Probably more suited to a big night than daytime but Gianni has really delivered the goods here. Very under-rated.

Acqua di Giņ pour Homme by Giorgio Armani

This is irrefutably the most over-rated men's perfume ever to be released and the most over-priced. It would be a wonderful perfume if it lasted more than 5 minutes (and I'm being serious). What went wrong here? It is a disgrace this has ever seen the light of day, and it lives only on the Armani name - yes, for blandness. Cannot belive that other reviewers rave about this rubbish. After 5 minutes of fresh watermelon you are left with lemon-like acidity that is disgustingly sour.
