Oxygene Homme by Lanvin

very fresh with a fruity marine note. I can smell the coriander in the top note clearly. Not too long lasting though. Similar to Happy for men. Still - it's well worthy of a squirt

Spicy and, yes it's unique - you know it if you get waft of this juice

It's a grower too - you may not like it at first but, after a while you want to wear it again and again

Elements Aqua by Hugo Boss

Just got this one

Sweet, likeable, a bit like a light version of Givenchy Xeryus Rouge (on the basenotes)

It's growing on me as we speak

I think this is going to change as it warms on the skin - good one!
