Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido

this oriental is nothing to play with. can easily be overpowering with just 1 spray. applied from a distance is the only way i can pull this off but i simply cant wear it. pungent. a very toned down version would be by man d&g

Jaïpur Homme by Boucheron

im not a fan of spices but jaipur shines. masculine and the vanilla smooths out the spices. back in 2004 was when i tried this and it made a lasting impression.

not much of a fan of pepper.this slightly reminds me of himilaya for some reason but doesnt come close.
18 March 2007

a touch of lemon on a cool white light musk in the warmer months. the drydown is the flaw in this one which gets kinda tacky

not for a man for sure,more for a woman and it has an old classic smell with notes clashing, not a good thing

22 January 2007

Kenneth Cole New York Men by Kenneth Cole

wanted to go hard on this on but I went neutral,basically because it does smell ok. downside is that its a typical fresh frag that gets lost in the crowd.nothin special but again,its ok
22 January 2007

Aquaman by Rochas

a peppery aquatic juice.there are many other aquatics I would wear instead.
22 January 2007

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake

a let down. I was thinking something spectacular or close to it cause of all the hype. I give this a thumbs up anyway because it is a nice and clean scent with a powdery soap presence that's off putting. this one can mess with the nose and can bring a headache to some so spray light with this one.
22 January 2007

Bois du Portugal by Creed

thumbs up. starts off reminding me of a calmer jean pascal. spicey and for sure masculine.
22 January 2007

Crystal Flowers by Montale

thumbs up.a pleasant scent for an elegant evening.nothing sharp ,only smooth floral notes and a touch of aouds to keep it unisex and interesting.I've worn this a few times and it was an instant hit. but I think women wears this best. a must try especially for women
16 December 2006

Black Aoud by Montale

took a few tries for me to decide on this one, then one day I said somethin smells interesting , realizing it was me. starts off strong but calms down but remaining dark and mysterious. thumbs up for this montale product
16 December 2006

Aoud Roses Petals by Montale

after a heavy rain.a rose pulled from the roots.moist dirt and rose pedals with water beads starting to dry. bewitched was how one described this and that is absolutely correct. and very sexy. inhailing this saying ooooh, very admiring. thumbs up
16 December 2006

Aoud Lime by Montale

sharp, soapy, and a faint dried lime peel. not much else. thumbs down. montale has better aouds to offer.
16 December 2006

Ciel for Him by Amouage

disappointment. I tried to imagine spring mornin ,nothin close. I can't wear this stuff. its appealing to some but not here. terrible
16 December 2006

Amouage Gold Men by Amouage

baby powder and floral notes blended nice. not for me though. thumbs down, can't get excited about baby powder and there are so many other frags I would wear over and over till the bottle is empty before I w ar this. hate to say it like that, but its true.
16 December 2006

Santal Noble by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier

burning coffee grinds with some special dark chocolate. thick and heavy and later turning creamy, vanilla,and coconuty.a classy and sexy scent.top notes are harsh and heavy.then it turns into somethin nice. neutral to me because its not my style but the drydown is nice. respect there.
16 December 2006

Himalaya by Creed

snow and pepper,I get that.very nice scent, only bad thing I say is that it doesn't last long at all on my skin. thumbs up and I can see why himalaya receives high marks. 10 times better than smw imo.
16 December 2006

Silver Mountain Water by Creed

smw doesn't work for me. I guess I'm one fo the very few that don't like it at all. I don't get to enjoy the tea note , there is kinda ink smell in there.Noooo for me
16 December 2006

Santa Fe for Men by Aladdin Fragrances

I like this one.I would like to find a similar frag lasting longer and ties everything together better.a must try, very cheap price too
02 December 2006

Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana

today, d&g is so popular. it truly is a very good juice. that tobacco note is sooo nice. when people can tell you what you're wearing then its time to put it up for a little while
02 December 2006

Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein

my very first powerhouse frag.a true throwback and a classic standing the test of time.great sillage and longevity .body heat activates sweetness in obsession, understand what I'm talkin bout.
02 December 2006

By Man by Dolce & Gabbana

by is somethin different from the average scents. with a slightly animalic presence.by has a warm feeling to it at times and slightly powdery. it gets noticed and gets compliments , which is important to me when it comes to scents.
01 December 2006

Allure Homme Sport by Chanel

thumbs way up with this 1.this fresh scent is accompanied by vetiver to sexy it up. one of my favs
01 December 2006

Acqua di Giò pour Homme by Giorgio Armani

something for the younger crowd. nice and watery. thumbs up and the only negative that I can find is that it was too popular. I remember smelling this in the mall on 4 different people. bought it for my nephew. he told me the girls talks about how good he smells.
25 August 2006

Tangerine Vert by Miller Harris

high quality juice. real tangerines and lemons is what I smell in this being trailed by a very light musk making it suitable for men also. 8 out of 10 for me.
25 August 2006

Geir by Geir Ness

geir doesn't work the magic on my skin. its a good scent but very over rated. I need a little sillage in my scents and geir has less than that. a fresh crisp breeze with some fresh cut grass with vanilla making its presence known. I love the scent but it doesn't get known much when I wear it.
12 August 2006

The Dreamer by Versace

dreamer is like a beauty and the beast. the top notes are so harsh that I can't stand it. with some patience,dreamer morphs into something beautiful.many say this is similar to d&g ph with the tobacco note but to me they're not. dreamer has a wet tobacco smell that's been sitting in a hot barn. then later its a almost like a sweet and natural body odor that I love. a scent that changes on your skin which takes about an hour to turn into somethin wonderful.
12 August 2006

Nobile by Gucci

nobile, lets see. the main thing about this is that nobile has a resemblance of a older man with class. this is a well put together scent. sometimes I'm think about a pine forest when I smell nobile.
12 August 2006

Envy for Men by Gucci

a sweet woody scent that is classy and sensual and most of all, Sexy!! envy impresses the women for sure. I'm not goin to talk about the many unforgettable compliments I've received with this 1.stunning.
