Versace Man by Versace

Mysterious and overwhelming. interesting blends of bitter-sweet notes and distinguishable. at the first is a bit like Escada's Magnetism-I think saffron is make it similarity. reminds me cigarettes butts and pipe. perfect and enjoyable.

Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren

Polo Blue = Echo (davidoff)+ Cucumber. one of the cheapest smell.

Timbuktu by L'Artisan Parfumeur

A modern fragrances that i tested. great opening with green mango and
gently pink pepper & cardamom, but
undoubted its root are papyrus wood
and karo karounde flower.
some notes of it its similar to Gucci PH: Frankincense (Olibanum), papyrus wood, and vetiver in drydown.
I like most of L'Artisan's because they
are unique - but between them Passage
D'Enfer, Tea for Two & Timbuktu are
a bit smoky because of in it:
frankincense & smoky tea.
overall Timbuktu is high recommended.

Cool Water by Davidoff

Terrible!!! An exact imitation of the worst Creed's, GIT. Cool Water and GIT dont have any difference to me - both are monotonous and one dimentional. the only advantage of GIT to Cool Water is its oldness. similar to carpet cleaners & shampoo, its foamy for me!. really doesn't have any special thing, utterly not recommended. I regret of buying it.

Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior

I feel inclusive citrus smell allways,
of course among 2 hours - because
longevity is 2 hours. its longevity is the worst part - though this problme solved in Eau Sauvage Extrême.
Despite Davidoff & Kenzo products that
are similar, Dior products are not
similar to each others.
Eau Sauvage is important citrus-scent.

Kenzoair by Kenzo

If you spray 200 ml of this bottle, maybe you can felt it. i never felt
this smell.
similar to pool water - of course pool
water is more smelly.
Post-Modern fragrance which is created
up to now.

Cerruti Image by Cerruti

Disappointing - Vapidest version of
ST Dupont's Signature, I hate both.

skin - spray it makes me delirium.
don't test it.

L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme by Kenzo

From spraying to drydown it's steady smell is stable in my nose.
it is proved for me L'Eau Par is the only consedirable perfume by Kenzo.
it's very simple and this simplicity is not bad.
overall it was not surprise for me.

Arpège pour Homme by Lanvin

I agree with Matt - this stuff is similar to Burberry Touch but is more tolerable than it.
tough it's opening is a bit like
Dior Homme and promising.
i dont like Arpège at all - because i am very allergic to it.
16 September 2006

Envy for Men by Gucci

As if old smells poured in Gucci Envy.
reminds me of Old Spice, Obsession & Pleasures - all of them are timeworn.
Artistic combination of junky perfumes.
Gucci Envy is expired.
15 September 2006

Bois Farine by L'Artisan Parfumeur

Another different perfume by Jean-Claude Ellena.
Ellena has specific style in producing perfumes.
all fragrances have defects but L'Artisan's & Hermès's are lower than others.
it is acceptable than many people don't like it, that is very sweet, but IMO it's not repulsive at all.
Bois Farine is floral-powdery & buttery sweet fragrance, it is smooth & enjoyable all time.
Bois Farine is a harmonic orchestra, that Jean-Claude Ellena is the conductor.

New Haarlem by Bond No. 9

It seems have edible essence. it is really unisex fragrance.
NH & generally sweet fragrances are long lasting at least on my skin,
but unfortunately i don't like this specify.
New Haarlem is suitable for winter, but i don't use more than two sprays at a time, because it makes headache.
biggest problem is the price, that is an the disadvantage.
Totally New Haarlem is very luscious.
11 September 2006

Pleasures for Men by Estée Lauder

Pleasures is very oily & foggy.
i wonder why was that created?
this fragrance doesn't change during time, that's really boring.
doesn't have any special thing, but fortunately it's longevity is low.
suitable for Mickey Mouse.
10 September 2006

Millésime Impérial by Creed

A classic fragrance by Creed. attractive opening with accent fruits,
MI is very very extraordinary IMHO...
But the lack of most of Creeds, that's imitate. for example:
Himalaya-XS, Millésime Impérial- Gendarme, Original Vétiver-Mugler Cologne, etc...
totally all of Creeds is better than equivalents.
the most of Creed is my faves.
10 September 2006

Bulgari Black by Bulgari

I think Bvlgari Black is masculin & not feminine.
Tea for Two is the best unisex fragrance for me but Bvlgari Black worth to have.
it's a bit like Body Kouros but Bvlgari Black is more refined than Body Kouros.
it is elegant & good longevity,, black tea makes it balanced.
i have always like tea notes.
07 September 2006

Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana

Each time spray it, it is different for me.
a complex fragrance & i think lemon & tobacco in this fragrance are dominant.
classic scent by Italian designer that's unique.
one of the most special in 90's.
07 September 2006

Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

Most of the Yves Saint Laurent are not for me, because they are strong & old. for example:
Jazz, Kouros, Opium, etc...
Opium is spicier version of Obsession by Calvin Klein,, very ambery & very strong.
YSL is great factory but i don't like it's products.
06 September 2006

cK one by Calvin Klein

CK1 & Truth are the best of Calvin Klein. at first is like Acqua di Giò & not interesting, but after a few minutes is like Bvlgari pour Homme, but Bvlgari PH is better & more complex than this.
longevity is not good.
totally CK1 is very ordinary.
06 September 2006

Desire for a Man by Alfred Dunhill

I don't like sour colognes and they make me vomit. for example:
Burberry London (the worst fragrance i've ever use), Dunhill Desire,
Desire Blue & Ferrari Black, of course Desire is better than the others.
is strong for me & very fruity.
Ferrari, Dunhill & Hugo Boss Products are like cheap colognes.
04 September 2006

Tam Dao by Diptyque

TAM DAO is only product of Diptyque that i tested.
it's of those specific perfumes that needs special taste and is not suitable for all.
those who tested it like it very much.
that first 10 golden minutes after wearing it is unforgettable and after then is still good.
it is not one of my faves but i tested it sometimes.

Notes:

Top Notes: Cypress from Italy, Myrte, Rosewood.

Middle Notes: Sandalwood from Goa, Cedar.

Basenotes: Amber, Vanilla, White Musks.

Tea for Two by L'Artisan Parfumeur

I tested many perfumes but i wear a few of them. which are my favorites such as: Hermès, Creed, L'Artisan & Serge Lutens.
my five perfumes that i wear usually are: (Himalaya, Gucci PH, T42, Terre D'Hermès & Muscs Koublaï Khän).
but i surely T42 is my smokey scent forever.

brings me nightmare. Touch for person have sinusitis is allergic.
another junky smell from Burberry.
23 August 2006

John Varvatos by John Varvatos

JV is a great scent. a mixture of Armani Code & Polo Black
but stronger than both, it's really sophisticate & elegant.
one of the my favorite woody-oriental colognes.
i purchase 125 ml forever.
23 August 2006

Signature pour Homme by ST Dupont

Signature is not specially, ican't stand it's synthetic sweetness. Signature like fruit juice.

Visit by Azzaro

One of the most unique scent although
i didn't like this. Visit is medicinal.
19 August 2006

Allure Homme by Chanel

Synthetic starting but after a few minutes becomes good smell. if you tolerate it's for the first minutes you have one of the best colognes.
19 August 2006

17 August 2006

Sentiment for Men by Escada

Sentiment is spicy-sharp scent. this is transparent in the base. master scent from Escada IMHO. i like peppery (lombock pepper)& fruity (Jackfruit, Apple)notes. Sentiment & Magnetism is best works from house of Escada.
