 | A*Men Pure Malt by Thierry MuglerAfter reading and youtubing this elusive fragrance. Rumors were abound of it imminent UK launch date around the 4th. I emailed Clarins UK (UK distributors) and Thierry Mugler customer Services. As all other requests, absolute NO customer service! I tracked it down on? eBay. At an exorbitant price! Nearly £80. I was filled with ancipation, it arrived and the words "you was dun up like a kipper" and my avatar name came to fruition. This is old wine in a new bottle. Or should I say old perfume in a new bottle. It lack the punch and total opulance of Amen. The smell in lay man's terms (I am not into drydown, sillage and gouramand.....terminology) is like you put Amen on 4hours ago, went down to the pub, its gone slighty stale and you wreake of whisky. However a good aged malt like Lagavulin. Peaty and smokey. However if you have the original Amen dont even waste your time. I think I amd going to pour myself a good malt and console myself. Doh just spent the money on the Amen pure malt. I could try drinking it! 6th September, 2010. |
| | Cuir Mauresque by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoJust bought this at a staggering price, shipped from France. I can say when a scent is overated you purchase it at your peril. The stoncking £100 plus for 75ml must be the waste of a day. Think of an old woman, powdery, thats how it turns out. It sarts of like Creeds E.L with a sweet scent. A hint of cumin. This turns into the old woman who turns up to your house and smells of powder! Not impressed. 1st September, 2010. |
 | Red for Men by Giorgio Beverly HillsAhh all about decadance. This fragrance is poerful, like a Lamborghini, hits you and knocks you for six. Umptious and the women just loved it. A tad leathery with sweet overtones. 15th July, 2010. |
| | Porsche Design Essence by PorscheThis should be called Ford Essenence, its absolutley abismal and total let down 9th December, 2008. |
| | Infusion d'Homme by PradaTotal Rubbish, and thats all I have to say about this 13rd September, 2008. |
| | Escentric 02 by Escentric MoleculesThe molecule and Escentirc just small like Indian josh sticks. If the smell is based on a certain molecule than that molecule exists in all 4 launches. To be honest I havent noted any effect and just smells like I have gone to some Indian temple. Utter rip-off and hype. This has to be one of the worst purchases of my life and a conspiracy theory in the making! Putting on ebay with no reserve staring at 1p after paying £70 for it. Sums it up 9th July, 2008. |
| | A*Men Pure Coffee by Thierry MuglerThis is basically Amen, if you want a better coffee fragrance buy New Harlem by Bond No.9, Then you can layer Amen original with New Harlem, then you will have 3 fragrangces at least. PC can smell vile, AMen if not used within the shelf life is rancid a bit like Creed fragrance. But basically save your dosh. It potent on first application and then Amen! Name says it all! 9th July, 2008. |
| | Virgin Island Water by Creedsmells like Malibu and sutan lotion with a hint of an Indian corner shop 7th December, 2007. |
| | Himalaya by CreedI have to say this is one of the best from Creed. I own so many fragrances, too many! But this one is the one I reach for if I want to impress! Never fails to either. Lovely clean and sweet undertones, typical of Creed. Costs a fortune here in England 7th December, 2007. |
| | Versace Man Eau Fraîche by VersaceSmells like Raid Fly Killer! 28th January, 2007. |
 | Piper Nigrum by Lorenzo VilloresiThis fragrance is one that is at its crescendo about an hour after application. Masculine and robust but I dont think the price really justifies this scent. 19th January, 2007. |
| | Musc Ravageur by Editions de Parfums Frederic MalleThis is by far the best fragrance I have bought! A classic superb smell, dark, luxurios and unique, but at a cost! 19th January, 2007. |
| | Eau Noire Cologne by Christian DiorThis smells so similar to Bond No.9's New Harlem. Chocolate, coffee and slightly green cedar. Its potent tho! wow you can smell it everywhere. However its not one of those fragrances liked by everyone. Its not my cup of Tea. YUK! 14th January, 2007. |
| | Orris Noir by Ormonde JayneThis s power and the Arabian culture in a bottle. I just fell in love with it. I would say its more geared to a woman than a man, but hey this is the 2000's and if women can wear mans clothes than i dont see why we cant wear something gravitating to them. Again price is a killer! 8th January, 2007. |
| | Isfarkand by Ormonde Jayneapparently Wallpapers, best scent of 2006. Not as good as her signature fragrance in MHO but still very nice. Price of these fragrances is steep tho! 8th January, 2007. |
| | Ormonde Man by Ormonde JayneI was just smitten when I smelt this, dark, robust and the staying power is incredible. Reminds you of Arabian nights, powerful and earthy. A calssic fragrance, beauty is not ever Kevin, Dave or Gavin is wearing it! Its like fab coloured suit, not suitable for those that cant carry it off! Wow factor is a 10/10! 8th January, 2007. |
| | Jaïpur Homme by Boucheronan absolute fantastic fragrance. I purchased it and put it on. I had so many peple ask what i was wearing. To the point that some of tham went out and purchased it. In the words of Victor Kiame, I like it so much I bought the company. I didnt but you get the drift! Beautiful, full of Eatern mystic, a headiness that invokes a liason in the night in Zanzibar. Class. This has a wow factor of 10/10 8th January, 2007. |
| | Molecule 01 by Escentric MoleculesAfter reading about this new wave fragrance, and grave reviews I went out and purchased this. Do yourself a favour cut out the middleman get your £60 and throw it doen the gutter. Cant smell it, no one elses can and the bottle doesnt even come with a cap. RIP OFF! 1st January, 2007. |

| | Chopard pour Homme by ChopardThis is the new age of how all perfumes are smelling, Like Prada men, and Euphoria, slightly sweet, oriental and earthy. It is like a refelection of Western Countries an infusion and takeover of Asian influences. Where are all the cowboys gone? 9th December, 2006. |
| | Silver Scent by Jacques BogartWhen I first smelt this, I though wow, its unusual. You pay top dollar for any perfumery in England and you actually want to know that there exists an apprecible aura of unmistakability of clean, fresh and someone who has gone out to anoint and indulge in a good grooming! To that end it is is all things to all men! A piano concerto of indulgence and smell. Highly intoxicating to the olfactory senses! A wow with women! Certain to get noticed and not smelling like the rest of the pack! 7th November, 2006. |
| | Parfum Bespoke by Ozwald BoatengA strange sickly sweet smell, for a guy who designs exclusively for men, its weird he produces a womens scent! I quried this and the response was well when a man comes into buy a suit we got to have something for the Sheilas'. I think that just about says it all! 2nd October, 2006. |
| | Prada Amber pour Homme by PradaI have smelt some fine fragrances. But this isnt one of them! The only kind thing I can say is nice atomiser. Utter tosh! Shame on you Prada! 2nd October, 2006. |
| | YSL pour Homme by Yves Saint LaurentWoody aromatic, soapy, smell the vetiver in this. Very green. Nice fesh smell. One of the first fragrance I ever had. Goes off very quick so use it or buy smaller bottles. WOW factor 4 2nd October, 2006. |
| | XS pour Homme by Paco RabanneA beautiful scent. Simple clean lines and great longevity, its a real wow esp with the opposite sex! Wow factor 9 2nd October, 2006. |
| | Sculpture Homme by NikosAlas hard to get hold of. A Minotaur clone but superb in its execution. Lovely fruity number. It smells clean and fresh with a touch of the exotic. Thats a hard act to achieve. Wow factor 9 2nd October, 2006. |
| | Obsession for Men by Calvin KleinA classic! WOt more can you say! Oranges, sandlewood, all the components for a 80s smell. A real crowd pleaser in its time and a WOW factor of 10 in the 80s. 2nd October, 2006. |
| | Lalique pour Homme by LaliqueThis is a truely beautiful scent. Its unique, clean and just smells like you are gonna buy something outrageously expensive at Southeby's! Very nice to impresse someone without the run of the mill fragrance houses. Sublime WOW factor 8 2nd October, 2006. |
| | Eternity for Men by Calvin KleinA truely remarkable scent when lauched. Simple Clean fresh. Daytime fragrance that could cross over into the evening. The amount of people who bought this fragrance after you tell them what your waering is a testament to it. But alas overdone now! Like A Men. WOW factor 8 2nd October, 2006. |
| | Catalyst for Men by HalstonOne of my all time favs! It envokes a comment wherever when ever. Lovely Masculine smell, smells very hedonistic, and spicy, cardom, cinnamon, saffron. But great longevity and sheer cleanliness. Rating with women is a 10! 2nd October, 2006. |
