Total Rubbish, and thats all I have to say about this

Escentric 02 by Escentric Molecules

The 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

A*Men Pure Coffee by Thierry Mugler

This 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!

Himalaya by Creed

I 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

Virgin Island Water by Creed

Versace Man Eau Fraīche by Versace

Smells like Raid Fly Killer!

Piper Nigrum by Lorenzo Villoresi

This 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.

Musc Ravageur by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle

This is by far the best fragrance I have bought! A classic superb smell, dark, luxurios and unique, but at a cost!

Eau Noire Cologne by Christian Dior

This 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!

Orris Noir by Ormonde Jayne

This 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!

Isfarkand pour Homme by Ormonde Jayne

apparently 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!

Ormonde Man by Ormonde Jayne

I 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!

Jaļpur Homme by Boucheron

an 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

Escentric 01 by Escentric Molecules

After 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!

Chopard pour Homme by Chopard

This 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?

Silver Scent by Jacques Bogart

When 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!

Eternity for Men by Calvin Klein

A 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
02 October 2006

Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein

A 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.

YSL pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

Woody 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

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

WHen I first smelt this it was just a revalation! A beautiful scent. More feminine than most. Fruity, claen Vanilla. Women just had to comment on this scent. ALas it has for the past few years everybody else has twigged! Youll smell like just another "wannabee" now. Time to Move on WOW factor was 10 but now 2! Just too Common!
02 October 2006

Lalique pour Homme by Lalique

This 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
02 October 2006

Sculpture Homme by Nikos

Alas 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

XS pour Homme by Paco Rabanne

A beautiful scent. Simple clean lines and great longevity, its a real wow esp with the opposite sex! Wow factor 9
02 October 2006

Catalyst for Men by Halston

One 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!
02 October 2006

Parfum Bespoke by Ozwald Boateng

A 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!
02 October 2006

Prada Amber pour Homme by Prada

I 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!
02 October 2006

Volcano Homme by Lomani

bought this on holiday whilst in Austrailia. It is a wonderous scent, when one considers the price. Very much in line with Antonio Puigs olfactory senses
