 | RSVP by Kenneth ColeMy boyfriend has been wearing this lately, and I like it more and more all the time. The drydown is especially sexy and makes me want to bury my face in his chest. Masculine and erotic, it has an animalic quality that I love in men's fragrances. Thumbs up! 16th June, 2010. |
| | Asja by FendiA great spicy oriental which deserves to be more well known. Reminiscent of both Poison and Opium, Asja is much softer and easier to wear. Previous reviewers have described it very well, so I won't repeat, but I am definitely a fan. The bottle reflects the perfume's character perfectly, and it also allows you to display the scent without exposing it to light - a big plus. Asja is a must try for fans of classic, spicy orientals. It's getting harder to find online, but can still be had for a very low price. 30th January, 2010. |
| | Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint LaurentLove this in the EDT (I understand the EDP is very different, but have not smelled it). It's amazing on my boyfriend, drying down to a masculine woody scent with just enough vanilla to round it out without sending it into the candy zone. He wore it tonight while we were out to dinner, and it was just right--I'd catch a slight whiff of it now and then--perfect sillage. Wonderful masculine evening scent. 26th July, 2009. |
 | Covet Sarah Jessica Parker by Sarah Jessica ParkerSometimes yes, sometimes no. Really have to be in a certain mood to wear Covet. Occasionally it smells clean and fresh to me, but at other times the white florals and lavender are just too much and bother my sinuses. Be careful not to over-apply or it can smell like cleaning products! 24th July, 2009. |
| | B*Men by Thierry MuglerA*Men induces the same nausea for me that the women's Angel does, but B*Men is just right. It's drier and more masculine, with just enough gourmandy sweetness to make it a romantic scent. I really like this on my man. 24th July, 2009. |
 | A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry MuglerUmmm....no. This is just wrong for a straight man. Much too sweet and feminine--nauseatingly so, actually. Prefer the more masculine B*Men. 24th July, 2009. |
| | Euphoria Men Intense by Calvin KleinVery nice amber oriental. Sweet opening, but becomes less so as the vetiver, herbs, and cedar emerge. It's sexy and cozy at the same time. Long lasting. Masculine. Definitely one I'll want my man to wear often, especially during fall/winter. 5th July, 2009. (Last Edited: 11th July, 2009.) |
| | Jasmin Noir by BulgariWell behaved, classic-smelling, with a very subtle seductive edge. In keeping with the Bvlgari aesthetic, Jasmin Noir is not a "big" perfume; it sits quietly on the skin. Good for women who are looking for a sexy yet mature scent. Appropriate day or night, for most any occasion--it's quite versatile. Gorgeous bottle. 27th June, 2009. (Last Edited: 16th July, 2009.) |
| | Crystal Noir by VersaceScreechy, loud white floral. Ghastly. 27th June, 2009. |
| | Kenzo pour Homme by KenzoKenzo pour homme stands out in the genre precisely because it does not have that dreaded synthetic "marine" note. It smells salty, herbal, and slightly spicy. Very nice. Excellent longevity, too. Only eclipsed by Bvlgari Aqva--to me, Aqva smells exactly like the ocean, whereas Kenzo smells like a grassy field slightly inland. 14th June, 2009. |
| | Rush by GucciRead Luca Turin's positive review on this, and wondered if we smelled the same fragrance. I find Rush to be obnoxiously vile. I love a good powerhouse scent, but this thing is just a mess to my nose. C'est la vie... 14th June, 2009. |
| | CK In 2U Her by Calvin KleinBasically a trashy citrus/vanilla/musk, but I admit, I like it. It's friendly and easy to wear. The cedar in it is reminiscent of the original Burberry scent in the round bottle. Will undoubtedly appeal to teens and the college crowd. 6th April, 2009. (Last Edited: 11th July, 2009.) |
| | Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc by BulgariAs much as I love the house of Bvlgari (and Cavallier), I feel The Blanc is the most uninspired of the tea line. Smells like an average skin musk. It's not awful by any means, just doesn't intrigue me. 22nd February, 2009. |
| | L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme by KenzoSimple, refreshing citrus that dries down to an aquatic musk. Not a groundbreaker, but I like it much better than others of its kind. Topnotes are addictive. Though it's made for men, easily unisex. I like to wear it on hot days or when I'm exercising. 22nd February, 2009. |
| | Mira Baï by ChopardCasmir on training wheels. Not terribly fond of the overly-zingy bergamot topnote, but once that fades, it's a pleasant, sweet skin scent. The praline basenote is delicious, but the whole effect is VERY subtle. This woody oriental is best suited for warmer weather...would disappear in winter. Love the adorable bottle. Still much more fond of its big sister Casmir, though. 22nd February, 2009. |
| | Emporio Armani Diamonds Intense by Giorgio ArmaniI really like this one. Has more personality than the original. I'm a spicy oriental girl normally, but I've been searching for something more subdued and work-appropriate that still has personality. This fits the bill nicely. My male friend said it reminded him of a really nice cup of tea, in a good way. Gets sweeter as it progresses, but never morphs into candy, thankfully. I find it soothing and subtly sexy. Reminds me a bit of Still by JLo (perhaps it's the freesia?), but this is much better. If you like Still, chances are good you'll enjoy this one. 20th February, 2009. |
| | Prada (new) by PradaTo me, Prada is an "Obsession Lite". More transparent than Obsession (and Prada has more patchouli), but it's an Obsession knock-off without a doubt. I still like it, though, but the lasting power is awful. If I had to choose between the two, Obsession wins hands down. 5th February, 2009. |
| | Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin by Lolita LempickaIntoxicating and intriguing fragrance for men - there is really nothing out there like it. It has a BIG personality and LOADS of anise, so stay away if you're looking for something subtle. Some men might think it too feminine; it is quite sweet. Requires the right sort of personality to wear it well--it's not for everyone. Most certainly try before you buy. 3rd February, 2009. |
| | Dirty English by Juicy CoutureDirty English is old-school - in a good way - just like Burberry London. I love these leathery, spicy orientals on men. Very sexy! 28th January, 2009. |
| | Private Collection Amber Ylang-Ylang by Estée LauderElegant, comforting, and sensual at the same time. Doesn't smell like Gaultier2 per se, but has the same effect: warm, sweet, skin scent. Loving it this winter! 27th January, 2009. |
| | Pleasures Exotic by Estée LauderA clear, refreshing, green scent that I enjoy wearing when I need a lift. It smells clean without being soapy or using that dreadful "marine" note. Quite calming, too - I wear it when I practice yoga. Not a seductive scent; rather, it's great for the office and/or hot weather. 26th January, 2009. |
| | Un Jardin sur le Nil by HermèsCalming, refreshing, Zen-like fragrance that I love to wear while doing yoga or when I need to be transported to the fresh outdoors. So well done. Enjoy it much more than Mediteranee, which is too bitter. 25th January, 2009. |
| | Bulgari Aqua pour Homme Marine by BulgariAs much as I adore Bvlgari fragrances, this is a big no-no. MUCH too much of that overly done, synthetic "marine" note that I can't stand. Enough already! The original Aqva is fantastic, however. 4th January, 2009. |
| | Bulgari Aqua pour Homme by BulgariBvlgari nailed it with this one - this is the best aquatic I have ever smelled. I agree with previous reviewers that it does indeed capture the true smell of the sea - minus that awful, synthetic "marine" note (steer clear of the newer version of Aqva, which has this note in abundance). Classy, fresh, and sexy at the same time - well done! Beautiful bottle, too. 4th January, 2009. |
| | Blu Notte pour Homme by BulgariThis is a "mood" fragrance for me. As a woman, I receive many compliments when I wear Blv Notte for men - no one has mentioned that it smells too masculine. It's refreshing and rich at the same time, like those delicious ginger candies dipped in chocolate, yet the wood notes prevent it from smelling like food. My boyfriend wears it occasionally, too, and it is sexy on him as well. For those searching for something unique and eccentric. 1st December, 2008. |
| | V Absolu by ValentinoVery likeable scent for me...not a must have, so I won't purchase a bottle, but would happily wear it if received as a gift. Enjoy the original, too. 8th November, 2008. |
| | Rose Essentielle by BulgariJust beautiful. Feminine in the extreme, even innocent. Delicate rose mingles with violet and blackberries, giving it a youthful vibe. This is not your grandmother's rose. I picture this on a blonde bride, or a young woman lunching at the country club. Not a femme fatale fragrance, just a femme one.... 7th November, 2008. |
| | Sensuous by Estée LauderI really like Sensous. Doesn't bowl me over with originality, but it's a very pleasant, warm skin scent. It's subtle (once the initial pepper note burns off) and appropriate for most occasions. Similar in feel to Gaultier2. Nice departure for Estee Lauder. 3rd November, 2008. (Last Edited: 4th January, 2009.) |
| | Xeryus Rouge by GivenchyLove this on a man, even if a bit sweet. Yum! 31st October, 2008. |
| | Hot Couture by GivenchyMmm, this is nice...like a vamped up, more exotic Hanae Mori Butterfly. This is a fruity scent for a grown up, sexy woman. Must get a bottle soon! 31st October, 2008. |
