Desire for a Man by Alfred Dunhill

A light, sweet, fruity, smell. I made the mistake of buying it based upon the smell on the card in the store, and not on my wrist. It dried down nicely on the card into a light warm vanilla-musk base. But on me, like RockyMaivia wrote, it never develops into a warm drydrown. It stays sweet, which some people like, but I wanted some more of the drydown. A very unique scent though, so if you like a sweet fruit smell, go for it.

V pour Homme by Valentino

I agree with the first post. It is a great smooth smell but doesn't last long so you'd better bring the bottle with you! The "smooth" scents predominate, even in the drydown: vanilla-cedarwood-sandalwood-jasmine. I give it thumbs up because I don't believe the lasting power on a cologne, no matter how short, takes away from a good scent. C'mon people, some lighter smells just can't be loaded to stay on forever, plus it lasts differently on everyone.

Burberry London for Men by Burberry

Excellent and very unique! London has strong herbal-spice top notes and drys down to a warm wood-tobacco scent. It is not a sweet smell like a previous post stated. Sweet implies a sugary, fruit like smell. This is more of a green-herbal-spice that is very prominent for a while. If you like the citrus or musk or woods smell, this ain't for you.
