Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

I can't stand it! Smells to like people in some of their most intimate places! I don't know what it is, but Timbuktu has it too.

Wear some pencil-shavings between your butt cheeks and you know the smell of Gucci Pour Homme! Stick to Envy, if you ask me!

Fahrenheit by Christian Dior

Ahh, this one is superb!
You can feel the fire burning, the smell of petroleom producing the heat and topped with those absolutely unique topnotes! It is intoxicating. This scent doesn't compare to anything I have smelled!
It is however, not something everyone will be able to love. But perhaps you are one them.

It needs to be mentioned, that this smell is very easy to recognize and to remember! In case you know a person wearing Fahrenheit that you actively hate, you'll probably hate Fahrenheit as well.

KiatBkk writes(see below): 'It renders me nostalgia.' - Well, me too. Just takes me back to the time I first smelled it.

A must try if you ask me!

Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido

Well, I guess it is just not what I had hoped for. Tried it several times, wanting to love it, but simply don't. It is complex, there are many notes to discover, but to they just don't fit together.
First of all there is no smoke (I love the smell of pipe tobacco - pure and burnt), what I get here is just tar and perhaps ash! Then ther is a very strong rose component and honey mixing in to this.
To my nose it is just too strange, not smooth at all!
I guess there is more to discover, not for me though.

In case you are tempted to order this one blind: be warned, you may not like!

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès

Traveller, beware!
You should definitely NOT BUY THIS BLIND!
To me it smells like some grapefruit dessert(smells somewhat creamy to me), seasoned with some pepper and then spread on dirty ground.
Has very strong sillage and longevity though (only sprayed once on my wrist and everybody smelled it).
In essecence: Try before you buy!

Chypre Rouge by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido

Wow, totally reminds of walks in a forest(pine needles),
pasta (must be the thyme), and well, candy.
Actually quite interesting, but absolutely unwearable!
