Vétiver by Creed
This smell is incredible.
Very classy, and the dry down is addicting. I could literally smell it all day. I pick up the bottle in my room to smell it sometimes, and i find myself with the top near my nose for about 5 minutes each time!
THUMBS UP!

Green Irish Tweed by Creed
This has GOT to be one of the most magnificent fragrances.
Very FRESH, and the sillage is INCREDIBLE!
I have no more words for this fragrance. The smell exceeds the cost!
THUMBS............

ZegnaIntenso by Ermenegildo Zegna
LOVE IT! original scent, unique bottle.
The only problem is on me it lasts no more than 30 minutes. After that its completely gone without a SINGLE trace!!!!
If it LASTS on you, then GO FOR IT!!!

Z by Ermenegildo Zegna
Very plain and boring. Not a BAD fragrance, not annoying, not offensive in any way. Just, nothing THERE!

Guess Suede by Guess
A very sensual and fruity fragrance, much like Polo Black. The funny thing is that they were made by the same perfumer.

Island Hawaii by Michael Kors
Of course its going to be citrusy! All things dubbed a 'summer' fragrance (pretty much..) are CITRUSY! Too many tropical fruits in one concoction get very old and annoying; it seems like EVERYONE has done some kind of citrus fragrance--
but michael kors' newest perfume truly stands out! Its ideal for the summer, isnt heavy and obnoxious, and lasts a fairly long time! Sillage is mediocre, but the juice is amazing! It smells like you just got out of the water from a nice swim.. from hawaii!!!!!!

Essential by Lacoste
I love the whole 'patented time release technology' Lacoste 'used' in this fragrance. They're basically saying how how this fragrance is linear.
Longetivity i hear...is rather good! BUT not on me. I have good skin...MOSTLY everything smells good on me and lasts long..just not this one!
It has a NICE smell, but nothing strikes me here. Rather boring and flat.
Damn the Patented Time Release Technology.

Hot Play by Lacoste
Highly disagree! Smells nothing like RSVP! In fact, when tested hand in hand next to Isseys L'eau, the top notes smell 90% alike! Both have yuzu!
BUT-- issey miyake is a classic! CLEAN..CRISP...FRESH...
this dries rather boring and plain. Nothing to 'wow' about, not the staying power nor the sillage.
Thumbs cant decide whether it should be destroyed, or should be given another chance...

Touch of Spring by Lacoste
This one gets me! Lovely bottle, beautiful colour of the liquid inside of it. The smell is nice, but not what i expected. Its not at all unique, sure it smells good! Its not vile! But its just not doing anything much for me. Definitely for the younger group, not that i usually categorize fragrances by age, but this one----i just cant imagine it on a grown woman with a Versace bag and high heels. Call the juicy girls!!!

Touch of Pink by Lacoste
Not one of my favorites! Reminds me alot of Versace's Bright Crystal. Very PINK smelling. Very sweet, but smells great on a girl!
I like it...

Style In Play by Lacoste
A wonderful sporty fragrance! Very simple, fun, and easy going. Nothing to think about here, either you like it, or you don't. Its not a love or hate thing, its nothing like angel where its overpowering, and nothing like le male where its sometimes too sweet. Style n' Play is just right! Not a masterpiece, but definitely up there!

Versace Man Eau Fraîche by Versace
This is unlike ANYTHING thats ever been out! The bottle is magnificent, and the juice even more so! Eau Fraiche IS what its called! I love the lemon in it, and i get alot of musk in the dry down. The sillage is AMAZING! and the life is also! On me it lasts close to 10 hours..which is a great thing since most of todays fragrances evaporate quicker than app. time.
Thumbs LOVE it.. so does my dresser!

RSVP by Kenneth Cole
Way too spicy, the bottle is disgusting and the box even more so! I dont like Kenneth Cole's fragrances (except for Reaction), and i think this just did it for me. They need a new perfumer or a new idea cause it just keeps getting worse.
Yuck!
Yuck!

L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey Miyake
Look up Fresh in the dictionary... you should find some trace of Issey Miyake in there...
One of the most beautiful fragrances to date! Love the lemon and the citron.. Dries amazingly, maintaining its freshness, and lasts forever!
Alot of women love this, and its PERFECT for the summer!

360 Degrees White For Men by Perry Ellis
VERY much like Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male. Compared them side by side and found that they ARENT EXACT, but they come quite close. Le Male dries down with MUCH more vanilla, where 360 White dries more 'plad' and boring..a bit dry as well!
Prefer JPG 100%! It seems like they TRIED making Le Male... naughty naughty.

Silver Black / Onyx by Azzaro
Although i have gotten COUNTLESS compliments from this (and i think it is a great fragrance), i cannot bear to wear this anymore. The musk is too much for me.. and i feel like i smell BAD! I agree that it is a very sophisticated fragrance..i wish i liked it on me =[.

Visit by Azzaro
100% Nutmeg and amber! Thats basically all i get out of this! Very in your face! A bit obnoxious and 'mean.' I would never wear this, as it reminds me of Gucci PH, except for the nutmeg. Cant..wont!

Chrome by Azzaro
Very fresh smelling! I can definitely smell the 'metal' accord in there. I use this mainly after i work out. A little body spray and a tiny spritz of Chrome and im set! I dont think i would wear this to go out though; way too common and cliche. If i were to pick a 'fresh' smell i would wear either ADG, or Dolce's LBPH.

Dunhill Pursuit by Alfred Dunhill
Spicy, and a bit sweet. BEAUTIFUL bottle, interesting concept with the whole 'Pursuit' approach. The juice is nicely colored, but the fragrance doesn't match. It doesnt smell like the color! Almost as if Acqua di Gio was black! That wouldn't make much sense! What if Angel was yellow..or red?
Great developing scent, rich and smoky..LOVE IT. Just think the color should have been a bit different. Whatever though..the thumbs speak!

Dunhill Fresh by Alfred Dunhill
I have a grudge with this fragrance. The color is interesting; the bottle is heavy and masculine..and finally..the scent! Its FRESH indeed!!! VERY fresh...TOO fresh! Even Eternity to me gives off a better 'freshness,'..a more APPEALING freshness than this does. I think it is too synthetic smelling.. nothing you would get from showering, or swimming in the ocean.
ADG is FRESH...dunhill fresh just ISN'T.

Smells exactly, not a bit, but PRECISELY like coppertone. Go to the beach with a bottle of this..put it on your friends. They wont know the difference.
Yuck.

Euphoria Men by Calvin Klein
I love this fragrance! Its amazing smelling... very fresh! Its quite distinctive.. BUT..the fact that it lasts a WHOLE 30 minutes on my skin... deserves thumbs way down!!! Knock-offs last longer than this...

cK one Electric by Calvin Klein
I remember putting this on thinking 'this is gonna rock.' I heard of it coming out, and couldn't wait!
What a disappointment. Its way too zippy for me. This could be a perfect fragrance if you were wired on some energy drink. It seems very energetic but, again...not long lasting.
Ehh..i hate it.
Thumbs..down.

Eternity for Men by Calvin Klein
I couldn't imagine ever wearing this. Its a nice scent, but there are such nicer ones out there. I hear alot about this 'one note' that causes nausea and such, and i can most DEFINITELY smell it! The bottle is quite nice! It doesn't need a top, and like Angel*Men i love that!

I can barely remember what the stuff smells like. The only thing i DO remember is how much both I, and my co-worker, HATED this fragrance. Packaging is awful, and the name sounds like a joke!

cK one Summer 2007 by Calvin Klein
I love this years bottle, and i LOVE this years scent. Its toned down alot, and smells like a kind of pure citrus. I don't know why but the orange/green/yellow blended bottle is what the fragrance smells like! The only thing that makes me a little upset is how small the thing is, its puny! Other than that...
well..the thumb speaks!

Island Voyage by Nautica
Smells like a super cheap version of the original Voyage. Its ok, but it seems rushed and nothing during its wear makes me go 'hmm, thats interesting.' Very boring, but i can definitely see someone LOVING this.

Burberry Summer for Men by Burberry
Very light, easy to wear, and super lemony! Smell citrus throughout the wear of the cologne, and it feels perfect for a hot day rollerblading in the park. Recommend!
27 May 2007
Coach The Fragrance by Coach
If you close your eyes and imagine what coach would smell like if it had its own scent--this is it! True and classy! Its sweet like Juicy, but still very sophisticated. The bottle is gorgeous, with the signature Coach logo printed all over. This fragrance is a winner! Doesnt last very long on my friend, but she still adores it to death!
The thumb is an understatement.

Unforgivable Multi Platinum by Sean John
ALOT like the original except with a citrus accord added on. The bottle is ok on the eyes, and the bright color of the juice is quite nice. Back to the actual scent-- i like it. Hated the original, but the new note added makes for a pleasant smell. Sean John said that this is the 'luxury' version of his original but thats bogus.

Unforgivable by Sean John
Very cheap smelling. It reminds me of something you can find at a drugstore. Not that theres anything wrong with that; you can find Eternity, Angel, and even some brand new ones there...BUT.
I guess it reminds me of the ones that are at the drugstore cause they belong there, not because they're popular.

Allure Homme Sport Cologne by Chanel
When i first saw this huge 5 oz bottle, it reminded me of lemon juice. A 5 oz bottle of pure lemon juice!
It didnt exactly SMELL quite like lemon juice ITSELF, but BOY is it citrusy!!
It smells a bit like the Allure Sport, but with alot of kick to it.
It dries down nicely for the summer, not to heavy, but it is barely noticable after too few hours.
but 75 bucks is way too much!

Blu Notte pour Homme by Bulgari
I think i smell a bit of orange blossom! Words alone cannot bottle this fragrance! you have to try it! Therefore its most definitely a try before you buy fragrance!
Had many people buy it on impulse, even the 'we have a tester!..'
Didn't work; returns, yuck!
BUT! some, like myself,LOVE it! Its Clean and soapy and powdery! Reminds me SLIGHTLY of Prada Man.
nthny stated "in a romantic moment, do you want the other person thinking, 'baby wipes?'" ----which is exactly why i wear this only when im around ME, or someone that i KNOW loves it!!

Polo Double Black by Ralph Lauren
What an amazing spicy and creamy fragrance!! Sophisticated, and VERY easy to wear!
What i like about this is that it can be worn for any occasion; it is fruity enough to be worn in the day time, and deep and 'black'-like to be worn at night.
BUT! The only problem i have it REAPPLYING! IT GETS VERY ANNOYING! DB has mediocre sillage, but doesnt last very long! 3-4 hours for me tops.
Still, I LOVE THE STUFF!! AMAZING!!

I Love Greek Letters, but i HATE Pi! I tried to like it because i had two bottles of it, but it just never got to me.
I can smell something like vanilla covered roasted almonds!!
Blah, its ok. but..blah.
NOT for my skin!
Thumbs down?? I would, but its an ok frag.

I bought this for a friend of mine because it smells fantastic. Not thinking anything of it, i asked what she was wearing one day thinking it was angel, and in fact it was Euphoria!
A well made fragrance, complex, long lasting, and the sillage is AMAZINGGG!!!
Kinda weird bottle though, i dont think its very appealing.

Aramis by Aramis
An older gentlemens fragrance. I consider it to be 'old' and obnoxious, VERY heavy, and only pleasant after a few hours after application.
If i were older, say in my late 50's, id wear this definately, but i dont see myself wearing this anytime sooner.
BUT... For its time, i give it a thumbs up. Its very popular!

I love the green smell, like wet grass almost. About 10 or so minutes after applying, it smells like you came out of a longgggg hotttt shower (using irish spring). In the summertime this keeps the bugs off of me!
Amazing cologne, nice for...say...
BBQ? :-P

B*Men by Thierry Mugler
B*Men. Oh B*Men.
From the moment i smelled this one i knew it would be a failure.
Its sickenly spicy, not TOO spicy, just the mix of scents starts to smell a bit unusual, and unnatural.
BUT, ..but but but!
This fragrance is PERFECT for the fall season, and ONLY when youre outside all day! (I wore it when i went apple picking.. it fit the mood perfectly.)

A*Men Summer Flash by Thierry Mugler
This fragrance does wonders on my skin. You can smell the coffee, not brewed, still in bean form sitting out in a bag on a hot summer day.
The coffee aroma is very light, but it lingers on top of a few fresh notes. Kinda reminds me of pool water (chlorine) and some mint!
It sits on the second row on my dresser, and thats a pretty damn good spot to be in!

Gaultier² by Jean Paul Gaultier
The first thing that i thought, which i remember very clearly, when i got a whiff of JPG's squared, was 'wow.' Its SO rich in aroma, and is VERY sophisticated. No pyramid here, the fragrance is linear. The lasting power is amazing, and everyone seems to love it. A friend of mine who ONLY wears oils, and i mean NO exceptions LOVES it, and i have him on the VERGE of a purchase!

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana
This is one of the only fragrances that can ENTIRELY pull off what i like to call a 'citrus blast.' The top notes are heavenly, and from there on it develops beautifully! Fairly cheap, and one of the most commonly ripped off perfumes YTD!

Sicily by Dolce & Gabbana
Smells wonderful! My little sister wears this, don't ask how she pulls it off, she just does. It smells rich, and very elegant! I must say though, it is for older women.
However, a 16 year old girl came to buy No.5 just the other day for herself, EDP too, so i don't know anything anymore. Leave me alone ^-^

A VERY sophisticated cologne. Smooth, classy, and for an older gentlemen, although a friend of mine who is 18 wears it very, VERY well!
I tried this once, and not to brag, but most things smell best on me! I have good skin...but D&G's pour homme disagrees highly with my chemistry, and so it chooses to smell like a glob of musk and cedar on me!
Thumbss up!

CK In 2U Her by Calvin Klein
The ad: Sexy
The bottle: Unique
The smell: Cliche
There are a few things that come to mind when i smell the new CK In2U Her, one of which is CITRUS!!!
This fragrance is a Citrus BLAST!! Its VERY Zippy, and smells great on skin..
But my only problem is---
Its so cliche, I'm a little tired of the citrus wanna bee's.

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès
Someone suggested this a while ago, and i couldn't help but run into Sak's the next day and try it!
What a mistake-- I thought! The opening was like freshly squeezed tangerines! Not a bad smell, but not for me per say.
BUT...AFTER...
This has AMAZING sillage, i mean...
That night i was sitting at my computer and i said to myself 'what is that amazing smell'...
It wasnt my sister's reed diffusers..IT WAS MY HAND!!! The drydown is, just like aceyman says, a MASTERPEICE!! Can't explain it because i can't remember, all i know is i'm going soon to purchase a bottle!
Go try... you might not be dissapointed.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce's Light Blue pour homme starts off very light, and fresh! Its not as citrusy as i would have imagined.
When i heard D&G was coming out with a Light Blue for men, i thought of the womens in the original bottle! Its a lot softer, and not much sillage.
It dries down very light, and all i smell basically from there on is Polo Blue.
Overall its a nice cologne, SLIGHTLY citrusy, and good for my taste!

Fleur du Male by Jean Paul Gaultier
It is, firstly, a most DEFINITE try before you buy!
I had a big problem with all the posts on here, nothing gave me a good idea of what it smelled like. Gaultier's new creation is wonderful! It is a masterpiece and there is NOTHING else like it! It starts out with a BLAST of floral with Le Male lingering somewhere between the powdery smell. I wouldn't be surprised if all of the middle or base notes were Mint, Lavender, and Vanilla!
If you want a GREAT idea of what Fleur du Male smells like. Thing of Le Male with baby powder over it. Its soft, floral, and talcy! I love it--
I bought a bottle once i smelled it!

Hypnôse Homme by Lancôme
The smell is sexy, and VERY sophisticated! Woody and a bit spicy, wears VERY easy and it lasted quite a while on me.
NOT OUT YET!!! ...(sampling is the only thing seminars are good for! ^^)

CK In 2U Him by Calvin Klein
I tried this on thinking of all the other CK fragrances that i hate... (ie. obsession, escape, etc.) The only CK fragrance i can wear is Eternity Summer.
Thinking of all these failures from CK, i thought 'What am i doing!'...
BUT... this... smells like heaven!!!
The initial smell was a bit 'ehh'...
But after a few minutes it was a very 'white' clean smell. Kind of like SUPER SUPER GREAT SMELLING LAUNDRY! Non-synthetic at all! Great packaging as well!
DEFINATE buy from me!

Prada Amber pour Homme by Prada
A little too powdery, and wears off too fast. Not for my taste anyways...
But with 70 Gift Sets off the shelves in a month... i'm not too sure anymore.

A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler
A*Men is a little overpowering at first, but give it a chance.
AMAZING drydown, beautifully crafted fragrance, long lasting and attention grabbing.
SO worth the money... (though i get it free :-) )

Alien by Thierry Mugler
Every time i offer someone to try Alien (at my job), most of them immediately have their doubts, and start forming a negative reaction towards the scent. Alien is wonderful on the skin, and i go crazy when my friend wears it...it smells amazing on her.
Top notes of Jasmine, bottom of Amber.

Antidote by Viktor & Rolf
I can definately smell a hint of the mint leaves, and some mandarin.
This fragrance is very light, but still amazing in its complexity. Ive gotten many compliments so far from Antidote...if it were only a bit heavier and longer lasting.
