Acqua di Parma Colonia by Acqua di Parma

After having read and cosidered the myriad of pros and cons provided on Basenotes, I sought a sample to test AdPC. I was unable to find a sample and decided to (gulp) purchase a bottle. I rarely engage in such a radical manner any longer (at least since buying GIT from Creed and absolutely hating it!). My bottle of Colonia arrived and I anxiously applied it to my arm in the hopes of finding it decent. I did not. I waited several days to apply it on a weekend so that I could hide if I found it truly bad. Shockingly, I did not. I was intrigued. This was the type of scent I was looking for when I began seeking out fragrances years ago. This was a masculing scent that was subtle and wonderful at the same time. My wife actuallly asked what I was wearing! I have found a winner! I am a big AdP Colonia fan and highly recommend it to all for day and night. This is a classy scent that would work well on a hot Summer night or a cold business dinner. Longevity has been fine (7-8 hours) and sillage is perfect for me-close contact is rewarded. Try this scent!

Kenneth Cole New York Men by Kenneth Cole

I was suprised to not just like this scent, but to actually strongly enjoy it! On me and to me it smells like a lime/leather combo that I like bery much and have received many compliments on. Not much sillage on me,which is fine by me, but long lasting and remarkable. I have actually purchased several bottles since I no longer see it on the KC web site. Have not tried any other KC scents, but truly like this one and strongly recommend it as an every day scent.

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

Badly over rated. I do not understand the cult of Creed. Expensive and stong smelling are the best you can say about GIT and most Creed scents.
