 | Green Irish Tweed by CreedI'm pleased that others have noticed the backnote (if that is the right word!) in this Silver Mountain Water and Creed Vetiver. It is chemical and eventually dominates all the good stuff in them. I've smelled it in Santal too. I don't know what it is but I dont like it. 7th August, 2010. |
 | L'Eau D'Issey pour Homme by Issey MiyakeWhen this first came out it was very unusual. It is now ubiquitous and the principal note that made it so different has been discovered by Axe/Lynx. THey are not as well done but you smell them a lot and this devalues this frag for me. But it has to be a thumbs up for being first 25th May, 2010. (Last Edited: 7th August, 2010.) |
 | Coriolan by GuerlainI always mourn the the loss of a unique whiff, if only for those who liked it. This was definitely a refined taste, powerful, sweet and spicy. Not my thing but different. 13rd December, 2009. |
| | Dunhill Pure by Alfred DunhillA nice clean just laundered smell with a hint of aquatics but longevity isnt up to much and others have done it so much better 5th July, 2008. |
| | Dunhill Fresh by Alfred Dunhillanother "me too" has that faintly smoky, mineralic whiff that pops up in everything Boss and Axe do as well as cheap deodorants worldwide. Definitely try before you buy but not for me. 5th July, 2008. |
| | Bulgari Aqua pour Homme by BulgariThere are just so many "aquas" out there This is as good as any and cheaper than most, but doesn't stand out for me. It gets a thumbs up for the price 5th July, 2008. |
| | Paco Rabanne pour Homme by Paco RabanneFantastically powerful and long lasting so apply with caution or no-one will be able to get near you! But still an absolute classic that has stood the test of time. If you search ebay it is remarkable how few used bottles are on offer compared to other famous fragrances. 5th July, 2008. |
| | Imperial Leather by CussonsMuch scratching around finally produced a aftershave bottle and talcum powder gift pack. I am sad to say it is very cloying and get up your nose stuff, which I dont like at all. I'll stick to the soap and have a squirt of Mugler's cologne or Dunhill Original instead. 5th July, 2008. (Last Edited: 7th August, 2010.) |
| | Dunhill d by Alfred DunhillA fruity woody and not unpleasant whiff but no lasting power Inoffensive and very average 5th July, 2008. |
| | Omnia by BulgariOn this lady this is so sexy.On others it could be considered simplistic and cloying. I'll try it on my wife. I think it needs a careful examination. 5th July, 2008. (Last Edited: 25th May, 2010.) |
| | Blend 30 by Alfred DunhillI return after some time away to say this stuff is still top notch power scent. You couldn't possibly wear it every day. I see the Safari comparison but this is smokier, pinier, greener. I may have just made up an adjective there!) 16th May, 2008. (Last Edited: 25th May, 2010.) |
| | Original Vetiver by CreedFor the money it should last longer. I agree it is a lovely restrained earthy soapy vetiver, the Guerlain seems a little drier and certainly outlasts it. I really like the Lanvin and that is the cheapest by a mile, bright lemony soapy grassy and lasts all day. 10th December, 2007. (Last Edited: 5th July, 2008.) |
| | Vetyver Lanvin (new) by LanvinHello Back with a confession. I still,like this stuff but agree that there is little vetyver in this more like Lanvin original, sweet and inconsequential. Every day splash on I'm afraid 10th December, 2007. (Last Edited: 25th May, 2010.) |
| | Vetiver by GuerlainWonderful stuff citrus, proper earthy vetiver, lasts well, all round every day stuff. I like it! 10th December, 2007. (Last Edited: 7th August, 2010.) |
| | Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur by Pierre CardinI've tried very hard to like this but I just can't get it out of my head that the topnotes are like talc and the drydown like Harpic. Sorry! 10th December, 2007. |
| | Mugler Cologne by Thierry MuglerI notice that no-one has actually owned up to "creating" Angel for men. Mr Morillas is to be congratulated for this lovely "just got out of the bath" cologne. (Not shower, shower to me means haste and lemon/lime/vetiver) this is all about soap, sandalwood and steamy mirrors, shaving soap and taking your time. I think Mr Morillas has crossed Palmolive with Cusson's Imperial Leather. I like it. 10th December, 2007. |
| | A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry MuglerSorry just thinking about it made me nauseated 10th December, 2007. (Last Edited: 25th May, 2010.) |
| | Eau d'Hermès by HermèsWhen I am feeling a little contrary I wear this to work. It is definitely unisex but in context it says "I had it last night" even if you didn't. I am a man of definite heterosexual persuasion and this stuff gets all the girls wondering which way it hangs. Interesting. 13rd May, 2007. (Last Edited: 25th May, 2010.) |
| | Silver Mountain Water by CreedVery nice, (damning with faint praise?) blackberries, cream and currant bushes, wears close to the body, but does only last 5 hours on me.At this price it should last longer, or am I missing the point? 31st March, 2007. |
| | Police (original) by PoliceCurrently eBay UK is awash with Police, original and I am very pleased I have got some.It is a slightly less mineralic version of Dunhill Xcentric, or a slightly more assertive version of Nicole Farhi for Men. It lasts well. Think rain on stones and blackcurrant bushes. 31st March, 2007. |
| | Horizon by Guy LarocheThis is lovely stuff, the blue, wet, salty cobbles soaked in pine needles type thing. As it wears off you do get a "nice ice" aroma. Distinctly male. 31st March, 2007. |
| | Eau d'Orange Verte by HermèsAs I said before It does what it says on the tin, Green oranges, big time fruit blast, clean, well washed male slightly earthy dry green citrus drydowm that nobody can dislike. Could prove attractive to a lot of l;adies! 31st March, 2007. (Last Edited: 25th May, 2010.) |
| | Le Mâle by Jean Paul GaultierThis love it or hate it stuff. I hate it. 15th March, 2007. |
| | Nicole Farhi Homme by Nicole FarhiThis smells like Lauren's Safari but with a touch of mint and much less of the pine disinfectant, a bit like mixing Safari and Paco Rabanne PH and missing the nose wrinkling bits. Understated stuff. 4th March, 2007. (Last Edited: 5th July, 2008.) |
| | X-Centric by Alfred DunhillI'm still wearing it It still smells weird (Police is reminiscent) and I still love it 4th March, 2007. (Last Edited: 7th August, 2010.) |
| | Brut by FabergéThere seem to be two kinds of review in this section, those about the "new" Brut and those about some different stuff from the sixties. 2nd March, 2007. |
| | Dunhill Edition by Alfred DunhillThis is still the absolute best, in a world where everybody (male that is ) smells of Issake Myake, Axe (Lynx) , Diesel, Joop or Fahrenheit, dare to be different! 23rd February, 2007. (Last Edited: 25th May, 2010.) |
| | Dunhill Pursuit by Alfred DunhillI'm struggling to say anything good, or bad about this. I just get peppery orange and am struggling to distinguish it from dunhill. 18th February, 2007. |
| | Marc Jacobs for Men by Marc JacobsStarts off like cucumber and watermelons 17th February, 2007. |
| | Dunhill by Alfred DunhillNothing wrong with it but the original is loads better. It seems like someone put some cucumber in there and then watered it down. 10th February, 2007. |
