Hi, new to the board but certainly not new when it comes down to perfume. Been into it since I was in the 6th grade when my parents bought me my first Tabac! After that,these are the perfumes that I have used, in a sort of order from maybe from 1985: Tabac,OldSpice,OldspiceMusk,Jovan,JovanGambler,Ara misOriginal,EauSauvage,DiorJules,Aramis900,Devin,D rakkar,YSLPourhomme,YSLHauteConcentreePourHomme,Po loGreen,Obsession,Fahrenheit,YSLKourosOriginal,YSL Jazz,ClarinsEauDinamisante,EnglishLeather,WoodsofW indsor,VersaceVersus,Zino,Basara/Basala,Antheus,Egoiste,CliniqueChemistry,PoloSport ,PoloSafari,Ckone,CKbe,EmporioArmani,JoopHomme,Joo pNightFlight,Dune,L'Eau D'Issey Miyake,PacoRabbaneHomme,Escape,Eternity,GucciEnvy, BiothermAquaFitness,MuglerAngle,BulgariHomme,Gault ierLeMale,CliniqueHappy,LacosteHomme,ArmaniMania,A rmaniBlackcode,AramisLife,AramisCool,BurberryWeeke nd.
So as anyone can see, I have my share of fragrance exposure. From all of these, the one that really struck me as "this is it, I love this,it is so me, matches my body chemistry,my demeanor,it lasts a long time on my skin(and on other people, especially the girls!!!!),people around me love it, girls love it(I mean unanimously,never met a girl that didn't like Armani Mania on my skin, they couldn't get their noses away from me!),I could wear it day or night,on hot or cold weather,what a scent!!!!!!!!
As you can see, I'm nuts over Armani Mania Man, I love it! I've been using it since 2002. Now the bottle is almost empty. I was searching for something new and I asked my co-workers,my girlfriends,friends and they all told me, unanimously,to get another bottle! I mean, there gotta be something better out there? So I searched Basenote and tried the following at the mall: Givenchy PH Red and Blue,Baldasarinni,Del Mar,LacosteHomme,BlackCode,M7,AramisCool,BurberryT ouch,LancomeMiracle,RiveGaucheHomme,V.IGivenchy. I tried them all with my girlfriends, and all of them still love the Armani Mania!!!! I agree, non of them smells as fresh and as the same time masculine,warm,sexy and comforting as Mania for Man. They said that it just makes them want to cuddle up. It smells fresh, masculine,warm and it exudes tenderness,just like me they said!!!!!!! My girlfriend loves it too, she told me to get another bottle, she won't even try other scents.
So for the mean time I settled with Black Code, the problem is that I have to spray it like crazy all over my body to get the same strength as Mania Man. For some reason, Mania Man lasts a long time, excellent sillage and strenght is excellent on me, definitely a head turner on me. Even if I put my arms around my friends, the scent sticks to their clothings, they told me many times that they could smell Mania on their clothings when they got home.Il love that!
After my extensive experience, these are the scents that girls love(and I love at the same time, which is rare):
Pre Coty Jovan Musk
Armani Mania Man
Armani Black Code
Biotherm AquaFitness(the best citrus!Why do they discontinue this?)
But as a whole, I've never gotten as much compliments as I did with Mania Man. Definitely no substitute, Mr Armani, please don't discontinue this aphrodisiac!!!!
Sorry for the long post, been looking around Basenote for a month, so this was long!!
Any substitute?
