Terre D'Hermès by Hermès, 2006
Reviewed by nyguy

I've tried this many times, I never understood why it stands out or sells so much. That bitter orange is repulsive and disgusting. This smells almost as bad as Guerlains Vetiver.

I don't like to factor in cost when reviewing a fragrance but for the ridiculously cheap price, this stuff is great! Smells similar to Armani Code but better. Might buy another bottle

Or Des Indes by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier, 1988

TVlampboy declared Or des Indes as the elegant richer sister of Bal a Versailles,( but not the older) This is repeated by other enthusiasts on on other blogs. It is spot on. Bal is Zsa Zsa and Or...

Let me first say that Eau de Kananga is a brilliant but not mind-blowing scent. Eau de Kananga, at least the Rigaud version, is not a feminine fragrance and in reality a unisex if not exclusively...

Garofano by Santa Maria Novella, 1828

SMN Garofano is a realistic and beautifully orchestrated carnation perfume. It is strong, spicy, and heady with floral overtones. Garofano is spicy, but not as spicy as Caron's Coup de Fouet. It...

I think i'm getting hooked to this board, and with colognes.

I am looking to get something masculine, warm and woody for the fall/winter here. I think i would like something that is subtle, but with good sillage (if that is possible). Though i'm only 23, i think the image i want to carry is classic, calm, and in control.

Suggestions, Gentlemen (and the ladies who post in the Men's fragrance section) ?

Chanel Allure Homme -- i think its good all year round but especially good in the fall. the drydown an hour later is great after some of the sweetness has burned off bc the warm sandalwood and cedar really shine.

CDG 2 -- wonderful in the colder months, not sure why but it is. its industrial/metallicness with the floral is one to snuggle up to

. . . and like everyone else said Dolce&Gabbana PH
