My pick ups from your list would be

1. Visit - woody-spicy-incensey
2. Dolce & Gabbana pour homme - fresh, citrusy scent with balls!!!
3. Givenchy Xeryus - an old-time classic, easy to wear, business scent

The ones I have from your list are Visit and D&G PH and they are both among my very top group of favorites. A lot of people here seem to look down on D&G PH because they encounter a lot of people who wear it and associate it with trying-too-hard wannabe players, but judged on its own merits I think it is phenomenally good.

WHATEVER you decide, put Zino at the top of that list. Everyone needs masculine sophistication in their wardrobe.

Oh, IMO the other 2 should be Cuiron (coz it will be harder to find soon) and Visit.

Hi,

I am sorry If I sound a bit direct but how could someone choose something as personal as a fragrance !!!
I just can not understand If I was you I would choose it myself at the end of the day you will wear it !!!

Or is there a thing that I did not get at all ?????

It is like could someone choose a meal for me for tonight please.

foie gras
canard a l'orange
caviar
coq au vin

do I make sense ???

This is not a nasty post at all I just dont understand the whole thing !!

D&G PH- citrus blast with seductive tobacco basenote
Body Kouros- sweet benzoin basenote oriental
Polo Blue- "safe" and fresh cucumber fougere

These would make a pretty well rounded selection.

ah, guess I just wanted to know others' opinions on these fragrances, a bit more 'personal' reviews rather than the already well explored reviews section of this site.

Thanks for the comments guys.. another one I have in mind for an option, is Havana.. but I am definately leaning towards the Zino for some reason, and also the D&G

For my girl, I recently purchased her a 1.7 bottle of Dior's Hypnotic Poison.. we both LOVE it. I'm going to get her Halloween by J Del Pozo, next.

Cuiron--KILL ANYONE TRYING TO SNATCH IT FROM YOU!

Zino--anyone could always need another bottle of class

D&G/Polo Blue--so not all your purchases are heavier scents.

Well I just purchased a 1.7 of Cuiron for me, and a 3.4 of Halloween for my girl..

Now I'm bidding on the Zino.. can't wait, love this game!

Just what he said! Run, don't walk, to get yourself some Zino. And this is just my opinion, but Zino walks all over Havana; any day in every way!
