Nothing You Haven't Seen Before (My Collection)

Sup, all. Here's what I have thus far:

Polo Blue
Acqua di Gio
Bvlgari Aqua
CK One
Dulce and Gabbana pour Homme

I used to wear Michael Jordan and Raw Vanilla (Cody). The former burns my nose, and the latter . . . why would I wear Raw Vanilla when I could wear Dulce and Gabbana?

Dunno why, but as of recent, I've had less of an appreciation for Acqua di Gio. Could be because a person I dislike wears it everyday without fail, but who knows?

I'm considering purchasing CK Obsession Night, John Varvatos, and Zegna. Anyone tried these?

I like the Zegna a lot. It kind of turns on my skin though. You may have better luck

Welcome Arkady.

Of the three you mention, Varvatos is the only one I've sampled. I tried it two or three times and while I found it pleasant enough, it just didn't "grab" me. I think the burnt candied orange top notes were a bit much, though I did enjoy the ambery leather drydown. I think its pretty good and a much better cool weather / evening out sort of scent, but since I had enough of those at the time, I passed. If you like leather, I'd recommend taking a whiff of Bel Ami by Hermes and Cuiron by Helmut Lang just to see a couple of other takes on leather. All three are very different and each with their own "fan base".

Happy sniffing.

You have a nice collection of light fragrances except for the D&G PH. I feel you need an Oriental for romantic occasions. You can't be wearing D&G PH all the time nor rely on the magical properties of AdG forever. That's why the Varvatos would make an excellent addition to your collection. Others i'd like you to try would be:
1. Jaipur
2. Lolita Lempicka
3. Perry M (not Perry Man)
4. Carven Homme
5. Casran Chopard
