I am seeing a lot of "orange" scent comments, but to me, I smell a lot of Iris scent in it?

It actually starts off with a boozy, almost rum-like scent as you put it on. But that dries down to the most austere leather-and-smoky-vetiver I have ever smelled. I would swear there's a note of...

Love this scent! Great for summer, better for day, but good for night as well. I’ve worn it for 10 years and never had it go bad. I would say it is more masculine, clean and almost classic. I...

Pour Homme is very pleasant scent that once you apply, you have the clean and fresh showered feeling. I am a big fan of Salvatore Ferragamo fragrances and have many to chose from. Free Time has...

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! It's not heavy, and is more of a natural soap smell than an actual eau de parfum smell. If they bottled a bar of Ivory soap this would be it. I live in an...

I am the proud owner of these three powerhouse scents, and for the life of me i cannot decide which is more masculine- smelling.

So, fellow Basenoters, what do you think? Quien es mas macho?

Let the debating begin!

Well it ain't JHL. Â*
But Santos vs. Bel Ami? Â*Man, that's tough. Â*I don't know if I could call that one... Â*Okay. Â*They're both awesome, excellent, mind-blowing fragrances: Â*but Bel Ami is the more "romantic" one to me. Â*Santos is more the I'm-the-Alpha-Male-get-out-of-my-way fragrance. Â*So on that score, I'd say Santos es mas macho.

Interesting point of view, Coleman! It really makes sense

Santos Concentree is very, very dark and brooding, while Bel Ami might be the sexier of the two.

But IMO, JHL is one super-masculine frag!

Love this one -- but many feel JHL is simply a re-bottling of Estee Lauder's Cinnabar, which is marketed as a female frag. Â*My wife loves Cinnabar and I love JHL but truthfully, I can't tell the difference although I don't have a sophisticated nose...
