Which of these 3 Men's Scents do you like best?

Either on men or on yourself?

I could have posted this on the men's forum but you do have such better taste . . .

I refrained from putting "Other' as a choice, Â*but if you must tell me what a twit I am for not putting the original Â*( gone in 30 seconds ) Chanel pour Â*Monsieur Â*as a choice instead of the Concentree---or why Egoiste or Heritage blows these all away please do speak your mind.

Feeling a bit bored by my orientals andÂ*much too fresh and sophisticated for my own good,


Mario.


P.S.
Thanks in advance.

When I first clicked to answer the poll, Geir was a distant third. Now they are all three neck and neck. Â*Not much help to you, I suppose.

So wieghing in with personal taste:

Most Chanel fragrances give me an allergy/chemical sensitivity headache. And I am not overly fond of citrus. CPM is a classic, "cologne" style fragrance that mostly trancends time but gets many complaints for its lack of potency and staying power. Is that what a man -- or woman -- wants?

I have smelled Habit Rouge more frequently on women in the past few years than men. A bit sweet to me.

I think Geir Ness is literally a breath of fresh air. Â*More modern, distinctive and sexier (to me) than the other two, tried-and-true types.

I gave my vote to Geir, but I have never sniffed CPMC. I have a little sample of Geir, really like it!

Habit Rouge, but I only have the EdC and I hear the EdT is much longer lasting.

Also, I don't know why I didn't think of it in my last review of Habit Rouge, but if you're looking for hesperides try Eau de Patou. It's really a unisex- not just a women's. While it's getting harder to find, it's worth hunting down- refreshing, clean, zingy with a base of moss/musk/amber that's barely sweet. Lovely for the winter doldrums and even better in summer time when a breath of clean, fresh air is all you can think of. Also, everyone else won't be wearing it.

I suppose I am one of the very few who doesn`t like Habit Rouge at all. I think it sucks quite badly: Cloying powder with tainted vanilla twist, slightly rotten tangerines at the backround. Â*And leather??! You`ve got to be kidding!!

To me HR is very much based on Jicky, which I like a bit more though: Lavender saves a lot, and apart from that it has more clear animal side, which, at least sometimes, is quite seductive.
