So I bought 2 New Frags today: Envy and Guess Man

Envy was $37, it included both the cologne and the aftershave.

Guess man was $20

I really really like envy's drydown, it makes me keep sniffing my wrist over and over, I'll test drive it tomorrow, is it a sillage beast? I normally spray twice on my chest, once on each wrist and once under the ears; should I spray less?

Guess Man is more of a casual thing; it begins really woodsy on me, and then dries down to a sweeter smell.

I couldn't find Versace's The dreamer =(

I think I'll buy Kenneth Cole's reaction next, I want a fruity scent.

I'll actually end up using Guess man more, methinks, since it's sweeter and more "daily" IMO.

Envy is really, REALLY powerful; I've washed my hands twice already and it's still going strong.

On a side note, Don't you love the way topics work here in BN? they almost always get 30 views before they get a response >_>

You're on the right track seeking out Reaction to fill the "fruity" spot in your wardrobe . This one gets bashed a lot here, but I personally love it. It's just very rare to see someone say that they're seeking this one out. Good choice!!

I've seen this one kid in the locker room using Reaction. Never really smelt it.

How's Envy doing? I'm planning on purchasing some.

I'll give you a review tomorrow after I fully test drive it.

I'm not very knowledgable about notes, but I'll do my best.

If I were you I'd forget about KC Reaction. You'll have to carry your bottle with you everywhere to reapply every hour...
Despite of the name, Paris Hilton is the perfect choice for a fruity scent.

I have KC Reaction myself, I don't like it much. It's a pale reflection of other, much better fragrances.

Versace's The Dreamer is unlike anything you've ever smelled; it's powerful and very, very interesting, like what I believe a nuclear reactor would smell like if it used flowers as its raw materials!

I really, REALLY wanted to buy The dreamer, but it was out of stock and they did not know when they would get it.

I wanted it so badly =(

For the fruity, go for the new Euphoria Man. It gets no love here, but it accomplishes the same fruitiness that Paris Hilton does, but is much more well done to this nose. (The Paris Hilton drydown was much too cloying, Euphoria Man is much more palatable to me.)

I honestly cannot belive how much Envy lasts.

I applies it today at 6 am, 2 shots to the chest, one to each wrist and one to the neck. I can still smell it going strong.

I think it is my new favourite fragrance. I did not like the top notes at all, but after 10 minutes I LOVE it. This is truly a great fragrance.
