Armani Code / Black Code by Giorgio Armani, 2004
Reviewed by craquelure

I tried spraying Armani Code in a breezy spring night for the first time (2013). The leather scent is prominent throughout its life but it is not that strong to make it too cloying due to its...

Armani Eau Pour Homme by Giorgio Armani, 1984
Reviewed by Omega1185

It pains me to give this frag a bad rating because I really wanted to like it, and it does smell nice, but it simply does not last. I tried it three times, the last time I used several sprays and...

Dior Homme Intense by Christian Dior, 2007
Reviewed by nyguy

I gave it 3 stars just for longevity and projection (which is amazing), this thing lasts forever.. Sprayed it a few times/several days and just couldn't understand the hype behind it. I like...

Sel De Vetiver by Different Company, 2006
Reviewed by Buysblind

Sel de Vetiver opens with a grapefruit note that is sweet, watery, and marked by an odd salty quality that makes it completely unique. If that's all the scent did, and it just lasted like that...

Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême by Chanel, 2012
Reviewed by mlsweeney

I was pleasantly surprised with the fragrance when I compared it to Allure Homme Sport. I think it beat AHS by a lot and was an easy purchase at the mall. I'm a big fan of tonka bean though so...

Hey Basenoters! I'm just turned 15 but I think I'm starting a nice little perfume collection

I sort of want atleast one of each (citrus, woods, oriental, etc) fragrance so I can switch off.

So far I have..

Just Me for Men by Paris Hilton
Rochas Man
D&G
Acqua Di Gio (I know I know, it was my first cologne)
Just Me for Women by Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton for Men
Burberry Brit
Abercrombie&Fitch Fierce (was a gift)

So can you sort of tell me where to use my fragrances and where not to? Also what could I use? Right now I really want to purchase VI by Givenchy (love that scent!!) and the new Burberry London.

My advice.............don't acquire more than you will use. It really looks like you have started off well and I don't see anything missing except for a "woody" fragrance and I'm not sure which one I would recommend for a 15 year old. I'm sure others will chime in.

No collection is complete without Fahrenheit IMHO.

It's the only fragrance I've found (so far) that marks you out as 'a sexy monsieur' without killing everyone within 15 feet with a musk overload

edit - Ah, just noticed that you're 15! Well, when you turn 18, get yourself some Fahrenheit

edit edit - When I was your age I wore Armani eau Pour Homme, Drakkar Noir amd Jazz. Kind of heady for my age, but I was known for being a deep and arty old soul. This was only 15 years ago, so I'm not sure if preferences have changed that much. Colors by Benetton used to be a favourite as well.
