None of them; a nice, affordable, (kind of) sweet-smelling scent: Armani Code PH.

RL Polo Black is too subtle in my opinion..

i'd chose :
- Montblanc Individuel : sweet, great sillage and longevity
- Hugo Bottled ( no.6 )

cheers

I'll give those a shot.

I do feel that even though the Black is subtle, but it does have a certain presence which i like.
Red Delicious is sweeter and fruitier but it does not command the same presence.

I second Boss Bottled, and would like to add Carlos Santana.

I vote for Black, although you would probably find Double Black a bit sweeter and Black a bit fresher.

Another easily available sweet scent I would consider is Body Kouros.

I would also recommend the Mont Blanc. To me the DKNY is veryclose to Versace Metal Jeans and Kenneth Cole New York - in case you know those two.

Good luck!

I own black and think it's great. There is a fruit note but it's not cloying like DKNY, and well balanced with patchouli. Sometimes subtle is good. I like how it stays close and mostly wear it to the office. I think Black is the better scent, but if you're after sweet, then I'd go with the DKNY.

My vote goes to Polo Black. I own it and like it. On the other hand, I've only smelled Red Delicious from a store tester and wasn't impressed.

DKNY Red Delicious has VERY low longevity and sillage.
The sprayer also s*cks.

Polo Black smells to chemical to me.

Just buy Double Black.

I do find the double black even more subtile than black. I'll give it a shot though

They're just too different to compare, i tend to reach for DKRDFM so i'll vote for that.

I also go for the double black instead of the black Polo.
