Happy New Year to all. I am stuck on which fragrance to make my winter signature scent, Hypnose pour homme or V by Valentino? I have smelled both and both seem lovely. There isn't much feedback on either of these scents on the site, but I recall responding to a review on Hypnose and wondering how it could smell like a cross between Joop! and Farenheit based on its notes. Surprisingly, however, it does share some of each of the respective frag's qualities; the fruityness of Joop! and some of the mossiness of Farenheit. When I first smelled Valentino last year I found it powerful but not all that to my liking although everybody else I asked seemed to like it and i came across it again, and there is something about it that I now find appealing. I would love any feedback or remarks on comparisons of these frags or even on their own.
