The most bitter men's frags and why?

The frags that I find most bitter all seem to have geranium. Is this the most bitter note in common men's frags, or is it a combination of geranium and other things (and if so, what)? I'd also like to hear about some specific frags that are very bitter.

Thanks.

I think MPG Route du Vetiver has very bitter top notes.

I don't know if its the most bitter, but I smelled the new Gaultier cologne yesterday and found it to be incredibly bitter.

Bitter, you ask? Eau d'Hadrien is my answer. Its lemon and cedar accord defines the word bitter.

Are frags like Fahrenheit, Aramis, and Tuscany considered bitter? If not, what would you call the slap in the face and resulting migraine I get from them?

Moschino Friends Men is the most bitter scent I've ever experienced. I hate it.

Bois d'Ombrie by Eau d'Italie - to my nose it smelled like a steam room full of large vats of pickles in briny water.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport... the drydown is a bitter Cedarwood + Citrus combo that's somehow addictive to my nose.
