Guerlain Homme -- lime and minty, light and zesty. A very nice citrus scent, which reminds me of a cold and sparkling drink on a hot summer day while lying on the beach under that big umbrella....

Penhaligon's English Fern I think. That's the only one I've got experience with from the houses listed that's in the stadium with Paco Rabanne PH.

And Penhaligon's English Fern smells great too.

I don't really see the similarity myself. I retried Paco Rabanne recently after not having tried it for twenty odd years and was shocked by it. It smelled nothing like I remembered it.

Does anybody know for a fact whether it has been reformulated. I swear it smelled a lot better when I used to wear it.

And no, I don't think it's the passage of time either. I used to wear Pierre Cardin pour Homme around the same time, which I bought again recently and that smelled as great as I always remembered it to.
