Reviewed by rbaker

A nice green top note develops into a good iris scent with a hint o light wood - a bit synthetic but all right. Gone after ninety minutes on my skin. Nice while it lasts and quite unlike others.

Gentlemen Only by Givenchy, 2013

An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.

YES! Finally this thread has been revived. It's a great idea IMO. I sampled SO much stuff over the weekend, that I honestly don't remember which I liked and didn't so, I'll have to check it out when I get home, then I'll report back.

Prada Infusion d'Homme. I don't find any particularly interesting in it. I think the original Prada PH is much more interesting and elegant. If I'll ever buy a Prada then it will not be Infusion - why try it again?
By the way, I'm sorry that firstly I judged Prada PH from a sample. From a bottle spraying it's quite different.
