Hello, I am very partial to sweet smelling colognes and would love to have more, but I want it to have longevity and some good silage. Here is a list of some of the sweet ones I own already. Rochas Man, Body Kouros, Amen, Bmen, Escada Magnesium. Please make some suggestions, and if you have some for sell pm me please... Thanks

Hanae Mori edp is one of the sweetest that I've tried.
Creed VIW is also very 'sugary'

To all these great suggestions I'll add Lanvin Arpege Pour Homme (which can often be found deeply discounted at TJMaxx and Marshalls).

Deseo for Men is atomic-bomb level sweetness.

And I love it!

I think V pour Homme by Valentino is an option. It is at the edge of tolerable sweetness to me without going over (unlike Pi, which to me is sweet run amuck).

Others have mentioned Britto and Geir. I think those are both good options that are acceptably sweet. I think the same of Rochas Man.

I imagine you could explore the Lutens line for sweet, but they are more expensive.

Another popped into my mind: Paco Rabane's Tenere - a honey sweet scent. I think they don't make this anymore.

I find Caron Pour un Homme to be intolerably sweet, but I think sweet scents do not work for me...

IMO, the yummy frags below are all about Sweet, with other notes just for variety.

Lagerfeld Classic - Vanilla, opoponax and musk. Powdery, 70s sillage with tenacious longevity. My fave sweet. 5 Yums.

Jaipur Homme EDP - Vanilla oriental. 3.5 Yums.

Gaultier 2 - Tooth-achingly sweet but in a most beautiful way. Sweetly musky (or is it muskily sweet) unisex. Significant sillage and quite long-lasting. EDP-like. 4 Yums.

D&G Light Blue for women. Sweet heaven. One of the best.

Oh... and Hanae Mori Butterfly is lovely too.

Dior Homme is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt. Like eating pure sugar.

If you actually want something sensible and sweet, try out pretty much anything from "by kilian". Especially a taste of heaven and straight to heaven.

I recommend you try Parfum d'Empire Aziyade; it's sweet but not cloying; longevity & sillage are pretty good.

Idole de Lubin and Straight to Heaven are sugary sweet boozy scents

Sweet Oriental Dream and Vanilla Ecstasy from Montale for gourmand sweetness.

Caron 3rd Man for that classic male oriental sweetness

WOW!! I was not expecting this many results..I am going to check some of these out tonight. I am a 35 year old math teacher, so if I wear some classics the students say I smell like an OLD MAN... I try to mix it up (I have over 80 bottles). I really am very fond of the coffee, chocolaty, and sweet sugary smells that have great silage and longevity.. Thanks and keep them coming, also send pm's if you have some for sell.. I LOVE that I found this site..thanks ALOT guys...
