If you like Creed Virgin Island Water (I do), then Hesperides by Essenze di Mezzanotte (Italy) is cheaper, lasts longer and to my nose, smells even better

Himalaya is somewhat similar to Paco Rabanne XS (after an hour for about two hours). New Haarlem smells a lot like vanilla flavored instant coffee.

Hey Craig, do you know of where to find those online? I saw your pic of another from the line (beautiful!) and looked around, but couldn't find a site for them.

To justinmonty - grab a bottle of Rochas Man for $25 at a perfume outlet as an alternative to New Haarlem.

Hi jrd4t you have a PM. Mezzanotte is a very small Italian niche company and doesn't have a web site at the moment, but they do have an Italian stockist called MioProfumo.

Thanks for this info Craig! I, too, have been looking all over online for some info after reading what you wrote about them. That fragrance that you have sounds great!

I quite like layering Yves Rocher's Malaysian Coconut over Sean John's I Am King.

Its gives me the coconut and sweet tropical fruit accords I like during summer.

Great for the summer at a fraction of the price but I'm going to buy the Bond or Creed soon tho.
