Tenere is the only one to have sparked any genuine interest for me. Eau de Paco and and Pour Homme are decent. The rest - forget it.

From your list, I picked Ténéré, but I think my real favorite is Calandre, which is marketed to women, but which I wear from time to time (but not to work). Check it out if you don't know it.

Paco Rabanne pour Homme (Vintage) for nostalgic reasons.
Ténéré, because it's a masterful formulation.
Black XS, because it's just plain fun and makes me happy.

about Black XS:

I kinda like it too it's strange people don't seem to like it more...i didn't choose it because i'd prefer PRPH but that doesn't mean it's not nice...
some people tend to think of it as the fruity floral equivalent for men but it's really not..only because it has strawberries it's suddenly unlikeable?

Hmmmm I think the issue with some people is not the fact that it's strawberries, rather the fact that it's SYNTHETIC strawberries, no different from a cheap air freshener outside, but I love the scent, I think it's a fun scent!

I used up a 50ml of XS in no time at all! I guess that means I like it a lot.
I really enjoy 1 Million and am trying to figure out what the hostility is all about.

XS is my favourite, closely followed by Paco Rabanne PH.

I've often wondered if Creed had put out XS instead of Paco Rabanne, whether it would have gotten the attention it deserved. Yes, it is somewhat different from Himalaya, but to most noses from a distance, the two are very similar.

I like Black XS too, but it has nothing to do with XS.

I'm still annoyed with myself that I didn't pick up the Extreme version of XS at the time.

Then there's also Paco, which is not mentioned here on the poll. I think it's an "unisex" scent -at least according to PR- , even more complex than CKOne and Not a clone -not that that's a great achievement-

Clean synthetic citrus, it's one abstract scent.

what do you guys think of it?

I think Paco is/was a very nice and cheerful frag. I liked it better than CK One. Generic by today's standard, but interesting when it was issued. Fresh, nice sillage and long-lasting. Synthetic, yes, but how many designer frags are not, really? I believe Aqua di Gio was its nemesis.
