Eau De Pamplemousse Rose by Hermès, 2009
Reviewed by noirdrakkar

This really smells like a typical Hermes fragrance. A grapefruit citrus opening that smells like your typical "eau de cologne" backed by peppery earthy grassy mineral notes. If you've smelled...

Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent, 2000
Reviewed by rynegne

The eucalyptus, cedar and benzoin creates a cool, dry fragrance that doesn't have the medicinal qualities usually associated with that combination of notes. A great price, I'm glad YSL keeps...

I have actually done something of a full 180 on this - the first time I smelled it I thought it was absolutely horrid, just a harsh saltwater and little else. I did give it a few more tries, and...

Lys Fume by Tom Ford, 2012

The name Lys Fume is only half correct. The lily is there, the smoke is not. No complaint, though. This is a handsome and well composed floriental. Lily is the centerpiece but other elements...

Oud Wood by Tom Ford, 2007
Reviewed by jtd

Oud tends to be the gorilla in the room in a fragrance that uses it as the principle note. Oud being both potent and distinctive, the challenge is how to make an oud-centric perfume fundamentally...

I have Unforgivable by Sean John (never heard to talk about, long time after i bought that i discover its a Celeb) and its not bad at all, except for the ridiculous lasting and shameless silage.
I saw some really cheap Celebrity scents, Usher, Beckham, Alain Delon (lol),those kinda crap things.

Theres something good at this line?

If you can find

Only for Men (1991) by Julio Iglesias, a classy citrus frag launched long before Enrique was taking over the celebuscent market, this is truly good value for money

Just judge each celebrity fragrance like any other fragrance. That's what I do. We all know the celebrity really has nothing to do with the perfume, except maybe picking their favorite scent out of a few options given to them, so why judge a scent negatively because of a celebrity face who had basically nothing to do with the scent?

Some are really nice, most suck. Of course, that's true for designer and niche scents, too.
