Hello, glad to be a member here.....
Before I joined I happened to see a thread with a lonnnggg list of colognes, classified into categories such as: summer, winter, day, night, etc....
Was looking for that or something similar, with multiple brands summed up in about one word a piece. When I go to FragranceX.com, people write comments saying a scent is woodsy/earthy/leather but someone else will say its aquatic/citrusy. Makes nooo sense at all.
Anyway, I have searched high & low for this fabled "chart" if you will - so could one of you be so kind as to sum up a couple mainstream colognes, I like hearing it from others for their application as I like & have multiple scents.
A few:
Gucci by Gucci
Gucci Guilty
Versace Man
Lacoste Essential
Diesel only the Brave
Bvlgari Aqua Marine
Bvlgari Aqua Black
D&G the One Gentleman
YSL Night
Bleu by Chanel
Polo Blue
Polo Black
John Varvatos Original

Thanks in advance - kind regards!!

Well, since I think classification is useful, I'll bite for at least some of them that I know...

Versace Man is kind of a sweet, floral wood. Odd.

Bulgari Aqua Marine is of course an aquatic, about medium in terms of sweet vs dry.

Bulgari Black is a bit desserty...vanilla, woods and rubber.

YSL Night is also desserty, a very deep, thick sweet woods with spices.

John Varvatos is a spicy, sweet leathery woods with vanilla.


Enjoy testing...in the end I just put together my own list of categories of all the ones I have.
