The 'I used to like' game.

So basically you say a fragrance that when you started collecting you liked, but now you've experienced more fragrances, you don't?

For me it has to be JPG - Le Male.

In my case it's more like having a good first impression then spending more time with them and growing tired of them. Examples would be Lolita Lempicka, 24 Gold, Fuel for Life pH, He Wood, Black Soul...

Adidas Classic/Classic Blue
Drakkar Noir- even if I still own and would even occasionally use the latter

I used to like Faberge Brut 33 long ago, but now I can't stand the sight of it.

Used to like L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake. Finished one bottle, bought another one. About half-way, I got tired/sick of it, stopped using it, and sent it to my cousin who wanted to have any type of fragrance. Good riddance.

I think I'm there with Polo Black. A few months ago, it was the only frag I owned. It made me feel sexy...bigger...stronger. Now...it just smells like water Obviously, I'm stretching it there, but my other frags destroy it.

I used to like Best Man a lot, but now I like it less.

Diesel Fuel for Life and Joop! Homme for me. Used to love them, but I really wouldn't miss them if they weren't in my collection now.

Anais Anais. In my defence, I was fifteen at the time.

I smelled Platinum Egoiste for the first time about three weeks ago and was blown away. I thought I'd found what I had been looking for. Was all set to buy it the following weekend. Sprayed it again the following weekend and let it dry on my wrist. Total turn around. It seemed suddenly harsh and overpowering. Complete 180 degree change of heart.

The Dsquared2 He Wood collection.

All i can smell is cheap furniture polish and violet in variable strengths.

I really liked all of them about 3 years ago.

New Harrlem and Tobacco Vanille. I don't dislike Tobacco Vanille as so much as my love affair with it has stopped.

I used to like Polo Sport a lot. Went threw 2 full bottles. I don't hate it, but I hardly reach for it now.

I used to love Joop Homme. Sadly now I find it to be a synthetic bomb. Boo Hoo! I still have a soft spot in my heart for the red juice.

Me too! I think I was responsible for their staying in business from 1995-2000. But the smell still evokes some of the best memories in my mind. I would never not have a little bit around. Thinking back on it, I used an embarrassing amount of the pink juice myself! haha good times.

Acqua di Gio, not at all a fan for the past few years.

I used to like D&G Light Blue, but I grew incredibly bored with it.

Carlos Santana for Women, fleeting, gives up all its secrets at once. No mystery, no depth.

Chantilly, which goes back to my teen years, and I really don't know why. I want to like it but it irritates my nose nowadays.

Good topic.

Pi by Givenchy. Too synthetically sweet. I still wear it occassionally, but get a headache when I do.
