I don't like this one. There is a bottle of this stuff in my cologne cabinet for something, like, 12 or 14 years. It comes on too strong. It's supposed to be leathery but it's spicy blast of...

This begins as a strong "dirty" blast of sweaty musk (giving Muscs de Koublai Khan a run for its money). It calms down to a powdery musk after 15 minutes. Slowly a delicate rose note...

A real classy one. Matches well with the foreverness of summer in the tropics. Love the dry down. Stays long in ur skin. Love this Juize.

I like Hanae Hori H.M. and I get excellent feedback if I wear it on a date... but I can't help thinking there must be something kind of similar, more or less, that I'd love.

Can you point me in the direction of scents I should try? Thanks! And happy new year!

There is nothing like HM. If there were, it wouldn't be better. HM is a masterpiece and is perfectly made. Plus it's cheaply priced and lasts forever, so what more could you want?

Can't think of anything similar, sorry. This is a terrible fragrance IMO. Unbearably sweet and synthetic lemon. Last time I wore it, I think it gave me a cavity.

I'm with you on this one JH. This stuff is horrible IMO. If there is something out there similar, let me know so I won't buy it. I'm serious! For those who enjoy it, no disrepect. Enjoy!
