[The_love]

Thierry Mugler A*men Pure Coffee
888 - CDG
Hermes - jardin

[Al7017]

Hmm, A lot of possible disappointments in there but I must admit I am curious about some of them;

CDG 888
Gres- Homage a la Dietrich
John Galiano
and Etat Libre d'Orange Tom of Finland

[primetime34]

Dolce & Gabanna the One for Men
Burberry The Beat

Don't know about much about any of the others. We'll see about them anyway....I like the Dolce & Gabanna and most Burberry scents.

[globetrekker]

For me;
Fendi
Prada
and John Varvatos for women since I am curious what he will come up with given his men's scents.
Of course the above will change once each fragrance hits the stores.

[MarkDavid]

Well, you asked for it -


Bond no. 9 Andy Warhol Union Square - Its like taking the stage to perform after Judy Garland(Silver Factory) How will it manage?

Burberry The Beat - Ive always felt that Burberry does well for commercial scents

Comme des Garcons 888 - I like the look of gold - will I like the smell?

Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men - will it be a huge, safe, over-hyped, disastrous bore like the Light Blue was? (probably...)

Etat Libre d'Orange Tom of Finland - I have my pre-conceived ideas for how this should smell. Lets see if they're right.

Gres Hommage a Marlene Dietrich trio - These could either be really fantastic or really terrible - either way - you can't deny - they're really ambitious. For some reason I see these as being either all winners, or all losers - I hope they're cohesive - it can be achieved, but can they achieve it?

Hermes new fragrance in Jardin series - very excited about this one. Love and own the first 2. Wonder which garden we've chosen this time...

Ineke Evening Edged in Gold - her first 4 were so incredibly boring but this one actually sounds like it might achieve something interesting - will it?

John Galliano debut fragrance - I wonder if it will be like the candle.

Manuel Canovas new fragrances - I liked what I've smelled of his so far...

Marc Jacobs Splash Basil - just the Basil one. I love Basil. I liked his Ivy and his Grass. They are what they are - if you buy them expecting complexity - then it must be said - you may not be all that smart.

Paul Smith limited edition scents men & women - Ive always thought PS released above average stuff - nothing terribly safe, Story was marvelous.

Prada male counterpart to Infusion d'Iris - I had no idea. And here I am thinking the first one was meant to be Unisex. I, of course can imagine many ways to make it more masculine - but I dont find it all that feminine - so Im not seeing the need for this. But, Ive always felt one can never have to many iris fragrances, so bring it on. I'll take 'em all. I hope it's not as droll as [no] Amber Pour Homme. Meaning - I hope the Infusion for men actually has detectable iris in it. Wouldn't that be chivalrous of them?

Rochas Soleil - because its Rochas.

Teo Cabanel fragrance for men - LOVE this line. Exceptional scents.

The Art of Shaving Lavender - I dont like Lavender. But I like this line. Great sandalwood.

[jamschrnly]

I don't know any of these brands. Please tell me the best perfume for men from these brands

[fredricktoo]

I'm always interested in the Salvador Dali's. There's a new one available in Australia now called Salvador Dali Black pour homme in a rectangular bottle which is a chypre and that should be here soon.
The most reliably appealing scents at Dali's house. I love em, Mrs. Fredricktoo loves them.

[squirrelmilk]

i went to a bloomingdales and went to the chanel cosmetic store-in-store and tried all the men's - complained they were too old for me blah blah...and i said " when will chanel make a new men's fragrance?" and she replied that they will come out with something for spring...
rumor? or just a lie?! ( same day i tested no 19!)

Jean Paul Gaultier2 and Juicy Couture DE

[Stereotomy]

The Mugler, the Prada, and the Rochas.

How can Bvlgari Aqua get any more marine??? Or do I not know what marine is?

I found some pictures:

Coming early next year from Bvlgari, Aqva Pour Homme Marine, a new fragrance for men:

The scent is designed to evoke the natural freshness and vitality of the ocean, using ingredients such as neroli, grapefruit, white cedar wood and the aquatic plant posidonia, a key component of its Aqva Pour Homme predecessor. The juice was created by Jacques Cavallier.

Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette

A more aquatic aquatic than Bulgari Aqua was? :brolly:

Okay, if the bottle/packaging says something: the original Bulgari Aqua was more of a dark, cold, salty, seaweed drenched sea. The new packaging and bottle is much lighter and brighter, so I suppose this one will smell just like some tropical beach with hot babes or something like that.

You know, like Acqua di Gio. :brolly:

[fredricktoo]

the above is listed as a new men's fragrance.
Aqua Pour Homme Edition Limitee (m)

on fragrantica.com



is the new Marine scent the officially sanctioned US Marines version?

semper fi

PS Sephora had an exclusive last year on Aqua where the juice was exactly the same scent, darker juice and the word Aqua was larger.

Are bottle collectors driving demand?



Aqva Pour Homme Edition Limitee
This limited-edition interpretation of Bvlgari's AQVA Pour Homme is distinguished by a new luminous color, inspired by the iridescent reflections of water.

Characterized by the chromatic contrast between the AQVA logo and the glass in a play of optical effects that highlights its unique design, this aromatic blend of marine scents is an exaltation of intense freshness with a woody essence that's suffused with mineral elements for a touch of sensuality and richness. Notes:
Mandarin, Petit Grain, Santolina, Posidonia, Mineral Amber.
Style:
Fresh. Elegant. Mascul ine.

Hm, I was hoping for something more exciting from Bulgari. The last past years were not really exciting from that side.

[Vivek]

Prada's Male Counterpart
A*men Pure Coffee
CdG 888
Dolce & Gabbana, despite the female version being a bit commercial, it's still very nice, hoping the mens will be similar to something wearable, but still different
The Tom Ford fragrance for women has me interested, as I hope it's got a unisexish vibe to it
and Marc Jacobs Splash Grapefruit, the Amber one is divine!

[LiveJazz]

American Beauty Beloved (based off the movie!?...this has me curious)
The Brooks Brothers ones
The Hermes one
The Prada one (will it also contain iris?)
The Art of Shaving Lavender

And Aqva "Marine"??? Isn't the existing Aqva marine enough for them? Maybe Cavallier will do something nice with it, but I'm not holding my breath.

[JaimeB]

The Fendi men's scent
The new Hermès Jardin series scent
The Paco Rabanne
Calvin Klein Euphoria Men Intense (January 2008)
Maybe the Prada, but I like the Infusion d'Iris just fine or me...

[Brielle87]

I am rarely excited about new fragrance offerings; they always are letdowns. The last thing that was actually rewarding was Absolu de Rochas, oh and Alchimie also. I guess the only thing on the list that might be of interest would be the Gres, Marlene Dietrich trio. But I am not going to set myself up for another letdown.

I really like the classic AQVA pour homme, and I also like light fresh colognes...
...but this new AQVA Marine to me smells very much like a cologne I smelled in the 90's, IDK which one, it's not bad, but very dissapointing given how great AQVA ph classic is IMHO.

I smell none of the seaweed/seagrass that dominates AQVA ph classic

Thumbs down on the new AQVA marine.

[somethinpositiv]

I can't say I'm excited about any of these except for the Prada, but I am curious about:

Bond no. 9 Andy Warhol Union Square (Spring 2008)

Comme des Garcons 888 (March 2008)

I just want to know how the new Ed Hardy Fragrance smells.
I´m waiting for the new Versace; Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men (March); Rocawear (Jay-Z) new fragrance under Elizabeth Arden (Fall 2008); Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine (early 2008).
But there is nothing special...I´m happy with my Creeds :-)

[Mostapha]

Euphoria Intense, the new Givenchy and, let me be the first to say, Davidoff Adventure.

[Just Patrick]

The Bvlgari Marine sounds nice.

[Magnifiscent]

Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men (March)---> Hope this one is far better than the feminine one, specially after the so boring blue pour homme.

Versace Pour Homme (Spring 2008)--->it's since longtime they'd need a great new fragrance pour homme.... the last nice one was the dreamer more than 10 years ago!

Givenchy Ange ou Demon Tendre - my initial impression of Ange ou Demon was "Mmm... smells like a Hypnotic Poison rip-off..." Now, the follow-up uses 'tendre' in the product name - just like the follow-up to Hypnotic Poison (Tendre Poison).

Now, that's taking the piss...

[ChuckW]

I'll wear the Bvlgari Aqva Marine tomorrow and give y'all a report.

Now, that's taking the piss...

Actually Tendre Poison was born as a springtime, less ambery and greener counterpart for the original Poison and was launched before Hypnotic Poison... Anyway in general I don't like any of these re-editions, or morphed formulas... To me all of them are just simptoms of lack of creativity and attempts of easy cash making.

Ahhhh, yes! It's all coming back to me now. I stand corrected!

Completely agree with you about those re-editions, though.

Please do. Make it elaborate and if possible, comparisons with the current Bulgari Aqua. Really curious.

[TwoRoads]

So far, I am not excited about any of the 2008 scheduled releases.

I have been happily exploring fragrance families and recently started exploring specific fragrance notes.

Although I have a number of 2007 and other recent releases, my interests trend to the old timers. The average release year for my collection is 1982!

[penelope99]

this is a great list!

from what i am looking i am looking foward to

Bond no. 9 Andy Warhol Union Square (Spring 2008),
Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men (March) for my boyfriend
