Masculine but sweet - your best recommendations

[mrcologneguy]

Got a big sweet tooth for boldly sweet men's fragrances, especially in this frigid winter we've been having. I draw the line at Joop. Otherwise, looking for suggestions. Some of my favorites in my collection include Chergui, Creed Original Santal (no, it does not remind me of Joop), and Acier Aluminium. Prefer rich sweetness. Yes, I will consider some unisex and even female-marketed fragrances - but don't get too carried away with those. . . . not looking to smell like Lolita or your Aunt Lottie.

Any recommendations?

Do not blind buy any of these!

BUT--if you like sweet, my first impression is By Kilian Back to Black. A very sweet pipe tobacco in the top note and some say cherry vanilla tobacco. I do not detect powder. This is sold as a unisex.

A femme which may be unisex is Molinard's Habanita. A tobacco vanilla (with some powder) that is very pleasant and sweet. Habanita was recently discussed on the boards.

Finally, a mainstream scent for men, Diesel Fuel for Life. A sweet undercurrent all the way down.

I cannot think of a finer one than Jazz Prestige.

Costume National Scent Intense, Dior Homme Intense and Lolita Lempicka au Masculin are my three favorite 'sweet' fragrances. Scent Intense is a rich amber with some sweet 'berries' in the background that set it apart. Dior Homme Intense smells like apple pie dusted with cocoa and a glass of vanilla custard. Lolita Lempicka au Masculine smells like 'dusty vanilla licorice,' I don't think theres any other way to describe it. Id say Dior Homme Intense is the most masculine of the three - really worth a try in my opinion.

All sound very nice. Thanks for the recommendations!

Yes, yes, very good call. I own this one, EPD even. Rather tasty, I'd say. Very good recommendation.

How about Versace The Dreamer? I hear a nice sweet tobacco scent.

Haven't tried it yet, but found it yesterday in a local shopping mall store. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Big fan of Green Valley. Very curious about TF Tobacco Vanille. Don't know the others. Thank you, Mr. Dullah. Always appreciate your well-informed opinions.

A second for L'Occitane's Eau des Baux. A vanilla incense with cypress!

I dare you to try out Hypnotic Poison.
On the right man, it can be quite alluring!

[SillageMonger]

I just edited again and included Cadillac for Men EDT, which is similar to Arpege pour Homme, except that Arpege has a strong Iris note and Cadillac has a predominant Tarragon note.

I forgot ST Dupont Signature, another quite sweet, yet very masculine scent which is not so much like Tobacco Vanille, but more like a dry/parched, far more Masculine Guerlain SDV.

Burberry London for men
Michael for men- Michael Kors

[justaguy]

Habit Rouge!

[Master-Classter]

I'd rec some ambers. They're sweet but spicey as well. Try Opium Pour Homme, Tom Ford Amber Absolute
Bvlgari Black - vanilla + rubber
maybe? Serge Daim Blond (leather and apricot)

that's all I can think of for now

[arwen_elf]

Rochas Man and New Haarlem

[Antaeusintheair]

Guerlain's L'Heure Bleue and Vol de Nuit are beyond gender and fit your desires perfectly for sweet wintry scents. Both have that great pastry-scented guerlainade, L'Heure Bleue as a spicy-iris oriental and Vol de Nuit as a woody-amber oriental.

I find YSL M7 to be quite sweet in a very non-gourmand kind of way. And Michael for Men and Lolita au Masculin are great recs I would second.
