LOL - So no more 40 or 50 bottles?
Anything new out there you have tried that is truly MASCULINE and not so femme with regards to a lot of floral notes, etc....Im not really looking for scents that are unisex here....Looking more for something that smells great, leaning more toward the masculine side of things, and more modern perhaps from a house that is virtually unknown or not talked about much here on BN...
One thing I have noticed is a continuous love fest for the same fragrances over and over...Don't get me wrong, I love them and there's a REASON they are talked about so much on these forums however, I'm looking for obscure, modern stuff that not many people know about or maybe a hidden gem that perhaps isnt mentioned to avoid it being "overused"...
Let me know what you guys think....I do these threads every now and then because new scents come out often that perhaps nobody has heard about...
Thanks again guys !

Aaah, I should have guessed!!!
Some recent "masculine" scents that I really like, that fly under the radar for the most part:
Puredistance - Black
by Kilian - Musk Oud
Parfums de Marly - Shagya
Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 - Black Gemstone
Acqua di Parma - Colonia Leather
Yves St. Laurent - Splendid Wood
Jovoy - Private Label
Current Winter Favorites:
1. House of Matriarch - Blackbird
2. Brückner - Aoud 1
3. Creed - Royal Oud
4. Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 - Generation Man
5. Armani Privé - Oud Royal
6. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
7. Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 - Mortal Skin
8. Ormonde Jayne - Black Gold
9. Creed - Royal English Leather
10. by Kilian - Cruel Intentions
Oud 777 by Stephane Humbert...very masculine and medicinal but noteworthy it's a refine version with tweak here and there of PdE Ambre Russe IMO leaning heavily masculine in the barometer.

"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Christopher Street from Charenton Macerations.
Available directly from them or Twisted Lily.
But another person's gem might be your fool's gold, right? There are plenty of scents with strong wood notes that most women would consider masculine if not hyper-masculine among recent offerings, so perhaps you could be more precise about what you're seeking.

I thought I WAS being precise....Not really looking for florals or unisex type fragrances. Really looking here for more masculine scents like woods, leather perhaps, tobacco, Cardamon but something I can actually wear hear in the heat...And I like I mentioned, I prefer unknown houses are newer more modern masculine scents that could easily be worn as a daily scent....
Hope that helps....

Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve my or other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
Just go buy you a good sized 4.2 oz bottle of Gianfranco Ferre for Man for about $25 on Fragrancenet and get a fantastic masculine cologne that rivals Patou Pour Homme.
No, I'm not kidding. Just take a look at the reviews of it here and on Fragrantica.

My most recent purchase, Santa Maria Novella Nostalgia, screams of masculinity IMO. It's a rich leather mixed with petrol, tire rubber, and engine grease that settles down into a birchy, musky, ambery, vanilla base. It's mildly weird and absolutely captivating.
+1 for Private Label!
Olivier Durbano- Black Tourmaline Extrait
Amouage- Journey Man
Masque Milano- Montecristo
Le Labo- Cuir 28
HOM- Blackbird
LM- Hard Leather
