i like Chanel egoiste platinum, crabtree and evelyn sandalwood, that cannabis scent from Fresh, got some aqua di parma from my girl but i really don't like it, My Man by Fresh Scents that i think is hand mixed here in LA or something, also from her which is really interesting, however Creed Silver Mountain water is the Qualia of my scents, and i don't use it unless i have the need to impress lol i roughly equate it to like 2 bucks a squirt yikes!

This is a close second to "Victoria secrets very sexy for him 2".

if you like the Acqua from Armani you and any lady close will love this stuff. think about it for a second, how Can they be wrong with the intended market and products they craft and sell? I have yet to get anything close to compliments with everything else I went with before..

Hugo Boss Baldessarini Del Mar. Love it. Not too sweet, fresh but not too sour with a Boss-typical wooden note to it. I used to try out new fragrances frequently but have now happily settled for this one. Just bought my 3rd bottle last week.

Anyways, what works for some doesn't work for others. A friend recommended Boss' new "Selection" cologne to me, which works perfectly for him, but didn't do it on my skin.

ok, you´ve missed the carolina herrera for men, which my brother forgut on his last visit, the azzaro velveter, the armani is code, not mania, givanchi very irresistable,

the estee lauder, is masculine, its something i bought on an impulse, it smells like being fresh out of the shower, i can only describe the smell as clean,

Ah, gotcha... I hadn't seen that there was a version for men. There's a pretty big difference between the two!

for men--

Top Notes: Citrus Effervescence, Nectarine, Sky Air Accord
Middle Notes: Pimento, Coriander Seed, Red Ginger
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Iridescent Ebony, Deep Forest Moss

versus the original--

Top Notes: White Lilies, Fresh Violet Leaves, Green Accord
Middle Notes: Black Lilies, White Peony, Pink Roses, Jasmine, Karo Karounde Blossoms, Baie Rose
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli

It's hard to believe that they even have the same name.

I like the Jack Black because it's very subtle and unique. Women tell me it's very pleasing and not overpowering like many men's colognes. Not to mention that you won't smell like every other guy out there.

Ha! Have not tried the Black Mark yet...My wife loves Jack Black and gets me the Silver Mark for my birthday and the Blue Mark for Christmas. I love them too and the two bottles seem to do me just fine throughout the year. Will have to start dropping some hints about the Black Mark version soon

What do you want the primary scent to smell like; musk, woods, incense, gourmand ("edible"), booze, flowers, citrus, etc.?

The best stuff often mixes these different elements together, so you might consider what sort of combinations you'd like to have.
