Top 5 I think nearly everyone has had/worn. In no order:

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme

Calvin Klein One

Ralph Lauren Polo Blue

Armani Aqua Di Gio

Jean Paul Galtier Le Male

Davidoff Cool Water

If I had to pick one...to use forever. I'd have to go with CK:One It's VERY versatile IMHO. Never owned a bottle tho :oops:

I also love the fact that they bring out summer verions every year-which are all slightly different and not too mention the numerous Limited Collectors' editions. NICE

i'd say cool water, CK one is top of the list and not to mention perry ellis 360!!

but the 200ml version of the CK one...u cyar get a better beat out cologne than that!!

^^ u really think so?..i think it does smell slightly oriental but not outright...like more in the background, like when u inhale..coming to the end...but yeah, the women really like the scent..i goin and wear it tmr for spite..but the sprayer not really misty like other colognes... :mrgreen:

i used 212 today and i didnt like it, its a bit too overpowering and intense for me

the paris hilton for men, that smells nice imo

i still lookin for clinique happy for men!!...any of u ever used it?..whats ur thoughts?
and where sells tom ford or creed locally?
i've been hearing good things about them but never saw or smelled any

Nice Collection.

Give us a 'lil review on the Paco Rabanne X/S

RASC · Postby **RASC** » February 11th, 2010, 6:51 pm

I notice myself saying I will get this or get that...but I haven't bought a fart

I think it's because I've kinda gotten bored with the new stuff, and I'm starting to fall in love with the older frags. The "Classics" so to speak.

Right now I'm thinking of bringing out the Tiffany, which in itself is VERY hard to pull off. As it's almost exclusively formal wear. Anything more than 1-2 sprays in the tropics and you'd kill ppl. 2-3 max in colder regions...it's that potent-uber masculine kinda scent.

Learned this a few years ago when I bought a Perry Ellis 360 blue in Puerto Rico. Got another one locally and on the bottom of the locally bought one there was Perry Ellis etched onto the bottom of the bottle. The one bought in Peurto Rico doesn't have the Perry Ellis etched at all. I'll stick to buying locally.

nicholas1771, check to the bottom of your bottle and see if Perry Ellis is etched on the bottom. I have the PR XS, barely use it though.

My collection consists of
Kenneth Cole Signature
Beckham Signature
212 Men
RL Polo Explorer
Perry Ellis 360 Blue
Curve
Curve Kicks
Givenchy Fresh Attitude
Dunhill
212 Sexy Men
Christian Dior- Homme
Dolce & Gabanna- The One
Paco Robanne- XS
Givenchy- Blue Label
Lacoste- Essentials
Hummer
Burberry For Men
Alfred Sung Hei

Plenty of which I don't use. The regulars are 212, Lacoste, Fresh attitude, the one and the Beckham.

Guys got Bijan Men by Bijan...

Spice, Spice and more Spice :shock:

80's power scent, two sprays and you're good enough.

For Mature audiences Only...even tho I would recommend the younger set getting out of the "Aqua Fresh" kinda scents and being a bit brave.

Strictly formal...funeral only, possibly? :lol:

Yes it is, but if you're trying to get out of the usual...and by usual I presume you're referring to the mass-market "aqua-fresh" type scents that are being pushed everywhere-then why are you getting "Cool Waters"

That and AdG are the biggest "Generic" scents of today

They're not awfully bad, it's just that, you'll be smelling like everyone else.

RASC · Postby **RASC** » February 22nd, 2010, 10:14 pm

Tiffany for Men by Tiffany & Co. is quickly climbing up the ladder. If you want a Frag that smells like $MONEY$ this is the one for you. Very refined, never to be worn with casual wear.

Yeah good price. Scents you used to wear back in the day often envoke good memories...so Go for it.

What's the colour of the bottle? There are two kinds of "Creed Vetiver"

Creed Original Vetiver(2004) & Creed Vetiver(1948)

Either way, your father is a man with GREAT taste as both are excellent!

Ask him if he still wants it and pray he says NO...you have yourself a gem there.
The 2.5Oz. starts @ Â£123.00

^ but im pretty sure even if he uses it, the average person wont appreciate that scent...but give them some 15US fcuk or curve and they all over that!!

RASC, ah opened my Auqua di gio last weekend boy, i was a lil disappointed since i found i smell very much like 360 red.

mero · Postby **mero** » February 22nd, 2010, 11:13 pm

green bottle, black cover, its the 2004.
Strangely, my dad doesn't even buy cologne, he didn't even remember it was there, lol and d man brace me when i ask for it.

I actually DON'T remember how 212 smells.
Yes I know it's fairly popular, and yes I've smelt it before, but not anytime recently. My bredren has a bottle of this stuff, will sample when next we lime and get back to you.

RASC · Postby **RASC** » February 23rd, 2010, 11:12 pm

Decent haul today guys...after such a long while without adding. I've added 4 frags:

Bijan for men by Bijan(mentioned previously)

Dolce & Gabanna Pour Homme by Dolce & Gabanna
Boss#6 (Other wise known as Boss Bottled) by Hugo Boss
Bvlgari Pour Homme by Bvlgari
