Dunhill Edition by Alfred Dunhill
There is something about this fragrance that I really like. It's a very pleasant citrusy scent that goes well with my body chemistry. Every time I have this on people will always ask me what it is.
It lasts a long time, too. Above all, it doesn't change as the day goes on. Sometimes certain fragrances can actually give me a terrible headache, this never does!

Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men by Giorgio Armani
I tried it and unfortunately I don't like it at all. Too synthetic. As Andrew The Cologne Guy said...."it lacks originality". To me, it's common and ordinary and follows the trend of todays scents

Équipage by Hermès
Caltha describes this scent beautifully. Yes, "classy", very, very, "classy"!! It never goes out of style even though it is almost forty years old. This is one scent I never tire of. People always compliment me whenever I where Equipage. Basically, it is perfect for any time of day. Never "loud" or annoying. Subtle and rich.

Chanel Pour Monsieur by Chanel
In response to some of the reviews. Chanel Pour Monsieur definitely went through a tremendous makeover in 1989. I've worn this fragrance since 1965, when it was in its "original" state. In 1989, the concentre' version came out on the market. It smells more like CK's Obsession for Men than Chanel for Men. Later on the EDT was launched in Europe. That too has lost the fine quality that the original 1955 eau de cologne had. Why change a good thing?

Antaeus by Chanel
This has always been one of my favorites. It's in a class of its own. Yes, it's strong but when worn in moderation people always comment on how pleasant it is. "Timeless" is the best way to describe this classic Chanel fragrance for men.

Ô de Lancôme by Lancôme
This fragrance was in all of the lavatories on an Alitalia 747 flight to Rome in March, 1975. All of the woman (and men, too) were refreshing themselves with it. To this very day, I find this fragrance to be very pleasant and so European. It's clean, light, and reminds me so much of summer in the Mediteranean countries. I think that this fragrance is also ideal for a career woman to wear to the office. It's never "overbearing". Ladies, try it !

No. 19 by Chanel
Again, my comment on Chanel No. 19, is the same as for all of the original Coco Chanel fragrances......."timeless and classic" Definitely not for the common, ordinary woman. The whole thing with "class" is, either you have it or you don't.

No. 22 by Chanel
This is the fragrance that a beautiful, young, sophisticated bride should wear on her wedding day. Nothing can ever come close to Chanel No. 22 It's "class" put in a bottle. Either you have it or you don't.

No. 5 by Chanel
To me, this is still in a class of its own......Timeless!
Anyone who can not appreciate this fragrance should not comment on it because by so doing, you are actually disclosing your ignorance to the world.

YSL pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent
This has always been one of my favorites. It's very European (like me). This is a classic and still very much worn amongst the Europeans. Clean, lemony, and never overpowering. I think this scent seperates "the men from the boys". Always in good taste !

Bowling Green by Geoffrey Beene
Interesting fragrance. I used it for a few years. It was a nice clean, brisk scent for men. It reminded me very much of a more citrusy version of Drakkar Noir however, a bit more "lively". I preferred Bowling Green over Drakkar Noir without a doubt. Sorry it was discontinued.

English Leather by Dana
This is one of my all time favorites. I wore this back in high school 40 years ago (it was very popular then). To this day, I feel very comfortable wearing EL. Yes, I have more expensive brands but EL to me is always right for almost any occasion and any time of day. It is clean smelling and very manly. Whenever I wear EL, people will always ask me what cologne I have on. Many times, the "old classics" are more favorably appreciated than the newer ones (which are often very strong, synthetic, and over bearing). If you're a guy who just wans to smell clean and fresh, English Leather will never let you down!

Armani Eau Pour Homme by Giorgio Armani
Classy!! This "outshines" all citrus fragrances. It's in a class of its own. Never overwhelming and annoying. I dislike fragrances that "arrive" before the wearer (like some people I know). I think a guys fragrance should be noticeable only when you are standing a few feet away, not before you walk into the room! This is always subtle, pleasant, and fresh. You'll never tire of this one.
