Gucci by Gucci pour Homme by Gucci

This just landed in stores here in Finland, so i sprizzed some on on my way to a job interview.
This was a disappointment beyond words. Simply boring! I could not believe it after trying out the new womens' Gucci. Even the bottle looks..well, as boring as the scent. There is nothing "gucci" about it. I can't even begin to describe the scent, that's how bland, flat and boring I found it.
I'm furious.

Dior Homme Intense by Christian Dior

As a Dior Homme enthusiast I did not enjoy this as much as the regular one, which was disappointing. Boo.

Versace pour Homme by Versace

This is by no means awful. It actually reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme Sport (silver bottle, not the new citrus one)! Very nice, even my sister complimented me on it. A nice fresh scent for the spring and summer time. Sadly, it's not a very complicated scent and does not last that well on my skin.

Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men by Giorgio Armani

Not bad by any means. To my nose is an extremely sugary, powdery, candy-like long lasting fragrance. If I was in my early twenties, this could be my thing. However, not a corporate scent by any means. I was positively surprised.

Intimately Beckham Night Men by Beckham

I was eager to hate it as it's Becks' scent, but I can't do that with a clear conscience. It's actually a really nice non-offendig evening scent, myself and others enjoyed it at my mothers birthday dinner.

Allure Homme Edition Blanche by Chanel

This is simply too lemony for my scent. The bottle is extremely nice and it sure is a "fresh" scent. I like the regular Allure and Allure Sport better.

Echo by Davidoff

I'll just admit it - I like this. Always have. Nothing makes me feel as clean and sharp as when coming from the gym, taking a long bath, putting on some white line clothes and spraying a few sprizzes of Echo on. I do however see why people dislike it because of its synthetic smell.

I could imagine the characters in the movie The Island-wearing this.

Millésime Impérial by Creed

This was my second Creed right after Green Irish Tweed, and is my favorite of the Creed line. I feel rich, important and even a bit important wearing this. The only downside is that it's not very powerful and perhaps even a bit "watery" at least on my skin, and does not last too good. Extra point for the very fine bottle.

Fleur du Male by Jean Paul Gaultier

I have nothing against feminine or floral scents, but this one was definitely a real miss in my case. Why? I think it's simply too flat. I feel like a gay florist coming home to cuddle with my BF when wearing this (and I'm not even gay, if you wondered lol). Sorry, Jean Paul. I tried. I really did.

Égoïste / L'Égoïste by Chanel

This is very strong stuff, but is in my books a definite powerscent for the confident male. Seems to last on my skin rather well.

Gucci Pour Homme II by Gucci

It's not perfect but there is something elegant and "expensive" in this one.

Dior Homme by Christian Dior

I fell in love with this one the minute I tried it, and I still love it. Really elegant and classy, and can be worn at any occasion. It even lasts long. My new all-time favorite! The only downside is that it might be a bit heavy for some people.

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

I bought this because of the hype and am a bit disppointed. The scent is really nice and all but doesn't really last atleast on my skin. I'll try the millessime imperial next
