I current have

Versace Man
Burberry Brit
Chanel Sport

Honestly, the only I ever use is Chanel Sport though.
I really like the Prada (clear bottle one) though. If I ever switch, that'd be the one for me.

lacoste white
d&g light blue

Lacoste White [dunno if this is the essentials, its the newer one]
Armani code

does anyone know where i can get the best price on Chanel Blue the mid sized bottle? most places go for like $79 + taxes, and at the duty free they had it going for $90, is there anywhere i can get it for cheaper?

I use Polo Black daily, smells amazing and isn't too strong

Datsun 04-30-2012 07:30 PM

Bought this in a gift set with a travel bag:

Sweet smelling but wears off easily.

My other one is this, its a bit 'sharp' so I use very little of it at a time:

hugo boss no1 but i dont daily cologne

SkinnyPupp 04-30-2012 07:40 PM

I have used hundreds of fragrances, but the one I always go back to is Polo Sport.

Phozy 04-30-2012 08:17 PM

Hugo Boss Pure, hardly use it anymore.

Smells great, not too strong

I just found out last year that Sephora carries mens fragrances as well as other mens grooming items. Always thought it was just another make up store for women. They also have this fragrance finder program "Scentsa" which is a wall-mounted, touch-activated screen, sort of like a fragrance GPS. Haha.

Mr.HappySilp 04-30-2012 10:36 PM

Don't use them at all (less than 10times). I don't sweat a lot so I don't use it.

Also for some reason any fragrances smells will give me a headache for some reason so I avoid it at all cost.

yray 05-01-2012 12:03 AM

I used Givenchy very irresistible, summer fresh but haven't touched it since I bought it in grade ten (5 years ago). Also used Issey Miyake (The blue bottle and Intense), blue bottle shattered when it fell out from my work out bag and intense gives me headaches. Currently, I use Chanel Allure and Bleu de Chanel, Allure for special occasions and traveling and Bleu de Chanel everyday.

Maybe on Ebay, but beaware of fakes. Chanel is really strict in where their products retails, you never see Chanel products at sephora, heck they don't even sell it at sears anymore. 90$ is not bad, I've used half the bottle with 1.5 yr daily usage.

dlo 05-01-2012 12:27 AM

Armani code ftw

instantneedles 05-01-2012 04:59 PM

burberry by burberry... I love it but i dont use it everyday
Also got lamborghini

bcrdukes 05-05-2012 02:49 PM

Paul Smith London - by far the best I've owned to date.

Harvey Specter 05-08-2012 03:34 AM

I got a few but my fav is the Chanel "Bleu de Chanel".

SkinnyPupp 05-08-2012 03:58 AM

I have been testing out some new fragrances... Tried Polo Black today, but it's not really for me. It's a bit... dark... I don't know how else to put it, but while I like the scent, I don't think it suits me.

My wife tried the new Gucci Flora scents, and really liked them. Magnolia was really nice, and Gardenia was so sweet, maybe a bit over the top. Check those out if you are looking for something for the lady :)

StylinRed 05-08-2012 04:05 AM

still using my Creed scents and Givenchy pi

dont think those bottles will be empty for a long time yet

SkinnyPupp 05-08-2012 04:09 AM

Been looking for Creed in HK but haven't come across it... Hear nothing but good things about it, except the longevity. I just want to check it out! I guess Lane Crawford would be a good place to check? Or would you need to go even more upscale?

sonick 05-08-2012 07:37 AM

Creed longevity varies from scent to scent. Lighter scents like Silver Mountain Water or Himalaya have a tendency to fade more during the day.

That said, I'm about to get a big decant of Creed Aventus.

I really like Tom Ford Private Blend stuff, but its just too dark and strong for daily wear. Oud Wood, Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather (which notoriously supposedly smells like cocaine).

Sir_Loin 05-08-2012 11:51 AM

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather & Tobacco Vanille

PJ 05-08-2012 11:54 AM

Have a few, but my staple is CK One

yea it's really nice

for me, Cologne isnt about how it smells out of the bottle, it's the lingering smell it leaves on my clothes

I dont try to cover up smells etc, thats like my biggest pet peave is stank ass people, and even without any fragrances i'd still smell fine, it's about accentuating lol :fullofwin:
