[Bones98]

^longevity sucks ass. Great fragrance, though

[xerbia]

Okay brahs, i got a pretty good amount of money to spend on a bottle or a few cologne. I was thinking something from creed, either GIT or Aventus... what do you guys think?

[ORKO]

Houston is hot and muggy, any suggestions for this summer?

L'Instant De Guerlain edt

This was a blind buy, so I felt like sharing my experience with misc, made concise as possible.


- Opening and First Spray -
Did not fall instantly in love with this since it smells slightly familiar. I don't mean this in the sense that it's not a nice opening, it just seems a bit 'old for me' almost what you imagine a classier 23 -30 year old would wear. Maybe the opening will suit more if I get shredded and dat jaw.
Definite woods and spice. Bold, but not obnoxious which I do like.

- 30 minutes on -
Opening has softened and this has grown on me tremendously within that time. Currently waiting for the patchouli and cedar to come in.

- 2 hours on -
It's quite sweet now. Slight patchouli - have to get right up close to where I sprayed to really smell it. Cedar is in as well. The scent has also gotten much softer. I can't smell any vanilla or coco that other seem to report at this point.

- 4 hours on -
Same deal as 2 hours. Died off at ~ 6.5 hours.

Go with the GIT brah, it really is amazing and it doesnt get all its good reviews for no reason

Have you smelled either? I wouldn't blind buy a bottle as expensive as the Creed line. Go to a Neiman Marcus or Saks 5th Ave and smell them in store for free, or order some samples off of theperfumedcourt or TheFatMan (he has GIT, Aventus, and MI if I remember correctly) before you make such a big picture.

Both are amazing imo, but you may find you like one more than the other, or you may find another Creed you like even more. If you are going to try out some instore or order some samples I'd suggest looking at: Millesime Imperial, Aventus, Silver Mountain Water, Original Vetiver, GIT, and Erolfa

If you are going to go the route of blind buying tho, between the two I'd say go for GIT. I personally favor Aventus a little more, but the general consensus is GIT > Aventus.

[hyoton]

Since I never wear OV, I tried to give it back to my dad who originally got it from frangrancenet, but he didn't want it and told me to give it away or something. So if anyone's interested and will make good use of this cologne I'll let it go for 110$ shipped. Lot number is A4010M01 and it's pretty much full.



Also have a 1.7oz 1 million that I've only used a few times that I'm trying to unload.

Thanks for that review. I've been interested in buying this one blind because I have yet to find a place that sells it where I could test before buying.

[Bones98]

Just ordered Jean Paul Gautier Classique X for my girlfriend's bday. Smells good man.

It's intended for fall, but it could pass as a summer frag as well.
She better get me Gears 3 or Play Intense for my bday.

Looks ok, im strapped for $$ atm.. How long does it project for etc, how strong is it on the skin and stuff like that? I recently bought 4oz of GIT, how does it compare to that?

[xerbia]

Okay guys I smelt some Aventus today, and I love it. Was gonna buy a bottle from Creeds Boutique to be safe, but a friend told me about the site that might be cheaper, ParfumsRaffy, what do ya think?

[Motocross18]

Hey brahs! I need a good summer fragrance. I'm on boats, beach ect. and need some good recommendations.

[Sir-Squat-alot]

Hey brahs! I need a good summer fragrance. I'm on boats, beach ect. and need some good recommendations.

If $$$ not a problem then id say, Creed VIW or GIT...

If $$$ is a factor then u could maybe try, dunhill blue (cheaper slightly nicer version of ADG imo), or polo blue? alot of guys hate polo, but blue is a nice fragrance for summer...

[Bones98]

Nautica Oceans, Nautica Voyage, and Nautica Blue are good.

GIT is probably my fav cologne, wear it all the time! If I put it on and go out for the night I can still smell hints of it the next day. I've only worn OV a few times but it seems to share similarities with GIT(maybe all creeds?) in being pretty strong for a lighter scent. I believe Thefatman has a pretty good review of the scent on his site also.

[Motocross18]

thanks brah I will check them out. I have GIT already, but i'm looking for something to wear daily. Have any of you guys tried summer edition by issey miyake? thoughts?

[masteroftheuniv]

Issey miyake summer edition is really nice. I get a melon/cucumber smell which is a lot lighter than the origianl L'eau D'issey on my skin, but it soes give me 6-8 hours on my skin as well.

Hate Aventus...atleast on my skin. Smells like rotten pineapple initially then the dry down smells like a gasoline covered pine cone for the next several hours

[Horse86]

[PetethePianist]

I got a bottle of Diesel Only The Brave for free (bro always gets free colognes from some girls he knows that work in the cosmetics department at a drugstore so he gave me it). I don't know much about cologne, but uhh... smells pretty good.

i really like this one... get tons of compliments, and was lucky enough to get the limited edition bottle that came out for Iron Man
