I have yet to try Reflection Man, I am trying to get a hold of it. That said, don't wait, just try the Avenuts. Its not like you're going to use half of the vial the 1st time... easily one of the most versatile scents I've ever had. Sometimes I've had a hard time justifying some of the more expensive colognes, but not Avenuts. Very clean and masculine and unless it is strongly over applied never offensive, I've received more compliments from that than any other fragrance I've had and it makes outstanding day time wear. I doesn't too well at clubs/bars because it isn't a "loud" scent, but aside from that great.
I too think they're over marketed, but if someone wears it well that should not mean they need to feel bad about it. I personally don't like the overly popular fragrances mostly because I like smelling unique while smelling really good.
Try these for starters
Banana Republic Black Walnut
Creed Bois De Portugal (if willing to spend for it, or can test it somehow)
Ralph Lauren Polo (the one in the green bottle w/the gold horse on it)
Drakkar Noir
There are others, but without going into niche brands or spending a lot on a designer one, start with one of those and see which one you like. Those are all pretty popular and relatively easy to find (except perhaps Bois De Portugal) and w/the exception of the Creed one they're all pretty affordable. There is a woodsy one I have not smelled and wish to try at some point, Davidoff Adventure. Give that one a try too if able.
Also for anyone that cares, I was browsing a James Bond forum/blog recently to try and find some info on some of the clothes Craig wore in some of the Bonds. Apparently one of the posters there worked at a department store in London that has sold a few bottles of Creed Virgin Island Water to Craig's "people". Take that for what it is worth though, I don't have direct proof that is the cologne he wears.

Anyone interested in trading something for a pretty much full bottle of Guerlain Vetiver (maybe used 15 sprays)?
I have Tom Ford Grey Vetiver and I don't think I really like vetivers that much to begin with so looking to get something else for it.

Just got these in the mail today
Versace pour homme
Polo Modern reserve
Samples:
YSL Rive guache
Prada infusion d'homme
The versace opening somewhat reminded me of Allure homme sport. But once it dried down, there were distinguishable differences between the two scents

Hey I'm looking for a cologne for summer something that you could wear daily. Could you guys suggest some? I have no real preference for the particular scents as I'm new to this so please hit me up with your favourites that fit what I'm after and I'll check them out.
edit: I bought some samples of Tommy Jeans by Tommy Hilfinger & Polo Black by Ralph Lauren to try a couple of days ago (haven't arrived yet) since dedorant just does not cut it.Last edited by sikbrah; 11-01-2011 at 07:30 AM.

See what you think of your samples, then go sample some more. Since it's one of your first ones, I would just go to the mall and sample some designer frags. ADG of course is one you should try. It gets a lot of hate for not being original, but it also is the best selling designer frag for a reason.
Other considerations include Armani Code Sport (actually quite nice I thought) or Allure Homme Sport, YSL Libre, or even Curve if you are on a strict budget. Women love itLEO

some good summer scents you can look into also are
Green Irish Tweed (expensive though)
L'Eau D'Issey
Polo Blue
YSL Live Jazz
Davidoff Cool Water
Versace Pour Homme
The live jazz and cool water are pretty affordable online. But if you're on a budget I would also look into nautica voyage, and azzaro chrome.Last edited by wampa; 11-01-2011 at 01:41 PM.

I own ENVY brah. I posted in here earlier about how it makes me sneeze for some reason but I friggin love this scent. it lasts all day it projects well and I dont smell it out on the street on other people. Ladies love it too. It's spicy and very unique. Less is more especially if you're going to be inside.

I recently got Aqua Pour Homme by Bulgari and like it quite a bit, its supposed to capture the sent of water, its more citric with some floral notes, very fresh and energetic.

I've also been looking for pure malt
So far I've seen it on Ebay. The unopened/brand new in box were going for $150-$199, and the used ones were about $120.
Another one to look out for is l'instant de guerlain extreme. I've seen it sell for about $120-$130 for a 2.5oz bottle on Ebay.

So no sites besides Ebay for this I am leery of buying from ebay as I've been burned on other purchases on there before and getting scammed over this cologne would seriously destroy my faith in the world during the Holidays. Repped anyways. Hopefully someone has somewhere else for a bottle of Pure Malt

I've bought 13 fragrances in the last month. Plus, some other bits and bobs. It's like an addiction because there are so many scents out there, you want to try them all.

Anyone own Burberry London/Brit? Which do you prefer?
I've done some research and have read that London has weak sillage/longevity. Looking to pick up one of these two for a winter scent.University of Michigan Wolverine. Go Blue!
Tigers/Lions/Red Wings

11-04-2011, 03:35 PM #9536
London was my scent of the day today
I agree that the longevity is pretty weak. Definitely would have to reapply after a couple hours. But the scent has a tobacco and leather feeling to it. A very good winter/fall scent. As for brit, it has a sweet scent and reminds me of baby powder.
I recently picked up this set at Amazon. It was about $55 shipped for about 3oz. Each scent is a 1oz EDT spray
