**Misc Cologne Crew** PART II

[Mbalz-Iz-Hari]

This is what a 19 year old university student from Toronto smells like:



C'mon brah's, I'd love to see some more collection shots!

lol @ Rochas Man sticking out like a dildo.

Also, how's the Terre d'Hermes EDT? I have the parfum version, but supposedly the EDT projects better?

Pafum > EdT

Parfum is smoother, more refined, and clearly uses superior ingredients. Less spicy as well, but to an unexperienced nose the differences aren't as obvious.
Projection is about the same, the only reason I bought the EDT was because I managed to get a 90% full bottle for $50

Crazy to see so many with Angel men. I went to test it out today, omg stuff stinks soo bad.

[mskillaz]

Here's my collection

Mirin! You smell good brah

Crazy to see so many with Angel men. I went to test it out today, omg stuff stinks soo bad.

I think it's a top 5 designer scent, but to each their own.

[EMartNJ]

I can't believe how much juice some of you guys have. I have a bottle of GIT for the fall/winter and Green Valley for the spring/summer. It works well because they both have about the same base but GIT has that extra spice for colder months and GV is greener for the warmer months. Synergy, my friends.

spray it on your skin then wait about 30-45 minutes....I guarantee you will change your mind

[jfindon]

[stiffdogg06]

spray it on your skin then wait about 30-45 minutes....I guarantee you will change your mind

I heard the initial spray could be weird/not so great, but was really nice after dry down. I didn't spray it on my skin, so I sprayed it on one of those testing cards. I'll have to try it on my skin.

Also, does anyone know of any places that gives out "free samples" or any kind?

[tenaciousj]

When I first got mine it had a real spicy smell that was horrible, after I sprayed and wore it for about a hour it totally changed and smells awesome.

if you go to sephora you can get a few...if they can sense that you are pretty serious about finding cologne they'll give you more than that...just sunday I was in there and got about 10 different sample tubes...this was before I decided to buy 1 million

if they can sense that you're just there to get free samples you're only gonna get a few....but you could also get a chick that just doesn't care and will give you tons too

[wampa]

That list is the ones I've sampled and liked, was asking for other suggestions based off those Tried another 5 or 6 but they didnt make the cut.

How about these?


Creed Millesime Imperial
L'instant de Guerlain Extreme
Dior Homme Intense
Bond No 9 Riverside Drive
Chanel Allure Homme Sport

C'mon brah's, I'd love to see some more collection shots!

nice fragrance collection

It could have been the tar middle note that you smelled. But the chocolate/caramel dry down is very nice.

Just did a bottle swap for 1 million

[GabrielNovar]

Just bought Swiss Army Unlimited. has a very clean scent. Wrapping up my Prada, chanel, *****, Armani for a while. They all give me a headache.

[Jsmith1990]

Here's my collection

Mirin' hard brah, how is that La Nuit EDP? I liked how you listed everything, tomorrow after class I'm going to repost my pic and do the same because there's a bunch of bottles you can't see.

[Ben6485]

today I wore chanel allure and a few of the girls said it was too woodsy for them(the few girls that smelt it are not attractive so they don't count) haha I liked it though
took a shower and then put on guccci-guccci on one arm and guccci pour homme II on the other and like both...although the pour homme II smells more like a cologne for a night out....the guccci guccci smells like a daytime/work scent

had to spell guccccccci wrong to get it to show up...lol, BB.com thinks ***** is well...ya know

[Crestbrahh]

Try reading those. The ONLY thing that is different with mine is there is no accent above MILLESIME and I haven't looked into the meaning of that. His is a 2011 batch and mine is 2010, and he said there are subtle difference in older boxes. Everything else is spot on with the first link, right down to every aspect of the bottle.

[briiii]

Mine looks like that and I bought it from fragrancex. Don't think it's fake.

looks like creed changed the look of the box in the past year then

carry on sir

[TheCokeBaron]

I wouldn't sweat it. Mine does have the E thing though after the mL. But mine is a 2009 bottle so that may be why.

yeah they changed the box according to this thread

[soundcheck]

How do you guys alternate between so many fragrances? Do you wear them seasonally, or depending on the day/night? I have 3 main colognes, and ~5 small samples that I'd wear sporadically, but I don't know how I'd alternate between say 6 full ones.

edit: btw, i've gotten compliments for acqua di gio already and i've only used it a few times, bought it 2 weeks ago. great recommendation misc, i'm enjoying the smell.

Walgreens just sent me A3210K01

It smells very good just like any other batch ive had my hands on!

[wampa]

I'm pretty sure it's this one



The reason why it's similar is because Christophe Raynaud created it. He's one of the three guys (Christophe Raynaud, Olivier Pescheux, Michel Girard) that created 1 million. Many say it's like a watered down 1 million (with less projection/longevity).
