Hate to be a philistine because the other fragrances I tried from this brand absolutely blew me away and I consider them to be brilliant. This to me smells exactly like the smell when you walk into a carpet shop. Not that that's a bad smell...just a weird thing to want to smell like. I suspect the dry down is better and reveals more but I couldn't get past that opening.

Well the first time I tried this I promise you it smelled like a carpet shop I even had my girlfriend smell it and when asked what it reminded her of without prompting she said 'A carpet shop.' So I'd had my first review validated... to a degree. I have to say I've worn a healthy application of this juice a couple of times now...so a fair trial one would imagine. And I've concluded it doesn't smell like a carpet shop. Honour man is remarkably fresh, I get a floral pink peppery, mild incense nothing heavy or jarring in here and it's nice, and reasonably powerful. That is all though, I didn't get monstrous longevity or the power you get from the likes of the recent Interlude. This to me is a more palatable version of Fate, if you like the general middle eastern lite TM feel of Amouage scents but don't want a powerhouse of woods and density then this would be a good choice.

This is HEAVENLY!!! Fruity berries, with musk behind and you get the hint of tea too! Simply stunning, spellbinding freshness... Definitely evokes the fresh mountain stream. I was reluctant to blind buy as I'd read reviews that it was a disappointing effort from Creed... And similar to Himalaya (which it really isn't) My personal taste says this is my favourite from the house and I must have it! Just reaffirms in my mind that you should always try a fragrance (of course) and that there's no accounting for taste. One thing I've learned is that Creed is synonymous with quality.

Just to complete the recent U turns I've been making with regard to fragrances I either didn't like or was on the fence about. This was probably the latter as its very classic male scent with citrus & herbs in perfect measure but failed to inspire me. However having worn it and experienced the dry down I have to say I'm totally converted. It's another classic case of Dior making fragrances that have depth enough to challenge and conflict your senses. This isn't my favourite by any means and I'm not going to rush to add it to my collection but as my tastes change I might well do that? The point is...I get what the fuss is about now.

My oh my!!! This stuff may well be a classic and I've nothing against old Skool fragrances when men smelled like men...even the likes of Fabergé Brut ÜBER Butch! I genuinely couldn't stop choking though from one small spray to my wrist, awful and far too much! That being said I respect people who like it and it's status. Also it probably is very well put together just not my cup of tea something about it that doesn't sit right.

A really well executed alternate version of aqva. The original managed to evoke a lovely aquatic accord using cool citrus & fruity notes. This one is obviously similar to the original but cleverly delves deeper into the abyss with more saltiness and seaweed vibes. The watery notes are somehow evoke the feeling of deeper water which fulfils the brief and the name Marine. The Aqva Toniq I have is extremely salty and not quite as pleasant as these. I think the saltiness is just right on this one and I can't choose between Aqva and Aqva Marine as they are both great.

Ahhhh...yes it is a bit like CK one, I'll have to check but it instantlyreminded me of YSL Libre Cologne tonic I think? As I say I'll have to check that one. This scent is beautiful though...I don't think anyone could hate it it's very clean and likable. I have chrome united because its kinda the same but fractionally more challenging and heavier with the metallic note that both have. Great stuff and Azzaro always seems to be on offer wherever I see them.

Anyone think this smells like Dr Pepper? My appologies to the serious connoisseurs out there. I mean that in a really good way....something in there creates a Carmelised, sweet, almondy accord which to me is lovely. As it matures on the skin a little it gets less sweet and the pepper comes into play...wood and incense give it a warming effect definitely one for the winter months. I've liked all the Dunhill fragrances I've tried and this one is no exception shame they're hard to track down unless you blind buy. I LOVE it!!!!

This takes me back! Edition is so unique, green soap like, herbal and has a maturity about it but very odd at the same time. I'd completely forgotten what it smelled like until I found it again recently...I need it in my life...it's incredibly smooth and delivers all notes in equal measure like a symphony of loveliness. Great stuff!

@Housebliss... Are you sure your juice changed colour? There is a Dunhill 'For Men' than comes in the same bottle and is the colour you describe.

I thought this looked very interesting from the note breakdown on here and would be sexy and sensual. Personally I found it to be very grassy in the top I get a lot of the fir and sage coming through with the vanilla it's quite strange really. I'm not saying it doesn't work I need to give it further analysis before I reach my conclusion. I like woody scents on the whole and like the descriptions here about root beer...it just smells odd to me first try though.

I tend to give Issey Miyake the benefit of the doubt with the tweaks to the classic L'eau D'issey as it's one of my favourites. This has to be my favourite tweaked version I've tried it's very much darker and more intense and I personally think you get a blast of Yuzu and an almost minty menthol in the top some of the notes create a medicated eucalyptusy type accord. After that though it's like a smokey version of the orignal which is a massive positive as the sport one doesn't work for me and the other version I've tried (the Blue one) is not to my taste. The sillage, projection and longetivity are that of the original...I like this I must say.
