I just left the Army Exchange, smelt a bunch of different scents I alway here about.

Many Tom Ford fragrances, was not impressed. :francis: Which is suppose to be the best?



Diesel - Only the Brave is a great scent for the low.

Exact opposite of my tastes, lol.

For me, Cheap is department store prices, most of which you can find online for less.
Expensive - 200+

AND, ALWAYS BUY THE DAMN DECANT, NEVER BLIND A BUY A BOTTLE.

This is a long list, but my personal recs based on my tastes
  • Floral
    • Dior Homme Intense
    • Givenchy Gentleman- basically anything in the series
    • D&G The One - Mysterious Night
  • Cheap Fruit
    • Terre d'Hermes
    • Tobacco Blaze
  • Expensive Fruit
    • Layton
    • Fan Your Flames
  • Cheap? Fresh/Clean
    • Bleu de Chanel Parfum (not really cheap)
    • Versace Pour Homme (pretty cheap)
  • Expensive Fresh and Clean - Pacific Rock Moss

Floral - Objectively(?), I'd say Portrait of a Lady and Neroli Portofino
  • Cheap Iris - Dior - Dior Homme Intense. Givenchy - Gentleman
  • Expensive Iris - Amouage - Interlude Man Black Iris
  • Cheap Red Rose - Paco Rabanne - Toy Boy
  • Expensive Red Rose - Frederick Malle - Portrait of a Lady
  • Cheap Middle Eastern Style Rose - Dolce and Gabbana - The One - Mysterious Night
  • Expensive Mid East Rose - Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Oud Satin Mood (The oud is strong, but so is the rose)
  • Floral and Expensive - Tom Ford - Neroli Portofino
  • Cheap Lavender - Lavender is a pretty popular flower with men's colognes, but I don't particularly look for it
    • Valentino - Born in Roma Intense;
    • JPG - Le Male; (most of them have lavender, but they also have other things that dominate/stick out more, to me)
    • Prada - Luna Ross Carbon
    • Gucci Guilty, Gucci Guilty Black
  • Cheap Lotus - Nautica Voyage - (according to the notes it has Lotus, but to me this is the definition of aquatic/marine, even more than Acqua Di Gio)
  • Expensive Orchid - Tom Ford Black Orchid
  • Expensive Tobacco Flower - Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille - I know this is cheating, cause this ain't the floral you're looking for, lol.
Fruit - Hard to say what's most popular on this list because it smells like fruit, but I'd go Terre D Hermes and Lost Cherry.
  • Cheap Red Apple - Valentino - Born in Roma Coral Fantasy; YSL - Y EDP; Versace Eros
  • Expensive Apple - Parfums De Marly - Layton
  • Cheap Pear - JPG - Ultra Male
  • Cheap Apricot - Rasasi Tobacco Blaze (I think it smells like raspberry shisha, but it's probably Apricot, given that it's middle eastern)
  • Expensive Green Apple - By Kilian - Apple Brandy on the Rocks; Parfums de Marley - Greenley
  • Expensive Mango - Vilhelm - Mango Skin; Gisada - Ambassador
  • Cheap Orange - Terre d'Hermes
  • Cheap Mandarin Orange - Versace Eros Flame (it smells like blood orange to me)
  • Cheap? Tangerine - Phlur - Tangerine Boy
  • Expensive Lime - Creed Virgin Island Water
  • Expensive Peach - Bitter Peach
  • Cheap Cherry - Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDP, Banana Republic - Dark Cherry and Amber
  • Expensive Cherry - Tom Ford - Lost Cherry, Tom Ford - Cherry Smoke
  • Expensive Black Currant - Byredo Mixed Emotions - good lord this is fruity, I can't think of a good opportunity to wear it.
  • Cheap Coconut - JPG - Le Beau
  • Expensive Coconut - Creed - Virgin Island Water; Nishane - Fan your Flames
  • Raspberry - Expensive - Tom Ford - Tuscan leather, and the cheap clone by Rasasi - La Yuqawam
  • Expensive Pineapple - Creed - Aventus
  • Cheap Pineapple - Valentino - Born in Roma Yellow Dream
  • Cheap Plum - Paco Rabanne - One Million Lucky; By Kilian - Single Malt
  • Expensive Plum - Tom Ford - Plum Japonais
  • Red Fruits Cheap - Viktor and Rolf - Spicebomb Infrared (it's more like a red hot candy, i.e hot cinnamon with some red berries thrown in)
  • Sapodilla/Naseberry for my Yardies - Byredo - Mojave Ghost
Fresh and Clean - sort of vague here - most "clean scents" are light florals and citrus. so I'm cutting and pasting from the fruit section. Objectively - BDC/Sauvage win the cheap section, I can't really call it for the expensive stuff.
  • Banana Republic - Linen Vetiver
  • Prada - L'Homme
  • Missoni Wave - ? sort of a blue fragrance, aquatic, but also sort soapy.
  • Cheap Yuzu - Issey Miyake - L'eau de Issey
  • Cheap? Bergamot - Bleu De Chanel EDP, Mont Blanc - Explorer, Dior - Sauvage, D&G Lt Blue summer vibes; Versace - Pour Homme; Man Eau Fraiche, Dylan Blue
  • Expensive Bergamot - Louis Vuitton - Afternoon Swim
  • Cheap? Lemon - Bleu De Chanel Parfum, Also Versace Pour Homme, Eau Fraiche
  • Expensive Lemon - Goldfield and Banks - Pacific Rock Moss
  • Cheap Grapefruit - D&G Light Blue Forever, Eau Intense, Italian Love, Bleu de Chanel EDT
  • Mint - Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, Versace Eros (which I have above)
