Scent/Fragrance of the Day thread

The only fragrance i have is CK's Eternity. I really like its fresh scent. doesn't ever seem to be overpowering at all. can someone recommend anything similar?

Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur Du Male

it's beyond amazing. Floral, but not too floral, and lasts the whole day!

One you might check into is Caron Third Man (Le Troisemme Homme). Fairly similar iirc, a bit different here and there but a similar feel.

As far as keeping L'Homme around longer, I've heard people tell me about applying lotion to their skin and letting it soak in before spraying. Worth a shot.

Thanks!, will give Caron Third Man a try.

I also own CK Eternity, and from what I remember, I found it a tad too much. I also really love L'Homme a lot more than Eternity, but it's a bit too weak. Similar scents from what I can tell, but I'm no expert. Eternity seems a little bit more... "powdery" (reminds me of my mom's old face makeup powder) and L'Homme a bit more fresh and lemon-y
Hope this helped?

Today is a PdN New York, a great big powdery concoction that is slowly winning me over. Similar to Chanel Pour Monsieur but even more stuffy. Winter only for this bad boy, and I think my paltry 1 oz bottle should last me well into middle age, because it is strong. I am a victim of my own sillage (sprayed once, thank you), and smell myself everywhere. I can only imagine what my co-workers are going through.

Should cross-post this with workplace sabotage.

Hmmm...been a while since I sniffed that one. Have you considered Chanel Platinum Egoiste? Or perhaps Pasha de Cartier?

Armani Code today for me. Just picked it up last week and I am really enjoying the scent - plus my wife likes it on me which is key

Terre D'Hermes for the first time today. Love it, though I went with three sprays this morning and should definitely have done two. Very different from the L'eau D'Issey that I usually use for work. Trying Guerlain's vetiver tomorrow, but it smelled very "green" when I sniffed it yesterday so I'm not sure I'll dig it during the Winter.

Believe me, I know exactly what you mean. Just earlier this week I sprayed two sprays on one wrist and pressed both wrists together, and my roommates really didn't appreciate that

They mentioned that it smelled like a floor cleaner spray. One spray to the chest and maybe one more to neck is more than enough (atleast for me...)

Still using my sample vials for now. Wearing CDG: Sequoia to the wedding today. I like it a lot more than i did the first time i tried it. Ordering cdg white monday when i get back to town. Looking into terre d'hermes and antaeus as well as i've read good things.

I could have sworn I made a post about this before.


"Jil Sander has launched a new duo of fragrances, Scent 79 Woman and Scent 79 Man. The scents are modern interpretations of the original Jil Sander fragrances, Jil Sander Pure Woman, launched in 1979, and Jil Sander Pure Man, which followed in 1981. Like their earlier counterparts, the new fragrances celebrate Sander's elegant minimalist style.

Jil Sander Scent 79 Woman was developed by perfumer Evelyne Boulanger. The amber floral chypre fragrance includes notes of cranberry, peach leaves, May rose, jasmine, iris, soft leather, caramelized wood, musk and vetiver.

Jil Sander Scent 79 Man was developed by perfumer Marc Buxton, and retains the pure, simple modernity of Jil Sander Pure Man. The notes include angelica, clary sage, frankincense, jasmine, violet, orris, black leather, sandalwood and vetiver.

Jil Sander Scent 79 Woman and Man are available in 125 ml Eau de Parfum, $149"

It's been a long time since I gave this subject much thought...I'm past the age when I need to worry about being a "manly" man or not. But I have never liked the fruity or floral accented colognes that seem to have been dominant over the last 20 years or so.

When I smell a cologne that I wouldn't have any objection to smelling on a woman, I don't want to smell it on myself. I want somethng earthier---more oak moss and tobacco and leather...maybe smoke and peat--something like the laphroig of men's colognes.


So I'm wondering if there are certain very distinctive colognes out there that fit the bill? Any brand names I could check out?
