No, but what I've heard hasn't been strong. I think Dane reviewed a few of them on peredepierre.

Rochas Man today, rather like this one. With the weather warming up I'm thinking of picking up a light aquatic that you guys love so much. Any recs?

Aramis New West, or maybe YSL Live Jazz or Kouros Cologne Sport.

Today though, I have a cold and went with something that should cut through the phlegm: Chanel Antaeus

After one wear, I'd probably say the same. For the retail price of this one, I feel that it should blow you away on all fronts. And while it is one of the most unique scents I've ever smelled, I can't say that I was immediately taken by it.

It's intriguing to be sure, and it makes me want to wear it again to try to figure it out more, but it just lacked a "killer" nature to it, as apparently Jubliation XXV has (according to reviews I've read/watched/gathered). Something that just captures you and leaves you enthralled.

Upon smelling it for the first time, the pepper in it struck me most quickly. Not in a put-offish way, but definitely a nostril burner if you're not expecting it. I could also pick up some powdery florals (most likely jasmine/orchid). At application, the neroli and bitter orange came out a bit more - moreso than just smelling it from the bottle. About 30 minutes in, I also got a phase of the scent where it smelled like "blackened Dr. Pepper", the best way I can describe it. It projected it's top and middle notes very well for about 5 hours before it began to settle down into the sandalwood and vetiver (the two listed base notes that I could most easily identify). It definitely gets sweeter as it goes along, but never approaches Creed-sweetness ( which is the only other niche brand with which I've had experience).

I think it's an intriguing scent, and I want to wear it again. For sure, it's not a day-to-day sort of deal, so I think my 30mL split will suit its nature nicely. I enjoy it, but just wish it possessed that "capture you" trait I had originally anticipated.

Bois du Portugal today. I haven't worn this in awhile and it will be interesting to see if my opinion of BdP changes now that I have been wearing Tuscon Leather.

Caswell & Massey Sandelwood cologne....thanks MasterClasser

ok so I am wearing Tuscan Leather today and I don't know if I'm sickened or pleased but I can still smell Guerlain L'Instant Homme on my arms from yesterday. its certainly a weird combination.

Having tried both myself, I think I personally lean towards BdP...

I've been happily wearing BdP all day, but I'd have to say TL is a richer scent. I am wearing BdP at work but I don't think I'd wear TL. on the other hand TL has become my default Going Out At Night frag. I'm keeping both in the arsenal.

Lacoste Essence and starting to hate it.
