Vera Wang for Men by Vera Wang
I have owned the vintage version since it was launched in 2004 and used the shower gel & aftershave balm (which were beautifully bottled in the gift set they came in) many years ago. I have been left with the fragrance which comes in a lovely cool looking bottle.As for the juice itself, I would say that it just smells a bit average. A sort of melange of fruity, spicy & woody notes with average longevity.
I shall give it a thumbs up as this fragrance brings back lovely memories when I used the grooming extras.

No. 9 d'Igor by Henry Jacques
Beautiful masculine fragrance with very suave top notes of aldehydes, cloves and chamomile followed by gentle jasmine, iris & lily of the valley. The dry down is lovely with notes of leather & patchouli softened by a hint of amber.Great Longevity & Sillage.

Lovely scent with prominent notes of cinnamon & patchouli. It feels very light initially but after several wears its performance has greatly improved.Thumbs up!

I sprayed the tester on my right wrist in the store and smelt a pleasant accord which disappeared within the hour.Medium thumbs!
Axe Africa / Lynx Africa by Axe / Lynx
Gorgeous fragrance for smelling good on the go! Particularly after a Gym Shower!Thumbs up!
Chinatown by Bond No. 9
It has taken me years to appreciate Chinatown as the peach note used to put me off when I first tried it many years ago.I now really enjoy wearing Chinatown. It is a fruity fragrance with a very long lasting accord that I wear in the colder months.

Royale Ambree by Legrain
I grew up in Spain wearing this lovely fragrance.It has that clean aromatic uplifting feeling when you wear it in the morning after a shower/bath/shave and you stroll out in the fresh air. Longevity is pretty good, particularly in the warmer months.

Agua de Colonia by S3
Lovely fresh eau de cologne that I grew up using as a child. It has clean accords of neroli & aromatic herbs but less formal than 4711. It has a wonderful uplifting effect every time you use it.A must for any fragrance lover.
You can buy a 750ml bottle for a few euros.

Mahon Leather by Floris
Lovely take on Spanish Leather, vetiver and citrus with a very clean and singing feel with average longevity.Thumbs up!
English Lavender by Yardley
Nice relaxing fragrance that works well as a pillow spray before sleeping.A galaxy away from the original Lavender by Yardley that for me was the gold standard of Lavender fragrances in terms of quality and character.
This reformulated version seems to be more of a relaxing aid with average longevity than a true classic.
Thumbs up!
Mauboussin pour Homme by Mauboussin
Beautiful masculine take on smoky lavender with a vanilla dry down. Simple but really well done.My EDP bottle acquired recently (reformulated version) lasted 4 hours which is not bad at all for the price.
This fragrance could be the male version of Guerlain Shalimar although it would require a bit more complexity and lasting power.
Thumbs up!
Noir by S.T. Dupont
Lovely & smooth masculine take on lavender, hazelnut & nutmeg with decent longevity for daytime wear.Thumbs up!
Vanilla Oud by Sunnamusk
Beautiful long lasting oil with saffron, rose, oud & vanilla.I love this creation by Sunnamusk
