I just spent over $500 on colognes that many recommended here and I am not very impressed with the scents. Most are very sweet in smell and others heavy. So I gave the colognes to my boys (more fitting it seems as I do not like a man with those fragrances) and purchased my favorite for him BULGARI pour homme Extreme. It is light, smells incredible yet not overwhelming. Any man with this on gets my attention. Found this gem in San Francisco years ago and to this day is still, in my opinion, the best scent on a man...plus they do not smell like every other guy out there in a club. What men need to realize that a cologne is supposed to be very very light and not made to smell at 30 feet but close up at less than a foot. Strong scents to me is a turn off and reminds me of Europe where it is worn heavily to overcome hygiene.
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male was my biggest disappointment of all acquired...very fruity, not masculine nor enticing to me.
