Well I know A*Men Pure Malt beats the HELL out of the original

I'm not sure about Alien but I've heard a lot of good things

Pure Malt? I have two bottles of that and a bottle of Pure Havane. And the original A*Men. I'd say I share your hobby.

How many bottles do you have now?

Wow! Definitely didn't think I'd find anyone on here with the same interest haha. I sold a lot of my big bottles, but I still have 7. I've got more into samples and decants so I can have more variety. As far as that goes, I think around 120.

Agreed, pleasantly surprised to see there is another fragrance enthusiast on here.

Do you buy samples or do you get them sent out by houses?

And what's the best one you've ever smelled out of interest? Don't think I have smelled anything better than Tea for Two by L'Artisan. Like sweet, smoky cinnamon

. Pure Malt is probably the next I think. You seem much more knowledgeable than me though, I only took an interest about a year ago.

Surprisingly the best cologne I've ever owned is Adidas Moves. I really like the smell, and I've gotten more compliments from the ladies while wearing that than anything else. Best part, a large bottle runs under $15.

Other than that I've also owned Old Spice Classic scent, CK Euphoria, and Lucky Number 6.

Adidas Moves, like I said, is awesome! Old Spice isn't my personal favorite, but it's always a pleaser. Euphoria is good. Lucky Number 6 is alright, kind of an acquired scent.

I will definitely have to check some of those out then.

Bumpity Bump. Just wanted to add this in lieu of the times and the fact that the god forsaken season of Winter is damn near over.

Fragrances for Spring/Summer

Here's some suggestions from your favorite cologneface

All the prices are online prices.. because they're MUCH cheaper than retail.

Canali Summer Night

Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot, Coriander, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Apple, Pineapple, Melon, Orange Flowers, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Leather, Musk, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, Oak, Musk, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Iris

Price : $20 - $35

A beautiful citrus opening leads into a floral heart and transitions into a smooth and warm base.

Prada - Infusion d'Homme

Notes: Mandarin Orange, Neroli, Clean Notes, Iris, Galbanum, Cedar, Vetiver, Benzoin, Frankincense, Powdery Notes

Price: 35$ - 75$

A very bright and sparkly opening laden with neroli fades into a soapy, floral, and squeaky clean heart which falls into a powdery drydown.

Kenzo - Power

Notes: Bergamot, Coriander, Cardamom, Rose, Jasmine, Freesia, Tolu balsam, Cedar, Labdanum

Price: $25 - $50

A spicy and citric top gives way to a surprisingly realistic floral heart and dries down to a woody amber.

Gucci - Pour Homme II

Notes: Bergamot, Violet Leaves, Pimento, Black Tea, Cinnamon, Tobacco Leaves, Musk, Myrrh, Olive Wood

Price: $30 - $45

A slightly sweet tea opening leads to a warm soft and spicy heart which fades into a smooth musky finish.

Comptoir Sud Pacifique - Aqua Motu

Notes: Helychrisum, Marine Notes, Lily of the Valley, Warm Sand, Kelp

Price: $20 - $50

In essence, the beach in a bottle. If marine fragrances pique your interest, then you should also try the much easier to find, and much more tame Bulgari Aqua.

Beth Terry Creative Universe - Mare

Notes: Sea salt, Avocado, Ginger Lily

Price: $72, or a sample for $3 (Luckyscent)

Much like Aqua Motu, Mare is a simplistic marine fragrance that smells like bottled shoreline mist.

Versace - Versace Man Eau Fraîche

Notes: Lemon, Rosewood, Carambola, Cedar Leaves, Tarragon, Sage, Musk, Amber, Sycamore.

Price: $20 - $40

A bright citric aquatic with a slightly warm and woody drydown for people who find marine fragrances a tad too extreme.

The Canali sounds intriguing. Of course, anything that has "Summer Night" in the title is going to pique my interest.

Yeah I LOVE the name and bottle.

He was onto something! It's kind of a funny coincidence because Aquatics were HUGE in the 90s and that's when they were really at their peak.

Bought this, I love it

edit: it's a sorta summery perfume, I love it, not as much as alien though!
