Hah yeah that Boss is a classic used to use that a lot.

A really old school scent is Green Irish Tweed by Creed. Expensive but unique and very masculine.

Issey miyaki has a great men's scent too, forget the name but it comes in a cool light colored bottle.

That's really expensive though, 87 pounds for 30 ml. Anyone ever used Abercrombie Fierce? It does smell unique, but it's just too overpriced in the UK.

I use it. Girls love it.

I've sampled it a few times and I've got a friend who has gone through 2 or 3 bottles of the stuff. High quality gourmand, good projection and longevity. Strong coffee vibe from this but it's not synthetic smelling at all, like I said, high quality and blended nicely. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the coffee type scents, so I'm not going to pay the over the top niche prices to own New Haarlem.

Rochas Man is a far cheaper alternative, smells similar but it's not blended as well. I suggest you sample both fragrances. For use in the winter only in my opinion, could be used on colder fall/spring days though.

Hm... How do you think it compares to Angel Men, in the gourmand sense?
I really enjoy Angel Men, but just about the only thing that disappoints me is that the coffee note isn't too strong and doesn't hang around very long...
Having not had the chance to try A*Men Pure Coffee before it was discontinued and fell off the face of the Earth, I'm definitely interested in trying a more coffee-centric gourmand.

Don't think New Haarlem and A*Men can be compared at all, very different scents. Personally, I enjoy A*Men and Pure Malt a lot more.

If you want the coffee smell, New Haarlem does this a lot better than any Thierry Mugler scent, including Pure Coffee.

Hm, interesting. The note breakdown on Bond No. 9's site lists "coffee, vanilla, patchouli", so I was expecting it to be at least vaguely similar to A*Men.
Thanks for the info, going to have to try and procure a sample of this stuff.

Shouldn't be too hard to find 1-3ML decants online. Ebay, fragrancenet, and perfumed court are where I'd start looking. Also search the basenotes forum.

You can buy cologne samples on Ebay. They sell 20 small atomizer spray bottles for like $20 or so.
All different brands in a sampler pack. Not a bad deal. Try before you buy.

I just bought Gucci Guilty Intense and Bulgari for men.

Got a sample of Tobacco Vanille... Not a fan at all.
I was expecting a blend of Earthy pipe tobacco and refreshing vanilla, but it smells more like unlit cigarettes drenched in honey.
To me, the tobacco component is less of a raw leaf type vibe and more of that funky sweet smell you get from a freshly opened pack of cigs, and the vanilla is way too dark, cloying, and syrupy.

Salvatore Ferragamo Black smells fkn unreal and its pretty unique.. Had some chick in the Bay get me to sample it and I had to have it after all the compliments I got. Hard to find in person but easy online..
