This is a review of the NEW Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme released in late 2008 before Christmas.

Hugo by Hugo Boss

Cubby — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 01:08:07 +0000

I love it! A fresh cologne with a top built around green apple enhanced with with mint and lavender accords as well as a zest of grapefruit. Hugo then turns on its fruity middle notes spiced with accents of cloves, sage and geranium leaves. Crowning the fragrance, the base is reminiscent of a stroll in the woods with hints of pine needles, vetiver, patchouli, cedar and moss.

This scents works SOO well with my skin chemistry and it lasts FOREVER. I have received endless compliments about this fragrance and I wont doubt that you will too if you try this one out. I have linked the image to the website where you can get this cologne for the cheapest I could find. It is definitely worth adding to your collection.

Hope this helps

212 Men by Carolina Herrera

212 Men by Carolina Herrera – where do I start?

I have to say, that this has to be my new favorite fragrance; I have no idea why it took me so long to fall in love with this fresh, original, and modern bottle of joy. I guess, when I decided to write and film a review of 212 Men, I was able to really examine the beauty of this metallic, and aquatic fragrance; the dry down is a work of art.

It’s so amazing and unique, of course it has to be copied a hundred times by other companies… which is has. It opens with a metallic, fresh, grassy, and crisp aroma; bergamot gives it a tea-like scent. While the citrus leaves, cut green grass, and spice leaves give a chop of fresh, crispness – yet it is smoothed with a blanket of lavender. Cheerful notes of Mandarin and Grapefruit are also apparent.

Then, Ginger and Green Pepper give it an oriental zing, while a contrast of Gardenia notes relax beside it, giving a Mediterranean feel. It then dries down magnificently, with Sandalwood, Incense, and Transparent Musk to give it a woody, calm, and relaxed finish.

Designed by Fabien Baron, the bottle matches the modern, metallic and aquatic scent; with stainless steel, blue glass and a magnetic cap. Also, a healthy pump sprays a satisfying quantity onto your skin.

I got tons of hugs and compliments while wearing 212 Men. All my lady friends are in love with it, even more so than I am. Even my guy friends love it. They ask what it is, and where to get it. I found the cheapest place to get it! Click the image above or click here, and there is where you will get it for SO cheap! I was amazed at the price, so I bought it from FraganceNet my self. Doing my part by spreading the word to you all because seriously? Who wants to pay full marked up retail price? Not me!

Smell this one out! And you wont be sorry to you wore it!
