The Most Evocative Mens Fragrance Ever

Advantages: Gorgeous and most distinctive aroma, affordable, stylish packaging
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I love this fragrance because my husband used to wear it when we were courting. In those days I would sniff my cusions and clothes when he had been near them to get that smell of 'him'. That way I could be reminded of his lovely presence even when he was not there. Obsession is *the* superlative men's fragrance because it is so unlike any other aftershave I have ever smelt. Whereas most aftershaves are very cool, green or citrus like, Obsession is completely the opposite. It is warm and fruity with hints of vanilla, myrhh and spices and the fragrance just blows me away. I just love it when I get a whiff of hubby when he is wearing Obsession. I just *have* to go up to him and nuzzle his furry chest which traps the molecules of fragrance wonderfully. Although I would say this fragrance wouldn't be to every man's (or their woman...

Review of Calvin Klein Obsession for Men Eau de Toilette Spray

The Perfume of a Princess!

Advantages: Smells Very Distinctive, Long Lasting, Beautiful Bottle, Very Feminine
Disadvantages: May be too sweet and floral for some

...of fragrance. I personally think this is suitable for either daytime or evening wear as the aroma is light enough to wear to work or whilst out and about but also sexy enough to wear at night time. One thing I have noticed about this perfume is that it seems to be a BIG hit with the men! Quite a few of my male friends have commented on it when I?ve worn it, my husband likes it which is surprising as he isn?t usually a fan of floral perfumes. I always get people asking me what perfume I?m wearing when I have this on I think because the fragrance is so different to anything else on the market. Now for the prices! This perfume is quite expensive (as perfume goes) I paid £25 for my 30ml bottle from the Duty Free Shop at Gatwick but as far as I understand the average prices are in the region of?.. 30 ml bottle of eau de toilette spray £29...

Euphoria for Men

Advantages: Nice smell
Disadvantages: None

...Calvin Klein Euphoria Man Calvin Klein Euphoria for women perfume is one of my favourite fragrances and so I decided to buy the mens version for my husband for his birthday. Calvin Klein call this a very addictive and unique signature with a fresh oriental fragrance. Calvin Klein the designer first came into the forefront of perfume when he released CK one, the fragrance for both men and women. I used this fragrance off and on and found it to have quite strong, masculine smell. Euphoria for Men was released in 2006. Like most mens fragrances this has quite a musky smell to it but is also quite spicy and strong. It is said to have top notes soaked with crisp and spicy accents, with Ginger Pepper cocktail, raindrop accord and chilled Sudachi. I love reading about this ingredients because they really do not make much sense to me, I have...

Review of Calvin Klein Euphoria Men Eau De Toilette

Great mens fragrance.

Advantages: The smell is lovely, very masculine, lasts ages.
Disadvantages: None

...I haven't actually purchased this yet but after walking around our local Shopping Centre and trying to find a nice smell for the husband this one came out tops. He put on a couple of squirts and even after following me around all day shopping and having a shower when he got home there was still a hint of the smell on him. It has hints of Pear, Mint & Basil Leaves & Libanese Cedarwood The spray is an Aromatic Green Fragrance that has time release technology, top notes are steadily released over time allowing the fragrance to smell fresher for longer. XY Man and XX Woman are very different fragrances but when smelled together they reveal a sensual provocative match so this is an excuse for me to have another new perfume :) The sizes available are: 40ml - £25.00 (62.50 per 100ml...

The Princess and the Perfume

Advantages: Light and delicate scent, sexy
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...at night times, obviously not every night before I go to bed, but say if I was going out clubbing, or for a meal etc then I would wear this. However with the perfume being quite fruity and floral, it could be used for daytime use, particulary in the summer, but for me it's better at night. The scent is a rather sexy one, and I would imagine, would more than likely drive the men wild. Apparently the scent includes a mixture of water lily, apple, mandarin meringue, and golden apricot skin, dark chocolate, amber, musk, and vanilla, however not all these are apparent to me, but thats just my very unprofessional nose. *PRICES* Now we get to the prices, this perfume, like if you've read my review on the body lotion, is quite expensive. I was reviewing the 50ml bottle, which ranges from £35-£40. If your used to having named perfume and buy...

Review of Vera Wang Princess Perfume

A Head Turning Fragrance.

Advantages: Smells beautiful
Disadvantages: None

...With it being my birthday recently I was lucky enough again to receive yet another present from my teenage son chosen and purchased completely on his own. Over the festive period, at one of our many parties, I had asked a friend what perfume she was wearing as I really liked it, the whole room seemed to be filled with a beautiful sensual, light fragrance that was in no way overpowering, it lingered faintly all evening, fresh and fruity. She told me it was Euphoria by Calvin Klein, unknown to me my son had been listening to our conversation and had obviously taken note! (Thankfully as I certainly wouldn't be buying myself any perfume at this time of year!) As this fragrance is an eau de parfum it is slightly more expensive but has the added benefit of having a long lasting scent, which will linger seductively on your body all day...

Review of Calvin Klein Euphoria Men Eau De Toilette

But WHY is it "JUST FOR MEN"?

Advantages: It works in covering grey
Disadvantages: The STIGMA, the price, stains, tricky to apply yourself

...This year my wonderful sexy husband turned the big 4-0. He wasn't TOO touchy about this (read: so long as no-one mentioned it, and the day slipped past without a fanfare) until a few months ago he attended a funeral where there were lots of family members he hadn't seen for years. One of them mentioned how "distinguished" he was looking, and that was it?when he came home he said that he wanted to dye his hair. Now, we all know that men don't want to be seen as vain, "product"-using creatures, so of course I was dispatched to purchase the necessary chemicals. I found that there were two main brands of hair-colorant aimed at men in our local Tesco: Grecian 2000, and Just For Men. I decided on the Just For Men, as it was a shampoo-in permanent colour. This meant that it would only need to be applied every 6 weeks or so, whereas...

Prada Men Smell Best

Advantages: really lovely smell and long lasting
Disadvantages: none

...I first came across this when I received a free sample of it, When my husband put some on instead of the usual yeah it's okay he said this is really nice much better than anything else he had tried and I had to agree with him. I find most mens fragrances a bit too strong and "woody" but this is quite subtle not overpowering at all. It is extremely difficult to describe the smell of something but it is gentle , clean and for some reason it reminds me a bit of the smell you can sometimes get from lipstick. It has a floral note, a hint of sweetness a fruity kick and spicey overtones and definitely a fragrance I would say either gender could wear. I have caught my daughter spraying herself with it a few times! It comes in a very sleek square glass bottle with a silver coloured label on the front with the Prada name and has a matching...

Review of Prada for Men edt

Where's The Fragrance?

Advantages: Attractive.
Disadvantages: Very disappointing - lack of fragrance!

...or indeed even a normal match, it's just too low down! There is therefore a very thick, waste of wax from the top of the glass, around the wick to where it is burned down to at this stage and I loathe waste!! ~ The Smell ~ I was really looking forward to the warm, wintery smell of the nutmeg and I am not averse to pomegranate although not really an expert on the scent given by a pomegranate so I couldn't wait to have my room filled with these fragrances. On opening the packaging, I was a little disappointed, not a strong smell of either of these products but I had high hopes for when it was lit. I like my scented candles to mask the smells that can sometimes develop in a room during the winter months when the windows and doors aren't opened as regularly as I would like but this just doesn't do it for me. Even when lit there isn...

Review of Next Pomegranate and Nutmeg Fragranced Candle

Kleenex Mansize Tissues, not just for men!

Advantages: Soft, comfortable on a sore nose, large so you don't use as many
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Kleenex 'Man Size' tissues have been in the shops for as long as I can remember, proudly claiming to be the more superior tissue to your regular standard tissues. So what makes them man-size? Well they're big. They're big enough to cover your whole hand and nose/mouth for when you need to blow your nose. Possibly called man-size due to the fact that men supposedly have bigger hands, therefore need more coverage. These tissues are quite costly. Last time I checked they were about £2.50, ranging up to £3 in some supermarkets. So why buy them? Well, here I feel I can give a lot of expertise as I am always ill, always coughing, sneezing, sniffling and needing to blow my nose. Tissues are a top necessity in my life, with boxes everywhere, at home, in the car, on my desk at work, and small packets are always in my handbag for al...
