I'm reposting a list I posted last week on the Perfumista thread. Some of the greatest masculines ever (a list compiled by a male perfume lover who knows a lot about perfume).
Terre d'Hermes is a modern classic - not citrusy but subtly woody and might work on someone who loves Eau Sauvage (which, imo, is one of the greatest perfumes ever made) - not in-your-face, it has a subtle aura of confidence. I love the richer 'parfum' concentration (and don't buy the new 'parfum' version of Eau Sauvage - it's disappointing). Would also like to smell Habit Rouge on a daily basis - citrus woven together with a lot of depth and warmth. Whatever you pick, sample first (at least on a strip - perhaps on your skin too).
The list:
Caron Pour un Homme, Knize Ten, Aramis Classic, Eau d?Hermes, Sables or Eau de Monsieur or Duel by Annick Goutal, Yatagan (Caron), Rochas Man, Fahrenheit (Dior), Givenchy Gentleman, Santal Noble (Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier), Parfum d?Habit (Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier), Centaure (Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier), Body Kouros (YSL), Au Masculin (Lempicka), Fuel for Men, M7 (YSL), Azzaro Pour Homme, Amouage Gold for Men, Obsession for Men (CK), Le troisieme Homme (Caron), Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Czech & Speake Cuba, Dior Homme, A*Men (Mugler), Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme, Beyond Paradise Men (Lauder), Grey Flannel (Beene), Pi (Givenchy), Gucci Pour Homme (2003), Habit Rouge (Guerlain), Bel Ami (Hermes), Mouchoir de Monsieur (Guerlain), Vetiver (Guerlain), Terre d?Hermes, Declaration (Cartier), Joop! Homme, Kenzo Air, Nasomatto Duro, Black XS (Rabanne), Pascal Morabito Or Black, Old Spice, Polo (Lauren), Midnight in Paris (Van Cleef & Arpels), The Dreamer (Versace), New York (de Nicolai), Chanel Pour Monsieur, Antaeus (Chanel), Egoiste (Chanel), Eau Sauvage (Dior), Lagerfeld Classic, Salvador Dali Pour Homme, Kouros (YSL), Cool Water (Davidoff), Drakkar Noir (Laroche), Green Irish Tweed (Creed), 1 Million (Rabanne), Le Male (Gaultier), Le Dandy (D?Orsay), Ormonde Man (Ormonde Jayne), Tabac Original.
My personal favorites from this list, in addition to Eau Sauvage: Yatagan (herby and dense), Azzaro pour Homme (classic fougere, old-school male, good retro vibe), Habit Rouge (elegance), A*men (great gourmand), Terre (modern metrosexual vibe), Declaration (yummy cardamom), Antaeus (very well-done herby leather).
