SMELL GOOD FEEL GOOD...2009 Mens Cologne.


Kenzo by Tokyo

The allure of Kenzo is the design house's ability to blend modern urban emotion with the tranquility of traditional Japanese nature motifs. Tokyo by Kenzo goes a step farther and brings a western sense of frenetic wonderment with a mixture of notes that include ginger, lemon, grapefruit, shiso, cardamom, mate, green tea, sap, pink pepper, and bitter orange. These complex notes strike a decisively modern key of energy that is Tokyo itself.

Antidote by Victor & Rolf

Antidote is old-school European, with just enough of today’s relaxed style to worn by any man. Mint leaves and Italian bergamot are your hint of sophistication as these give way to spiced black pepper and cinnamon that drift over sandalwood and patchouli.




Capri Orange by Acqua Di Parma

The perfect scent for a summer night evokes the warm seaside breezes blowing in over the cliffs on the island of C apri -- expensive indeed, but far more affordable than the a irfare to Italy these days. Capri Orange is a pleasant and invigorating concoction of Sicilian orange, mandarin, Sorrento lemon with a touch of caramel and musk thrown in for good measure. The name Acqua Di Parma should look familiar to you if you’ve been reading the fashion pages of AskMen.com, but Capri Orange is not the staid and traditional cologne you’ve read about. This one is the best thing to come out of Italy since Ferrari decided to reissue the GT California.

Even though this 2009 men's cologne is priced for the man with any kind of pockets in these tough times, you get so much more than you could have imagined with Fuel For Life from Diesel. This is yet another Italian cologne that is undoubtedly urban and masculine with star anise as the foundation mixed with grapefruit, raspberry, lavender, heliotrope, and dried woods. It might be inexpensive, but it shouldn’t be because it stands up to the best.


212 by Caroline Herrera

Venezuelan-born Herrera is not new to the fashion scene. In fact, her gowns have been a staple of the New York and Hollywood elite for decades, but this is her first men’s cologne to get excited about. Her usually traditional offerings are cast aside here as sophisticated and sleek aromas of grapefruit, ginger, mandarin, sandalwood, Guiac wood, musk, and Aquatic molecules take over.
