Suggestions: fragrances with berries for men?
...The past years, quite a few perfumes with berries have been launched: "Sì (Eau de Parfum)", "Manifesto", "Enchanted Forest".I like black currant and blueberries. Blackberries too probably, but not raspberries or redcurrant/red berries.Do you have any suggestions for fragrances with berries for men? Or unisex?(if you have to mention a really good female fragrance, go ahead :) )

Pondering 1990's men's fragrances
by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...After doing some fragrance browsing, I think you're right, Apicius. Aromatic fragrances/fougères went pretty much extinct. (not counting tobacco fragrances). Things like Rive Gauche pour Homme (2003) are an exception. Thanks for pointing me to Globe, I didn't know it.And I agree about Allure pour Homme. It (and the flankers) are so middle of the road that it has become boring.

Pondering 1990's men's fragrances
by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...Let's use this thread to discuss 1990's men's fragrances - whatever you want to discuss.But I want to start with some thoughts about aromatic fragrances that survived into the 90's, even when it was the aquatic & unisex decade.When I started my fragrance journey some 4 years ago I was familiar with "Antaeus", the good old animalic stinker from Chanel and I also knew "Platinum Égoïste". After adjusting to the metallic geranium+lavender combo of Platinum Égoïste, I added it to my small collection and started to really appreciate it: It had traditional ingredients but was at the same time very fresh and versatile.I know that I'm going to ignore "Égoïste" (1990) here a bit, but bear with me.. So, knowing Antaeus and Platinum Égoïste, that got me thinking: How does one get from A to B ? There is almost nothing in common. I couldn't place Platinum Égoïste in the decade where Acqua di Giò and CK One reigned supreme. But today I bought "Herrera for Men" (1991), it's basically a fresh tobacco and clove fragrance. With that one as a transition I can start to see how evolving aromatic men's fragrances got to the point of Platinum Égoïste in 1993.What do you think about these things? Do you think aromatic fragrances got extinct in the late 1990's or were they really never gone? (I'm really having trouble thinking of one from the 2000's, at least one that isn't about lavender)Do you also like light aromatic fragrances or are are your favourite fragrances from that period rather the aquatics or unisex (ish) fragrances?

Were you ever just a second too late for a bargain?
by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...Oh, that sucks :( I looked around for it a bit, but you're right it's really difficult to find.Maybe it's an idea to look at the Parfumo souk often, to see if it's offered as a 2nd hand bottle. It surprises me how many new bottles are added there every day.

by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...Apicius:1984: Armani's "Eau Pour Homme" - very popular for many yearsI like that one too :) In my opinion the old juice is better than the new juice.

Popular Men Fragrances from 1984 - 2014
by Sleuth | Perfumes & Brands
...Nice list!Here are some suggestions:1997 - Hanae Mori HM shouldn't be on the list. "Dune pour Homme" is better.2005 - Dior Homme and L.I.D.G.E. are fine but you should also consider "Un Jardin sur le Nil". It's special.2011 - Gucci Guilty Pour Homme isn't great. Better options are:"Hommage à l'Homme" (=sophisticated, modern, all round)"Potion" (=interesting amber)"Avant Garde" (=delicious, modern beeswax + tobacco)
