I really hate those new watery fresh, fun, I just got out of the shower-smelling fragraces. I believe they really defeat the purpose of a good fragrance.
I absoloutely love the darkly coloured, strong, serious classics which have tones of tabacco and wood. They never fail to turn heads and impress.
However they are definately not everyones cup of tea. It all depends on your style. A fragrance should reflect your intended image
Gucci Pour Homme - My very favorite. The original gucci fragrance that smells of burning wood. Extremely deep and intoxicating.
Halston Z-14 - not as full on as the gucci, but still very heavy, captivating and soulful.
Introduced in 1976, its smell is glamorous, mysterious and reminicent of the disco era.
I also love halstons other fragrances: Z and Catalyst.

Escape / Calvin
Emporio Armani (the reddish one)
Also, I have a bottle of eau de pong I made myself at the Molinard factory at Grasse - they give you a lesson in making perfume and you get to make your own blend. Mine turned out really nicely (well I like it a lot - it has lots of citrus in (pamplemousse, citron, neroli) and mossy notes (oak moss, the vert) as well as frankincense and other bits. The "nose" who did the course said it was pretty good too (although I expect she probably says that to everyone, but I smelled some of the other peoples' results and some of them were vile !).

Many years ago, I managed the men's furnishings department (which included the men's cologne counter) at a large Detroit area department store.....I still have tons of free samples, testers, etc from that era (20 years ago), so I'll never have to buy a bottle of cologne for the rest of my life. Just like a good bottle of whiskey, that stuff never goes bad
Examples...
Aramis (horrible smell, but we sold tons of it)
British Sterling
Braggi
Royal Copenhagen
English Leather
Pierre Cardin
YSL
Grey Flannel
Canoe
Original Musk
Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.....
