Invictus is great and i still use it. 1 mil was also good but not as good as Invictus. Lacoste white was also very good
Alfa you should try Versace Eros. I fuckin loved it and the women also

Forgot to mention TooDoped, I also sampled Eros the same day I sampled all the others (yesterday). It is right up at the top with Bleu De Chanel, Invictus, and Pasha Noir. Besides Invictus, I like Eros 2nd best. Eros smells just like the bottle looks, dark, aquatic, blue-green, marine, haunting.
Yeah you're right. Eros is 2nd best after Invictus. Yesterday i bought Gucci Guilty. To tell you the truth i was very impressed.
I was intrigued by the name, Gucci Guilty. Now that you've mentioned it....I'm gonna have to make another trip back to the local perfumeries.

I guess you can tell this is all a bit new to me. I was never a perfume guy. I would just rub on some antiperspirant deodorant, and that was it. For years. I wasn't interested in sweet scents. Then I smelled 1 Million Intense in a GQ magazine someone handed me.
That was it.
Let me make a little commentary. A big problem with a lot of these scents is the longevity. When you do a little homework on basic perfumery, you find out that Eau de Toilette is a more diluted version of a scent. Next step up in density would be Eau de Parfum. Now, it's easy for a woman to find a Parfum, versus just an eau de toilette. Not so for a man. Our scents tend to be more diluted. That's unfortunate. I think really it might come down to economics [again]. Maybe men are not the primary consumers of perfumes, and so maybe a perfumery doesn't want to put a concentrated mixture into a bottle, wasting more of the compounds needed to make a much greater quantity of eau de toilette or cologne.
I looked for an Invictus Eau de Parfum. Brother, it's not out there.
That would be a "cologne" to blow away all contenders for decades to come.
Let's hope Paco Rabanne reads this and at least comes out with an Invictus Intense like he did with 1 Million.
