Before You Buy Paco Rabanne Phantom in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been wearing Phantom by Paco Rabanne. Yes… that one. The chrome robot bottle you’ve definitely seen, possibly judged, and maybe even felt slightly irritated by. Don’t worry — you’re not alone. Bottle theatrics aside,...
Before You Buy L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. For the last two weeks, I’ve been wearing L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake — a true classic that’s been sitting on my review list for far too long. This is very much my kind of fragrance: clean, understated, and quietly confident. Now,...
Before You Buy Le Beau by Jean Paul Gaultier in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. For the past two weeks I’ve been wearing Le Beau, one of Jean Paul Gaultier’s more playful releases. It’s cheeky, youthful, and unmistakably JPG — and even though sweet fragrances aren’t usually my thing, I’ve found myself enjoying this one more...
Before You Buy Stronger With You by Emporio Armani in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. This week I’ve been wearing Stronger With You by Emporio Armani — a fragrance you’ve almost certainly seen everywhere. It’s practically staring you down from every shop shelf, Instagram ad, or airport duty-free stand like an over-eager salesman....
Before You Buy Spicebomb Extreme by Viktor & Rolf in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. I’m back after a short break with my latest review: Spicebomb Extreme EDP. As always, I’ve worn it for a full week before putting pen to paper—well, fingers to keyboard. I planned to get this out last week, but I came down with a nasty cold and...
Before You Buy Gucci Guilty Pour Homme in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. This week I’ve been wearing Gucci Guilty Pour Homme — not the fragrance I planned to review, thanks to a little mix-up with the store I usually order from. But hey, it landed in my hands, so we’re rolling with it. I’ll save the rant for another...
Before You Buy Myself EDP by Yves Saint Laurent in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. This week I’ve been wearing a fragrance that’s still relatively new on the scene — Myself Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent. It’s not something I would’ve naturally gravitated toward or considered as “myself,” but it landed in my hands as a...
Before You Buy Tom Ford Noir in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. This week, I’ve been wearing Tom Ford Noir, arguably one of my favourites from the house. I have to say, it’s been a real pleasure. Released in 2012 and created by Olivier Gillotin, Noir was originally classed as a “woody oriental.” That...
Before You Buy 1872 for Men by Clive Christian in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen. This past week, I’ve been spending time with a fragrance I’ve had my eye on for a while: 1872 for Men by Clive Christian. And let me tell you — it’s been quite the ride. Why was I drawn to it in the first place? Maybe it’s the regal green bottle....
Before You Buy Creed Viking Cologne in 2026
Greetings, gentlemen, Last week, I spent some time wearing Creed Viking Cologne—not to be confused with the original Viking Eau de Parfum. Despite both being EDPs, these are two entirely different fragrances with very different personalities. Both have their...
