nicely with spices, sandalwood, and cedar. Middle notes of lime and musk are released about fifteen minutes after application. Just one squirt is all that is needed.

Tom Ford for Men.

Tom Ford for Men is a limited-edition cologne that debuted in 2008. The long list of quality ingredients may seem overwhelming, but the fragrance is wonderfully subtle. There are notes of citrus, mandarin zest, bergamot, basil, ginger, orange blossom, grapefruit blossom, tobacco leaf, black pepper, cedar, patchouli, vetiver, oak moss, leatherwood, and cypriol.

Hints of black pepper and basil aren't particularly obvious. What you do notice in this Eau de Toilette are the sensuous, woodsy aromas. The 50 ml bottle retails for $60, the larger 100 ml size costs $120.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme.

Like many men's fragrance, Light Blue contains citrus bases such as mandarin, grapefruit peel, juniper, and lemon. Middle notes like rosemary, rosewood, and pepper do not stand out. Some users have suggested the fragrance is not a classical men's fragrance, but rather, that it's similar to other nautical/aquatic fragrance blends on the market. Light Blue is available at Nordstroms.

"For Him" Narciso Rodriguez.

"For Him" is a seductive and alluring. It is also very popular with both men and women who seemed to have fallen in love with it instantly. The fragrance opens with spices, woods, tobacco, and leather notes. Added to the mix are violets, musk, and patchouli. The sophisticated scents are long lasting, and improves quite dramatically the longer you wear it. Renowned perfumer, Francis Kurkdjian, created this classic fragrance.

If you want something different, "For Him" is definitely worth a try. Go lightly with the spray; a heavy squirt will overpower.

Burberry Summer For Men.

This is the ideal summer scent particularly suited for daytime wear. You immediately notice how fresh and clean the aroma is, perhaps due to the lemon and grapefruit notes. This version is lighter than the original version from 2006.

Usher, Usher He.

Sexy R & B recording star, Usher, has joined a long list of celebrities to create their own perfume. Notes contain a blast of lavender, pineapple, black suede, sandalwood, vetiver, and melon. Gentle hints of white pepper and verbena are a pleasant surprise. Usher He is undoubtedly masculine, although the sweet, woodsy spices are subtle in comparison the fresh citrus aromas. The entire collection of eau-de-toilette, shower gels, and after shave-products are available at Macy's.
