This has been my bros signature scent for about 5 yrs now and well, im sick of it! I never liked it. He recently ran out of his last bottle and i want to get him a new cologne for his bday nxt wk. Anyone have suggestions? Maybe something similar but you know, better? Hes turning 22 if that helps. Thanks!

I collect ads/ad images. *blush* Would you mind posting a link to it, please? The only other one I've been to find online from Google Images is still pixelated.

Lars: excellent choice of words you use to describe the FRESH scents I hate: “sour, metallic, PENETRATING.” I wish I could remember the one fresh scent I liked…it was by Kenzo and I bought it in the nineties: it came in a black matte glass bottle with some bright colors on it! HA! I wonder if it's even made now…should investigate.

iMav: I like the older Chanel scents for men…even the “diluted” Chanel Pour Homme…certainly the original Egoiste. Of the three Allures I write about Edition Blanche is my favorite…it IS pleasant without being dull on my skin.

Kevin! Great review and I totally agree! Never understood the fuss about Allure Sport, in fact, I hat hate it. And this boring marketing… for years now you see the ads everywhere!
A friend wore Allure (98) and I didn't like it, or, let's say I thought it was forgettable.
I wonder if us ozonic/marine haters putt off a lot of blogg readers… I must say in the mid-nineties I did quite like Kenzos “algae” scent (that dark prussian blue bottle with the wood structure, which they now sadly stripped off when it got redesigned), though not on myself. And I really like one ozonic fragrance: Lanvin OXYGÈNE. I haven't smelled it for a while – bought it for a friend years ago – but it's really fresh & citrussy with a wonderful cedar accord and an uplifting ozonic note.
I guess I liked these because they are so obviously marine/ozonic (even the name) and they don't have that sour, metallic, penetrating aspect to them.
