This week’s scent review is another one from the 90’s and is from the back of my fragrance draw. Named after the Greek god, Xeryus Rouge is a scent from Givenchy which was launched in 1995, making it 20 years old this year! Although it’s 20 years old, it’s still in production today, which means you can buy it and smell like the 90’s 😀
This week for my fragrance review I look at another old scent, Burberry Weekend. I got this small bottle quite a few years ago as a gift for Christmas. Weekend was actually launched in 1997, making this almost 20 years old, but despite that, it’s still available.Read More
This week’s scent review I’ve dug out 212 MEN. It was actually my 2nd scent of Carolina Herrera, I got it quite a while after I bought 212 Sexy MEN, since I really liked that. I actually did blind buy this, and did buy it on the strength that I liked Sexy MEN a lot, so thought that I would try another from Carolina Herrera.
It’s another one from the late 90’s, it was launched in 1999 but is still available to buy today.
Lynx has unveiled it’s latest collection, Lynx Black, which is all about creating an understated style. In a world which is getting ever-louder, Lynx believes that a subtle approach is the way forward, flipping the script, it’s all about bringing the quiet.
The range comprises of a Body Spray, Antiperspirant, Shampoo and Hair Clay which embrace the individual style of city streets. The packaging goes back to basics, with a minimal, sleek black colours throughout, giving it a refined look.
This embodies the scent which is of the same style, a sophisticated and masculine scent which encourages guys to embrace a personal style.
The scent was developed by iconic fragrance expert, Ann Gottlieb, who created one of the most legendary men’s fragrance ever, CK One. The premium new Lynx Black scent opens with fresh notes of Watermelon Ester, bergamot and frozen pear – evoking a sleek, sophisticated aroma. Combined with fresh fruits and a blend of moss, cedar wood and patchouli, the scent is complex, yet a subtle fragrance.
Lynx Black is all about guys showcasing their own personal style, exuding confidence with a minimal style. I will be showcasing my own understated look, perfect for a night out on the town, with a quiet, toned down yet smart and sleek look, laid back but maintaining a stylish edge.
The Lynx Black collection is in stores now, with body spray costing around £3.29, shower gel from around £2.54 and the casual styling clay costing around £4.29.

For this week’s men’s fragrance review I have dug this out of my collection. I can’t say it’s one of my favourites, as you can tell from the amount left in the bottle, but that doesn’t mean it’s not nice. This is D&G Masculine from Dolce and Gabbana. It’s said to be discontinued now, but can still be found in some places.
A couple of week’s ago I wrote about Jean Paul Gaultier’s first and most infamous male scent, Le Male. After really enjoying this scent I got Fleur Du Male when it was released in 2007. All the classic JPG trademarks are present; From the torso shaped body to the tin style of box this fragrance comes in.
With this following on from a much loved scent, it had a lot to live up to.
This week’s fragrance review takes a look at something a little older which is still available to buy today; 212 Sexy Men by Carolina Herrera. This scent was released in 2006, and I bought it not soon after. It was in fact the very first fragrance I bought from Carolina Herrera, and a one which I loved.
In the past few weeks I have been writing my fragrance reviews about the new scents which I’ve got over Christmas and this Winter. Now I’m going back in time to something which I’ve owned for a long time, and I’m sure you have too. I am talking about the classic known as Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male.
Issey Miyake Pour Homme is an old scent, with it being released way back in 1994, however it remains a firm favourite with many and is a real classic fragrance. It’s actually the latest Issey Miyake fragrance I’ve got, with L’Eau D’Issey and L’eau Bleue D’Issey being the other ones which I got a while back.
The pour homme came recommended, a lot of people rave about this, so I decided to give it a try, and after sampling it I really enjoyed it, so got a bottle.
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is the second EDP I’ve had from Tom Ford, with Noir being the first which I got for Christmas in 2013. Grey Vetiver was released in 2009 and the bottle is the same style as some previous Tom Ford bottles from the masculine line.
It’s a flat, ribbed, translucent style with a stylish silver front plate, and is as classy as it smells.
