Unisex!
Its the olfactory equivalent of chewing a bulls testicle
while punching a bear.
Even Vinny finds it a challenge and he shaves
with an exposed brick wall.

Irrespective of whether I have other frags on the go, I notice that most of my jumpers and scarves smell of an amalgamation of the Serge Lutens offerings I've worn this year: Chergui, Daim Blonde and Santal Majascule. Make of that what you will!

I chuffing love oakmoss and it gets no stronger than in Quorum. It's my Thursday scent ... followed by Tabac on Friday. Curious Quorum Silver is the polar opposite, dissipating faster than 4711!

I recently purchased a bottle of Reflection Man from Amouage. To me, it smells like a refined Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier & I get well over 12 hours with it. Great fragrance.
Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud lasts and lasts ans lasts. I made the mistake to put a tiny bit from a sampler on my skin at John Lewis. I hated it immediately and the stench just wouldn't go away for ages, even after a shower. Vile, vile, vile and 150 quid a bottle as well... shudder...

£150 for something that is just there to smell good - or bad as the case may be?
There's plenty of lovely stenches to be had for less than £20.

I didn't try it to buy it - curiosity got me. For nice and expensive smellies (not the Oud) I normally reason thus: Gram for gram it's 20 times dearer than (say) Cella Colonia Classica. Is it nicer than the Cella? Probably yes - barely. 20 times nicer? No. Does it last 20 times longer? No. Why bother? Next.LeeBot said:

Just ordered some on your recommendation. Will report findings on arrival.
But someone please help me......several bods have mentioned that Kouros lasts all day on them. I have the EDT as well as the original Aramis EDT. And, like all other stuff I've ever used, the smell has gone within an hour or so. I feel so cheated. Sometimes I get a whiff of someone, in passing, as it were, and whatever it is they're using is really strong. Is it true some people retain their smells longer than others?

Totally, it's all to do with how your skin reacts to a certain smell, my Jean Paul Gaultier smells distinctly different on my son after a few hours as compared to me.
And I've had as you say the same experience with certain bottle that after an hour, it's just gone, and someone else still smells like it 10 hours later.
I try to take a punt on new smells as little as possible, and will gladly whore out the samples if they are available in shops (or from friends) more then once for the same scent just to get an idea if it works with me. And I dont try it on the wrist etc, my skin composition/oils etc are totally different there. Needs to go on the FACE to know how it'll pan out! Or I just buy a small tester via ebay, that can save you some monies as well.
