PGG’s four picks on Men’s Scents
Looking forward to buy a new perfume or cologne? Well you have come to the right place for suggestions. Here are some of the best scents for men I have discovered lately, from the high-end ones suitable for a coat and tie affair to the low-end ones for your casual outdoor activities.
Lacoste Essential
This is highly recommended when you go out on a date or for formal occasions. The scent is elegant, refined and manly. What’s so good about it is that it is perfect for the Philippine climate because the more you sweat, the better it smells on you. I’m sure you know by now that women are turned-on by the pheromones in men’s sweat so this one is really a must-have. In my own experience, I have received several compliments after wearing this perfume.
Bulgari Aqua Pour Homme Marine
A refreshing high-end scent for men which is suitable for daily use. It stays on for long so you wouldn’t need to spray every now and then. It’s kind of difficult to describe the “aquatic” scent so I suggest that it would be best for you to smell it in the perfumery section of department stores.
Mossimo Fusion
If you are an athletic guy looking for an inexpensive body spray, this one is for you. Best for guys who are always out on sports or gimmicks, this one is surely a must-have since it also smells better as you sweat.
Memo Rush
Recently released as a men’s scent, Memo Rush is also an inexpensive cologne which is best for daily use in the office or in school. After trying it a few times, I have noticed that wherever I go, people seem to be guessing who is wearing that fresh-smelling scent. This one is definitely worth the try!
These are just some of the colognes and perfumes that I have for now and I’ll be posting more about fragrances as soon as I discover good ones. For the mean time, you can also suggest your own scents by posting your comments below.

Cool entry. I’m a sucker of scents. My all time fave so far is Clinique Happy for Men. Just sharing. =)
LOL.
makr that,”…sucker for…”
^Double FAIL
Mukhang ang mahal naman ng first two eh, hehe.
Anyways, my all-time favorite is 11:55 from Oxygen. Inexpensive and really smells good. I received a lot of compliments, and people ask me ano perfume mo?
And I humorously answer them:
“Wala naman. Pinagpapawisan lng talaga ako.” hahahaha.
nooo.. shh.. Lacoste Essential has been my one and only secret weapon
)
Pipo – I heard too that it’s good
dumont – LOL!
Bunsoi – Yup, mabango din yan
Michael – haha! I agree, Lacoste essential is a secret weapon. Shhhh…
double LOL. XD
have y’all heard of avatar by coty. it’s my favorite scent. i find it refreshing; the sweet spicy scent possesses a blend of pineapple, clear woods, coriander and bergamot. and not as expensive as the leading international brands.
i also like ck’s euphoria for men. do remember the bench scents back in the day? amoy bench eight throughout high school.
@Pipo – Yeah i love that too unfortunately it’s too expensive for a student like me.lolz
Clinique Happy for Men it is!
i also got four faves in my closet. 1st is Burberry the BEAT, it has
an addictive woody fragrance, gotta love the bottle! 2nd is
GUCCI by Gucci, its elegant, cool, modern, and contemporary.
3rd is Terre D’Hermes, its minimalistic and comparatively transparent.
smells woody. Last is a unisex perfume: Hermès Un Jardin en Méditerranée
its citrusy fig with a heavy cedar undertone. Hope u guys try them
nd im sure ul like em too!!
I agree with the above choices but not for Mossimo fushion.. tingin ko ibang category yun dapat.. :p
hmnn may ibang dumont dito, sino kaya yun Chris hehehe. though natawa ako sa comment nya
:):)
Tanong lang. San nabibili yang mga scents?
@Dumont – oo nga, kala ko ikaw yun.
@anon – meron sa department stores.
i just bought memo rush yesterday. and it’s really really great!
bro how much ung memo rush? prang gusto ko try..^^,
im loving burberry summer (2009) at the moment. smells a lot better than its 2008 edition. some all time favorites include burberry weekend and clinique happy for men as both has light and not so over powerful scent. a fourth favorite is issey miyake’s l’eau bleue D’Issey pour homme for its long-lasting freshness that even my laundry hamper smells Issey after i toss my used shirt in it. for my all time favorite, local and affordable staple, it’s got to be bench b20. it like a grown up version of your baby cologne (e.g. nenuco or denenes) and never fails to ellicit compliments whenever I put it on.
On my Xmas wish list is givenchy’s play endorsed by justin timberlake. i have tried their testers and its another one of those light and not too powerful scent that im crazy about.
Wow.. i didn’t know that MEMO RUSH is fresh smelling at all.. ill give it a try..
….there are many favorites but I recommend Lacoste Red, Bulgari Blue, Hugo boss Red, Issey Miyake Summer, John Varvatos, Chanel, Curve, Carolina Herrera for men and CK Euphoria
…Bvlgari Aqua, Burberry Weekend, CK Crave, D&G Light Blue for Men, Clean Men, Hugo by Hugo Boss, CK Eternity, Armani Code Black
cno po nakakaalm ng “jordan black extreme”, parang agnun ung title but not pretty sure…san po xa nabibili at ano po brand?tnx po

Smells like Bench Desired. Seems like they both have the same source for the fragrance oil…or not!
OT: Bench Pure Passion smells something like the blue colored fragrance I once bought from Sara Lee! Guess many fragrances just interchange fragrance oils. Also, Lacoste L12.12 Vert smells like Axe Phoenix…
will try the memo rush next!!
Can anyone please please comment here where MEMO RUSH is sold and how much? please
Yes! I second the motion. San ba nakakabili at magkano yang MEMO RUSH na yan? it might be my “gamechanger” dun sa nililigawan ko. So please pakisabi naman where to get one. PLEASE. Thank you!
