One Way Ticket to Sweetsville with DEMETER

For the last few days I have been posting reviews of designer brand fragrances and I am thrilled to be jumping off that treadmill for a moment to tell you about some fragrances that are just plain and simple fun for the nose. It is very easy to get sucked into the Demeter FragranceRead more

GUESS DARE Homme – Modern Classic

This was a blind buy at my local pharmacy (Shopper’s/Pharmaprix) where they liquidate big brand fragrances for $20/bottle. I like the GUESS brand and had never explored any of their fragrances. Considering the price point and the few review highlights I took in while shopping, I figured this was worth a try. Presentation wise, thisRead more

Salvatore Ferragamo – A Subtil Discovery

I often impulse purchase fragrances at my local “Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix” (Eastern Canada). They have a small section where they liquidate brand name fragrances for a flat at $20 / bottle. When compared to the on line fragrance liquidator, this is quite the bargain as there is no nasty shipping costs. Admittedly, itRead more

Looking for Trouble with Rumble 59

You probably know by now that I don’t review fragrance quite the same way as other bloggers. I am not a complicate man and for me fragrances are more about the raw emotions. If a fragrance doesn’t make me feel something or bring me to a special destination, then it doesn’t deserve to come homeRead more

Tabac Noir – An everyday tobacco fragrance

For some time now, I have stopped expecting to find breath taking fragrances in department stores and perfumes shops that carry the big names. I have always loved fragrances, but up until I started working on the Style4men project, I had very little exposure to the whole underworld of real creative beauty. Fragrances that areRead more

Sex & Cigars by Mammoth Beard

First off, I am all about niche fragrances. The main stream party is way too busy with an abundance of fragrances that are often very similar. Mammoth Beard – Sex & Cigars is outside that very busy path. The Sex & Cigars name creates a visual and a certain expectation. The first two aromas IRead more

450 XFACTOR by Sweet Fumes

It is always with great interest that I put my nose to a new fragrance. With Sweet Fumes, this is even more of a treat as I was invited to the inner circle. I met Sweet Fumes through Instagram and was very interested in their signature fragrance “450 XFACTOR”. Sweet Fumes offers their fragrances inRead more

Halloween Man X

This was an impulse purchase after watching a few reviews that commended its originality. Based on the notes listed on Fragrantica, I was very interested since everything in there appealed to me. Top Notes: Lavender, Cardamom, Lemon Middle Notes: Coffee, Whiskey, cinnamon. Leather, Mineral notes Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Incense, Amber Yeah, you see itRead more

Yacht Man – Chocolate

Fragrances have always been something of interest and over the course of the last year I have certainly been able to explore more fragrances than ever before. These encounters have been documented through Style4men both here on the site as well as on our Instagram companion page. Most of the fragrances I have been tryingRead more

Scentuary’s Impression of Baccarat Rouge 540

Continuing on the “interpretation” fragrance space, I ordered a small 10 ml fragrance oil from Scentuary of their impression of Baccarat Rouge 540. BR540 is a very exclusive and expensive fragrance by “Maison Francis Kurkdjian”. Based on the notes identified below, I figured that this would most certainly be of interest. Since I have hadRead more
