    I don't care if this gets any hate, Paris Hilton for Men is awesome. Sweet mango, watery cucumber, a nice airiness, and green tinges make this one of my favorite high heat frags. I unashamedly love it.

      Had a bottle ever since it came out. Paris Hilton Just Me is a solid, cheap Acqua Di Gio alternative. Paris Hilton Gold Rush is in a similar scent family to One Million. No one would think of Paris Hilton to have solid men's line. Not going to win any performance awards, but affordable and pleasant scent for sure.

    Profondo is top dog for me. Not gonna lie I slept on it for a long time but finallly decided to buy it in Janurary and boy I do not regret it! It's the perfect Aquatic in my opinion and by far my favorite of the many I've had over the years.

    I like Versace, man fresh for summer because you can wear it day or night and to the gym
    . I tried wearing pour homme but I felt doushy like I should have been in a club..
    And for the polos I still love Ultra Blue the best it has that mineral salty air scent. I think Dylan blue can come off a little strong.. I love spraying it at night after a shower it smells the best in the morning . When I had it I hardly ever wore it out.. it needs time to air, like ombre leather, and Luna Rosa Black .. after that, Fabulous!

    I just picked up Polo Deep Blue Parfum and it was better than I expected. Not ground breaking. Kind of a blend of Profundo and Allure Homme Sport. Nothing natural smelling, though. Gotta go with Bvlgari Aqva Marine as the most natural smelling aquatic in the designer realm. I live 1/2 mile from the ocean and Marine smells just like a walk along the ocean in Northern California.

      1,000,000,000% and I for one am sick of it! I say we riot and pillage until Dylan Blue gets recognized with ADG/Bleu de Chanel/Rojas Elysium/Polo Deep Blue Parfum/Dior Savauge and whatever other historically great blue cologne I might have missed. One of the frag communities dirtiest little secrets is that Bleu de Chanel, as pleasant as it is, is not the attention grabbing/compliment pulling fragrance that many claim it to be. It's pleasant and inoffensive but that's about it. I use a combination of Dylan Blue and JPG Le Beau for summertime events and occasions and I've gotten more praise in one day than BDC has ever gotten me. Just my experience.

    Blue scents are like buying white socks. Even though the brand name is different they are mostly still the same. Maybe at little difference in quality or comfort but at the end of the day, look the same and smell the same. You can make them fresher, add more citrus and more woods, add more whatever. EDT, EDP, oh look more flavored water. Lol, it's like making your white socks whiter. They are all so similar no one but a person with a sock fetish notices or cares. Buy two or three quality brands and you have this entire scent spectrum covered.
