I got a good deal on Realm for Men yesterday, 2 half-ounce bottles for $6 and 20% off that. I'm giving it a test run, figuring that it cost less than a 1/3oz tester online. I think that I might be able to layer it with the Ungaro III if I go really light.
On that subject, look for my next installment of the thread in the next few days, a quick and easy guide to layering fragrances and not smelling like a French whore.

I've narrowed it down to the following after trying:

Joop! Homme.
I'd also like to try:
Envy, Casran and B*men(nowhere sells this!).
Do these next three follow similar themes as the first?

Yes, they're somewhat similar. Envy is really strong and sexy (not really for hot weather,) and B*Men is more subtle and less sweet than A*Men.

Also, is Joop as offensive to others as reviews make it out to be (I've only tried it on myself.)

That's a matter of personal opinion, but the majority opinion is "What the fuck is that smell?" I can't stand it.

I tried a tester of A*, and girls seemed to like it later on that night, as well as I kept catching it and it was pretty nice, so it's top. Lacoste P.H I like as it's quite a smooth scent, and joop is pretty in your face.
Thanks!
edit: I also tried Guerlain Vetiver, hoping it would be similar but better than my Lacoste Original but, alas, it smelled like soap after 20mins?

A*Men is a good scent because it's sweet and girls love it, that's why I always recommend it to younger guys as a club scent.
Like I said above, Creed makes the only Vetiver-based scent I like because it's the only one that makes the Vetiver subtle enough. I can definitely understand it smelling soapy if it doesn't match your body chemistry.
