DESCRIPTION
BOTTLE
Acqua Di Gio
Giorgio Armani
Interestingly, both the men and women we spoke to really liked this cologne. Aqua di Gio has a strong citrus tone combined with a hint of rosemary and offers a spicy aquatic freshness. Men prefer its summer feel and women like the fresh scent.
Recommended for summer days. Sit on a terrace sipping cocktails or meet up with a business partner on a hot sunny afternoon. Our fashion panel also recommends this with a more casual dress code. Buy it

Dolce and Gabbana
D&G
Amongst the newer colognes, Dolce and Gabbana offers a woody yet fruity scent. This fragrance has a hint of peppermint and a whiff of tobacco. Like many other colognes, it will smell drastically different depending on one's natural body aroma.
Recommended for evening dates. Not to be applied on a first date because of its strong scent. If you are going to a crowded place, such as a dance club or bar, this is perfect. D&G suits an elegant look. Not necessarily a suit, but definitely not jeans. Buy it

Cool Water
Davidoff
A classic: cool, refreshing and spicy with a hint of amber and smoothness of lavender. This aroma will drive any woman up the wall. Many women have positive things to say about this cologne.
Recommended for daytime. Either with a suit or casual wear. As you can imagine, it is a subtle aroma perfect for the office or restaurant. Just make sure you have this around the bachelor pad. Buy it

Eternity
Calvin Klein
Eternity morphs jasmine, sage, basil, and rosewood, and is recommended for daytime wear. Obsession, on the other hand, is very sweet and woody, blending lavender with mandarin and nutmeg, suggested on special occasions.
Recommended for outside wear. A complete scent for a complete man. Buy it

Emporio Armani
Giorgio Armani
Very sharp, this cologne blends spices, aromatic woods and musk. Armani comes in a sleek black design. This is a great gift for him and her, as the company offers cologne and perfume to both genders.
Recommended for daytime. Great for the office or business meetings, Emporio Armani is actually perfect for the bachelor, as its unique scent will make any woman turn her head for a second whiff. Buy it

Polo Sport
Ralph Lauren
Another woman's favorite, this one is similar to Cool Water, but is admittedly far less spicy. Polo Sport is a refreshing amber fragrance that blends sporty florals.
Recommended for daytime. In fact, this is a perfect cologne to take with you on a trip to a ski resort. It is very cool and has the natural ability to help your breathing on the slopes -- and your chances off of them. Buy it

Le Male
Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male comes in a very nice bottle and packs a punch. Le Male is a sweet and woody fragrance with a hint of mint, and a dash of orange and lavender to smooth it out. The cologne is perfect for the winter time when you need somebody to warm you up.
Recommended for daytime. The sweet scent makes it the perfect cologne for daytime outings. But because of its sweet aroma, go easy on the cologne. The women who like it, however, will definitely not get enough of your, hmm, its sweetness. Buy it

BOTTLE
L'Eau D'Issey
Issey Miyake
Citrus with a hint of tobacco leaf aroma. A very sexy scent, almost tangy. Again, depending on your natural scent, Issey Miyake bares a resemblance to Dolce & Gabbana, as both colognes blend tobacco and lemon scents.
Recommended for daytime. Good for the office or restaurants, this one will surely please the ladies with its original scent, as well as impress your colleagues. Buy it

Chrome
Loris Azzaro
Refreshing and fruity, this unisex scent possesses a bouquet of flowers. It is slightly similar to CK's One in terms of citrus scent, but it is far sharper and not as fruity
Recommended for nightime outings. Its metallic bottle makes it perfect for traveling and going to the gym, as it will not break easily. Buy it

Dunhill
Dunhill
This woody fragrance is spicy and fresh with a blend of fresh jasmine, lemon, sandalwood, and warm spices. This cologne is far more subtle than most of what is introduced today, and has a certain conservative charm.
Recommended for the office. The perfect cologne for a man to wear at the office or to business meetings. More sophisticated than many of the colognes here; definitely something a more mature gentleman would wear. Buy it

Hugo
Hugo Boss
Slightly woody, this refreshing citrus aroma is spicy yet smooth, thanks to the lavender and amber fragrances. Slightly reminiscent of CK's Escape, but not as strong or sweet.
Recommended for any time of day. Perfect for clubbing and bar-hopping in the evening. Women like its subtlety and smoothness. Buy it

Joop Nightflight
Joop!
Joop Nightflight is a refreshing, spicy, lavender, amber fragrance. This bouquet is reinforced with a blend of fresh citrus florals. Interestingly, this smells just as good on women as it does on men. A very smooth, aquatic feel.
Recommended for the office. It is rather subtle so it won't upset the sensitive noses in your surroundings. Buy it

Pi
Givenchy
This energetic, sensual and woody fragrance contains a dash of tangerine and pine scents. A very popular scent among every woman that we asked; the men echo that this is a favorite of theirs as well.
Recommended for crowded places. Also great when you plan on making a lasting first impression. Buy it

Herrera
Carolina Herrera
Sharp, oriental and woody. Professional scent combines tobacco, citrus and musk. A perfect choice if you want to come across as sophisticated and mature.
Recommended for daytime and the office. Like Dunhill, this is something more conservative and elegant. Not too strong, but not very subtle either. Buy it
