I know I'm old, but my ultimate favorite is Canoe. It's been around since the 1960's. It is unobtrusive and has a wonderful outdoorsey smell. Those other ones you listed tend to make me have headaches or trouble breathing from whatever ingredients they add to the perfume. You have to remember when you wear cologne that worn properly you don't just "take a bath in it" and reek so much that after you leave a room, the other person can still smell your cologne scent up to a half hour or more as you had put way too much on. I love cologne on men when it is not overdone or too strong. The musk scents need very little to go a long way.

givenchy's "very irresistible." it's in a pink/fuchsia bottle.
Sephora: Givenchy Very Irresistible Givenchy: Women's Fragrance (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P45600)
Very Irresistible Givenchy
An homage to Givenchy's early days when fashion and cinema were intertwined, Very Irresistible Givenchy, unites the elegant tradition of French style with the energy and pop-culture pizzazz of American film. Bursting with roses and infused with star anise, and verbena leaf, Very Irresistible Givenchy is a fresh departure from the traditional floral fragrance.
Notes:
Centifolia Rose, Peony Rose, Fantasia Rose, Passion Rose, Emotion Rose, Verbena Leaf, Star Anise.
Style:
Vibrant. Brilliant. Captivating.
armani's "diamonds."

Dior Higher. I used it for a good 4 years until they stopped it.
Still working on the last bottle I bought but I'm not sure what I'll switch to when this one runs out..

I had a cologne from a yard sale that I loved
but I don't know what my x ever did with it.
It was called Macho and I think it was by Faberge.
I don't think they make it any more but you can find some online

Comments on this post
Tfrog disagrees: Cologne, not perfume.
Hmm. Thanks for noting that observation again, but I do believe that point was cleared up about 80 days ago. I'm a purfume fanatic. I was dizzy with excitement. So sue me. Perhaps you might have taken the time to read the post I wrote just 20 minutes after the first one (still about 80 days ago), in which you would have found the names and descriptions of two very stylish, delicious and super sexy colognes that pass your test and I know are on the market.
What's the dilly, my brother? Might as well not exist if he can't buy them. Ah, technicalities. All you need is one bad mood and they're everywhere. : D
Anyway, I'm still going to do you a favor.
You're wrong.
Dior higher *is* on the market. Go ahead. Stock up. Want to be sure-sure?

Revelation: compliments and niceties are even lovelier than cologne. I'm a happy, happy girl. Wait, you did that! Thank you.
KBC, I bet you smell hot.
Alty told me your knickers smell like strawberries.
I know they say you can look but you can't touch, but can you touch if you don't look?

ESCADA SENTIMENT
I'm a lady and I purchased it because of the
Awesome aroma and when my brother came to visit, I introduced it to him and he is totally
In love with this fragrance that I bought him a bottle for his birthday and he insisted that I buy
3 bottles. It is fabulous! Trust me! I noticed
That Marshall's, Loehmans and TJ Max sometimes carry it. "J"
