4 Best Smelling Bijan Colognes

August 29, 2018 by Best Men's Colognes

Bijan has garnered a reputation as a high end and expensive luxury clothing brand over the decades. However, it’s fragrance line is actually quite affordable, and its namesake cologne has been on the market for years at a great price point. In this post, I want to present what I feel are the 4 best men’s scents by Bijan to have been released up to this point in time. While I have linked each cologne to its page on Amazon, a couple of these can be harder to come by, and may fetch a higher price…but seller prices are always changing so check to see where it is currently at.

Bijan Style By Bijan For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 2.5 Ounces– A familiar and clean blend of citrus and sandalwood. This is a nice everyday scent for guys who want a versatile cologne that smells quite nice and won’t overpower. Style is fresh and simple.

Bijan By Bijan For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 2.5 Ounces– A classic in the masculine powerhouse fragrance space of the 1980s. Bijan for Men is a fougere, that is dipped in honey, and dotted with herbal notes. It has a slightly spicy crisp dryness, surprising complexity for the price, and a clean soapy undercurrent running through the entire wear.

Bijan Black By Bijan For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 2.5 oz– A unique scent with the addition of the pine note. However, it doesn’t have that car air freshener aroma. Instead, Bijan Black, utilizes vanilla, orange blossom, and amber to create a floral blend that is paired with woody scents and a slightly spicy musk. Smooth and interesting cool weather cologne that really does the men’s floral based fragrance very well.

Bijan Wicked By Bijan For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 2.5 Ounces– It draws pretty accurate comparisons with Azzaro Chrome, but this is a fairly straightforward wear, that still delivers the goods. Wicked has that sort of aquatic profile but this one can come on pretty sharp, so I wouldn’t overdo it with the sprays, if you come across a bottle.

Best Perfumes for College Girls: Top Student Fragrances

March 28, 2025August 23, 2018 by Best Men's Colognes

Certain perfumes tend to correspond towards a certain age group. There are some really great fragrances out there which are a bit too mature for a teenage girl but are perfect for a businesswoman.

Scents for teenagers or college girls should be fun, playful, and energetic at the least and sexy, sophisticated, and sensual for those college women who have a bit more elegance to their personal style. It’s not always a cut and dry thing based on age group as personality and style comes into play when choosing a scent.

For this list, I tried to choose perfumes for teenage girls or college students which run the gamut of styles. I have selected plenty of inexpensive scents as well as some which are more expensive so that you can find a perfect fragrance within your budget.

Inexpensive Perfumes

CK Euphoria Forbidden Women Eau De Parfum Spray, EDP 3.4 fl oz, 100 ml The original Euphoria perfume is the best selling of the two but Forbidden is an amazing and flirty fragrance that is sure to turn some heads. The top notes are fruity, middle are floral, and it ends with a blends of woodsy notes and musk.

Britney Spears Women’s Fantasy Eau de Parfum, 100 ml/3.3 oz.– This is one celebrity fragrance, which is actually very good. It has a nice, sweet aroma perfect for a younger girl with a playful personality. Not a scent that will cry out sophistication but a well-made fragrance none the less. This is the most popular of the line, but under the Fantasy Banner there are several awesome options, such as Sunset Fantasy.

Pink Sugar Perfume for Women 3.3 fl oz Eau de Toilette– Vanilla and caramel highlight this scents notes. It is another sweet, candy centered perfume but this one has a certain sexiness to it.

It’s part floral, part aquatic, and provides a clean and crisp scent. Notes include apple blossom, jasmine, black tea, violet, and honeysuckle among others.

Guess by Marciano 3.4oz 100ml EDP Spray– Guess Marciano is an underrated perfume in my opinion. It definitely has a classic style while including some notes such as star fruit and orange liquor to give it a unique fragrance.

Burberry Brit Eau De Parfum Spray 3.3 oz/100 ml– Brit seems to be many people’s favorite Burberry scent and it does smell great. I like the woman’s perfume version a lot just like the men’s in this one. London is another good choice from Burberry.

7 Best Rose Scented Colognes for Men

August 25, 2025February 24, 2018 by Best Men's Colognes

Right off the bat, I have to say that I am not personally a fan of rose. I don’t hate it, but it’s really not my thing. However, I can appreciate the note when used in a fragrance correctly. Much in the same way, I hate overused oud notes, but some of my favorite colognes have that as an ingredient. It can be done well and this list is all about appreciating those scents that feature the rose note prominently. Now, there are some unisex scents on the list and one where the rose is more of a support player. That being said, I selected 7 fragrances, so there should be something for just about every taste.

Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 1.6 Ounce– Fresh green rose with a hint of musky spice and honey. This is a unisex fragrance with a cold metallic feel that reminds me somewhat of Hugo Red, in that regard. Good longevity.

UNGARO III Pour Homme Classic Version for Men Eau De Toilette Spray 1.7 oz / 50 ml– Rose, meet vodka and leather. Doesn’t sound great? Well, it is. This early 90s release from Ungaro is sexy and smooth with an interesting progression of notes including lavender and some citruses.

Cartier Declaration D’un Soir Eau de Toilette Spray for Men, 3.3 Ounce– Rose with sandalwood and pepper. This has the rose note yet manages to remain a masculine scent through and through. My Declaration D’un Soir Review

EGOISTE POUR HOMME Eau De Toilette Spray FOR MEN 3.4 Oz / 100 ml– Rose isn’t the main attraction necessarily in this Chanel gem, but it is one of the main players. The floral is understated by creates a wonderful contrast between the cinnamon spice and familiar sandalwood notes. A classic fragrance.

PORTRAIT OF A LADY by FREDERIC MALLE 1.7oz/50ml– Yes, it is a women’s perfume. However, for the right person it is an intriguing ‘rose’ option. Why? The smoky incense and patchouli, give it a rough and dirty feel, that can really stand out. Careful, this one is a bomb, so don’t over spray.

Potion Royal Black Eau de Parfum Spray 100ml by DSQUARED2– Rose, incense, oud, and leather. Dark, rich, and hyper-masculine. Potion Royal Black is smoky and leathery with that added rose element that really makes this a unique scent. Less incense than the above, Portrait of a Lady, but more of a tobacco/leather blend.

AMOUAGE Lyric Men’s Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 fl. oz.– Setting aside my own personal dislike of just about every Amouage scent that I’ve tried, many people do seem to dig Lyric Man. The rose note is met with citrus and the usual oriental spices of this brand. Like their other colognes, this one is loud and long-lasting.

Nike Epic React Flyknit Full Wear Review

March 24, 2025February 16, 2018 by Best Men's Colognes

Now that I’ve had the Nike Epic React Flyknit sneakers for over a week, I thought that it’d be a good time to post a review on this site. I’ve already created a YouTube video about my experiences with it (posted below), so, if you’d rather watch a video review instead of reading my post…you have the option. These sneakers are the exclusive White Fusion colorway that Nike released to their Nike Plus members and then sold out of within a few hours. In this post, I’ll cover what I like and dislike about these shoes, show pictures, and what I think about how they perform/look overall. Try the Epic React Fusion from Nike

Fit

I have a wider foot, but seeing as I couldn’t try these on before I purchased them, I went with my usual 11.5 size. Nike running shoes have a tendency to run narrow and while the Epic React Flyknit isn’t super narrow, it is still a bit of a tight fit on my feet.

Over the big toe area, it is definitely a snug fit, and something that bothered me somewhat during running. For most people who don’t have a wider foot, this shouldn’t be a problem. In my case, I should have gone a half size up for maximum comfort.

That being said, it isn’t too much of a deal breaker. It’s my biggest gripe with these sneakers, however, it simply means that I will no longer use them for running. Strictly casual use from here on out.

Style

I really liked how this colorway looked, which is obviously why I shelled out the cash for them. Do I think that they’re the prettiest shoes ever? No. I actually like how the Adidas Boost looks in the triple white colorway better (which is one of the few colorways I like on the Adidas Boost). I don’t own a pair of Boosts, so I cannot do a comparison, on these two sneakers.

That being the case, the Epic React Flyknit does still looks great on foot in my opinion. When just sitting on its own, it has a tendency to droop, as it’s so light and the Flyknit is thin; but when worn with jeans or shorts, they have quite an appealing aesthetic.

Check out the video review, for shots of the shoe on my feet.

React Technology

How does the React cushioning feel?

Great.

No, seriously, I love the React cushioning. These shoes are super light (8.6 oz, I think?) and the React does have that cloud/pillow like feeling as you walk. It has a certain level of give but it’s not like you’re ‘sinking’ down into the shoe. There is a bounce back and enough stiffness to give stability as you walk/run.

Again, I have no clue how it compares to Boost. Though, I don’t particularly care, because these are so much more comfortable than my other Nike sneakers.

The feeling in the heel of the shoe is my favorite aspect of the Epic React Flyknit. The cushioning there is so responsive and soft, that if it weren’t for the sizing issue, I would forget that I had them on.

Yes, I did run in them twice, on a treadmill. The big toe tightness bothered me, but I enjoyed the rest of the shoe. The react cushioning did have a nice bounce to it with each stride and the light weight was noticeable, even with the fact that I usually run in a pretty light weight Nike.

I’m done running with this pair in particular, but if I find the right size when the other colorways are released, I just might pick me up a pair to run in.

Overall

I really like these sneakers. I wouldn’t say they’re perfect in terms of styling and sizing but if I had gotten a size 12 and it fit correctly, I’d probably be raving about how awesome they are.

Styling is good but not magnificent. I think they look best on feet and when viewed from the front. Also, since they are a running shoe, the best way to wear it with shorts. Though, casually with jeans, I feel that they still have a solid look with the white/white/racer blue colorway.

Running felt good. I am a casual runner (mostly treadmill), so, those who do more serious training might need something more specific for their needs. Just general running, these should do well for most people.

Most importantly, comfort was exactly what I expected and wanted with the React cushioning. I do still need to get a correct size, but once I do, I’ll have found an almost ideal, multi-purpose sneaker.

Nike Epic React Flyknit Exclusive ‘White Fusion’ Colorway

March 24, 2025February 7, 2018 by Best Men's Colognes

While this website does deal almost exclusively in the fragrance arena, I do on occasion branch out into some other aspect of men’s fashion…just not often. As such, I figured today was a good day to do so since I received shipment of the exclusive ‘White Fusion’ Colorway of the new Nike Epic React Flyknit.

These running shoes were available for Nike Plus members through the Nike app and went on sale 2/5/18.

They apparently sold out in a few hours, but I was early enough to get my hands on a pair of size 11.5, and had them shipped overnight from Nike. I’ve snapped a bunch of pictures of my pair and thought I’d share for those who’ve been looking for these. Plus, I have the video uploaded of the unboxing and what they look like when worn on my feet.
