..."Compliment Puller/Compliment Magnet", or "Crowd pleaser" -- they replaced "Panty Dropper" as sales tactics. As other people said, they are useless buzzwords."Bubble gum scent" -- not every sweet scent is reminiscent of bubble gum.
What are your favourite layering combos.

...I used to write about layering experiments as a blog on here, but stopped for various reasons. One combination I didn't write about is Ultra Mâle with La Nuit de L'Homme Eau de Toilette The cardamom and ginger from LNDL complement the pear and cinnamon in Ultra Male. There is also a stronger burst of freshness in the opening and heart thanks to both fragrances having bergamot and lavender.

Your over-hyped duds?
by GeorgeReid | Perfume Discussions
...For the affordables, it was Bentley for Men Intense. Initially, I liked it as an affordable leather scent that is a quick lesson if someone will like the note. However, I smelled better leather scents such as Fahrenheit, Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather, etc. This made Bentley for Men Intense useless.For the mainline designers, I see the hype train trying to start on Y EDP Intense. I liked the theory of a Y EDP that muted the sweetness. However, it turned into a normal fresh scent that goes too heavy on patchouli. For niche, it's The Night. It becomes one of the best oud/rose/saffron combo available when it dries down. However, the opening is a rancid barnyard smell, and I have to wait almost two hours before getting to the good part. It's an experience, but not one worth $1000+ USD.
