Introduced by Tom  Ford in 2007, this stands equivalent to the Black Orchid for Women. Another complex concoction of different fragrances for men!

Fragrance dominates in woody nature but gives a spicy tone.  
One of those classic woody perfumes defining masculinity.  Ideal for evening wear.

If you want to gift a perfume to your man, this would be a good choice!

AMBRE from Baldessarini

Top Notes:    Whisky Oak Accord, Mandarin, Red  Apple
Heart Notes: Violet florals, Leather Accord
Base Notes:  Oakwood, Labdanum, Amber

This perfume was a chance find when a friend got it as a gift.  From the very word, this was a fulfilling fragrance.  Appears more exotic & elegant men's wear and lasts long.

The whiskey and leather accord dominate while ambre actually becomes subtle.  Suitable for day and evening wear.

Something your women might end up finding appealing :)

ADVENTURE from DAVIDOFF

Top Notes:  Mandarin, Lemon, Bergamot, Mate Leaves,  
                 Black Pepper
Heart Notes:  Black Sesame, Pimento
Base Notes:   Cedarwood, Vetiver, White Musk
Fragrance:  Woody
Lauched in 2008 by Davidoff, I chanced upon this perfume as usual during one of my travel abroad.  Suiting to the expectation, this is a woody fragrance that fits easily for men.

Not sure why they named it as "Adventure".  If you expect it to give the adventure as being in woods, it probably fails there.  But as a perfume, it stands out and its lasting power is quite good.

I would say the perfume is warm, masculine and easily one of my choices for men.  Fragrance gets a straight Thumbs Up and can be repeated.  It fits for both day and evening wear, as long as you are able to carry the persona it portrays! :)

All improvements on this adventure based which were introduced later gets Thumbs down!  So men what are you waiting for - go grab it and enjoy ! :)

DRAKKAR NOIR from Guy Laroche

Top Notes:  Lemon, Lavender, Tangarine
Heart Notes:  Coriander, Juniper
Base Notes:  Patchouli, Oakmoss
Fragrance:  Oriental Spicy

Easily the top choice of many men and young guys.  A perfume that leaves a lasting spell on both men and women.  A classic from the 1980's and still continues to have its place.

A fragrance that defines a young man and one of those safe choices for gifting to men and can be both day & evening wear.  One of my personal choice too among men fragrances.

WOOD (for Man) from Bogner

Top Notes    :  Coriander, Bergamot, Nutmeg
Heart Notes:  Sandalwood, Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Ebony Wood, Woodsy Notes
Base Notes :  Amber, Vanilla, Musk
Fragrance  :  Woody

Yes, another rarity from the House of Bogner lauched in 2002.  This is also as good as the one for Woman.  Both Wood fragrances from Bogner rocks!

Sadly, Bogner has stopped production of these.
This is yet another day and evening wear perfume and is also a safe bet for gift.
