A lot of people have asked me to recommend a good top-end men\'s cologne.

The one I use most often, when I\'m not using my own creations, is BelAmi, by Hermes in Paris, France. It is an archetypal, Russian leather type of perfume, with musky, woody and oriental overtones; and has been in demand steadily since the 1930\'s or so. So it is not a fad. Very masculine. It\'s not inexpensive (Almost twice what Le Male costs), but it\'s very, very good, if you like that type of scent. A bottle will last you forever, and you won\'t \"smell like a trend\".
