Default FCUK for men....

As far as colognes go I have several but I find that my FCUK for men is by far the most favored among my lady friends.
As described by one carrier...
"FCUK created by French Connection UK, He makes his presence known with an overture of crushed basil, rosemary, and lavender with a sparkling sangria accord. He leaves an aura of intrigue behind with rich green hemp accord, blended with black sage and tea leaves, and a lasting presence of CO2 Vanilla, wrapped around a warm woody base of exotic ebony and patchouli."

Coming in at a close second I also enjoy Estee Lauder's Pleasures for Men.
Top Notes: Citrus Effervescence, Nectarine, Sky Air Accord
Middle Notes: Pimento, Coriander Seed, Red Ginger
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Iridescent Ebony, Deep Forest Moss

Just wondering if any of you out there have used these and if so, knowing what they smell like, suggest anything else along those lines I should look for when I'm next out shopping?

I am replying here simply to iterate that FCUK is an actual brand/company... this guy is not trolling based on a dubiously named brand/company.

I have nothing to add to the conversation on the fragrance, though... sorry!

I haven't tried it, but my tastes have been drifting away from the designer stuff. It does seem a bit unusual (no citrus), so that's encouraging, although I'm not convinced by the base notes. I also find that often the descriptions can be quite misleading, so haven't sampled it I can't really recommend anything similar.

I'd be surprised if you find too many people familiar with it, although a poll few months ago revealed few closeted metrosexuals

In full disclaimer - I do have some FCUK clothing and consider it a significant part of my metrosexual side.


Also try posting on B&B - you may be able to get a suggestion over there.
