QUOTE(jonny4 @ Oct 29 2009, 03:16 PM) Kouros will definitely outlast M7. Even the vintage version is no match for Kouros. Well Kouros is King. Kouros? Hmmm...interesting... let the battle of the fragrance begin...Kouros Vs Jazz Vs. M7... will be fighting againts the following categories: 1. Longetivity 2. Being "chick magnet" 3. bang for the buck

Longetivity 2. Being "chick magnet" 3. bang for the buck Longevity - Kouros. Of the many colognes i own few come close to the power of Kouros. Longevity of Kouros is measured in double figures. Chick magnet - subjective. would be to much of a generalization but Live Jazz would appeal to a larger group of women from various ages. M7 would come in 2nd. Kouros is just too polarizing. Some women find it sexy some think it stinks. bang for the buck - Kouros. Because one or 2 sprays will last you maybe 12 hours or more. A 50ml bottle will last u a long time. I am not exaggerating. btw, There is Jazz and Live Jazz. In this case i am referring to Live Jazz as me and Joey were discussing about it earlier.

Me and Joey adore M7 to bits but u didn't like it. Kouros is another love-hate fragrance not will not appeal to the masses.

btw the M7 in klcc is the old M7 and the one in pavilion is the new one. they smell slightly different. You can tell as the old m7's bottle is completely brown, while the new is transparent with only 1 side being brown

Kouros is too complex for some people.

I'm really sick of it. This post has been edited by jonny4: Oct 29 2009, 04:10 PM

Maybe because you tried too many of the same type (e.g citrus aquatics). Be more adventurous and try colognes that are not worn by many and u might detect a difference. Also, don't try too many at the same time as the nose will get tired.

If they start to smell the same ask for coffee beans

Maybe because go and try it alone kinda sux as no one else other than the ppl there will tell u to buy gift pack and stuff..lol.. Or shud I tell them Im new to all this..Then they'll try and convince me to get the exp ones..haha

Well it's their job to come and try to convince you to buy something HAHA. Not many of these sales assistants are that good anyway when it comes to giving u advice. Most of the time they only know the brand they are in charge of and nothing else. But I have met a few that are really knowledgeable. Best not to tell them u r new to this. They will just push you to buy the new releases that may or may not be good and are actually more expensive.

Haha Playboy cologne. Saw it the other day at Guardian. It's so tacky that i didn't even bother trying. For cheap deodorant sprays i prefer nivea and lynx.
