OK, I recently received the small bottles of Coty Raw Vanilla and Givenchy Pi (that dam-n Pi is expensive, twice the price of the Coty). I tried both on, on different days. The Raw Vanilla is a little strong at first, but after about 5 minutes, it mellows out some and leaves you with a really rich vanilla scent.... it is appropriately named. While I liked the vanilla, there seemed to be another scent mixed in with it that ruined it for me.... something that I suppose they used to try to keep it smelling masculine, but I didn't like it whatever it was. I swear I have smelled this one before on a few people. The ladies might love this stuff, but it doesn't matter to me unless I like it, so it gets a 3 out of 5.
Now the Pi.... For the price, I expected it to be as good as the Acqua di Gio and Versace Dreamer I already have. I will start out by telling you the three are very hard to compare. While the Gio is an ever-so popular citrusy fragrance, and the Dreamer is more of a "green" fragrance, the Pi is in a completely different category. Honestly I can't describe it well, but on my skin, it smells like a combo of vanilla and something else like baby powder.... it is really sweet smelling too, probably just too sweet for me I guess. I give it a 3.5 out of 5. I like the stuff, and will probably wear it occasionally, but I won't be buying more of either cologne. I don't know yet what the ladies think of them, but I can't say that I care that much.... I will stick with the ones I like best. Well, there you have it. Oh yeah, keep in mind that these smell somewhat different on different people because of body chemistry and whatnot, and your tastes might differ considerably from my tastes, but I guess this gives you a general idea of what they're like.

(you will be rank and no one will stand to be around you), and you deserve a kick to the face if you do :trouble:. Cologne is a personal thing, use it in a subtle manner e.g. dab behind your ears, dab slightly on the sides of your neck, a dab on both wrists (rub wrists together).
