Curve Wave, smells different enough from plain Curve and Curve Crush to not make people go, "OMG CURVE", I wear it a lot
Armani Code smells good too
I used to love Nautica Longitude/Latitude, then the bastards stopped making it :(

I stopped wearing that stuff after the junior year of highschool..So hilarious how masculine and "adult" I felt for wearing it, then a girl said "does anyone smell.. burning plastic?" so i stopped wearing it.. CK1 for a while after than then polo sport.. Now i just shower ;)

my older brother used to bathe in the stuff when he was in grade 9 so naturally I am a little turned off by it.

Noir is incredibly old and played out. If you already have some, then use it until it's gone, but I definitely wouldn't go out and buy the stuff.

I highly recommend Chanel Allure Sport, it's smart, young, and lasts forever. It was also recently introduced (~2 years ago).

Issey Miyake is good too, but it's harder to find and does have a "sweeter" smell to it.

Try also: Polo Blue, Gucci Envy, or DKNY's "Be Delicious".

I used to like it back when I was in high school (graduated 10 years ago).

My most favorite (and that of the past two girls) is Acqua di Gio. I think Eternity for men is pretty decent as well.

Never had a problem finding Issey when I need some.
All the duty-free airport shops carry it, as do many dept. stores.

I'm 32 and I haven't work Drakkar in about 15 years. I now wear some sort of Victoria's Secret cologne (blue bottle) that my wife likes.

hehe... i wore that through HS/College..

I like the scent, though I prefer Farenheit.. Drakkar was a little too subtle...
