Why don't you just make this into a poll?
I vote for Eau Sauvage.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Monsieur de Givenchy, but all three are great.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
Of the three, I voted for Chanel Pour Monsieur, but my favorite 1950s-60s classic cologne is Eau d'Hermès.
+1 Chanel Pour Monsieur, but I'd also add Guerlain Vetiver (vintage).
All three are excellent. Voted Eau Sauvage.
Eau Sauvage (vintage only)
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Voted Chanel, great stuff!
Tough call, but went for Chanel over Eau Sauvage (just)... I've never tried Monsieur de Givenchy.
LOST! in scent and music
Eau sauvage
Voted for Chanel although I do like the other two.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
...Eau de Guerlain...!
Chanel pour monsieur
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
Armani Eau pour Homme (Vintage), Eau de Guerlain or Eau de Rochas Homme are all preferable to the 3 in the vote. Even O de Lancôme and Eau de Rochas (without the Homme) should be considered.
All of these are soon to be gutted by new EU regulation so hurry...
Vintage PdN New York
Eau Sauvage. The 400 lb gorilla in the room
These things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, the Truth--Buddha
Dior Fahrenheit got my vote
AUSSIES, join our exclusive niche split club.
Currently splitting:
Amouage - Tribute, Homage and OPUS VII
Andy Tauer - Noontide Petals, Miriam and Loretta
HdP - Veni, Vidi, Vici and Rosam, Ambrarem, Petroleum
The Different Company - Oud Shamash, Oud for Love and Aurore Nomade
Guerlain - Sous Le Vent, Angélique Noire, Bois d'Armenie, Cruel Gardenia, Rose Barbare
and many more niches up for split...
All classics, I can't vote for just one of these. I'm wearing original Monsieur De Givenchy aftershave which is more subtle than the others but magnificent. There are plenty of times when I would rather wear something stronger and would go for the others (probably Chanel Pour Monsieur as a day to day scent as Eau Sauvage can be a little bit loud in it's old fashioned sort of way.)
Not even sure what the "same genre" is... but my fave classic is definitely:
eau savage beats pour monsieur in quality, wearability and overall scent.
Love the Chanel, like the Dior, have fond memories of the Givenchy, but Guerlain Vetiver is the classic of choice for me.
SALES JANUARY 2013 ..http://community.basenotes.net/showthread.php?t=232133
*** SPECIAL - LUI ROCHAS , 3.3oz Sealed ***
FLACON .. Updating Soon flacon.ambaric.net/viewtopic.php?t=43
I enjoy either of the three, but if I had a choice, it would be difficult to decide between Eau Sauvage and Chanel pour Monsieur.
Last edited by Trauerkraut; 31st December 2012 at 07:21 AM.
I voted CpM but in the same genre I also rate Goutal's Eau de Sud and Detaille's Aeroplane.
Monsieur Givenchy is just a little more refined than Pour Monsieur so it gets the nod from me. Cheers! Happy New Year!
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
Hard choice, but because I think that the IFRA restrictions have been deleterious to the genre of masculine citruses (without bergamot or oakmoss, they smell emptier).
I recently smelled Eau d'Hadrien, and all I could think was lemon pledge ...
All good, but Eau Sauvage is easily my favourite of the three.
I also like Bois du Portugal, which I prefer over New York in the warmer seasons.
........bumping in the hope more people will vote.
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
I didn't vote as I couldn't choose between MDG and CPM but at a push I will now vote Monsieur de Givenchy for it's subtlety.
Much as I admire Eau Sauvage, as a teenager in the seventies in the UK, every second man was wearing this fragrance and it sort of killed it for me

Selection verte, bois du portugal
David -
I took the road less traveled and chose the 4th option...all three and more! Each is a wonderful and classic fragrance. I have, respect and enjoy all three of them in both Vintage and recent/current formulations.
I think that they all offer something slightly different to the genre and I find myself adoring the one I am wearing at the time. I did wear Vintage Eau Sauvage to my oldest son's First Communion last May on a warm, sunny day in Northern California. It was fantastic. However, I have also enjoyed Monsieur de Givenchy and Chanel Pour Monsieur on special occasions as well.
You cannot go wrong here...the question is, which one do you find a personal affinity with most (if you were forced to choose)? For me, I am lucky and Blessed - as I get to choose which to wear (Vintage or Newer reformulation)...along with other timeless citrus scents including Acqua di Parma (various bottlings), Armani Eau Pour Homme (Vintage & Current), YSL Pour Homme (Vintage and Recent, but not current) as well as YSL Pour Homme Haute Concentration - and also Monsieur Balmain, Eau de Rochas Pour Homme and, the classic...Guerlain Imperiale (Extra Dry is my preference).
The world of Aromatic Citrus scents is so vast - there is something special in each and every brilliant creation...
Cheers, my friend.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.
― Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil & Paris Spleen
Monsieur de givenchy
Chanel pour Monsieur for me. It's my "comfort" scent. Love it.
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown

Pitching Woes Continue as Baseball Gets Blasted by Carson-Newman 21-8
March 28, 2012
JEFFERSON CITY, T.N. - Pitching struggles continued on Wednesday afternoon as Pfeiffer University suffered a 21-8 loss at the hands of host Carson-Newman College in baseball action at the Silver Diamond Baseball Complex. The Eagles even to 18-18 overall while the Falcons fall to 17-15.
After the first three frames, Carson-Newman led 14-1 with innings of scoring four, six and four. A Dalton Lindley RBI-single would score Jacob Yates with his leadoff double in the third. Carson-Newman would add three more in their fourth before Pfeiffer put six up in the fifth.
Yates started with a single, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Kevin Price's single. Jon Gray followed with his own base hit while Lindley came up and belted a three-run shot to left moments later. A Cole McGraw single and Preston Lyon double put runners at second and third, still with no one out, before Kyle Hackney got in on the action with his own RBI-single to plate McGraw. Matt Wade would bring in the final run of the frame with a base hit to score Lyon from third.
Carson-Newman would tack on two more runs in the sixth and eighth before the Falcons final run came on a Johnny Brown, Jr. RBI-double to bring home Lucas Signor. Signor started the inning with a leadoff single.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Saturday and Sunday hosting Barton for a Conference Carolinas weekend series at Joe Ferebee Field. Saturday's doubleheader starts at noon while Sunday's series-finale begins at 1:00 p.m.

I ordered 2 Star Xcalibers, one Eco (the green one that is made from recycled plastic) to store and one regular to throw. The one for throwing came too heavy for me so instead of paying shipping to send it back I am selling it for what I paid for. $15 to anyone that is interested and I can meet you on the course or anywhere between Westport Road to Preston Hwy.
The disc is 175g, Baby blue with the Innova Star. If anyone would like to see a picture I can post one.

Humphrey Scores Double-Double as Men's Basketball Rolls Erskine 70-45
November 23, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Josh Humphrey poured in a game-high 19 points with 11 rebounds leading the Falcons to a 70-45 win at Erskine on Tuesday night. The Falcons held the Flying Fleet to just 17 first half points and drained 15 three-pointers moving to 3-3 overall while winning the conference opener. Erskine suffers the lost falling to 0-4, 0-1.
After Erskine put up the games first six points, Pfeiffer stormed back on a 22-2 run to create separation. Humphrey knocked down two of the four triples in the span to help spark the run. Back-to-back threes by Jeff Pettiway and Kyler Gregory closed out the half as the Falcons held a 20 point lead at the break.
The Flying Fleet cut the lead down to 17 on several early occasions in the second half, but strong defense and consistent 44% shooting allowed the Falcons to maintain their 20-point plus lead.
Reggie Hollinger was the other Falcon in double-figures chipping in 16 points as 45 of Pfeiffers 70 points came off the bench. Erskines Chris Gore posted his own double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds while Filip Pejovic had 10.
Pfeiffer will now take a week off before getting back to league play next Wednesday, traveling to Lees-McRae on Wednesday, December 1st for a 7:30 p.m. tip.

Each product category has a three-member judging team comprised of an independent industrial designer, an independent engineer and a member of the trade press.
The three-member judging team gives a numerical value to each of the below criteria. The scores are combined, resulting in a cumulative score for each product. A baseline value is derived from the cumulative scores in a category. All scores above the baseline are designated as Honorees.
The Best of Innovation Award will be awarded to the highest-rated product in each category, as long as that product surpasses a previously-determined minimum score. If the highest-rated product in a category does not surpass the minimum score, there will be no Best of Innovation Award for that category. All award designations by our judges are final.

Becoming a part of the CES Innovation Awards is not hard, but you still may have questions. We've answered a few common questions below.
Who is eligible to enter?
Anyone who manufactures, designs, engineers or promotes consumer electronics (CE) products marketed in the United States, or is an authorized agent of the organization or individual, that is authorized to submit entries.
What is the difference between Best of Innovation and the Honoree awards?
In the Innovation Awards program, there are two levels of Honorees. The first level is Honoree, and only a fraction of the products entered achieve this title. The second level, Best of Innovation, is a more exclusive award that is given to the highest-rated product in each category, as long as that product scored above a pre-determined score threshold. If the highest-rated product in a certain category did not pass the Best of Innovation score threshold, that category has no Best of Innovation award.
My company is a brand new startup with only a few employees and nothing but a prototype that hasn't hit the market. Do I stand a chance of receiving an award?
Absolutely! The wonderful thing about the Innovation Awards is that a product's score is based on engineering and design qualities, innovation and value provided to the consumer. We admire brilliant products, so there's no difference if your company has been around for a month or a century, operates globally or locally, or has 10 employees or 10,000.
What is the Innovation Showcase?
The Innovation Showcase is a designated area of the show floor at the International CES where the Honoree products are on display for the world to see. It is a very high-traffic area and one of the most popular destinations at CES. Innovation Honoree products are encouraged to send a product sample to the area for display, free of charge, as long as the company is a CES exhibitor.
My product fits into multiple categories; which should I enter?
If you are only able to submit one entry, select the category that most completely encompasses your product, or in which you feel your product is most accurately described. However, we welcome you to submit the product into multiple categories, if you prefer. Each category is judged independently, so well-designed products often receive awards in multiple categories. A separate entry fee is required for each category entered.
Can an entry submitted last year be submitted again this year?
Entries submitted last year are most likely ineligible for submission this year, since the competition is limited to new products that become available to consumers from April 1, 2015 and no later than April 1, 2016. However, if you have developed a new model of the product that you feel is innovative and enhances the original product, you may submit an entry for the new model.
Do I have a word limit for questions on the entry form?
On the product-specific questions, we impose a limit of 500 words. You may also upload the technical specification sheet for your product. If you do not have a specification sheet, you may provide the same data in your own words (1,000 character limit).
What happens if my entry is not complete?
An entry is qualified for judging when all required sections are completed, images are included, and all entry fees have been paid. While CEA is not responsible for the follow-up of incomplete entries, we will attempt to notify entrants of the status of their entry. Ultimately, it is the entrants' responsibility to ensure the entry is complete. Unpaid entries will be disqualified. Entry fees are non-refundable.
If I secure space for CES after submitting my Innovation Awards entry, can I receive a partial refund on my Innovation Awards entry fee?
If you are not a CES exhibitor at the time that you submit your Innovation Awards application, you can still become an official exhibitor and receive a partial refund up until October 14, 2015. After October 14, we are unable to issue partial refunds. Contact us at email@example.com for more information on receiving a refund.
When will I find out if my product has been selected to receive an award?

Evangelicals run the political gamut from conservative and moderate to progressive and decidedly liberal. To suggest that most evangelicals reside on the far right is simply not true.
There are many things they seemed to hold in common, not least an instinctive nonviolence, contrasting so sharply with the police, who so often let the logic of force drive their actions (they found out, as often in history, that the logic that works with criminals doesn't really apply to idealists).
The apostle writes his letter to folks who are feeling anxious, worried, insecure, and unsettled. They don't know what the future holds for their lives, the church, their well-being, their community. Sound familiar?
When, as is true today, the richest 10 percent own 85 percent of the world's wealth and the poorest 50 percent live off the crumbs of 1 percent of the total global wealth, you've created a market where slavery will thrive.
My new approach this year is not to promise better behavior or new experiences, but to simply look back at the mistakes of last year and avoid repeating them.

After beating powerhouse football programs like Wayne County and West Jones, the Brookhaven Panthers likely thought they could handle the West Point Green Wave team as well.
If they asked Provine, Oxford and Ridgeland, however, they might have been a little nervous going into Saturday night's 5A state championship game with the Green Wave.
West Point, a team that played close and from behind in many of its district games this year, began its peak right as November rolled around.
Starting with the season closer at Hernando, the offense began to run at will, and the Green Wave defense was penetrating every facet of the opposing offensive line.
"We tell our kids that teams that run the ball and play power football always have a chance to win," Chambless said. "Teams that do that and have great defenses will win."
In that Hernando game, senior running back LaKenderic Thomas rushed for 262 yards.
The following week, the Green Wave started their historic playoff run, in an attempt to repeat their 2009 state title. They began with Provine, at home, and they won that game 36-14.
The next challenge was Oxford, on the road. On another cold night, West Point continued to sizzle, winning that game 27-12.
"Throughout the playoffs, we've had a great defense," Chambless said. "Our offense, man, what can I say about them?"
Last week was by far West Point's most dominating performance of the season. They hosted Ridgeland in a 47-0 shutout, in which the Titans were held to just 20 total offensive yards.
On Saturday night, the Green Wave would face their toughest opponent to date. The Panthers were playing great ball, after beating an undefeated team in West Jones to win the South last Friday.
Once again, the Green Wave pounded out yards on offense, while allowing nothing on the defensive side of the ball.
In the second half, the Green Wave started the final two quarters with the ball, and in both cases took over six minutes off the clock.
"We don't look at the stalled play as being bad," Chambless said. "We're just fine with driving it down, and we know we're not going to get it in sometimes."
The Green Wave would score their third and final touchdown on the second long drive, successfully keeping the ball out of the hands of Brookhaven's potent offense.
"You've got to dominate in all phases of the game," Chambless said. "One of those phases you have to dominate in is time of possession to be able to win."
West Point's repeat, record wise, is an exact replica of last season. They won all but one game, and rolled over opponents in the post-season.
The 2010 playoff run, however, will likely be remembered as the most dominant of the two title runs.
