I've just been to the 'other' Arran, so I visited Arran Aromatics and bought some of their new-ish 'Citrus Shores'. I don't offer it in the 'Scent with Balls' category - it is a pleasant unisex 'for the office' scent, but I'm just rattling off the anecdote in order to ask for a scent description of the 'Man of Aran'.OK here is an Eau de Cologne that not many of you chaps will be familiar with.
This is quite simply a stunning fragrance, my absolute all time favourite
Its called "Man of Aran", and you can find more information on it here.

Forgot about Encre Noire that has balls, big balls.

I have a couple of Tom Ford scents, to be honest Stan they are not my favourite. Yes they have great longevity and the bouquet is well balanced across the range but neither oud wood or grey vetiver grab me as the best within the Tom ford price range.Ah yes my good man.... I truly think that could be the absolute favourite of mine. (along, perhaps, with the Guerlain Vetiver).
Haven't, myself, ventured down the Tom Ford wallet emptying exercise so don't know if they would take the crown. I suspect I'm better off not knowing?
Really? Wow I would give it 30/30. Have you reached the border yet?... and fairly 'orrible!
Think I might try at least one of these....They sound quite similar. I reckon the perfumery's description of Man of Aran as a unisex fresh sea cologne with a citrus top note and woody base notes of the mosses, lichens and barks of the Burren, is right on the money. For me personally, the words that came to mind when thinking about how I would describe it were "wholesome", "uplifting" and "earthy". Its a truly great scent for any time of the day but particularly if you shave in the morning as it awakens the senses, and kick starts your day with a punch.
I think its sister fragrance "Winter Woods" might be more up your street in this context. Winter Woods opens with the freshness of Rosemary, Bergamot and Lemon, leads into subtle notes of Iris and Lavender and develops as a woody blend of Cedar, Pine and Vetiver for a long-lasting, quietly masculine fragrance.
To be honest I think "Winter Woods" it is a great scent but maybe not for me. I tend to only wear it occasionally and tend to look for scents with that citrus top note.
Rapport is another scent with balls and fairly cheap.
