Well, just a few. I personally love Chanel Coco Noir and not just the packaging. It smells really good and I always prefer if my husband use Acqua di Gio. I think the smell is really suitable for men. I just hope he loves it the way I do.

There isn't a counter near me, and I had only purchased one item from them before (eye shadow in Corinthian, which I love). I've been using it steady for nearly 2 weeks, which is saying something considering all of the makeup I own.
