Fragrance opposites?
Question:
I did a quick search, didn't find anything like this, but what fragrances do you think are polar opposites? Which colognes are the 100% different from one another in a juxtaposed way? (Not sure if I used that right) My thoughts are this:
Fahrenheit : Geir
Fahrenheit is about the hot days of summer when you have a few days to work on your old 74 Stingray 'vette (LOVE that fiberglass bumper for some reason...). Your day goes like this: Wake up, eat steak and eggs for breakfast. Work on 'vette for five hours. Eat grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. Continue work on your 'vette at 1. Girlfriend shows up around 3pm, and it's 97 degrees outside. She gives you a hug and... That is what a man smells like.
Geir is about the mild days of summer, but now you're shopping for a new car. This is what the salesman smells like. He's in khakis and a button up shirt, no strand of hair is out of place. He smells like the side of a stream that runs through a field of flowers on the side of a Norwegian mountain. It seems completely out of place, and not natural.
Why they are opposites: The Fahrenheit is dirty, manly, and uber realistic, even with it's synthetic quality. The Geir is clean, fresh, and way out of place, even with it's all natural components. Fahrenheit smells like heat, sweat, and oil. Geir smells like flowers, clean air, and coolness. Fahrenheit works for me, Geir doesn't.
Anyone else have some colognes which they think are polar opposites?

Answer:
Since I'm on call all night and still up...
Probably a weak contribution given my very narrow range of 'New Hobby' experience, but between my collection 'n pile of samples I'll point out the most distant from one another:
Quorum and Guess Man.
Portuguese Sailor meets Metrosexual College Student.
(Random Anecdote Warning)
For some reason, the image reminds me of a surreal experience. When I worked for the State of NM, I would occasionally have to travel to these random little towns in New Mexico... At one point, I was having dinner at a truck stop in Santa Rosa, and some random burly Polish guy invited me to hop over and eat with him. Huge guy, hairy bristling Polish trucker... I'm 5'10" and 160 soaking wet holding a brick and sitting there in my crisp white shirt and tie.
I'm sitting there with a beer, he's going through their fine wine collection. At one point he started criticizing my dinner ettiquete because I wasn't holding my fork properly.
Prudently, I saw fit not to protest.

Answer:
This is fun, like a parlor game.
Giorgio Armani - Acqua di Gio: Vague, crowd pleasing, bland. The Kenny G of fragrances, a film with Meg Ryan. Good taste that has devoured itself.

Alexander McQueen - Kingdom: Confusing, off-putting and deranged. Janis Joplin on tour for a week without a bath, a film with Vigo Mortensen. Sensual priorities.

Answer:
I'll contribute two note contrasts:
Neroli opposite to Amber
Citrus opposite to Leather and/or Musk

Answer:
Villoresi's Musc and Uomo are pretty much opposites in my books. Uomo is natural, raw and refreshing. Musc then again is extremely soft, dreamy and beautiful. Uomo is the kind of scent one can wear everyday without ever getting bored with it, atleast for me. Musc is strictly for special romantic situations, something I could never wear two days in a row.
