Another one I don't think anybody has mentioned is Rive Gauche pour homme. It's basically barbasol shave cream in cologne form. Very clean and masculine.
Joop was a #1 favorite, but is now a memory attached to someone specifically, so I do like CK Eternity as well...
I was born with a superhuman sense of smell, and living in Paris for a couple years helped make me a scent-affecionado if you will. My wife and I play "name that scent" in Sephora sometimes, and I gotta say, I'm pretty good. I've gone through seve...
I don't know if it would truly be called a self help book, but The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Epictetus and Seneca.

Easy, Augustine. Probably more responsible for many of the Christian interpretations on social issues then any other early Church Father.
I think that the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path are pretty insightful.
I like Aqua di Gio

"Getting to Yes" is a great negotiating book. Fairly quick read and someting good to read before you buy your next car, or negotiate that next job offer.
I like Cool Water & old school Polo.
Nietzsche - Will to Power
Epictetus - The Enchiridion
Can't believe no one mentioned these two all time classics. A quick google search will yield e-texts for them both.
Not reading a book because it was in Oprah's book club is rather stupid if you ask me. Oprah added Anna Karenina to her book club, one of the best novels of all time and one of my favourites. While some of her choices are meant to appeal to women,...
Millionaire Next Door is a great finance book. The author, Thomas Stanley, just wrote another worthy book called "Stop Acting Rich". Great advice and insight into today's millionaires post crash. I also would not be too quick to dismiss Ramsey. Hi...
Burberry Black.
