Saw a stand with a lady spraying this on people in the shopping mall and avoided it on a judging a book by its cover basis...I didn't like the bottle. I never normally do that and give all fragrances a chance in the end. Tried this, Weirdly I liked it. Quite generic but very masculine leathery and spicy...simple composition but inoffensive I thought...I might get it, when it's marked down?
Can't believe how much hate there is for this fragrance. It's not one for the frag heads but Come on guys...It's okay. It smelled better when I first tried it sure. Generic yes... uninspiring yes... I don't accept it being perceived as feminine it's not butch by any means but it's a male fragrance through n through. I've got it on today and it is a bit like lynx or something but it's ideal for everyday use or after the gym or something?
For me this is very sweet sporty fragrance that I thought didn't have a great deal to give in terms of depth. I remember instantly loving it but thinking it was a little too sweet and feminine for me at the time. However, after the initial fruity blast it dries down really nicely with patchouli and Cedar coming through. I can totally understand this not being to everyone's taste the reason being...its not bland. It had been a long time since I'd tried it and had forgotten the smell really.I found it gave me something that some other sporty, young type fragrances are lacking and a bit of something that's missing from my repertoire of scents, so I decided to get it. I think it is quite original and I really do have a soft spot for Lacoste colognes based on my love affair with Eau de Lacoste Blanc this is despite most of them being generic at best or just plain awful. They occasionally triumph and get it very right.
What an absolute gem! I remember trying silver shadow and liking it so when I saw this going cheap I snapped it up blind...and I love it. Freshness and spice with the juniper and delicate celery note its the juice that keeps giving. This is easily among the best Davidoff scents and the bottle is really attractive too similar shaped reservoir to D&G The One. Also, the stopper has a satisfyingly quality feel when you click it down.
I love this!!! Very, very very sweet almost sickly so to the point of Willy Wonka!!! The initail sweetness reminds me of dolly mixture but it has fruitiness and definite peppery notes which balance it perfectly. I get a little vanilla in the dry down too it's a lovely fragrance. I remember looking at it on here and decided to take a chance on it and I'm so glad I did...a blind buy but I got it cheap. This is another really nice Hugo Boss fragrance...refreshing and after the top notes of sweetness(which endures but is not intrusive) it dries down to a nice scent.
Got a small sample of this and was quite excited when I looked on here at the notes...didn't live up to expectations I'm afraid. Very powdery indeed, a little floral and spicy bit ultimately disappointing. I kind of get some of the similarities to Dior Homme but they are quite different by the same rule...namely I like Dior Homme and I don't like this.
I was going to get Creed MI but figured I'd save some money and track this down...I don't have the two to do a side my side comparison, all I know is that I completely adore this fragrance. I didn't really like the one other Ed Hardy fragrance I tried so I was still cautious that I maybe wouldn't like this, despite kinda knowing what to expect. So glad I got it...love it! Really is fresh and evolves beautifully on my skin, true depth with a great, light citrusy opening exactly the kind of thing I like. Very wearable stuff.
I like Lacoste fragrances on the whole...eau de Lacoste Blanc is my absolute favourite and I had Booster years back and found it okay, pretty fresh & sporty. This however is atrociously bad! The citrus to begin with is burning, harsh and irritates me. No real depth, no woods to speak of really, poorly conceived formulation...hate it.
This is a wonderful fragrance. I loved the original Aqua pour Homme and both evoke the freshness and salty notes of the sea, with a lovely citrus zing. Truly original for an aquatic too, never tried the marine one but I think this toniq version is an interesting twist on the ocean theme.
I like fig notes and thought i liked cacao? but this one is truly not my cup of tea at all...instantly repulsive! Drys down to bare able woodiness. I'll say this for it it's well presented I like the fact in comes in like a biscuit tin and the bottle is really bizarre too.
Okay...so I've revisited this fragrance and I'm not as repulsed as I once was by it. The fig note in the top is strong and green it also has an earthy soil quality then chocolatey patchouli & cacao. Unfortunately this is still a Marmite (by that I mean 75% of people will hate it!) fragrance the note combination is so bold you'd really have to experience love at first sniff to get it. I'm in the minority of people who like Marmite but I'm still not quite convinced about Kokorico. It's a brave fragrance which I have definitely had second thoughts about in a positive way.
Sharp with citrus at first, and very lemony but in a good way. However, I can't make my mind up definitively whether I like it or not? I haven't got it so can't give a balanced review but it interests me as its quite a strange fragrance and generally I'm not mad about Chanel as a rule, accept for the older stuff Cuir de Russie and the like.
