Woah! A lot of hate for this one evidently. Hated 1 million and didn't expect much from this but I have to say I was pleasantly suprised to be honest. Once you get passed the hideous bottle which does resemble an ern. It's okay...I liked it more in the shop at first(so beware) but then after a week or so of using it I'm fairly indifferent. I have smelled it everywhere when out and about since, obviously lots of people trying it. I don't go off hype, the fact that it's new or how it looks anyway. After the initial accrid flyspray moment It settles down and smells quite nice...that is all.
Here's a quick updated review on this fragrance. I just feel quite cheated by my own nose on this one, as I previously mentioned I liked it at first in the shop and made a rash decision to purchase. In hindsight it was a bad choice. After a while now it has become positively insipid something really cloying and headache inducing about it. However, All this being said I can still smell the thing that made me enjoy it in the first place...If nothing else this scent is certainly an enigma. Finally, my mum commented on it today which she never does, saying it was too strong. It is very strong, which is obviously what they think people like about these modern colognes....not for me really this one.
Somehow epitimises the late 90's for me. I personally liked it more then, gone off it a bit now. It also reminds me of an old friend of mine who always wore it. Smells different on me though and just okay inoffensive really.
On the contrary to my catagorization of this fragrance as more suitable to be worn at night, I actually used an entire 60ml bottle in no time... as my gym bag cologne. Maybe it's because it's powerful and cuts through the chlorine smell that still lingres even after showering? Anyway... It's warm, spicy, oriental, oddly sexy (girls have told me that not just me) and I love this...total departure from cool water which you would expect and much nicer in my opinion. Massive projection, never overpowering great stuff.
Really like this one! Not exactly spellbinding though by the same rule. Nice salty sea element to it, fruity and generally very nice. Still haven't bought a bottle so I don't know about long term use longevity etc...doesn't seem too potent to me but I like that. Has a time and a place to be worn.
Some of the diesel fragrances are okay...non have compelled me to buy as yet though. Tried this today....boozy and awful! A guy tried it after me and his girlfriend said ..."mmmm...that's gorgeous." There's no accounting for taste I suppose.... each to their own and all that but come on? I thought maybe she's an alcoholic? or has a seriously diminished sense of smell? I very nearly opened up the debate on everything that was abhorrent about this stench there and then in the store...but realised that I would come off as a psycho! Needless to say...I won't be getting this.
Agreed its very sharp almost unpleasant at first...when it settles down its great! Notes of Mango, spices..really this is right up my street, it's one that can be warn everyday for sure. Doesn't stick around very long but hey it's subtle. Not as nice as the sublime Blanc but very good nevertheless.
Definite green notes, zesty, bit of spice really like this one! I remember when it came out and a pretty young lady in Boots sprayed it on a card and handed it to me in passing. I stuffed it in my pocket and forgot about it pretty much. Then a few days later I realised my coat pocket smelled incredible...I've had various bottles since and never looked back...and it's been out for years! It's very wearable and sporty...I'm aware there's lots of variants and an array of 212s out there but this original one is great.
The name is apt here. It's a Happy fragrance. I personally love this scent...it's oranges/mandarins ...who doesn't like that? Yes it's cheap smelling and no it's not the most realistic of things but I just take it for what it is, the modernist interpreatation of a cologne. Well actually I do understand why there's so many scathing reviews it's not for everyone I suppose but it's very fresh & throwaway and I've used it very 'Happily' for years now in summer mainly. Granted it is pretty weak and all but disappears pretty quick but hey some people like that kind of subtlety sometimes....I know I do.
First got a whiff of this in an Abercrombie & Fitch store in the states. One of my female friends told me women go wild for it and that wasn't the first time I'd heard it was a babe magnet. I didn't need much more encouragement to get myself a bottle, which was not that easy in the UK as not many places stock it. I love this fragrance, at first it seems a bit generic and cheap but the more you use it, it seriously grows on you and I thought it was unique...That was until I found Monc Blanc Legend the recently released clone job of this. They did a poor job in my opinion, because this is so much thicker and ballsier. Herbal, kinda smalls of linalool, DHM, lavender, bergamot, sage then thickness of coumarin, it's a kind of modernist fougere I guess? Another difference with the Mont Blanc it comes in a much more attractive bottle to me its like a hipflask, looks a bit more polished for a designer brand and rightfully so given the pens and that. Im not a woman or a gay man and don't care much for the tacky cheap A&F bottle with a mans rippling torso on...it's not aspirational it's just depressing you don't look like that and no amount of "FIERCE" will change that! Anyway...despite this I love this fragrance and the chicks definitely dig it, which is cool! Haha Jesus I sound insufferable
Another staple, youth favourite. Clean...fresh...amazing... A true classic, popular for good reason...citrusy, classy...suited to everyday use. Great stuff.
