Hate to be critical here because generally D&G fragrances are varied and very good. I love the original pour Homme but this one is sadly lacking slightly for me, unfortunately it's just too weak on my skin. Don't get me wrong I'm not one of these folk who look for 'sillage Monsters' or want everyone to smell (and taste!) what I'm wearing, but to me this is gone too quick...and I'm someone who enjoys things like kenneth Cole Reaction and Clinique Happy both of which face the same critisism. I really like the scent initially it's delicate, beautiful reimagining of the original, clean & citrusy, right up my street. Admittedly I don't own a full bottle so maybe if I drenched myself in it I could achieve some longevity. That's my only critism.

Actually read many of the reviews on here before I tried this again as it wasn't particularly memorable the first time. I think that says it all really...however I reckon the criticism waged at this fragrance in the reviews here is unfair. For me I don't just think it's a cheap smelling flanker but I'm not sure The One needed a 'sport' version, I saw it as a classy night time scent. Surprisingly it actually has all the depth of the original but in a completely different sense. Give it a chance it's not bad.

Well I went out with the intention of buying Individuel and ended up with this as I couldn't find it anywhere. Not only that but they didn't have a tester so it was a blind buy and my first impressions were not that great.I took a risk with it because I just like Mont Blanc as a brand and feel there's something very masculine about the other fragrances I've tried so why not? Soap, soap and more soap! Sometimes when people describe fragrances as being soapy I often don't agree or think..."Wow...what kind of soap are you using?" But this has a classic soapy note. There's something in the very top notes like a sharp fruity thing that is just delightful but disappears fairly quickly, then the dry down is really wonderful it truly has more dimensions than it first appears. I get sandalwood, Tonka bean, cardamom, a little cinnamon & ginger too! I think this is a delightful juice that keeps me sniffing. It's ultra clean and classy stuff It growing and growing on me this one...I think I love it now!

Dear oh dear! Not impressed with this outing. I wanted to love this so badly too the original L'eau D'Issey is an classic and among my favourite ever fragrances. The bottle is a beautiful shape and looks great in blue it was all set to be a wonderful addition to the collection, that was until I got a whiff of it! Again, to try to balance my opinion here...I have only tried in once on a card in a shop so can't give a detailed review, this thing could transform and become fantastic in the drydown but somehow... I doubt it. I just can't get over those initial notes of rosemary and lavender I simply don't like them when they're not in the background or careful finessed. Hey, I'm not one of these people who moan about flankers, diversity within the same product line is fine. I mean it's quite clear why companies feel inclined to trade off an established name but this is one departure that is very unlike the others that bare the 'L'eau...' name and I for one... don't like it.

Quite uninspiring this... I'm not suprised it has a lot of people saying the same, pleasant but very reminsant of something you've smelled before and not really bringing anything new to the table. I am however suprised that it's likened Gentlemen only to YSL L'Homme Libre. I'll have to have another try of this because that might just be what it reminds me of...and in that case I LOVE IT! haha. No I'm sure it's not that similar...and this is okay but didn't grab me at all. On a different note The face of the campaign Simon Baker who is cool in the mentalist. Update: d'ya know what? It's not half bad this I totally agree with the review above it's like 'orangey-babypowdery-patchouli' pretty much nails it extremely clean vetiver and pink pepper. I stick to what I said originally it's a crowd pleaser and you're not going to stick out wearing it. From an insane opening of bizarre top notes, bitter, sweet almost musky strangeness that takes a good while to settle into powdersville. After that the dry down gets more masculine (nowhere near the original 'Gentlemen' but...) still not enjoyable for me and would get on my nerves if I wore it myself. The very deep dry down is masculine almost animal musk when all that powder subsides but it's too little too late. Longevity is not bad.

I have to say...I love this. Remember it from the 90's and it's a true classic now. Very warm, spice and wood but with a unique edge, can't quite put my finger on what it is? This stuff is very masculine, not over powering and above all sexy! I'd get myself a bottle but I can only find it in Debenhams and it's a rip off...I'll order a bottle off the net soon enough though.

Well you can't deny this scent is certainly memorable and original. I'm not sure whether I absolutely love it or hate it! These are usually the best scents to persevere with because when you do and end up liking them it gives you more variation in your collection. Initial blast of fruity citrus soon makes way for a peppery earthy notes its quite a old Skool 'Dad' style masculine fragrance which is also quite boozy, something I'm not usually fond of but I think I quite like that element in this one. Again it's a strange mix of the old mans fragrance and the contemporary young mans quite clever really and possibly could be genius. I'll have to get a bottle at some stage because I certainly don't have anything similar.

This is an updated review now that I have this magical elixir. I recognised that it was a grower but I was in two minds in my initial review ...not anymore I've firmly landed in the Love camp! The bitter orange in the beginning is perfectly balanced with hard spicy notes it's a masterpiece and very masculine. I think Terre d'Hermes is one for the true connoisseur and not the faint hearted.

Ahhh so it's Lemon & Coffee? That's what those notes are...needless to say that's not a happy combination, certainly doesn't sit well with me! I immediately didn't like this, something just isn't right in its composition. On the plus side though, I love the Zippo lighter bottle ...it's very stylish.

Just tried this yesterday in the shop so I've by no means given it a fair trial. To me it smells quite generic, like something I've smelled before can't quite put my finger on it. I think it's unfair to be critical because its not offensive or unpleasant and is certainly better for me than the other Gucci ones in a similar bottle...which are pretty awful. It would appear from the ratings here that it has people divided either love or hate...I'll be leaving it well alone not because it's bad, just not my style.

Well Ive completely changed my opinion on this one...I thought wow! and I may even have favoured it to the original when I first tried it. A brief history...I'm somebody who has worn Fahrenheit for a long time and occasionally have to have a break from it as it is strong and everyone needs variety and change. So I was delighted when these alternatives came out and this one was initially my favourite...as some people have mentioned here, as a milder verion of the original. From more exploration and study of the scent I've concluded that I don't like it as much as the others (Absolute, 32) or indeed the orignal. One vibe that is prominant to me is PEPPER it's so dry I can't believe they have the cheek to call it 'Aqua' which should obviously imply a refreshing or reinvigourating quality...I don't find it has that. Other than that it's not bad, totally down to taste as with everything some people with prefer this tweeked version.
