Yes I immediately liked this one. Strange really when I'm pretty indifferent about L'Homme and La nuit de L'Homme but obviously not when you consider how different they really are. I mean the other two are okay and very popular it would appear but never really grabbed me. I think it's the violet leaf note that I love and instantly draws me in to the point where I'm hooked right off the bat. I'm definitely getting this soon so I can give a more rounded review..but thus far it's love at first sniff! Just an update on this, got it worn it still really enjoying it. Although its nothing like Fahrenheit really it's reminiscent with that violet accord the burgamot is prominent at first and to me it almost has a fizzy smell to it(if that's not too abstract) I mean like a kind of quinine tonic watery sort of vibe...but sweet and a little floral too. It's great!!!

Hate to hate...but this fragrance truly is awful. Again...I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon, this is only my opinion and evidently peoples tastes vary massively but for the life of me I will never understand the attraction of overly boozy scents. It's saving grace is the drydown if you can get past the initial unpleasentness it gets a little better...but not much. I generally like CK fragrances across the board, this one might be a brave departure in perfumary terms but I'm really not feeling it.

What a fool I am!!!! Yet another retraction of my original review...I have to blame a poor nose that day but this came across as boozy and repulsive on the card. How wrong I was and how many times must I have a knee jerk reaction to the opening of a fragrance. I was surprised to learn that the nose behind this fragrance was non other than Pierre Negrin the guy behind quite possibility the greatest triumph in male focused perfumery EVER!!! Of course I'm talking about Interlude by Amouage. I thought I'd missed something even when I wrote the initial review all I can say is my nose must've been shot that day because the opening to encounter is fine and not overly anything! It dries down to a really lovely and different scent which for me sets it apart from the usual bland designer rubbish...but only slightly so don't get carried away! Sweet, but light a little reminiscent for a moment of Mont Blanc Individuel (despite not sharing common notes) but there's something to what I'm saying....honest! This is not a full retraction because I don't love it Furthermore, although this is woody and has odd composition, I don't really get a lot of Oud myself.

Again...I'm not usually one to bang on about bottle design as with this one it's not hard to see how they came up with the name/gimic/branding. However it's totally insignificant if you like the fragrance...but the bottle resembles a hand grenade...how cool is that? Very I think! As for the fragrance? I've only had a small tester of it so it's not fair to give a final judgement and although it didn't instantly grab me (as I thought it would) it didn't repell me either. Not quite the explosion of spice I'd anticipated but I definitely mean that in a good way. A very nice balance that has a place in anyones collection.

V&R spicebomb Again another updated review...I instantly liked this when it came out but thought it was just okay and I'd bide my time before getting a bottle. Now that I have I'm absolutely intoxicated by it. I expected Spicebomb to be very extreme peppery and dry when I first Saw it, something I like but not when it's lacking sweetness or a citrus dimension or something else to lift it. This for me is a perfect balancing act of spicy, sweet, cinnamony almost festive mulled wine feel to it. Warming, subtle and gorgeous on my skin, huge projection and sillage for hours...a great fragrance and very definitely growing to be a favourite of mine.

Well...Z is an interesting one for me. At first, my favourite Zegna fragrance was Intenso then Forte then this. However it just shows you that you need a while to let them settle down and live with for a bit before making any hasty judgements. This is now my favourite, they're all of the same ilk more classy citrus business in the top notes but it's the dry down with this that makes it. I think it must be the exotic fruits that make it stand out from the crowd. This is a superb fragrance and can be worn anytime.

Ah ha!!! No wonder I love it so much it's very similar to Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger. Subtly different and quite different in the dry down, I love both of them.

This stuff is stunning! Absolutely stunning. watery notes, beautiful, fruity and refreshing! I love it!

Well I haven't had this fragrance for years I used to wear it when I was younger. I first bought it when it came out, I was on a ferry to France and it was everywhere. I fell in love right away! I used it for a few years then moved on but never forgot about it. It's pretty rare these days unless you go in the Tommy Hilfiger shop (which I don't) anyway I've decided to revisit it...and boy am I glad!! I remember the smell so vividly when I smelled it again it was like an embrace from an old friend. Zingy apples, very clean, sporty kind of feel! It's really really really nice I adore it and is really suitable as an everyday fragrance.

Really really lovely fresh fragrance is how I would describe this one. The melon comes straight away and this has to be one of my favourite notes, so refreshing and subtle there's lots of green apple too just wonderful. The patchouli comes on later and it feels wonderfully fresh & soapy on my skin. I noticed before I got this, lots of people saying it had no staying power and I figured that was probably true, due to the subtle melonee notes. However, on my skin it has lasted really well and matured nicely throughout the day. It's a lovely summery fragrance Im happy with it.

Finally, I've decided to bite the bullet and fork out on a Creed fragrance to see what all the fuss is about. I'm by no means a snob and was truly hoping this would be great after weighing up the notes and making a careful choice. Thankfully, I have been rewarded. This fragrance is magical! I totally understand the cool water comparisons and I really like it but truly this has more depth for me. It's botanical, herbal, almost menthol notes at times truly layered and beautiful on my skin when it settles down. It's just a pleasure an absolute pleasure and very masculine indeed. I hear Clint Eastwood wears it...of course he does! Who doesn't want to smell like dirty Harry? It's pricey but worth it...If it wasn't I would just say so....Just get it.

Jury is still out on this one. Oh I really like it don't get me wrong it's more of the same from Zegna... simple & stylish, italian freshness. There's Zingy citrus and not much else really for me... not sure it's worth getting yet? Certainly inoffensive and more understated (in a good way) than a lot of similar fragrances out there. Update: well I've had this on my skin a few times now and although my opinion hasn't changed all that much I seem to just love all of these Zegna fragrances even though I realise a few things. Firstly they're all made by different perfumers each time and they seem to have been given the brief of not blazing any kind of new trail or taking any kind of risks with Zegna's fragrances to keep the classic Italian ascetic. Personally, I really like them although you could wage the criticism that they're a little bland and I would take that on board especially with this uomo. I've found it pretty strong too...good sillage and longevity.

Love all the Zegna fragrances but this one is magic! It has a great burst of a kind of sherbet lemony zingy thing in the top notes which then makes way for a powdery, woody base which is just lovely. My favourite of the Zegnas I've encountered. I had a last minute meltdown in the shop and bought Zegna Forte...but this one is next on my hit list.
