   |  I didn't know for the longest time what this actually smelled like. I finally concluded that the top is some kind of tropical fruit liqueur, maybe mango? Kiwi? It starts to turn a little less tropical, perhaps into orange or tangerine, and then just briefly it seems like the fruit is going rotten as it transitions into a fruity, boozy leather base and then resolves itself. Even though it doesn't feel unmasculine to me, I thought that the top was more typical of women's perfume...then later the base becomes more "standardly" masculine. I thought I'd keep it around for variety and to figure it out, but I eventually gave up. Really fun bottle, though!25 April 2009 |
 | Cheap, aromatic fougere like Coty's Avatar. Typical musky drydown. Not much to it. 01 November 2008 |
 |  I have no qualms with the smell of the fragrance, in fact, I really like it. However, it does not like me! Almost immediately after applying this, I had one of the worst allergy attacks in my life. Anytime I am near it, I can not breathe. Never has this happened with a fragrance to this extent with me before. Allergy sufferers beware! 17 July 2008 |
  | First thought: cheap rubbish in a bottle Second thought: not that bad, but not 'Amazing' Spicy alcoholic opening, cheap yet familiar deodorant/gym locker musk dry down. Skip it unless it's so cheap you can't say no. 11 October 2007 |
 | Wake me up when it's over. 27 September 2006 |
 | 'Amazing,' Huh? Well, amazingly mediocre. ‘Amazing’ is extremely sharp. The opening is a sharp citrus, but mostly it smells sharply of alcohol. The spices from the middle appear very quickly in the opening and the heart of the fragrance is quite spicy. The florals in the middle are overwhelmed by the undifferentiated and mediocre ginger and pepper. The dry down is okay—a rather nice musk, but its longevity it terrible. I got a Mini for practically nothing—but it wasn’t worth it. This one is so bad that I’m thinking that maybe I got a bad bottle. 29 August 2006 |
 |  A rather enegmatic fragrance. Whilst not presenting itself as 'strong' fragrance, it has a very good longetivity. I don't know about sillage but I would suggest it is fairly low. It is fresh and the GInger note adds a touch of warmth. I don't get the tangy notes coming out on my skin so the overall effect may be very dependant of your skin.Certainly worth a look if you are after something out of the ordinary! 23 August 2006 |
 | Amazing for Men has a nice, sweet Ginger scent to it. It goes very well with the drydown of Cedarwood. Which makes it a better option for the colder months. 20 January 2006 |

| A nice, tangy, and comforting scent by Bill Blass. Reminds me a lot of Portfolio by Perry Ellis, except Amazing is more refined and less youthful. That bottle is fun to hold, too. ;D 29 January 2005 |
