Reviews of Diesel Plus Plus (1997)
by Diesel

Creamy and woody, Diesel Plus Plus is original. The opening accord is unrelated to the lacteal references of the rest of the fragrance — it is green with fresh notes, and I would guess that there’s a trace of lavender in there, too. While not synthetic, the opening accord is a touch artificial to my nose; nevertheless, I find it more and more pleasant each time I wear it. It has truly become an agreeable scent to wear. The middle is interesting in a dairy sort of way: The milk notes take precedence while a subtle green remains in the background. I have come to see the middle lacteal notes as being quite enjoyable — sweet, clean, fresh, warm…pasteurized. I suppose there’s nothing like the smell of milk to make us mammals feel a bit of comforting nostalgia. The drydown, though, is weak in intensity; it doesn’t bring the “sensual wood” out very strongly and it retains much of the gradually lessening milk note. Diesel Plus Plus does not have a lot of longevity. As an oddity it’s rather fun, and I enjoy wearing it every once in a while, but I think that somewhat of a stronger, woodier, longer lasting base would seriously improve it. Go lightly with it — it has a headache producing potential.

Very sweet, milk and honey scents, maybe some light florals. Leaves an almost sticky residue on my skin. Doesn't last very long and no one but me seems to be able to smell it on me unless I bathe in it. Not horrible, but not impressive, and doesn't attract a lot of attention (which could be either a positive or a negative).
