Reviews of Diesel Plus Plus (1997)
by Diesel

Boooring !!!

ok to perfume your underwear drawer with.

You know those foam mushrooms in pick n' mix? Dip some in herbs and chemicals, squeeze out the essence and you've got Diesel Plus Plus. Kind of interesting if that's your sort of thing, but I don't like the end result.

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.

Synthetic. Yes. Green. Yes. Linear? To some degree. There are notes which emerge here as time passes. This is good frangrance IMHO. IT gives me the same feeling as Hugo Boss Motion (the original silver with orange trim). Both have a very vibrant note which predominates throughout their drydown but both feel very invigourating and for hte price, it certainly is worth a try isn't it?

I actually quite like this. It has a very nice warm and "round" mood to it. For me, the longevity and sillage are quite strong. I would, however, agree that the scent is somewhat synthetic and definitely somewhat linear. I also don't think it's strictly limited to a young crowd.. it has some qualities that show some maturity.

I really enjoy this fragrance smells really good and its very inexpensive not a bad combo

The fragance is not interesting at all. Its very synthethic and the fixation is not good (Thank God for that). Too sweet for me. The best thing that Diesel could do was to stop doing this thing.

Disgusting!When my house was robbed last year, and my cologne collection was stolen, I didn't cry losing this one...it WILL give many people a headache! It's bottle looks like it should hold pills, and the scent smells like Dunhill Desire, diluted with rubbing alcohol!

Very "green" smelling scent on me once the woods and florals die down a bit. Very sexy stuff for the price, and LOVE the packaging. I wear this one to the clubs a lot and think of it as a very "jeans-y" kind of fragrance -- not for the office crowd.

Synthetic smelling, but a great scent nonetheless. Its very sweet, almost candy like. Defnitely for the younger crowd.

Reminds me of Joop Jump. I think they are very similar.

A deliciously synthetic creamy sweet, slightly femine blend. Easily cloying if overapplied... Something about this fragrance reminds me of Mugler's Alien for women. A cherry coke ice cream float of a scent. In no way a classic fragrance, but at a very reasonable price.. it's a very playful and fun take on 'sweet' and one that seems a lot more wearable than some of the other gourmand powerhouses, pi for example.

I tried this one recently and i really didn't like it. I found it just smelt really chemically and strong. Not one for me i'm afraid.

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).

this was 9.99$ on sale probably the best frag buy per dollar I've ever made. Was great as a teenager, probably wouldn't wear it too much now. I still have the same bottle sitting in my frag cab. anyone 16-18 surfing this site should definatley check this one out :)

Smells great it is a little perfumy at first but after a couple of minutes it dries into a really unique mix of notes. I really can't describe it it's just really nice.

A bit less original then the other Diesel fragrances but nice enough considering the price. It's very similar to Nikos' Sculpture and Alfred Dunhill's Desire for a Man but this one lasts just a little bit longer to my nose.

It's a good scent, it attracts women and smells nice, but it's a bit intoxicating and not very subtle. Lasts for quite some time, don't apply too much it will give you a head ache. Fresh, clean, sophisticated (could have a better quality though).

gets the job done, especially at the price i got it for , smells like desire red.

This fragrance smells very nice, to me it smells like Boss Bottled, and the difference is minimal.

I purchased this becuase I was really attracted to the clever milk carton packaging with the cows on the box. Diesel knows how to grab someones eye. The scent is quite unique. It does have a smooth creamy type of smell with a slight undertone of berries. It seemed to stay close to the skin but i was using it in cooler weather. I'll have to give it a test in the spring to see if its stronger. I don't like it as much as the original diesel yellow or green but its not a bad scent at all. Plus I got it fairly cheap. Thumbs up

Another of my staples - the compliments amaze me - women, men, old, young, everyone seems to react positively to this scent. It is bright and fruity as it opens, but gives way to a unique milky note. Best comparison is Le Feu Light or Sculpture by Nikos.
