Fluid Man (2000)
by Iceberg

Smells cheap, very overpowering. I have had dollar store frags that were better than this.

AT first it smelled woody and spicy, like a watery Delcaration but turns into a watery Guerlain Vetiver rather quickly. Keyword here is watery. Meaning light and diluted. It's very nice but not long lasting. The bottle blinds you when the light reflects off its mirrored chassis.

At first mist I thought this would be amazing, it was sweet and woodsy, sage with a little spice.. but as i smell it i start to get nauscious. I've experiemented with putting on VERY small amounts and that's worked a little better. If you just barely mist yourself maybe it won't be so overwhelming.

Overall I'm not too impressed, the bottle is amazing, but the scent is kinda cheap smelling i think.

Ruslan must have got a bad bottle because this stuff lasts toooooo long and taps out verrrrrrrry powdery

Fluid Man is one of the most unique and synthetic (in a nice way) designer fragrance I've yet tried, but from what I’ve read it is extremely sensitive to body chemistry as many men dislike this one on themselves. Not true at all in my case. On me this fragrance is divine and is to this day still my second most complemented fragrance next to Creed Millesime Imperial. Fluid Man begins very hot and spicy with fresh, white floral undertones, becoming woodier as it dries down, with a thick, dark mix of wood, patchouli and oakmoss notes. The amber and honey notes lend a good deal of sweetness to the dark woods mix after about 15 minutes. It is very full fragrance mixing many diverse notes and is a shade away from being one of those fragrances that goes in too many directions at once, and almost clashes, but doesn't. It is strange because it is a very "perfumy" yet manly fragrance, reminding me of layering a highly feminine sweet, floral fragrance with a highly masculine wood and oakmoss fragrance. The dry down reminds me a little of a toned down version of Paco Rabanne's Ultraviolet Man (shares notes of honey, amber and moss).
