Gap Blue No. 655 Him (1997)
by Gap

Interesting mix of greasy woods and grounded herbs to make an aquatic scent to smell like dirt and ozone.

Oh man, I loved this one back in middle school (same with Cologneist). It's a simple, fresh and clean lime/musk kinda fragrance. I recently found a bottle for $10 and it was a blast from the past.

This was one of my first colognes and one of my favorite scents in middle school. Thinking about it now though, 655 would be pretty basic and would be boring now a days. It just smells like your typical aquatic teenage fragrance. Similar to Hugo but goes on a little stronger. While I loved the opening, but can't remember it specifically enough to do a more in depth review, I can say that the longevity was horrible, I even remember my mom complaining about how I used up the bottle so fast.. I think I went through 3 bottles of this during one summer. I would actually love to get my hands on a bottle of this to reminisce of old times.

Absolutely love this. It is meant for a young (college age and below unless you are really young at heart) man who has confidence galore. Every male that has sample dthis that I know definately loe the clean, fresh, and BLUE. This was definately Blue before Polo Blue knew what 'blue' is. Highly recommended if you fit the above description.

It's not bad. I used to really, really like it and now I think it's just ok. Nothing terribly special, definately smells like something that would sell. Kind of a pungent, slightly woody young man's cologne.

This was a favorite when it first came out. I don't get the "driftwood" (what the hell does THAT smell like???). This is a clean, strong, watery scent--very safe--that lasts and lasts and lasts. Always garnered plently of "snnnnniiiifff.... what is THAT you are wearing?" Mostly from women but sometimes from men <sigh>. Sniffing it now brings back fond memories of a younger, callow and totally unexplored nose.
When I heard it was going out of production a few years ago, I bought 20 boxes.
And there they sit....
