Metal Jeans Men (2000)
by Versace

This is a different one. I bought this in January, and was shocked others thought of this as a good one. It was so putrid and not what I was expecting at all. I had thought I got a bad batch, but I wore some today and I must say it is much much better in summertime. The other more favorable notes pick up and thrive only in the heat. If you like YSL or Ed Hardy Love & Luck, Metal jeans is a similar category [putrid as i call it] scent that may be for you. It is the kind of scent you must wear in the right weather, not forcing yourself to wear it everyday*****
I hated this scent when I first got it in the mail. I had looked so hard to find it and had to wait longer for the right day to come by chance and have this scent reveal its potential. It dies in the cold, leaving behind an odd smell on my skin. When wearing this in summertime, it brightens up and i get the watermelony notes. It does lose its fruity scent fairly fast, but it keeps making comebacks in the heat when im wearing it. The basenotes are very nice. its part the beginning\\ part something new. This is probably the best stage because you can still catch the earlier notes (unlike other fragrances) but a thicker base is apparent too.

I didn't like this at all, just didn't smell pleasant and didn't last long thankfully.

When this first came out, I hands down didn't like it at all. However, upon revisiting it again after several years, I have to say it has grown on me. I think this is in large part to the fact that I got it in the dead of winter while I was staying in Illinois. Now, in the middle of winter, this would be horrendous, but, in the middle of summer (or in warmer climates), it is not bad at all!

I will concur with the others, the watermelon is what makes this stand out from the others in the genre, but the drydown of gaiac wood and amber is very similar to alot of others out there, think ADG etc...

So, on that note . . . I have to say that its good, but not great. I would advise one to buy it can be found, if not, well, I think you'll survive if you don't. Still, I am glad I have it as part of the entire Jeans collection!

Smooth fruitiness that last a goos deal more than other fruity scents I've tried. Smells like a good semi-sweet wine (I don't recommend drinking it) with a slightly musky woody base. Very good if you can find it.

Metal Jeans is an all-time classic fruity scent. A very citric opening from the Grapefruit and Tangerine notes, and then the fruity Watermelon starts to kick in quickly after. Surprisingly unique and now that it's been discontinued, very hard to find. If you can find a bottle, dont hesitate to buy. Perfect in warm weather.

I really like this scent and so does my girlfriend! She can always tell when I'm wearing it and I often catch her leaning in close to get a good smell of it. Thumbs up!
