   |  This is a very fresh aromatic, green, woody fragrance with a touch of lightly sweetened florals in the heart. Elemi is mentioned as being dominant... I had to look up this note in order to figure it out. Elemi is discribed as a "sharp pine and lemon-like scent". That's a fairly accurate description but that note is fairly toned down in the top and after a while the green herbal elements of the heart take over. The balsam woods in the base are really nice. It's like a airy white wood that's very fresh.I find Oscar for Men very likable and familiar; like watching your favorite movie over and over again and finding new plot points you missed the first time. 06 March 2009 |
 |  I totally agree with mrclimind's review. I originally purchased this scent in Sephora when it first came out on the market. Yes, it is pleasant and well done but nothing extraordinary. Oddly enough, I recently found it in TJ Max for 1/4 of the original price I paid for it 8 years ago. Good scent, very well done, and better when purchased at bargain basement prices. 22 November 2008 |
 | Awesome scent for those you love the outdoors - especially on a day when everybody is mowing the grass and the scent of summer is everywhere. NICE. 21 September 2008 |
 | Bright citrus pepper opening. Elemi is predominant, so if you don't care for this note you will be put off by Oscar for Men. The top notes last for quite a while and meld fairly seamlessly to the green floral heart. The base is a typical woody/incense accord. Overall this fragrance is well done, it's just not anything original. It's in very moderate rotation in my collection. Even though the sillage is fairly strong, Oscar for Men is perfect for days I want a fresh scent that doesn't stand out to much. Well done, but rather boring. Worth picking up if you find it in a bargain bin like I did ($12.00 for 100 ml.). 25 August 2008 |
   | One of the scents I hope is always around (yet I know better). A leather, tobacco note is what I detect. Manly and refined. Always receive compliments when I choose to wear this. I love this scent! The balm is weak though...too watery and non-soothing. Weak as limp cows milk. 07 July 2008 |

|  Disgusting. When I first sprayed it on I thought I'd gotten a bad bottle but then I talked to a friend who worked the counters when this stuff was released and she informed me they sold one bottle in NINE MONTHS. It's not bad if you're just catching a whiff of the stuff...somewhat leather/carnation (not bad). But if you go in for a close whiff...have a trashcan nearby into which you can vomit! Sour, sweaty, reminiscent of pencil shavings from my school days. Wouldn't be caught dead wearing this stuff!11 April 2008 |
