   |  As much as I tried to like this one, it always reminded me of mosquito spray and gave me an intense headache.27 April 2009 |
 | Unless my bottle was bad, this was one of those smells-like-nothing situations. I thought I wasn't smelling anything at first and then realized it was just really light and dry lavender. It smelled like the cheapest generic dryer sheets I had ever encountered. And this was OK for a while...after using more sprays than usual, it actually imparted a smell to me, but that just degraded into a subtle but annoying "got some crap from the dryer sheets on your hands and it won't wash off" sensation. 25 April 2009 |
 |  A FUNNY PERFUME, VERY FRESH BUT SWEET, I LIKE THIS FRAG VERY MUCH07 March 2009 |
 | This was Karl Lagerfeld's attempt with the Elizabeth Arden Company in 1990 to reproduce the success of Drakkar Noir. The fragrance to me is like Frankenstein version of Drakkar! The citrus of Photo is heavy amped up with the lavender that it gives a very perfumy effect the basenotes are so loud with the leather benizon they are actually shrill. I have found from my own demise that this fragrance makes the nose become very fatigued fast and you no longer smell it which will make you spray more and more thinking its a close skin scent. It is not and you will knock over others with your sillage - to me this is the poster child for stinky men's cologne! 21 February 2009 |
   | I haven’t smelled the (supposedly) new formulation, and to be honest, I’m not interested about it in the future either. The original juice (and the bottle) is very compelling case, though. The scent released in 1990 is still very much deep in the 80`s style-wise. Big herbaceous soapy fougere with very notable juicy honey note. It also has a wonderful fresh leathery accord that lingers on skin for a long time. The original Kraftwerk-ish bottle of Photo is amazingly good looking. It is one of my favourite bottles ever. Such a shame that they had to change the juice and the bottle. 03 February 2009 |
 |  Quite boring and soapy.Says to me I am wearing a fragrance but not a distintive one.Good to wear if you are stuck for choice in a morning.Wouldnt wear it for an evening out.My classification would be a casual fragrance.Much prefer the original Lagerfeld29 December 2008 |
