Pi or Pie? I feel like a gigantic custard pie wearing this. I had to wash it off because it gave me such a headache and turned my stomach with its overbearing saccharine. A good fragrance if you're the Aunt Bea type.

According to me , Pi is totally a failure. Initial notes cause me instant headache, and then its drys down smells like cheap candy.....Although some people find it unique....but for me, its horrible.

Way too sweet for my taste. Not a big fan of vanilla or caramel and it has both blended in and hits you straight away. The vanilla seems to stay there, even in the drydown and gives me a headache after a while.

To paraphrase a common Russian saying about one too many fools, this is vanilla riding a vanilla flogging it with a vanilla whip. Or maybe sugar caramelized in sugar syrup. Save your money and get yourself a cartload of Movenpick vanilla instead. To add insult to injury, Pi boasts one of the tackiest bottle I've seen, on par with Amouage.

Appallingly vanilla, with a positively noxious odour of woodchips, followed by a chemical scent (benzoic crystals, indeed...hello, sodium benzoate). This is disgustingly sweet, and smells most like a store-brand baby powder. I can't recommend this at all.

Smells like a grandma would wear this! Smells very old person like with a dry down of vanilla and baby powder. Also doesnt seem that strong. DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS.

Wow, this is so cloying, and so awful. This can be summed up entirely by saying: Vanilla car air freshener.

Evne the worst math teacher in the world couldn't pull this powerful concoction off. It's like VX nerve agent for the senses. It's pure powder. It's hospital smell. Oh, wait...Pi is all of the above! I hope that Givenchy's new Very Irresistable for Men is better, but I'm not holding my hopes up.

I found it too cloying, but maybe that's because I live in a warm climate. In any case, I wouldn't use this.

TOO SWEET. Those are the best words to describe this cologne. I tested it at a department store and it smelled fine, but when I applied it on my skin, it almost seemed like I had a tub of flowers dumped on me, it's sweet to the point that it's irritating.

Disgusting. One of the worst in its category. Extremely sweet. Has nothing to express. Perhaps they would like to create the new Le male, but the result is annoying.
P.S. What' s the connection between the scent and the astronaut in the ad?... I hope they don' t imply that it is a futuristic fragrance!!!
