Roots for Him (2001)
by Roots

A good but not great fragrance from the Canadian sportswear house. It's definitely outdoorsy with cedar and dried leaves as the dominant notes. If you walk around in plaid shirts and work boots all day it's a fine choice. Personally, I find myself not wearing Roots for Him all that much, and it's probably because it's too aquatic and too similar to a bunch of other fragrances to bother with. But that's just me.

Very Nice, cooly green and kind of elegant. Roots products are high quality and this cologne reflects their integrity. Recommended.

I'm pretty sure this is what I'm thinking of, as the cologne I'm reviewing doesn't have a definitive page here on basenotes.

Anyways, I picked this bottle up at the Canada area of Epcot at Walt Disney World. I love it a lot. It reminds me of a less in-your-face version of Kenneth Kole's Reaction. And I like Reaction quite a bit, but this comes out on top. Like another reviewer mentioned, I'm not crazy about the packaging or the bottle, but in the end of things, its the scent that matters.

I give this a 7 out of 10. Definitely worth a try.

I have a real problem with the bottle, it just looks and feels inexpensive. So much so that when I first got it I though I got a cheap copy. The fragrance itself is not bad, it reminds me of a cool afternoon hiking in an evergreen forest in British Columbia, so it appeals to the outdoors side of me. The fragrance lasting power is OK, nothing special but not bad. More synthetic then I would like.
