Ted Baker Skinwear (1998)
by Ted Baker

I really like the opening. It alludes to a rosy chypre but deep down, it's not. More of a blanched woods and spices. Much like Calvin Klein Man with a cypress note. Dries into a light musk and woods. Fairly pleasant.

It's not as shortlived as many say. My skin gulps down heavy hitters like Opium and Givenchy Pi. So I have every longevity problem in the world. This one requires the right environment (warm to hot) to work. It just sills and sills in the heat. I've also realised another thing. You must sweat minimally as well, you must be CLEAN for it to work. Exfoliate and do all sorts of stuff and be squeaky clean. *Then you must spray it on and moisturize and spray it on again. Wear light clothes for it to show through and it'll stay on for the whole day into the next. Complementary shower gel boosts this stuff as well. Worth having.

All in all a nice if not boring summer scent. But it gets the job done exceptionally well. And I mean EXCEPTIONALLY well.

I love this fragrance...so distinctive...and lots of compliments...only flaw is longetivity...which is not great on your skin,so maybe a bit on your shirt...You will get lots of questions about this when you wear it,along the lines of " Ohhh,you smell nice...what you got on?"

Started my interest in fragrance. Interesting composition of sandlewood and citrus. Smells the way everyone describes Erfolfa: like being near the ocean. Highly recommended. Clean, crisp, wear-to-work scent. Affordable, too. Will always keep a bottle handy. FYI: Ted Baker has a store in the Forum, @ Ceasar's, in Vegas.

(There's a fifth color: Orange). Ted Baker is bright, slightly kicky and has a great opening presence. After that, I don't know what the heck happens to it, but I don't think I like it. There seems to be some kind of "rubber" note in it, or something reminiscent of vinyl dish washing gloves. But the opening blast is good.

great freshness and you even feel invigorated wearing it...but your invigoration runs uot after 15 minutes because thats as long as it lasts..lovely topnotes of citrus morphing into sea breeze quickly..
