T for Him (2001)
by Tommy Hilfiger

Manages to recreate the exact smell of washing powder. Not clean clothes or freshly washed clothes but actual neat washing powder. For me the best part of this fragrance comes after the first 10-20 minutes. It loses the harsh chemical soap smell and becomes mellow and sweet like cut grass.

Not bad but for the price this costs to buy I don't think it is worth it.

Considering that I got two 3.4 oz bottles of this stuff at Sams Club on discount, I'd say I got a pretty good bargain. This may not be earth-shattering, but it's a good middle of the road fragrance for daytime spring/summer wear. The "fresh wet t-shirts" note is an interesting note, and though I don't know if it quite gets that effect, it does make for a somewhat spicy middle. The fragrance really reminds me of fresh cut grass.

Some people won't find much interesting about this fragrance, and I can understand why. It's not very complex. It's just straight up fresh. And maybe this is because it comes from Hilfiger, but it does remind me of a toned down, slightly peppery Tommy.

There's nothing earth-shattering here and the longevity isn't that great, but it is a pleasant and fresh juice for day time casual/outdoor use.

OK, so this is a scent I smelled on someone else and was captivated by initially. The burst of citrus was so clean, green and well rounded, it was mouth-watering. I didn't feel that I needed to actually wear it before deciding to buy it since it seemed like such a straightforward, fresh, clean scent. I don't usually buy mass marketed cologne, but for casual wear, this seemed refreshing.

Well, on skin, this is a dissapointment. After the grapefruit/lime topnote quickly fades, the "green" edge of the citrus is left behind on ones body as a strong celery seed note, which I'm surprised that no one has mentioned thus far. It's almost like Yatagan but not as interesting, accompanied by that standard, hackneyed men's 70s fougere accord with lavender and amber. Unwearable.

Although I didn't get a full wearing of this, T is a very light crisp aquatic/green cologne. This falls along the lines of Paris Hilton for men and Zirh. Best for a day by the pool, IMO. What I got from the opening was either cucumber or watermelon accords, the opening smelled a bit chemical, and I was afraid for a highly chemical dry down. Though again, I stress, I did not get to wear this one fully.. just a small half squirt on the wrist from an open box at TJ Maxx. The price tag was 19.99 for a 3.4 oz bottle, which I may bite on this one, but it just seems so generic to me. I've never been really impressed with anything from the Hilfiger house, but if I do decide to buy this, and my opinion changes.. I will most definitely update this review.

I love this little treasure of a scent and am flabbergasted that anyone could find anything to dislike about it. But, everyone's nose is different... I don't find it boring at all. It's unique and distinct and unlike anything else out there that they're calling "fresh". This one really is. I've never been a big fan of Hilfiger's scents. They're so middle of the road, never take a risk, yes, mostly boring. But not "T". It's clean without being soapy (although I love soapy) which is interesting since it has the infamous "freshly washed tee shirt" note. It's aldehydes all the way for this one...and the problem with aldehydes is that they can come off as cheap and synthetic and induce headaches. But here, they are done to perfection, as good as Chanel (the master (or mistress?) of aldehydes). This one makes me feel clean and cool, even in the hottest weather.

This one is kind of interesting. The initial blast is kind of offputting, but there is something addictive about it. The only reason I got it (for free. A friendly basenoter gave his bottle away) was the mentioned laundry note. I'm a nut when it comes to clean smelling fragrances, especially if they come with a twist. Some people here has written about a peppery accord. Another one mentioned a "screechy ambiance" in T for him. I think both are right, but then comes that laundry note which is very hard to pinpoint. It is a bit of a mess, but a nice mess. Kind of like the dusty concrete floor in the laundromat. Or maybe just the entrance, since the detergent note is so subdued.

I'm giving it neutral here, but I'm on the positive side.
