Zirh (2001)
by Zirh

A Nice, Fresh Citrusy Scent that most will find unobjectionable and maybe even a bit too average.
A good choice for daily and casual wear.
A Clean-Style Fragrance.
I've had this as a staple in my wardrobe for years and I will grab this whenever I am undecided as it is a safe bet.
Silage is nice, projection average and longevity a bit short.
But's it's affordable, fresh and available. Why Not?

Great out of the shower smell, if your looking for something just to wear for casual use, around the house etc. Unfortunately too weak to ever be worn with a real purpose.

Very boring run of the mill fresh scent. There are much better scents with a longer scent life. Nothing in here that I have smelled before in so many frags.

A great scent for when you want to smell clean and fresh, but not really unique. Very fresh, but smells very similar to the discontinued Hilfiger Athletics.

Smells great! But so do the 2526 other fragrances that smell like it!
Very uninspiring.
Have to pump 57 sprays onto you to get some sort of smell. (exaggeration)
Nothing special.
Good for going to the store, visit family, or running errands, or just going to bed...

Interesting company, Zirh. They're well known for a plethora of heavily marketed, massively over-priced grooming and skincare products which promise the earth but deliver very little, yet on the side they also quietly release a couple of little known, inoffensive but generally well regarded fragrances which are very reasonably priced. Their self titled signature scent is the least good of the three available, but it's still pleasant smelling and, most importantly, dirt cheap. It's a typical linear fresh aquatic which will win no awards for being new or bold, with notes listed in the pyramid that most people won't be able to pick out (I get no such fruity opening as is promised, or anything woody at the base), but it's reliable, familiar, unlikely to upset anyone and works no matter how much or how little you spray on. Correctly marketed as a skin scent (even though the bottle itself says it's an EDT), it's VERY subtle on the skin, but nevertheless has half decent longevity and projects just enough to remain good throughout the day. It also looks great - the bottle and tube it comes in are nifty and have influenced several bigger releases since. Sure, it lacks the invention and complexity of Ikon and the richness of Corduroy, but when you can pick up 125ml for £10 (sometimes less if you look in the right places) and compare it to its similar (and often much more expensive) stablemates, Zirh is a guaranteed score. If only they could get the spray pump working properly!
