Versace Man (2003)
by Versace

When I wear cologne, I don't want to smell like cookies, cake, chocolate, fruit pies, etc.. Versace Man starts off promising with a spicy-sweet accord that smells like tobacco, amber and citrus. I thought I was going to really like Versace Man at first. Within 15 minutes, however, it turns into this dreadful "gourmand" fragrance. For the next 6 hours, I'm suffering through the smell of blueberry cobbler with vanilla sauce on my skin. Maybe fans of dessert colognes might like this, but not me.

Very Skeptical initially, coz it looked like another one of those generic fresh scents. Boy was i pleasantly surprised. It has a pleasant spicey fresh opening. Like many 21st century scent, this relies on florals, herbs and woods. I find it a tad powdery/smoky towards the end tho, but nothing offensive at all. one of the best after blue jeans

like Connoisseur wrote, it opens with bubblegum and dries down to smell of glass surface cleaner. yuck.

I might not like the odor of whiskey, port wine & vodka but I like Baldessarini Ambre, Burberry London & Joop! Jump a lot.

Similarly, the vibe of tobacco certainly makes me feel irritated but smelling the Versace Man awakens my senses positively and my nose is adjusted to sniff it again n again. This was so far a lengthy decision and I tested Versace Man various times before making a final conclusion to add it in my wardrobe. Now, I SIMPLY LOVE IT!

It is a mix of spices and woods with tobacco dominance that plays the HIDE n SEEK with silage-waves. It’s sexy, it’s manly and it lasts.

PS. Synthetic: YES! But call it a “Synthetic Art”. Do not compare it with Terre D’ Hermes because the result will be an INFINITY as they are totally different worlds.

Very nice but way too familiar. There are so many other frags like it out there. Chrome by Azzaro will give you a similar effect with a cleaner finish.

Versace Man starts out with a strong flower and spices not the really compliment each other. The top notes actually last a long time but they smooth out to a sweet, tobacco, spice base that is really nice. Like others have said, its synthetic, but in a good way. When I first smell this, I was like "This smells like bug spray." Ew......but.....after a few minutes, I was in love. I turned back around on the highway and went back to buy it. Couldn't resist.
