Thallium
by Jacques Evard

Its a light, pleasant, airy smell will surprising sillage as I can smell it within 30 ft of the mall kiosk. I love the bottle, color of the juice, and spray mechanism. It's scent reflects the juice in that it has a light, fresh smell with vanillic overtones and a fruity underscore thats just everso present. I wanted to get this just to have for novelty sake but would I actually wear it? Possibly but not often enough. It smells very "European" as it were.

Funny how SmellyNinja said 'Just don't get swindled paying full designer house price at a mall kiosk.' because thats exactly how I found it and I overpaid for it as well.

If you got an extra $20, this might be a safe blind buy. There is nothing to really hate about this EDT, but there is nothing really to rave about either.
I like to spray down my sheets with this to sleep in. The spray mechanism is great.

It's good for work because it won't choke out the person in the next cubicle, and it doesn't come off as trying to hard, and you don't smell like you just came from the club and went to work.

Starts off smelling like a hundred different fragrances and ends up smelling like a hundred different others.

Which isn't to say it's at all bad. It's a nice, light, fruity gourmand that lasts quite a while and is suitable for everyday wear. When you consider the price, it becomes even better.

If you're looking for something Joop-like, give this a try. Just don't get swindled paying full designer house price at a mall kiosk.

Lightly toasted, caramelized vanilla. Not much else going on here, but nicely done. Makes me wonder if it could be lightly layered against some other scent…

Yeah I agree. Hollister Socal, would be the first fragrance Im thinking of to layer with this, very gooood indeed

When doing my reviews, I like to compare fragrances to others, it really helps greatly, especially when you're able to use 2 mainstream fragrances to compare. In Thallium's case, picture the middke notes of Joop! mixed with the top notes of Rochas. Thallium is a gourmand with a light fruity twist to it. The opening is comparable to that of Rochas, Animale Animale or Bod Heat by Bod Man. After its been on your skin for about an hour it may feel like a skin scent or as if the fragrance has vanished completely, but trust me, it's still there.. just very very subtle.

Vanilla, cocoa, a little powdery, possibly mango.. it may sound gross to mix Joop! and Rochas, but trust me it works very very well. This is a light scent though, don't expect a lot of sillage, longevity is about 4-6 hours. Thallium would make a great fragrance for more intimate affairs, a date, a formal event, or even an sexual encounter.

Try before you buy gets thrown out the window on Thallium, because for one it's hard to find in stores, and two it's one of the most inoffensive fragrance I've come in contact with. Pretty much everybody likes it, so if you've got an extra 20 bucks to squander, don't rule this guy out.. it's mighty good. B-

This stuff is great for the price, and it's pretty unknown which is a good thing to me. It kind of reminds me of Burberry London, Light Blue by D&G, and Gucci PH2 a little bit. I'd rather have this than any of both of those though. I really like the opening on this one, it's slightly green and oriental in spices, floral and sweet and then dries down to a warm ambery, vanilla, musk scent. Not very much wood scents going on. Nothing about it is offensive unless you think sweetness is a bad thing. It's not overbearingly sweet and there isn't any overbearing notes to me. If you like sweet, and you like vanilla then you'll love it. That's really all you need to ask yourself. The Sillage is pretty strong for the first 3-4 hours on me and continues on for about another 5 hours hugging your skin but still strong if you smell yourself. People might think you're hiding fresh sugar cookies in your pants as you walk by which is actually quite amusing to me and may add to my enjoyment of this frag even more.

I own both this and Thallium Sport. I think Thallium Sport is the better of the two even though it lasts half as long, but it doesn't bother me because it's so inexpensive, I don't mind being liberal using either of them and carrying them in my car. I'd recommend you read my other review of Thallium sport to get a better idea between the two. Enjoy!
