Dirty English (2008)
by Juicy Couture

I actually blind bought a bottle of Dirty English.I would have tried it but no where locally had a tester.I love leather and knew this stuff would appeal to my old-school taste...so why not drop the $20.

From what I've came to wearing Dirty English for a few weeks is that I like this scent...grew on me really fast.Every time I sniffed this though I kept thinking 'something in this smells familiar to an older cologne I had'...Havana by Aramis.It's the booze and spicy clove heart that struck a familiar vein,beyond that?Dirty English and Havana are very different.Lots of leather,a mild then growing to strongly dry sandalwood,booze and clove.Not too much clove though...it is turned down a little more versus Havana.The notes change hands in strength quite a bit so it does morph quite a bit and keeps my nose interested.

I don't really feel it has poor performance aside from it doesn't come with powerhouse sillage.It's a fair projection scent but noticeable at close range.1 spray to the neck and two to the chest I can smell Dirty English drifting up from my shirt for almost 8 hours.I could see if Dirty English were powerhouse level it would be easy to overdo it's strong scent character.And this is the current formula by EA Fragrances.Very curious to try the original formula by Juicy Couture and see if it was better or not.Even if Dirty English was better?still worth the 4-star rating as-is.
