Dirty English (2008)
by Juicy Couture

I have a bottle of the first release batch of this fragrance that came with a leather strap with metallic charms wrapped around the bottle cap.

After the initial spray, the fragrance smells orangey spicy with an added zarzaparrila note which must be the ebony wood note; this olfactory accord is the backbone of the fragrance and persists till the end.

I cannot smell any oud whatsoever here.

The overall feel is light, not too complex and certainly very sinthetic.

Longevity is around 8 hours.

I enjoyed the Aftershave soother better than the fragrance itself.

My 30ml bottle will get used on early morning dog walks after my current Melvita orange cannelle bottle is finished.

Medium Thumbs!

This is a double thumbs up considering the price.
Without the low price its a semi thumbs up.
This is a solid inoffensive office fragrance which will also work round the clock. Fresh and spicy but rather peppery for me after the opening.
Lasts a couple of hours only so take the bottle with you.
Well worth the money and one of the best budget fragrances I have smelled.
See also Chopard Noble Vetiver (and Noble Cedar) which you can find reduced going for a song!



Fragrance: 4/5
Projection: 3/5
Longevity: 2/5

This goes in the right direction, and at a very good price. Starts off airy and synthetic like Chanel Allure Homme, which I didn't expect. With some patience, the leather and wood come through, which are very nice. This is not a high quality scent, though, and it can come over a little cheap. Sillage + Longevity were very good.

A real head turner that gets tarnished by it's laughable longevity. Screams masculine, have yet to meet someone who didn't fall in love with it.
