Set Sail South Seas for Men (2008)
by Tommy Bahama

Floral, fresh, and airy.

Good staying power and silage too. Good offering, TB may offer it as a special summer scent but this could easily be versatile enough for night time, fall, and spring.

A light scent, and another Eau de Cologne like the Tommy Bahamas tend to be. Doesn't seem to want to last quite as long as I'd like, but it's also hard to douse yourself in this to the point of being offensive.

The opening lime and mandarin actually struck me as grapefruit the first couple times I tried the scent (and they still do). Reminded me more of Issey Miyake than I expected, but though I'm not a big fan of L'Eau d'Issey, I actually find this pleasant. Otherwise seems fairly straightforward, with a clean watery, subtle violet sense settling in shortly thereafter. I don't get anywhere near the sense of rum from this as I do with the original Tommy Bahama Cologne Spray (which *really* conjures up a great dark buttery spiced rum for me).

All-in-all a very clean scent, great for casual, warm weather. Like the other Tommy Bahamas I've sampled, this is the kind of thing that I think would actually make a great soap, so it's no surprise to me when I see they actually make them. Definitely in the category of giving a clean smell where someone could have simply used a premium soap, and it doesn't scream "cologne" -- I tend to like scents that fit the category.

This is good, "clean," safe, and usable even on a daily basis, but doesn't impress me as much as the original Tommy Bahama Cologne. Think this one would go over better in warm weather and on a daily basis though, and dare say I might get some regular use out of it the remainder of this summer. Not shabby. Not mind-blowing, but not at all shabby.

This is the second best to in my collection, next to Issey Miyake, and I love it.

Mandarin. Violets. Rum. I actually like it just as much as Issey Miyake. They both have their own special style, and that special something about them. Set Sail St. Barts, is good too. Awsome. But this one last a little bit longer. I guess it's because it doesn't have too many notes in this one. The others they try to get you to smell everything, every little detail, but this one is straight to the point. Great one Tommy Bahama, I am definately stocking up. I wlike to wear fragrances that you can wear all year round, I found a few others I like. Versace Eau Fraiche, YSL: L'Homme. But this one and definately Issey Miyake is ALL-WAYS my favorite. Too many "copycats" out there, TB you DEFINATELY got my attention

Definite bitter orange top note and the violets are "stinky" like they are in other frags and the rum note... well I guess it isn't a Tommy Bahama perfume without rum in it to portray the ocean. Very light and casual. Good for warm days but I would feel ill wearing this on those humid days where the air is thick.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this...but I was a tad disappointed. The first TB was a smokey yet attrractive manly fragrance. The second Very Cool, was indeed cool, icy actually, gave my nose a 'brain freeze' and i did not like it. The third was better, smells a lot like a margarita, and gives the impression of a good time. This fourth installment is like the second. It is cold and icy with a sweet manly edge. I think the violets are overpowering, and some people might like that. It can be addictive also, but for me it is a no. Now I am looking forward to the fifth version, I think I will like it.

Wonderful scent,Tommy nailed it to the wall with this one. Longevity isnt that great but I tend to soak up most frags rather quickly. The fresh scent of limes are quick to hit my nose and very quickly I swear it turns into a coconut snowcone ,sounds to sugary but it is very subtle and enjoyable,shortly after the rum takes over and it seems to have a little sandalwood in the background. with a very plesant salty undertone,how to you get that!?! Its like setting sail to a cove by a beautiful island. Thanks Tommy! What a wonderful summer scent.
